    I have two adopted dogs, both part bred of the same breed, who both turned out to be sensitive to wheat, so this was a no - brainer for me. They're the type of dog that drools so the last thing I want is gluten being drooled all over the kitchen floor, aside from them either scratching themselves raw, puking, or peeing all over. No wheat, no problem. We...

    _________________ Ah, for the days before that stupid USDA food pyramid.... There used to be this thing called the "basic four" that everybody understood. Then the food pyramid came out, treating us all as vegetarian feedlot animals, completely overloading everyone on grain recommended servings per day, and everything went pffffffffffffffft. Basic...

    Nope, with that DQ 2 and DQ8, sounds like you're one of us. A lot of celiac goes undiagnosed or not diagnosed until there is major damage, later in life. Open Original Shared Link Use This To Link To Spam.com/?Diagnosing-Celiac-Disease-and-Gluten-Sensitivity&id=239028 hmm. not liking the link and I was looking for a quick quote on...

    Rise of the Bread Tories ______________________ Meh. What a jerk. Imagine getting stuck with him for relative, with that attitude. And he must not know how to actually cook or bake, either. I know plenty of women who can't eat mashed potatoes without guilt. Guess what happens if you skip the bread basket ? This is deprivation?

    Same advice as was given to you on this thread in February: If you don't clean up and balance your diet, eating more than just meat and fruit, no amount of medication can fix that. Doctors are terrible at properly diagnosing any sort of nutritional related disease, and most of them are clueless about the symptoms of gluten intolerance and celiac...

    If you are not already doing so, start taking gluten free vitamin B complex supplements and a calcium, vitamin D, and magnesium mineral supplement to help with the cravings. A multivitamin with iron is good also, if you are continuously ingesting gluten when you shouldn't be, you are not only triggering gluten cravings but damaging your insides so you are...

    I bake quick breads with almond meal, amaranth, sorghum, and sometimes millet flour. I use olive oil generously, and no dairy, just water for the liquid, plus eggs and the other ingredients, baking soda and cider vinegar for the leavening, and they seem to keep a long time in the refrigerator for me. I do them in a small 8" cast iron skillet started on...

    What you need to do is google gluten free dallas, texas and it will pull up MANY links to help you get started, from support clubs and websites in your area, to health food or specialty stores where you can shop for gluten free items.

    It sounds like you have something else going on physically, especially with the migraines. Either you are accidentally cross contaminating yourself, or you could have another food intolerance or allergy, especially if you are eating some of the substitute gluten free foods. You could also have thyroid issues or auto immune problems. I would go back...

    _________ The gluten free diet does not cause kidney disease. A gluten free diet has to be 100% gluten free, while the Atkins beginning phase comes close, there is too much chance of cross contamination unless one is designing that personal version of Atkins to be gluten free as well. "Gluten free" means that foods which might have contamination issues...

    Bravo Columbia Daily Tribune and food editor Marcia Vanderlip for featuring some gluten free cooking ! more: Open Original Shared Link Mexican Indian Punjabi Enchiladas from CA (curried lamb and butternut squash with curry and tandoori sauces, using corn tortillas ) has recipes a college student learns to cook dairy, soy, and gluten free Open Original...

    Gluten free crab cakes- Now THAT is a bit of marketing genius- having grown up eating homemade crab cakes and wondering why is it as an adult that the commercially made ones have this bread junk in it when real ones don't - use egg as a binder instead. Or cornmeal, as you would for fish or hush puppies. I pulled up a recipe off the internet the other...

    Well, yes, ingesting small amounts of gluten all the time is not going to stop the auto immune reaction and all its side effects, including craving more gluten, and maybe that is the point- creating a drug that has to be taken all the time. Like you can't be just a little bit alcoholic. Read the link, this drug is only reducing negative reactions...

    Before we assume the diagnosed ones were not being careful with their diets, we should think about the people with the opposite problem- they really were sick, they really responded to diet, and they really didn't get a diagnosis because they had negative blood tests and/or biopsies. Why does their mucosa look so nice ? There could be, and probably is...

    Attention, this thread is from last year. NEVER assume anything in a restaurant is gluten free without checking with either the chef, the manager, or if a chain, the customer service dept and then the individual restaurant itself. There was another thread where someone at the soup at Panera's and got sick afterwards even tho they asked for it without...

    Please give us a sample menu day for yourself so we can see what's up. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, & snacks. If you are attempting to do a specific carbohydrate diet that avoids all grains, if you don't eat enough protein and fat and vegetable fiber, you will crash and burn. You must eat dietary fat on these grainless diets. Fat can come from oils...

    Oh, goody, there is nothing I like better than chasing around a really DUMB article all over the internet and debunking it. Scott, I don't know if you read the Reuters version of this but it was atrocious from a scientific standpoint. There is no calcium in lactose, a milk sugar, so avoiding lactose doesn't mean that one is avoiding calcium. Methinks...

    Some things to think about: This is called a "gluten meltdown" and is typically when a person is getting either cross contaminated intentionally or accidentally by consuming gluten, after being on a gluten free diet. Accidental cross contamination can come from medications, over the counter or prescription, cosmetics such as lipstick or lip balm,...

    Congratulations on being willing to try the diet, based on your own observations and research. Yes, it may take a while, but a lot of it does really go away. I have spinal stenosis in my C spine so it took me a bit longer, but the "burners" should go away if you stick with it.

    ++++++++++++++ Yup ! I was so happy when I figured out that I'm sensitive to topicals. No more rashes, much better skin. No more itchy flakey scalp. No more hands cracking in the winter. Your hair should grown in thicker once your gut heals up. Extra bonus. Guys, look. You all have SHORT HAIR and you don't put conditioner on it. We...

    I have a theory that they are related, but I haven't done a lot of research yet as it can be emotionally charged subject, because nobody wants to be told that they could be genetically pre disposed to developing alcoholism. This upsets some people very much. My theory is based on that it's a physical sugar craving based on malnutrition. Based on...

    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips Ghiradelli baking bars, but they have some soy lecithin, I think. Other than that, they're gluten-free Some Lara bars have chocolate, the chocolate mint ones are good So do a few special kinds of clif bars, read the labels
