Ok so Ive posted a couple things on here, and no one really responds, so im hoping to get some responses to this one. First of all let me say I am waiting for blood test results to find out if I have Celiac. If they are negative, I know already that I am Gluten Sensitive, so I have to follow a gluten free diet for the rest of my life. Ive read on here that Tinkyada pasta is the best, and I have to say, everyone was right. Its amazing pasta, tastes just like "regular" pasta, so Thank You for that. One of my questions is about bread. I have tried schars bread, the white kind. The flavor isnt bad but the texture is gross. It tastes spongey.....and crumbles when you barely touch it. Ive heard that Udi's is the best gluten free bread on the market, can anyone tell me if it is spongey? Or does it have the consistency of "regular" bread? Also Ive asked this before but when I eat gluten I sneeze immediately, when I don't eat gluten I don't sneeze at all. Has anyone else ever had this symptom? It is a weird one that I have never seen anyone mention before. The other question I have is, are cheese slices like kraft american singles gluten free? I made mac and cheese today with Tinkyada pasta and some cheese slices because I read the label and nothing jumped out at me that it contained gluten. If anyone could answer these questions for me I would greatly greatly appreciate it. Ive been gluten free for 3 days and already feel much much better, Im just having trouble with what is and isnt gluten free. I should be seeing the dietitian next week. Any input or answers are welcomed. Thanks!

Hi! Sorry if some of you posts have not gotten responses. Udi's is good toasted but I can't eat it untoasted at all. It's not mushy like wonder bread if that is what you are looking for. The best I have found is Rudi's gluten-free bread, which I can eat toasted or untoasted. No gluten-free bread, however, is going to be the same as regular gluten bread. You can get closer by learning to bake your own at home through a lot of trial and error (gluten-free baking is not at all like baking with wheat). It would be best to wait several months to eat gluten-free bread until you no longer remmember the taste and texture of wheat bread. Cheese is gluten-free. However, many people find that they are lactose intolerant or casein intolerant after they go gluten-free. If you find you are still having symptoms when you eat cheese you may want to drop all milk products for several montsh to let your intestines heal. Some people are able to add dairy back in later on.

The sneezing sounds like a wheat allergy; do you sneeze if you just get around gluten - like an early warning system?

I sneeze at the dinner table all the time - not related to gluten, maybe to pepper f or me. Sneezing when I eat is quite common for me at any meal, actually. Drives hub nuts :rolleyes:

Kraft is a company you can trust to always label gluten content clearly.i

Bread is a very individual thing depending on whether you like it chewy or smushy. Most people think Ener G bread is ghastly - some love it :D

Having had Schar and Udi bread, Udi's is FAR better. Trust me. Schar's is one of the absolute worst I have ever tried and I refuse to have it again. Ever. The texture is horrid. Udi's is a vast improvement. My preference is to make my bread but for those not inclined Udi's is really pretty good (especially toasted). Have never seen Rudi's bread but have heard a lot about it. When I see it I would like to give it a try.

Although Schar's bread is despicable (can you tell I don't love it?) the company makes some very good products (i.e. bread sticks) so don't give up on them altogether! :D

Hopefully your dietitian will have some wisdom and insight. Mine is very good and extremely knowledgable.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Sarah Grace,  Thank you for the update!  It's so good to hear from you!  I'm glad Thiamine, B Complex and magnesium have helped you.  Yes, it's important to take all three together.    I had to quit eating cheese and nuts a long time ago because they triggered migraines in me, too.  They are high in tyrosine, an amino acid, found also in fermented foods like sauerkraut and red wine.   I found taking Tryptophan very helpful with migraines.  Tryptophan is a precursor of serotonin and people with migraines are often low in serotonin.  (Don't take tryptophan if you're taking an SSRI.)     This recent study shows tryptophan really helps. The association between dietary tryptophan intake and migraine https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31254181/   For immediate respite from a migraine, try smiling REALLY BIG, mouth closed, tongue pressed against roof of mouth, and crinkle up your eyes like you just heard or saw the funniest thing...  This causes an endorphin release in the brain.  Usually it's the funny event, then the endorphin release and then the smile.  Smiling first makes the endorphin center think it missed something and it catches up quickly by releasing endorphins after the big crinkle eyed smile.  Must make crinkly eyes with smile or it won't work.  If you do this too frequently within a short time frame (several hours), you can deplete your endorphins, but you'll make more in a couple of hours, so no worries. Get your thyroid checked, too.  Migraines are also seen in low thyroid function (Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism).  Celiac and thyroid problems go hand in hand.   Vitamin D helps, too.  Low Vitamin D is found in migraine.   I'm so glad you're doing better.

      Its been a complete nightmare dealing with all these health issues one thing after another and being told many different things.I am looking for a new primary care physician considering when I told my past doctor of 25 years I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet and now this year at age 54 no longer able to push considering Im always exhausted, leg pain , stomach,skin and eye issues,high blood pressure to name a few all worsen because I was a  school bus driver and few years until my immune system went to hell and was fired because of it.Im still struggling now, Im sibo positive and been told im not celiac and that I am.I have a hernia and dealing with menopause. Its exhausting and is causing depression because of non medical help. Today I saw another gastrointestinalist and he said everything im feeling doesn't add up to celiac disease since my ITg levels are normal so celiac disease is under control and it's something else. I for got I had Barrett's esophagus diagnosed in 2007 because recent doctors down played it just like my celiac disease. Im currently looking for a pcp in my area because it is affecting me personally and professionally. Im told since celiac looks under control it's IBS and I need to see a therapist to control it. Gastrointestinalist around here think only food consumption and if ITG looks normal its bit celiac disease it's something else. Is this right? This is what im being told. I want medical help but told its IBS.Im feel lost by " medical team "

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.
