Florida Times-Union (blog)

According to Dr. Stefano Guandalini of the University of Chicago's Celiac Disease Center, a recent study in the United Kingdom found that 43 percent of people on a gluten-free diet rated their satisfaction as "poor" or "very poor," with 35 percent ...

Just what we do not need. Another male business writer (who probably doesn't cook) who is only six months into a gluten free diet and quoting foreign studies which support his point of view that gluten free food isn't supposedly as good as all the junk food he was scarfing down before. And as if the British gluten-free food manufacturers/ suppliers don't use that dreadful codex wheat starch. Oh, and there's the obligatory quote from the registered dietician about lack of nutrients.

Meh.

I'd have to agree with you, Takala.

Kind of depressing. I have only been gluten-free for about 4 months.

I don't feel FORCED into a gluten-free diet. I feel lucky that is all I have to do to heal myself.

I am not dissatisfied with my diet. I have lots of options and variety. (I do miss some things but...) I am able to find lots of gluten-free junk food.

I do not feel like my life is less because of my diet.

I feel like it takes more planning but otherwise is no big deal. Lots of can't eat this so I'll eat that.

They need to be more creative ;)

The only things we had to change were the bread cereal and pasta really then the flours of course but I've always made our food at home and we use mostly fresh fruit and veg anyway which are naturally gluten free so we haven't had to change all that much. Most of our meals were gluten free apart from the pasta. Yes it means calling ahead if we eat out somewhere but that's no big deal I had to do that anyway at new places to make sure they had a vegan option. I've had to cut out the vegan sausages and that's the only thing without a gluten free alternative. I've always used Orgran brand for packaged snacks anyway because they are vegan and they also happen to be gluten free.

Jungle and come dance with me-

Yes!

In my opinion, if you have to get stuck with an auto immune disease anyway, this one is the most tolerable as most of us can relieve many of the symptoms by just eating a bit differently and removing one grain species. Compared to being treated with medications that have serious side effects, becoming completely disabled, or dying from the complications of the disease itself, a piece of sorghum cake !

      There is such a thing, believe it or not, called gluten withdrawal. Gluten has addictive properties similar to opiates. I know it sounds bizarre but research it. Also, are you compensating for the loss of vitamins and minerals you were getting from the FDA mandated fortified wheat flour products you were formerly consuming?

      Just wondering can anyone help me out.heading on holidays and don’t really know what expect.if I get glutened are there tablets that you can take

      Does anyone else get soaking wet sweats just out of nowhere? I’m not in menopause, there’s nothing wrong with me except celiac disease and my thyroid, and I’m taking my medicine. I am 18 days gluten-free but I cannot stop sweating and it makes me freezing cold and I’m soaking wet and changing my clothes literally as I’m changing my clothes the new clothes are soaking wet and nobody will help me. Please somebody out there help me.

      Sometimes I end up spitting out a drink of water! But for the most part I do ok with the liquids that I've been sticking to which Is hardly anything carbonated (meaning diet soda mainly)  I drink alot of tea which I make myself lipton cold brew sweetened with half sugar and half Splenda, smoothies when I could in the beginning but made with milk so I'm now using orange juice instead of the milk but it doesn't workout real often I drink black coffee in the mornings with no trouble usually and I've been experimenting with some juices but the sugar content is a set back I'm not a huge water fan but will drink it unfortunately where I live I can't do the tap water I'm the only one who has a problem with it apparently but for some reason I just can't...unless I'm using it in coffee or tea and the tea even took me some time to stand yes I have thought about boost/ ensure but they are very costly for someone who is scrapping the bottom at this time

      Do you believe your swallowing is a manifestation of your neuropathy? I'm thinking if you are having trouble getting food down you need to focus on consuming things that have a high nutritional density so that whatever you are able to get down counts for something. Have you looked at Boost and other high protein/high calorie shake products?  They are fortified with vitamins and minerals as well. Do you have any trouble with aspiration of liquids? For celiac testing purposes, the guidelines are calling for daily consumption of about 10gm of gluten - the amount in about 4-6 slices of bread - in order to ensure valid testing. That sounds like it would be a challenger for you.
