    ARCHIVED Bloating

    hathor replied to hafadai43's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Here's an article: Open Original Shared Link I personally bloat worse with casein than with gluten. Egg is even worse. I may also bloat up if I have more than a minimal amount of fat. Recently I got a little crazy with some flavored PBs I found (dark chocolate, cinnamon raisin, & spicy). I really suffered. If it is casein that is your problem...

    Thanks for the information. I'm definitely interested in this hotel. Who knows -- maybe different food options will be available in two years. I shouldn't worry about that now. The more important thing is finding stuff to eat once I'm there and it looks like this hotel has that covered quite well. Did you eat at any other restaurants in the area...

    This was wheat-free soy sauce, right?

    You've gotten some good advice. All I can add is -- dark chocolate, hon! Come over to the good stuff -- you won't want your chocolate adulterated with dairy ever again In addition to the straight stuff, I've seen recipes & mixes for chocolatey delights that are also dairy free. Despair not

    He has made a great deal of progress. I've heard people say that it can take two years to heal. I don't have a feel for how long it takes numbers to get down completely. Perhaps someone can tell you that it CAN take longer than he's been gluten-free? If it can take longer, then he might not be getting gluten somewhere. Other things -- oats? toaster...

    You are more than welcome I think I'm going to try the meatloaf recipe tonight. I don't know if I have precisely the right amoung of lentils, so I may need to experiment a bit (extra rice, or perhaps adding a bit of buckwheat to make up the difference). I sprained my ankle a little over a week ago and so I'm trying to come up with meals based on...

    An allergist can find allergies, but not food intolerances (different immune responses). I found my intolerances through Enterolab (but they only test for a few things). Another poster mentioned a different lab. There are places that test blood to find sensitivities. I have heard people here mention that they are sensitive to things that don't...

    I've been in Italy before, but never made it to Venice. And I haven't been gluten-free there before. I do remember that being vegan wasn't a problem, since places usually had a main course veggie platter. I've yet to see that in any "Italian" restaurant in the US. I'm already looking at hotels. Probably if I do all this planning my husband will just...

    Many vegetarian or vegan cookbooks & sites will have many recipes that are naturally gluten-free or can be made that way. Marla's site has some wonderful recipes, for instance. The regular cookbooks I use the most are "The Vegetarian 5-Ingredient Gourmet" and McDougall's Quick & Easy Cookbook. (Do you see a common theme ) A new one that I just...

    Interesting. I thought I was just so much a klutz that I don't always remember banging into things. I'll look into getting more Vitamin K. I've read that Vitamin C helps also. I have some whopping bruises now. But for these I DO remember being a klutz. How long DOES it take for a sprained ankle to heal? You would think I would remember by now

    Here's a link to an article about nutrition that you may find helpful: Open Original Shared Link Be sure that any supplements you take are free of gluten & anything else you are sensitive to. Unlike food, allergens don't have to be listed.
  12. hathor
    I'll have to try this. Everything I've made from Marla's site has been excellent.

    Oh, this looks great. Are you vegetarian? If so, did you find you had a problem with doing that & being gluten-free, also? Looking at what menus that hotel has posted, it doesn't seem like there is that much. But if they work with you, fantastic! I'm saving a link to your post. My plan is to go to Venice for my 25th wedding anniversary in two...

    Hi, mesmorize ... I see you are limiting soy. Do you react to it? If so, do your offending vitamins SAY they are soy free? Many vitamins do contain soy and may not list this in the ingredients. I was having a reaction to a new supplement & I emailed the company. Sure enough, soy.

    From what I can tell they all pretty much have gluten-free pasta. But sometimes they run out apparently ... so ask first. I've been to two Maggiano's in the DC area & both accommodated me. The chefs came out & we worked out what I could have. I'm vegetarian & can't have dairy, so that cuts out quite a bit. Both times the chefs came up with...

    I was wondering that myself.

    There's a doctor with a long name beginning with H that studies neurological problems among the gluten intolerant. He has found that 80% have the usual "celiac genes," and 20% have DQ1. I thought I had this study bookmarked, but apparently not

    Thanks everyone. Maybe I will try a little bit of buffalo mozzarella next time I see it ... if I have the time to deal with any adverse reaction. But I probably shouldn't go out of my way to find the stuff. Nice thing about goat's cheese is that a little goes a long way in flavoring things. A couple times I've made gluten-free pasta, with some asparagus...

    I may be missing something, but I just spent a great deal of time skimming through your posts. I saw one reference to a study I had previously seen. It says that the stool tests gave positive results for folks who weren't officially celiac. Well, that really begs the question doesn't it? Dr. Fine doesn't claim that any of his tests diagnose celiac disease...

    Thank you, thank you. This gives me hope! For my last vacation (to Europe, so there WERE meals ), I found I had to decide between vegetarian & gluten-free. I went with vegetarian & just ate extra veggie stuff I could have from my husband's & daughter's meals. I figured that with strict vegetarian (vegan) there would be something I could...

    What data is this & where is it available? I'm not trying to be argumentative ... I would be interested in looking at it. I didn't have the Enterolab testing until I had a positive response to the diet. Doing the test was more a matter of getting support for sticking to the diet in light of skeptical family members. I know my dear hubby thought my...

    No, the 1% figure for celiacs is based on a study of blood donors (I believe it was) that were screened for celiac. There is no where NEAR that many people generally in this country who have actually been diagnosed. The figure I've always heard is that 97% are NOT diagnosed. One example: "Roughly one out of every 133 Americans has celiac disease, but...

    I know I can handle goat's & sheep milk cheese (at least small quantities of them ... a little fortunately goes a long way). I've seen other casein-intolerants say the same thing. (Naturally, reactions are individual.) I haven't seen anyone mention buffalo milk cheese, though. Anyone have any experience with this or have read something on the...

    I know, it really stinks having to be a detective sometimes ... You may have to keep a food diary. There may be some product you regularly use that is cross-contaminated. Are you eating oats perchance? Or you may have another food intolerance. Folks have been pretty thorough already. A couple other ideas ... have you replaced any sponges, brushes...
  25. hathor
    Yes Honestly, don't we have enough of these threads that folks begin to realize the possibility? There are lots of diseases out there; no one can be expert on all of them. But he should have done a little research before he put you to the trouble of an endoscopy. Now he may actually know that the test is meaningless for you ... but you aren...
