Yum Cougie! I might just do that with some apples tonight for supper :)

In other news, I think I've glutened myself :ph34r: It really annoys me too, because I ended up making a big pot of yummy chicken and vegetable soup tonight - nice and gluten free. Then I made tuna mornay for hubby and the kids. Did I use gluten-free flour for the sauce? No! I didn't even think about it because I wasn't eating it.

I put a couple of spoonfuls in the pan and Poof! A big cloud of gluteny dust. I think I ingested some because almost immediately I got a pain in my chest like there was a big lump in the middle of my ribcage. I felt totally fine before. A couple of hours later now and I've got little crampy pains in my stomach :( So yeah, less than a full week into my new diet and I'm glutened already (I think). And I didn't even eat anything!

I highly doubt there's gluten in canned tuna...FWIW, many times it does contain soy (either soy or soybean oil), which some people cannot tolerate.

I don't remember where I read that recently...it was on one of the gluten do's and don'ts lists I came across while googleing....but It was included under the catagory of "prossesed"meats....I think to keep it in one lump better? I can't remember exactly...but I remember thinking....REALLY....WAS THIS REALLY NESSASARY!!!!!?????

WHAT'S NEXT????!!!! Gluten in my bottled water? :blink:<_< who's brillent idea was it to gluten everything up anyways!!!!???? :angry::blink:

If I can find it again...I'll tell you which site it was on...but I need to find it again. :D

You are so right!!!

I was defineatly miss informed!!!

I couldn't find the article I read...(sometimes I'll save the more informitive sites in my computerfolder under "health"...but when I googled CANNED TUNA ....besides the occasional soy that you mentioned ( and one canadian brand that was flavored with teriyaki) it seemed a very gluten free enviornment! :D

My mistake :rolleyes:

Thankyou for the correction...I like tuna...but it does give me a bit of a tummy ache...probably the sandwich part!!!LOL

I miss 12 grain wheat bread!!! :(:P

surfer, I don't seem to have a problem with nightshades at this point, but it's something I'll be watchful of as I go along.

I just made this same mistake. I just ate some chocolate and feel horrible!!! Also, I was thinking that because Hershey;s is gluten free that Godiva would be too (Big Mistake) I am so nauseous now ughh! This is a very hard transition, I agree!

It is hard. Especially when you have to be conscious of so many things! I imagine over time it will become almost second nature though :)

I am paying for my glutening this morning with really bad joint pain, nausea and stomach trouble :(

Well my stomach has settled down to only mild cramping, but I feel wiped out! My joints are still niggling enough to make me uncomfortable as well. But the worst thing is an increase in my anxiety. I have suffered very badly with anxiety for years, and I noticed it settling down (slightly) in the last couple of days. But now I feel anxious and twitchy over nothing. Can I really react like this to gluten I didn't actually eat? Well, I suppose I ate some, but it was flour, so wasn't much!

Cougie,

Pepsi is gluten-free. Caramel color is gluten-free. We can't seem to shake off the myth about caramel color. In the US and Canada, it is made from corn. Even if it was made from wheat, as is the case in some European sources, it is so highly processed that there is no detectable gluten left in the coloring. It then becomes a very small part of the final product.

Cola products contain caffeine and phosphoric acid, both of which can irritate the digestive system.

Thanks psawyer for the info. I don't drink cola drinks but it's always good to add info to everything I'm learning :)

Cougie, we don't have trader joes here. We are lucky to have lots of places that stock fresh whole foods though, and lots of local markets.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
