    Its definately wheat hay. Where we live its too dry to grow alfalfa and legume hays. We can ship it in from across the country but its costs HEAPS. I am rereading this topic as I think I really have a problem with this now. When I started the thread it was winter and I was wearing more clothes to go into the barn. Now its summer here, I wear shorts and...

    Its Christmas here in Australia now - and my gift from my brother and his partner was one tin of biscuits .... with wheat flour , dairy and soy listed as ingredients .... I gave thoughtful and expensive gifts to each of them and I get one tin of biscuits that I can't eat in return... .

    Would this recipe work for a Gingerbread House or does anyone have a recipe for a GB House ? Any helpful tips ?

    We make ice cream from coconut milk all the time. Its great! I like the coffee rum flavour one the best. I will try to find the recipe for you.

    My friend does for her daughter. I can find out the brand of breadmaker for you. It is the one recommended by the Coeliac Society. Don't do what I did and just buy any brand .... it didn't work at all.

    ARCHIVED Dry Eyes

    georgie replied to jaimek's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    I wear contact lens and am starting to notice dry eyes too. I have 5 autoimmune conditions - so should I be thinking of being tested for Sjogrens ? Some days the eyes are so dry that my contacts seem to 'stick' to my eye and I can't even get them out easily.

    Eating too many carbs can raise Glucose. Eat meat and vegetables/ salads. Have you had your Thyroid checked? High cholesterol can be an indicator for low Thyroid. Make sure they do a full Thyroid panel ( not just TSH). Free T4, Free T3 and Antibodies are the important tests. Are you Insulin Resistant ? What was the blood test for fasting Insulin levels ...

    Wow - thats a lot of travelling ! Have you contacted the tour operators to ask re gluten-free food ? You will be on a train quite a bit - and need to know if it serves gluten-free food. Or this link may take you to the train company where you can ask Open Original Shared Link This link shows places to eat in Australia and NZ that are gluten-free. Most...

    Cytomel IS T3 - so doesn't need converting to show up as Free T3 on a blood test. Most HypoT people seem to feel best when FT3 sits at the top or slightly over the top of the high normal range of your blood test. 175 mg Cytomel is a LOT of T3 - is it slow release at all ? The fact that your antibodies are coming down is good but am surprised you need so...

    You have Hashimotos and you need that TSH to be 0 to suppress the Antibody attacks and damage. Your FT4 is too low - it should be midrange. And was Free T3 tested ? FT3 is the energy ...and if you don't convert T4 to T3 - then you don't get well. I wasn't sure what Eltroxin was so looked it up. Open Original Shared Link Its a T4 med. Have you tried...

    Be careful. Some of these herbal medications can raise Blood Pressure and be of variable strengths. According to the Australian Addisons Society there is no medical condition called Adrenal Fatigue although - yes - people with Adrenal Insufficiency will feel fatigued. Adrenal Insufficiency is a medical condition that must be treated by an Endo and medications...

    Happy to report that this deoderant , talc and shampoo is the best 'natural' range I have ever tried ! The deoderant is aluminium free as well as gluten-free and works brilliantly - and believe me - I have tried other 'natural' ones that have not worked at all for me.

    I was definately glutened by my old makeup. I don't wear it every day - so it was easy to track down the culprit. I still feed my horses with wheat hay without gloves but am careful to wash my hands immediately after. I threw out all normal flour so I would never be tempted to cook 'normal' food for my family again - as I was glutened by just cooking with...

    I have just received the talc, deoderant and shampoos from this range. I haven't tried them all yet but can report that the talcs and deod seem excellent ! Alena, Your family must be great to be that supportive. I will check out the shops for that mayonnaise.

    I was being glutened by my makeup and had to change. I now use Mineral Makeup from JR Minerals in Victoria and love it! Its mailorder and yes they ship overseas ... Open Original Shared Link This company does skin care and shampoo etc - all gluten-free. Open Original Shared Link I found my talc powder was glutening me but I am extra sensitive....

    I have been using a whey based protein powder that is labelled gluten-free. I was worrying about the dairy content but now I have symptoms of a Glutening ( fatigue, constipation, headache). I will go and check the label ! (edited) YES - it has Glutamine Peptide. What does this mean? Have I been Glutening myself ?
  18. georgie
    If you are dairy intolerant as well as Celiac - can you have whey based protein powders ? I have been using gluten-free Designer Whey - and as I didn't get an immediate Dairy reaction I continued. But now I have symptoms of constipation, fatigue and headache ( which are my Glutening symptoms). Could it be the powder drink?
  19. georgie
    Absolutely ! I get the feeling my family are all saying 'there she goes again' .... I am dreading this Christmas. The family are planning to have it at my brothers place and their kitchen would have huge cc issues. We will all take some food anyway - so will have to discreetly take 'my' gluten-free food and sort of mingle without making a fuss or a statement...

    Thanks ! We have that here - I think just called apple puree or apple sauce but I know the jar. I will check to see if its got Gluten on the label.
  21. georgie
    I'm from Australia. What is apple butter ?
  22. georgie
    Thats an idea...Yuk ...baking I have the cake tins already - sort of a mini slice/finger shape in silicone cookware. Any ideas on how to get the correct taste - its not quite like a sponge. Do they have almond meal in them? I will go to check what is in them and try to get a sponge cake to taste the same... Found it ! Its on the site. https...

    Does anyone know of a gluten-free sponge cake or gluten-free Ladyfinger sponge fingers you can buy? I want to make Tiramisu for Xmas ....

    Search any Addisons site. Addisons ( adrenal insufficiency ) can be autoimmune ( primary) or secondary. There are tests to determine this. There are also various degrees of adrenal insufficiency from mild to severe. And sometimes this can happen gradually over many years or happen suddenly in days or weeks. Some people suffer mild AI - not realising...

    Jessica's G/M, I am Celiac and my hubbie is Diabetic but eats the same food as me. He is fine but its my understanding that diabetics have to eat protein with every meal and eat small meals often. He is Type 2 and managing quite well that way , and eating as a Celiac. What else did Jessica eat with the bread to balance it ? Is she eating enough protein...
