    I have a newfound interest in yoga - it's so peaceful and restorative. I also love swimming, board games, and wine with dinner. <br /><br />

About Me

I am 23 years old and have just graduated from a dietetic internship. I was unofficially diagnosed with Celiac Disease last year post-surgery and have since discovered that food sensitivities and allergies of any kind are a weakness in the dietetics community. It is my goal to help change this.

I am a practicing dietitian. If anyone would like my professional or personal recommendations on resources, food, or just have general questions I am happy to give advice. However, it should be noted there are many on this board with more practical gluten/gluten-free experience than myself.

    Happy birthday!

    Thanks again for the input, it's good to know other Celiacs are using it. I do tolerate soy, contrary to popular belief on this forum. I'm curious as to the ppm in the soy sauce now... I suppose this has become my pet project for a few days. Anyone else have experience with it?

    I agree that quality vitamins (especially for Celiacs) and wholesome foods make a big difference in how one's body works. As for the Mangosteen - it's 30 calories in 1 oz - which means the D you get from it is probably osmotic. Coke has 11 calories per oz, for some comparison. Antioxidants are a great thing, but remember companies like these that...

    I appreciate the advice and thought. I'm a dietitian and I keep a food record, every day, of exactly what I eat (anal I know). But it comes in handy in times like these. I tolerate wheat-free tamari (had some about a week ago in fact) without issues at all. Soy-based and corn-based products are the staples of my diet. Nothing I ate that...

    I wouldn't go on a Casein-free diet until you have given the gluten-free diet a solid 3 months. It takes your intestines that long to completely heal. Lactose might be something to consider, though, only if you are noticing difficulty digesting dairy products. This may or may not resolve once your intestines are healed. I agree it could be contamination...

    The labeling laws for listing wheat on the food label are mandated by the U.S. FDA. In New Zealand, different rules may apply. I have never heard of issues with vanilla extract.

    Dextrose is a type of sugar and is not a gluten-containing ingredient. Dextrins and maltodextrins used to be of concern, but they are typically corn-based now, especially when manufactured in the U.S. Natural flavorings, as well as most other ingredients, should be safe if the label does not claim wheat ingredients - this is mandated by law. It might...

    Just made a Thai Pork Noodle Bowl with our "cool new find" the great value soy sauce. This is the worst reaction I've had in a while. I eat soy ALL the time, so I can vouch, at least for me, that it is not that. Perhaps we should contact Great Value.... I'm very disappointed as I have never had trouble with GV brand before either --- although they...

    I concur with the other responses. I bought a giant economy bottle before I was diagnosed (last summer) and was still using it. Well, I had this nausea that just wouldn't quit for a few months. I went on a tear through my bathroom and found 9 products that had oat or wheat. Once I got rid of those I felt better in a few days. Based on the articles...

    Just a note - Ferrous Sulfate is the most easily absorbed form of iron. Best of luck!!!

    I just read an article in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association that discussed the shortcomings of two types of "highly sensitive" R5 ELISA assays. I'll provide more detailed info should anyone want it, but for those who are very sensitive to gluten, I would completely avoid anything that is derived from a gluten ingredient and rendered gluten...

    You might think about taking a multivitamin for women. There are some vitamins that are scarce to get in a diet outside of grains. Glad you are feeing better!
  13. Rya
    I remember hearing about that!! Any news on when and where?
  14. Rya
    Lol - gfp you sure go on some tears! I think richard might have been referring to the cheese bought in grocery stores, not that found in restaurants. Just a guess, though. Things may be slightly different in Hawaii than I'm used to in Texas. I know the labeling laws are the same, but manufacturers may differ. Though they may not. Something you...

    That's by far the most terrible gluten experience.......... Gosh I'm sorry! The closest I've come is kissing someone that drank beer - got a little sick from it. The stuff is potent. Hope you feel better soon!
