slcceliac

Hey! I have been body building for the past 6 months and I've been diagnosed celiac for past 3 months. In the past few months, after going gluten free, I've managed to gain 14 lbs (~6.5 kg). The key is to increase your calorie intake, increase your protein intake (minimum 100 grams/day if you are trying to build muscle). Also, you should be eating every...

When in doubt, do without. I donated my curry dish to nonceliacs and they loved it! I guess I better buy some spices where the ingridients are clearly listed.

As I was eating my curry dish and reading "Gluten Free Food Guide for Celiac Patients", I read that curry powder is on the "not allowed" list!!! The curry dish I made was delicious, and I used lots of curry powder. The brand I used is imported from India (Flower Brand, Curry Powder - Hot). When I looked at the ingridients, it listed: coriander, turmeric...

I stopped drinking Red Bull as soon as I suspected it was causing problems... Right now I'm just playing scientist by trying to notice patterns. I've had cramps, D, and many other symptoms for years, so in my mind, that was "the norm". Gfp, thanks for the comments, it helps putting things into perspective... I think my problem is unintentional CC, as...

I do consume milk, but it's lactose free milk. Other than that, I have no idea what's causing my celiac symptoms. I'm starting to look for patterns, and so far the only food/dring that seems to bother me is red bull, which I drink on almost daily basis?!?! It's good to know that other people are going through the same experience. I would love to hear...

I stick to tequilla, rum, wine and gluten-free beer. Vodka does not sit well with me (prolly non gluten related). When I hang out at the bar, I am also slightly concerned about CC ( All of the used glasses and steins are washed in the same soapy water ). What drinks/mixers are off limits, other than obviously most beers. I have not heard of any mixed...

I am a new Celiac and I prefer SHG over CC! Job well done!

I was diagnosed with celiac disease this year in Feb. and I've been gluten-free since then. Occasionally (once or twice a week) I will have frequent bowel movements (not quiet D), several during a course of day (same symptoms I had before going gluten-free), and stomach cramps. My stool is also a bit oily, so I'm assuming that the fats in my diet are...

Sweetfudge, what are the benefits of colon hydrotherapy??? I was diagnosed in Feb, and I still have GI symptoms? Does hydrotherapy help with them??? Can you give me the contact info of the person that does this in Utah (I'm in SLC). Thanks.

Coltrane, are you a diagnosed celiac? I was in the same boat, and like I said, it was impossible for me to get past 180lbs. If you do have celiac and are on gluten free diet, your villi (which are finger like projections in your small intestine - their function is to absorb nutrients and provide some enzymes for digestion) will start regenerating and...

Let's talk about restaurants in Salt Lake area, both celiac friendly and unfriendly... THE GOOD: Rodizio's Grill - Excellent service, gluten-free menu available. Manager even approched me and told me that I can't have pork (it was on gluten-free menu) because they added an ingridient that had gluten in it. Food was delicious - carnivore's heaven. Google...

I disagree.

All the comments that have been posted so far have been very helpful.... When my friends and I eat at a buffet, it's usually the pricier ones on the strip that we go to. So maybe those have less cross-contamination issues... So far I've decided to bring lots of protein bars (that I haven't found yet - opinion on Odyssey, anyone? They are gluten-free,...

What about roast beef, turkey and ham? Are they gluten free most of the time??? I know turkey basting is a potential problem, but I have no idea how they prepare meat. As long as I can have some protein, I should be fine.

Like a lot of celiacs, I've always been skinny and it's been impossible for me to get my weight above 180 lbs (I'm 25 yo and 6'3"). After being on gluten free diet for almost two months, and lifting weights for 4 months, I finally gained 11 lbs of muscle. I discovered an excellent protein powder that I mix with lactose free milk. It's Essential Natural...
