So what's the deal with casein? I've read that its molecular structure is somewhat similar to that of gluten. How many people on this board are casein intolerant? Also, how common is lectin intolerance? I've read a little about it and am wondering if people who are gluten intolerant may also have varying degrees of lectin intolerances.

Quite honestly, this is the story of my life...mostly. Back in the U.S., though.

ARCHIVED How Do You Know If You Are Healing?
Vykt0r replied to goldyjlox's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I would imagine you'd also have less of an appetite considering the fact that celiac causes malaborption and therefore constant hunger in a lot of people. -
ARCHIVED How Fast Can A Reaction Occur After Consuming Gluten?
Vykt0r replied to lilgreen's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
My mouth gets irritated after about half an hour. After that, I get a series of GI symptoms. -
Yeah, I glutened myself too just a few hours ago. I feel like breaking something.

I just throw raw olive oil on top of my already served rice. I eat it like tomato sauce(in moderation of course).
-
Thank you for your suggestions -- I'll take them into consideration. You're absolutely right about the fact that I don't have to take care of anyone and how that makes life easier. I won't know what it's like until it's my turn to experience it.

If you're not allergic, try throwing some peanuts in the salad. Good stuff.
-
Hahahahah cool .
-
Throw some olive oil in your rice, then. It'll taste great!

Legumes: chick peas(garbanzos), kidney beans, lentils, etc.... They're easy to prepare -- just eat them the way you would rice: whole and boiled along with spices and salt. Be sure to soak them overnight and rinse them well before cooking if you buy them dry. If you have no allergies to legumes(especially lentils), they can become your staple. Vegetables...

Is a salad that hard to make, though? I mean...after all, vegetables are naturally gluten free. So are all tubers, lots of grains and pseudo cereals(quinoa, rice, corn), all legumes, and all meats. I personally don't bake. Most of the food I eat I boil myself. I dunno, I find that my own food tastes better than junk food, but that's me, so I won't impose...

Can you eat olive oil?

Does anyone here have rice as their staple? I'm not talking about rice in breads or baked goods. I'm talking about eating plain boiled rice every day the way we(or at least I) used to eat bread. I've noticed that it's not done that much in America and am wondering if that's the reason so many people find it hard to cut wheat products out of their diet...

See what I mean, everybody? What happens when a person smokes heavily for 30 years? They too are pretty sick, right? A whole series of illnesses stem from smoking, which means that, from a general point of view, the smoke itself is a poison(because it contains poisons). So we're all smoke-intolerant. Does that mean we're diseased? Does that mean that...
-
So what's abnormal about us? The fact that we can't consume something than humans don't necessarily have to consume and only started doing so by chance? What's the norm, really? I'm not Japanese. If I go to Japan, am I diseased because I can't genetically have their facial features? Over there, that's the norm. Just because a certain substance hurts...
-
Yes, but the specifics don't matter to the average person. What matters is the fact that the person gets sick by consuming this substance and the only way to prevent being ill is by NOT consuming it. When you talk about drug use, you don't ever make any reference to the effects the drug has on our body on a molecular level. We only talk about what we feel...

Easy. Toast some raw white rice, cook it and let it cool. Then you roll it in your hand until it breaks up into tiny balls. I believe this is how couscous is made(but obviously with wheat).
-
It seems that whenever I get glutened, these hard bumps appear on my head. I'm not 100% sure but I believe it ONLY happens when I've been exposed to some form of gluten. I ususally get 4-6 at a time and take days to go away. Also, they're quite large. I don't think they're pimples. Does this happen to any of you guys?
-
I happen to have a bad thyroid due to this. It's not life threatening but suddenly being dependent on pills at 18 is not pleasant. I realize other people have much worse health than I do but it's a real shock when it happens all of the sudden. Not going to complain, though. Also, in reference to the plant poison thing, my point was that I tend to...
-
See my last post on this thread(other than this one).

What kind of reactions do you guys get when you get only slightly glutened? Like, for example, when you accidently eat something that has some gluten based additive.

Nah. It's over because it turned into an argument. Everyone is right.
