I am new here, recently diagnosed. I was wondering what brand of gluten free corn meal mix you would suggest. My husband (Tennessee born and bred lol) loves beans and corn bread and I am hoping I can find a gluten free brand that both of us can enjoy (Hubby does not have celica disease).

Thanks!

Oh...I want to share my Aw Ha moment from this morning. I am standing in the bedroom putting on my socks and shoes and I don't have to "hold" on to the bed post like I always did before or I would loose my balance. Then it hit me. I had read on here about one problem with celiac disease was balance issues. It seems like in less then 2 weeks my balance is already getting better.

And I got on the scale this morning and have already lost almost 5 pounds in less then 2 weeks :) woo hoo !!!!

Thanks everyone for all your great posts and information. You are going to make this journey to a healthier happier me so much easier.

Glad to hear you're feeling better already!

I just made Bob's Red Mill G.F. Cornbread Mix tonight and it was delicious!!! You won't be able to tell a difference.

As long as you are not sensitive to oats Bob's Red Mill is a good one. There isn't any oats in the mix but it is processed in the same plant. I get the corn flour rather than the corn bread mix as I don't like sorghum which is in the mix.

Bob's Red Mill gluten-free Cornbread is fantastic!! I love my beans and cornbread, too, so I was pleasantly suprised to find a good mix! IT's really easy to make, too!

P.S. Where in TN is your hubby from? I lived in Memphis for 10 years....still miss that place (especially during the long Chicago winters)! :(

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this. My own told me that by using Gaviscon a barrier forms over the contents of the stomach and stops gas and acid irritating the throat.  In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue.   A wedge pillow will really help with this - or raising the top bed legs with bricks.

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired.  I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years,  I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.
