Carbohydrates?

Does anyone else have digestive issues with carbohydrates in general-apart from the ones containing gluten? Potatoes bloat me up, even rice. I have found a low carb diet is the only way I can lose weight. I used to think I was carb intolerant, but now pretty sure its the glute. Besides, how can you live without even a few carbs. If I didnt have my glutino toast for breakfast I would go crazy.

Barry, I am all things carbohydrate intolerant. I have only figured this out because I resisted it kicking and screaming. I was ok with the gluten-free thing - but to give it all up? Insanity! I have recently figured out that I am soy intolerant as well. Just waiting for more things to pile on at this point. The only time I feel really good and have energy, is when I eat nothing but meat and veggies. If I start eating pasta, bread, popcorn, rice (all gluten-free of course), I start to get lightheaded, tired, and very spacey. Oh and my skin starts to freak out (dandruff, redness of my face, dermatitis on the left side of my nose, etc). I seem to do ok with sweet potatoes, but not regular potatoes. Thankfully, dairy is still ok for me, but sugar is NOT - so that knocks out my favorite dessert - chocolate ice cream!! I will still have a tiny bit of dark chocolate - just because I would like to still live!!

Have you tried cooking with almond or coconut flour? Has a lot of fiber and protein so you might react less, but can still have muffins and breads and such.

Kelley, I have not, but that sounds like a fantastic solution. Any ideas where I could find some great recipes using those alternatives? For the most part, I don't eat a lot of breads or pastries anyway. But to be able to make something occasionally and not have it throw my out of whack for a long time would be great. Always nice to have a muffin with coffee!! :-)

Not Kelley but these are my 3 favorite sites that have almond flour recipes.

Agree with the pp about Elana's Pantry - her stuff is so easy and really good. I make the chocolate chip cookies for my son a lot and I actually like them better than the gluten version. Also the Spunky Coconut (www.spunkycoconut.com). My favorite is her vanilla bean cake recipe. I usually do that for my son's birthday cakes.

Thank you for posting this, I was just looking through her recipes and there are quite a few I can make without substitution.

I will be attending a lecture in Apr entitled Food For Thought: How Nutrients Affect Mental Health and the Brain.

It's a 6 hour seminar for health care professionals. These people are from IBP, Institute for Brain Potential

It will cover exactly this(carbs) and other ways nutrients influence key neurotransmitters, stress-related eating, blood sugar and the brain & behavior and last but not least, optimizing sleep & awareness.

YES! The food you are eating is making you nuts! Thank god for this site and all the paths it has lead me on! I am feeling so good!

      Frustrated

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im not being heard by my previous doctor I had for 25 years. I switched in May of this year.I was half told of my celiac disease in 1994 and to stay away from wheat and Ill be just fine.Im not.Was on tramadel from I think 2006 til 2023.In 2007 still gluten-free had blood test and showed other food allergies. I have been avoiding and reading labels so I don't get sick.Im 54 years old, my right eye feels as if pressure ( seeing eye specialist) saw dermatologist and had skin graph was told ulcers but since I was disregarded of my celiac disease and it was previous doctor who sent me to dermatologist, its now " undetermined ".I pushed for the first and second ANA panel and negative. I had my 5th colonoscopy July 9 this year and colon looks great, BECAUSE IM gluten-free for 31 YEARS.Waiting on biopsy.My only celiac proof on medical was 2014 that i physically have, i don't have original. How do I get my new doctor to understand the severity of pain Im dealing with, daily flare ups.Exhausted and allergic to everything. Menopause has intensified, i feel but then again I had my 3rd covid in March 2023 and I can't bounce back.Pain down left leg always in the bathroom when I barely eat.Its affecting my life and frustrated with doctors not knowing.To be far my new doctor is having me see two specialist but how do I get him to understand its my false negative celiac disease????

      Lymphocytic Colitis with Celiac

      By Katerific · Posted

      I was diagnosed with microscopic colitis and celiac a couple of years ago.  The GI doctor prescribed a course of budesonide, which moderately helped until I tapered off.    After a lot of ups and downs over the course of 2 years, I am finally in microscopic colitis remission.  Since I am also diabetic, I was started on metformin and Jardiance.  Metformin by itself helped moderately.  I added Jardiance and I was much better.  I stopped the metformin and relapsed and when I added it back, I regained remission.  I think metformin and Jardiance helped my colitis because they reduce inflammation in the gut.  Metformin is known to favorably modulate the gut microbiome and reduce inflammatory cytokines.  Similarly, emerging evidence supports the anti-inflammatory properties of SGLT2 inhibitors like Jardiance.  Once I was on both, the diarrhea stopped completely, even though nothing else ever worked long-term.  There is a Facebook group that can be very informative and helpful.  Look for "Microscopic Colitis and Lymphocytic Colitis Support Group.  You will find that members of the Facebook group identify other pathways to remission of microscopic colitis.

      Hello, @Mrs Wolfe, I crushed three vertebrae moving a chest of drawers.  I take a combination of Thiamine Vitamin B1, Vitamin B12, and Pyridoxine B6.  Together these vitamins have an analgesic effect.  I think it works better than OTC pain relievers.   I also like  "Takeda ALINAMIN EX Plus Vitamin B1 B6 B12 Health Supplementary from Japan 120 Tablets" .   It's all three vitamins together in one pill.  Works wonderfully!

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      It's the Potassium Iodide in the HRT pills that is triggering Dermatitis Herpetiformis and the increased IGG levels.   The thyroid is stimulated by the Potassium Iodide, which stimulates immune cells to make more IGG antibodies.   Thiamine Vitamin B1 helps the thyroid function.  I like Benfotiamine and TTFD Thiamax.
