I guess this is the right forum for this. I bought a copy of a gluten-free magazine today at the supermarket. It has lots of interesting articles and I thought about subscribing. Found the info for that and it's $34 for 4 issues a year. Why are gluten-free mags so expensive? Ergh! OK, end of rant. <_<

Probably costs more to test for gluten and produce in a dedicated gluten-free factory? :D

My guess would be that since the celiac community is pretty small compared to the rest of the population, it would cost a lot to keep a publication marketed to us going.

I didn't know that anything like that even existed. Yeah, definately no bargain but did you like the magazine and find it informative??

One of my favourite food magazines is $11.50 per issue but it is absolutely outstanding - probably one of the best on the planet so that makes it worth it to me.

Would you enlighten us a bit more on the content, number of pages, etc.? You've piqued my curiosity! :)

It's Gluten-Free Living, 58 pages for $8.95. It is good and I may pick it up now and then, just not ready to shell out the $34 right now. Still furniture shopping for the new place. :rolleyes: (I'm not really Diane-in-Maine anymore.... :P )

Interesting. That is expensive for such a slim magazine! At least the culinary one I mentioned costing $11.50 per issue it is nearly 200 pages packed with interesting info.

Will do some googling on "Gluten-Free Living" to see whether I can get it in Canada. OK - just checked and I can get it here but of course it is more expensive than the US as usual. One magazine I get is $28 in the US and $50 here! Not fair. :angry: I'm not bitter or anything... ;)

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      By GlutenFreeChef · Posted

      I finally am seeing a GI specialist after being gluten free for over 10 years. When I turned 30 an allergy panel stated that I was allergic to wheat, barley, rye, oats, peanuts, soy, and crab/lobster. A friend who worked at a pharmacy said my results looked just like hers and that I was probably celiac or severely gluten sensitive, so I stopped eating gluten and everything else on my list. I felt better. Since November of 2024 I've been having issues that looked like thyroid, but could be EoE in combination with perimenopause and went off of dairy as well, which provided relief. While in Europe in November I decided to try eating wheat because I kept hearing rumors that I may not react to their wheat, and I didn't. I was so glad that now I'm importing it to make my own breads. My Homeopathic doctor said it was probably the glyphosates and pesticides that I am allergic too or reacting too, not the gluten. The GI wants to retest me for celiac and told me that I would need to switch back to American wheat products for the test to come out positive otherwise I may test negative since European wheat is different. This makes no sense to me. Gluten is gluten and is in the flour there as well as here. Please help, I don't want to ingest the pesticides and glyphosates for this test as I get severe migraines, bloating and joint pain when I do eat American wheat products. That is how I know I've had cross-contamination at restaurants. Does the type of wheat really matter???? I am so conflicted with this. The GI was getting irritated with me insisting that if gluten was really the issue that it would still show up regardless of where the wheat came from.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Speaking from experience, and as someone who was taking zinc in my multivitamins at the time of my outbreak, I would not rely on zinc or other supplements to prevent a shingles outbreak. That is what the new, extremely effective, 2 shot shingles vaccine is for, and this vaccine is very effective at preventing outbreaks. In my case I've not had shingles symptoms since I had the vaccine, which was over 10 years ago.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      When you say you didn't think twice when it was offered to you, are you meaning that you dismissed it or that without hesitation you got the vaccination?

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      I would note that the article linked here is putting forth a hypothesis, not presenting a scientific conclusion. And the one about zinc as a treatment for shingles is careful to say that the evidence is weak. It gets a "Source of validity" science rating of 2 out of 5.
