    KVOGT: Why do you 'advise against meat tenderizers' and believe they can be 'hard on your stomach'?? The main ingredient papain comes from papaya and is also used in digestive enzymes which are recommended for many celiacs with digestive difficulties. Or do you believe the myth about meat tenderizers tenderizing stomach tissue?? LYNNE: Yes, Adolphs (unseasoned...

    My Enterolab test results (back in 7/04) indicated that I "have a copy of one of the main genes that predisposes to gluten sensitivity and celiac sprue, HLA-DQ3, subtype 8 (HLA-DQ8). This genotype also can predispose to microscopic colitis and other autoimmune syndromes". BURDEE

    ARCHIVED Foods You Miss

    burdee replied to Deby's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    I really don't miss many gluten containing products, since I LOVE most gluten free substitute foods. HOWEVER, I must also avoid dairy and soy. If I could tolerate soy, I could have soy milk, icecream, margarine, yogurt and even dairy free chocolate bars. Can anybody make me a gluten/dairy/soy free fudge? I did find a local bakery which makes great FROSTED...

    Hi Mel: I'm SOOOO glad to hear you got some useful info from the York tests, esp. to confirm what you already suspected. Knowledge is power. Now use all that to help yourself feel better. BURDEE

    I totally disagree that an eating disorder esp. anorexia can 'trigger' celiac disease, although many doctors will blame EDs for just about anything to scare their patients into abstaining from their ED habits. I have corresponded with MANY people struggling with 'disordered eating' habits (including starving, restrictive dieting, bingeing, purging and laxative...

    Hi Kristina: Maybe your doc confused casein intolerance with milk allergy. According to my Enterolab test results, I did have antibodies to casein just like I have antibodies to gluten. Both Enterolab, Ron Hogan in "Dangerous Grains" and all the parents of autistic spectrum children on the www.gfcfdiet.com website may disagree that casein intolerance...

    I agree about using digestive enzymes and probiotics. However, watch out for malt diastase (barley source) in enzymes. I took enzymes recommended by a naturopath for almost 18 months, believing they helped my celiac disease related indigestion, before I noticed that gluten ingredient. Now that I have eliminated that last gluten source AND found a safe...

    Molly: I would agree that undiagnosed gluten intolerance INFLUENCES lots of 'disordered eating' HABITS which are often labeled 'eating disorders'. That term is similar to irritable bowel disorder which only describes symptoms. Attaching the ED label to someone's behaviors does little to help them change those behaviors, because it focusses on the PROBLEM...

    Hi Ruth: My GFCFDIET product guide lists Jones' sausages as gluten and casein free. You can order that product guide through their website www.gfcfdiet.com. BURDEE

    Isabella: Lactose. which is milk SUGAR. is just one component of dairy. Many celiacs whose intestines react by forming antibodies to gluten also react by forming antibodies to CASEIN or milk protein. Dairy also includes whey and rennet components. Some celiacs can tolerate casein but not lactose. Others can't tolerate any components of cow's milk. Goat...

    Del: An easy way to determine if you are casein (milk protein) or lactose (milk sugar) intolerant is to use 'lactaid' chewable tablets before consuming any dairy or use "Lactose free milks". If those lactaid supplements prevent your 'dairy symptoms, then you just have lactose intolerance. If not, you problably have casein intolerance. My casein intolerance...

    I agree that gluten intolerance symptoms mask other intolerances. After I eliminated gluten, I found I was also intolerant to dairy (verified by Enterolab antibody test) and soy (same symptoms as dairy). I suspect that the longer we have had undiagnosed celiac disease (gluten intolerance) the more likely we will develop sensitivities to other proteins ...

    Hi Ruth: I have also experienced daily multiple stools, esp. after a gluten/dairy/soy/sorbitol contamination. I suspect my bowels are just cramping (I sure FEEL the cramps) after celiac disease reactions which creates spasmodic multiple stools rather than one smooth 1X daily movement. After I recover from my latest contamination, I eventually return to...

    Hey celiac3270: WOW!! I guess I started something by mentioning Amaranth O's. I liked the strawberry flavored ones, but never really liked Cheerios. I thought Amaranth O's were better. But then I loaded them with fresh strawberries. My husband ate the peach flavored ones with peaches. Maybe try the original flavored ones with bananas. I basically...

    Hi celiac3270: Back before I learned I couldn't have dairy or soy (milk), I found some great amaranth based cereals shaped like cheerios which also stayed crispy in milk similar to cheerios. I ordered those thru www.nuworldfoods.com The amaranth cereals were high in protein and came in original, strawberry and peach flavors. I enjoyed the strawberry...

    Since too much magnesium can cause diarrhea, that's precisely why it's used in 'Milk of Magnesia'. However that same magnesium is available with a good magnesium supplement. I read several years ago in 'natural cures' book that magesium and vitamin C are often prescribed in European countries for constipation. I've been using those 2 supplements for regularity...

    Hi ADevoto: Enterolab usually adds an interpretation of test results with their lab test results email. What did they say about the genetic results? If you have questions, write to Dr. Fine at E-lab. He WILL answer your email promptly. BURDEE

    I took "Udo's Choice" digestive plant enzyme blend for over a year continuing almost 7 months after going gluten free UNTIL I noticed that 'barley malt extract' was listed under 'other' ingredients. I'm so glad I eliminated one more source of gluten contamination. I've been mostly gluten/dairy/soy free for several months, so my digestion is fine now...

    I tried Remeron when it first came out to help with SAD (during gloomy Seattle winters). I loved the antihistamine side effect but couldn't take constant sleepiness from that drug. When I told my doc "not Remeron", he told me that he'd read studies about liver damage side effects. Of course the manufacturers will discount any of those side effects as ...

    Richard: Was that a soapbox invitation?? For 2 years I facilitated a ThinWithin group at my church which taught people to obey their body cues of hunger and satisfaction, as well as consider how various foods affected their bodies. They could eat anything they wanted when they were truly, physically hungry but must stop eating when they ate just...

    I would highly recommend the Enterolab stool tests which also tests milk sensitivity (casein antibodies) even AFTER you have gone gluten-free for several months. From what I understand, blood tests can only detect gluten antibodies which have LEAKED from the small intestines into the blood stream. So those tests require that you've been sick with celiac...

    It's easier to carry little chewable lactaid pills than milk or butter to someone's place, out of town, etc. They do help prevent lactose intolerance reactions. However casein/soy intolerance is another story ... I sure miss ice cream, cheese and butter. BURDEE

    Lillie: My husband is trying the Ener-G bread sampler pack. He hates the white rice, brown rice breads and anything with rice flour as the first ingredient. He did like the tapioca bread, though. I won't touch anything that looks like Wonderbread, so I prefer the Food For Life Rice Pecan or Ener-G's dark Harvest bread. The sampler pack might be a good way...
