Latest Celiac Disease News & Research:

    The inheritance is different. Girls tend to get the genes predisposing them to gluten intolerance and celiac, if something goes awry. Males tend to get more autism. All of these auto immune diseases, diabetes, gluten intolerance, celiac, autism, are related, researchers are finding more and more links. I don't know if the researchers are officially...

    Agriculture turned humans from hunter gatherer nomads into farmers who could have villages and cities and settled civilizations. You are making the mistake of thinking that just because some people cannot eat a certain food, then maybe all people would be better off eating the same way. I see this a lot with vegetarians and vegans who are convinced that...

    The recipe zaar one bowl chocolate cake is really good. It's an old recipe that goes by a lot of different names, the Amish call it "whacky cake" and it was in the old "I hate to cook" book. It converts easily just by using a gluten free flour mix with some xanthan gum. As the notes say, with some flours you can cut down the xanthan gum and it still doesn...

    How we were supposed to figure this out before the internet made research possible without living next to a university or medical library, I have no idea. Even the otherwise good osteopath who correctly diagnosed me with seronegative auto immune type arthritis at a "too young" age, and treated all my continued kidney infections, missed the cause other...

    I tell them (pharmacies) that I am ALLERGIC to wheat along with the other allergies I have, and if I had some joker try to tell me that they couldn't bother to check, then I would say sorry, I'm not risking my life here just to have you make a bigger profit. I don't know if by law it's in all states, but in this state they must offer you a pharmaceutical...

    People who are gluten intolerant frequently, but not always, have secondary intolerances. The most common ones are to soy and to lactose, the milk sugar. Some people after they are healed up can re introduce dairy if it is lactose free or nearly so, such as dairy from hard aged cheeses or properly processed yogurt. You can't use cast iron unless it...

    It's a real bleeping wasteland up here. If you have DH, and a diagnosis of DH, you've got Celiac. Don't worry about any of the dishonest, greedy doctors wanting to cheat you out of more positive test results. (there is so much technical information online available about diagnosing this disease, at this point any doctor you run across who does it the...

    My husband eats gluten free at home. Much healthier diet, very little processed food, lots of fruits, vegetables, salads, nuts, eggs, fish, meats, etc. He eats gluten free cereals for breakfast. I make small quantities of gluten free, fresh breads if we need any, but most carbohydrate needs can be handled by potatoes, fresh corn or corn tortillas, rice...

    Perhaps experimenting with the gluten free flour mixes you are using would make a difference, as the substitutes we use all react differently than wheat flour, usually taking a bit longer at a lower temperature to bake. Sounds like too high a temperature, to me. Underbaking is the problem we oven or microwave bakers usually trend towards. ...

    You have to stay on the diet and not cheat if you want the neuro symptoms to go away. I had many neurological symptoms for years which doctors always said indicated I probably had MS, but then the tests would come back negative and they would tell me it was either due to nerve impingement in my C spine from arthritis, or that I was a head case. To...

    Craving sweets is a symptom of the disease caused by malnutrition and not eating a balanced diet. Everybody is busy, so that's no excuse. Start taking a gluten free multivitamin, a B complex, and a calcium supplement. Eat more vegetables and good fats such as nuts, avocados, coconut milk, olive oil. And your'e going to have to find a place to...

    Yes, ignore the food they have and bring your own. Go to a health food store and get some frozen gluten free treats, or mail order, and keep a stash in your freezer for these occasions, or learn to bake. The "bun in a cup" recipe can be adapted to cakes, or brownies, and it takes a minute and a half in the microwave to bake. You can make up zip lock...

    I wouldn't touch it. There is no reason to put a product deliberately derived from wheat into any food or medication products I consume, no matter what assurances I was given that it was supposedly "safe." I have read of way too many anecdotes of people getting sick from these products. It's already a minefield just trying to deal with the cross...

    ARCHIVED I Want Them To Be Wrong!

    Takala replied to MartialArtist's topic in Doctors

    ___________________________ There are so many "calming" supplements on the market for "nervous" horses, when the real problem is that they shouldn't eat that wheat garbage in the first place, it's ridiculous. Many vitamin and mineral supplements for horses, as well as the new pelletized foods, contain wheat also, now- you really have to read the labels...

    I think a lot of us died at an earlier age of other things until the past 100 years or so before the side effects from the celiac or gluten intolerance autoimmunity got to us. With the invention of refrigeration, antibiotics, modern clean water and hygiene, and women being able to survive childbirth, a lot of things changed, like a lot of people survived...

    You may want to test out your recipes in a oven or microwave first to see if you like the gluten flour mixtures you're using. Bun in a bowl- Small batches can be made with one egg and about a half cup to 3/4 cup of gluten free flour mixes, a half teasp to one teasp. of cider vinegar, and a quarter teaspoon of baking soda in the microwave, in a bowl...

    Hogwash. And I've read almost the same thing recently, so it's going round the net. Spelt is a form of primitive wheat, more used in Europe, that has lower protein than our modern breadmaking wheat, which has been bred to have a lot. The more protein, the stickier the dough. That's probably what the person who started this dumb rumor is refering to...

    Good grief. Nice job of bean gleaning and getting the manufacturer to notice.

    With those gluten free flours, you may need to add 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of xanthan gum to the flour mix to replace the stickiness of the missing gluten. Pamela's and some other commercial gluten free flour mixes already have gum mixture added, check the labels. Some gluten-free flours, when used with a lot of egg and/or cheese, depending on how they are...

    _______________ Welcome to the United States of Confusion. No, they are not hearing you. Don't worry, they don't hear us natives, either. I eat out at a pizza place with a genuine gluten free pizza option sometimes, and have had good luck there. I talked to the owner a few times, and while he and his cooks could make a good gluten free...

    I tried to call the FDA. One section didn't know about this, but transferred me to another area regarding food safety which has such a long wait time I finally gave up. I looked at the FDA site and didn't see it, but I did not do a really extensive search. This is all over the internet. Since the synovate.net site goes to a globalopinionpanels.com website...

    Lundberg. I refer to them as sanity savers. They are safe for both me and the dogs with allergies. Even my husband eats them. Broken up in little pieces, they make crackers to go with cheese. Whole, with peanut butter or guacamole, refried beans, even tomato sauce and cheese. Crumbled, they make gluten free RICE CRISPED CEREAL, to go...

    I ate a lot of the cinnamon flavored ones for New Year's Eve and reacted poorly to them. And before you go, oh, how do you know ? I know, because I ate most of the bag that evening, and nothing else weird or different at all that day. And I had club soda/tonic water with a lime twist that evening. Sorry to be so boring! The ingredients are Stone...
