    They don't always. Its more like you need to make sure its 100% pure beef. And make sure there is no cc too!

    YoloGx replied to Oriana's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Its possible there was cross contamination, but then again a lot of people with celiac initially can't digest beans very well--except for green ones that is. I still can't eat several kinds of them very often. My ex can't handle them hardly if at all. And yes its true, I find if I have potatoes instead of rice with soaked, slow cooked beans (really a safer...

    I hear black-strap molasses is good too for iron if you can tolerate it. Raisins are another good source of iron too. If you eat beef just make sure it isn't hamburger levened with gluten. Also see how your body reacts. Some can have it frequently, others not.

    Yes actually yogurt or other soured milks is often part of it for North Europeans and some other peoples. Nuts and seeds are too, especially if sprouted over night. For myself I just have sunflower and pumpkin seeds. Am allergic to most of the rest. However the sprouting is supposed to make them more digestible with a lot more enzymes. I'll check out...

    Hope you get well soon too! My "virus" turned out to be a bacterial infection. It was one of those search and destroy things, first in the lungs, then sinuses, back to my lungs (it kept coming back) then finally settled in my bladder. Am now starting to take antibiotics, the burning was too much and wouldn't go away after I thought had knocked it out with...

    Those sound like great ideas, only thing I could add is that its wise to be careful of eating all that fish what with mercury etc. Plus eating a lot of canned food in tins can add excess metal as well. I have found buying frozen fish in places like Trader Joe's however is very affordable. Just add a little water when you bake them and cover the container...

    What a great idea! However there are no such restaurants listed in the entire state of California! This must be some kind of outpost, eh? Nevertheless I will do my bit to see if there is anything around here or not.

    I agree. However most people would lose weight on the paleo diet. I think its possible Ali that you are allergic to something that is putting "weight" on you (I have had that happen!) by way of edema. Exercise will help take this down but not like avoiding the food(s). Its also possible you are still eating too many carbs even though you have switched to...

    You are probably right. However something has got to change. Somehow there needs to be reliable airport food for celiacs etc. if they won't allow us to bring our own food--especially for long journeys like across country or to Europe etc. Maybe the test can be used to monitor gluten free restaurants from time to time to see if the standard is safe....

    Well mostly I don't get explosive D and when I do its a delayed effect. After kissing my ex boyfriend I would get a horrific headache and achy joints etc. for the next two days. Then this progressed from exposed to trace cc gluten at a birthday party. I got the flu which became bronchitis. Then ai wnet to a poetry reading and had tea afterwards at a cafe...

    I am glad for you to have such a supportive family. That is such a blessing! Mine are much more difficult although I do have one brother who is semi supportive and a sister who is greatful to be clued into the diet. The deal is almost everyone in my family has signs of this celiac. Makes them a bunch of cranks! No offense but I was that way too. It degrades...

    I agree, somehow it seems either you get out of that house or find a different place in it to eat. Is it possible to set up a mini refrigerator and hot plate etc. in your bedroom? If not it seems you should move out for medical reasons. You have nothing if you don't have your health. Its kind of a bottom line thing. Its so great you have a simpatico boyfriend...

    So OK you are on a plane and they won't let you bring your own food. Maybe this would be a good time to test what they are about to give you? Either that or starve? Or maybe we will start having to get a doctors prescription so we can bring food in from outside the airport? Yolo

    I was just reading advice to go out on other kinds of dates. Pack a picnic to eat with each other and get creative, do different things--go to the art museum or local gallery to see the new exhibit, go to a play or music performance, go to the zoo or local arboretum, go hiking etc. etc. Just to protect myself from cross contamination I let the guy know...

    My mom seems to have a reaction later on the same day--along with depression and mental confusion. Often for me my reaction is delayed by 24 hours, why I don't know. I have forgotten how long it took the DH to go away however it took me 3 months before my nails hardened etc. after becoming gluten free--minus of course the hidden glutens I didn't know about...

    My hope is that things like this will become less pricey in the near future. It could be useful if somehow you had no other choice and it was important you eat at such and such event. Nevertheless I would still bring my own food along in case it didn't pass muster. Yolo

    Hi Lisa, Its been quite a while since I had my fillings replaced so I have forgotten what it cost. I did some trades on a few of them too since I am an artist. However my understanding is that the cost isn't too bad. You might want to see if you can get Blue Cross Dental Insurance. Call around your area and find out the usual cost. I would guess something...

    I sympathize with your situation. It just isn't easy giving things up. I think in part this is why so many people who are sensitive to gluten just choose to ignore their complaints. I think this is also why my mother put me back on gluten when I was four years old even though I had previously been hospitalized and almost died from being introduced to grains...

    the other difficult thing with eating at friends and relatives and restaurants is that they usually have been cooking with utensils exposed to gluten, not to speak of pots and pans and counters... The best way to deal with this is to bring your own no matter what the host says. Tell them its a medical problem and you can't compromise whether they would be...

    I have found adding cooked quinoa and some sorghum flour to my breads and pancakes gives them a similar texture to oats. Adding a little Xanthum gum also helps give the breads etc. a more spongy gluten like texture. I too can't eat oats. Was doing so a few years ago and it got so bad I was starting to get the shakes when standing up. Oats always made...

    Hi Lisa, Well you know it is the malabsorption of minerals that makes your teeth soft. It often goes with the celiac. I assume you are taking vitamin D (I like cod liver oil the best)? and a good calcium supplement? And lots of minerals I hope? Plus enzymes? If the calcium still isn't working, I suggest you try E-Zorb. It seems to work best for...

    Hi Ali, What you say about the tribes people I think is relevant. I need not to think of myself as deprived. I have often done without anything sweet at all and feel better for it usually. I think my celiac condition wouldn't be a problem at all if I lived primitively. Nevertheless these days I have been cooking up a banana or apple to put with my quinoa...
  23. YoloGx
    Yeah. Even for people who don't have traditional celiac eating gluten often causes degenerative diseases. Often people will become gluten intolerant whether they officially have celiac or not. Its good you are becoming more aware. Again I suggest more of a paleo diet. Especially for your uncle when he is well enough to eat!

    Hi Patti, It definitely also could be the filling adding to your difficulties. Amalgams have mercury in them and are very dangerous for the immune system. Just having 3 such fillings can reduce one's immune system by a third according to studies done in Germany. I suggest you have it removed and replaced if at all possible. You might need to take some...

    It's also possible you are having yeast/fungal problems due to the sugar etc. even if it isn't much it could create havoc. I agree though, why Fritos? Its better to eat whole foods I have found, and not fried anything. I personally try to stay with the Paleo diet of some meat, lots of vegetables and some fruit--including roots and squash for carbs. For...
