I'm New Here, And How I Came To Be Here Is A Long Story.

Hi everyone!!

I'm not sure how this site works, but here's my story:

I am a nurse. I do not have celiac disease (or a food allergy). I have friends that do, and what I've experienced with my friends/patients is that it is a very difficult thing to deal with- the learning how to eat all over again to avoid some of the suffering that you guys have to deal with.

I'm trying to make the world a better place, one gluten free dessert at a time. Silly? Maybe. I'm a Southern girl, though, and we're always feeding everyone!

I created a recipe for gluten free lemon bars, and I was wondering if you all would take a look. Or better yet, make it and tell me what you think.

I'm also interested in what other desserts people like that may not be available without wheat based flours.

I have made it my mission to make gluten free stuff that actually tastes good.

I thank you so much in advance for your help, and I'm really excited to hear from you guys!!!

Well, it's not that I forgot, it's that I posted it with a link... Which as I found out today, is against the rules. So the link was deleted, and I am afraid to post the recipe for fear that Google will flag me for duplicate content, even though I don't think one can plagiarize their own work. Sighhhhhh.

I wish there were a way for me to do that little emoticon with its head banging on the wall. It's TOTALLY appropriate here.

It's okay to post a link to your own content, as long as it is on your profile page, not in the body of the forum. :)

Give that a try.

Thank you so much for helping me find a way around this. Since I'm still super new (and all my posts have to be viewed and approved by a moderator), I will do it first thing tomorrow if you can tell me how. I looked around on the profile page, but I'm unsure how best to proceed. You. Are. Awesome.

Hi!! As soon as I figure out how to post it on my profile, it'll be there. I'll let you know when that finally happens, and if you're still interested, I'd love it if you'd be so kind as to give it a whirl.

Ps- I love NC. Spent a lot of summers in Brevard as a child :)

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      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!
