    _______________ Send her the url of this website. Some forms of gluten intolerance have neurological symptoms that match MS. Some of us, myself included, no longer need a cane to walk and have regained feeling in our hands and feet after going on a gluten free diet. I didn't have the stuff in the spinal fluid but I did have brain lesions called bright...

    Yes, there is a lot overlap in auto immune diseases. I've had arthritis my entire adult life but did not figure out that I was gluten intolerant until about 25 years into that adult life, in my forties, if I had been diagnosed accurately way back, there is no telling how much different my life would have been and be now, how much damage I would have avoided...

    I don't know if it is really common, but it definitely is a symptom for some of us. Some of the neurological symptoms can imitate MS, but few doctors in the US recognize this.

    I think if you read the two links I'm going to put up, and combine the ideas out of each, you should be able to come up with something. I can tell you how to do a quick bread in a cast iron skillet, which doesn't have dairy, yeast, or gluten, but you will have to use an egg substitute. This can be a commercial type of product or some people make their...

    try googling: gluten free dining gluten free bakery and the name of the town you're interested in, and it should pull up some options. There ARE places to go to find gluten free prepared food, and it's perfectly edible for the regular gluten eater, too. It's merely a question of finding new places to enjoy yourself at. Davis, CA has...

    After 5 and a half years of being off of gluten consumption, a celiac or gluten intolerant person will FLUNK the blood tests if they have been adhering faithfully to the gluten free diet- this isn't rocket science, yet we read here almost daily of a patient/doctor interaction whereby the doctor doesn't seem to realize this. (and even I have had this happen...

    ____________ Are you eating "like a girl," in that you are not eating enough protein and good fat, but still on the typical American kick of high carbs ? Try eating more avocado, olive oil, coconut milk, nuts, eggs, organic butter if you can handle it. Fat is a slow burning burning fuel, that when combined with protein and then fiber, such as from...

    __________________ thoughts ? Do you have to interact with this idiot on a social basis anymore ? GI "friend" is not a friend. GI acquaintance is merely trolling the poolside for new victims. I would sit down and have, as others suggested, a heart to heart talk with your spouse, and tell him if he ever undercuts you again in public like that...

    Jason, you know that a lot of rice syrups are processed with barley, don't you ? Is the one you are contemplating actually gluten free ? You can make syrup from sugar and boiling water if you need to.

    ___________ Congratulations on your graduation, and for at least setting a precedent so that other students know that they can beat down the doors of ignorance.

    Bob's RM gluten-free Homemade Wonderful Bread Mix contains: "Contains garbanzo flour, potato starch, corn starch, sorghum flour, tapioca flour, evaporated cane juice, fava flour, xanthan gum, potato flour, sea salt, guar gum, soy lecithin, and a yeast packet " It has 2 kinds of bean flour in it, garbanzo and fava. Many people don't like the taste of...

    With baking soda, just add a bit of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice (acidic liquid) to activate it. I make quick breads with almond meal and have always used this and not baking powder.

    Are you still eating this diet that you were back in October ? I got queasy just reading this, no offense. The various flavors of bakery on main granola contain several things that I react to, not a gluten reaction, but to the other ingredients. That is a harsh list of ingredients on a tender gut lining. I react now to cashews and flax oil and...

    Re Riceguy and your experience with amaranth: That's interesting. I don't leave ANYTHING out. Unopened packages get stored in the refrigerator, as do open ones. If the gluten free grain/seed/nuts is one that is susceptible to bugs, after we bring it home it gets plunked into the freezer first to kill anything, then it either stays there or gets transfered...

    With different types of flours, the more kinds you use in one recipe for gluten free bread, the better it tastes. (and if you are going to try a pre made gluten free flour mix, I would recommend Pamela's to start off with, so you can see what I mean. ) Also, the more likely you will be able to get use out of the proteins in it, as combining different...

    Never touch a soup from a restaurant, unless it's a restaurant that is exclusively gluten free. You don't know where the ladle has been in that kitchen. I would not touch anything from Panera, being a bakery, the entire shop would be contaminated with wheat flour. I just googled "Panera Creamy Tomato Soup" and the net is full of recipes and they have...

    I am not as sensitive as some, which is actually a bigger problem because then it's not real obvious when and how I have been glutened, and I went my entire adult life misdiagnosed until I figured it out from internet research when I was in my forties, combined with looking at test results that the idiot physician told me proved that I didn't have a problem...

    Polenta (gluten free corn meal mush) and Risotto (creamy cooked rice casserole) are famous Italian dishes..... so is Pesto sauce over rice pasta, the Pesto being made with basil, garlic, chopped almonds instead of pine nuts and extra virgin olive oil, you should go to Recipezar or whatever that cooking website w/ recipes is called, and pull up some authentic...

    Mail order source hint: Piranhas live in this river, which has its headwaters in the Andes and is the biggest river in Brazil.

    Hello, welcome, and don't worry, this goes away. One of the symptoms of being gluten intolerant is craving carbohydrates. This is caused by malabsorption of nutrients, and then aggravated by the typical American habit of eating too low fat and high starch and sugar diets low in vegetables. The body intreprets the imbalanced feeling as a sugar/carb...

    I found the previous thread on this topic: 2 Aug 2009 by KSUmarlow04 Celiac Disease Discrimination https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/index.php?showtopic=60649&st=0&p=551824&#entry551824

    ______________________ Hey there yourself. This thread started years ago. Your link goes to another site where it says "status confirmed" but when I clicked on that link, it said "product not found." Hershey's moved much of its manufacturing to Mexico a few years back, and around that time they started to get coy about not being able to confirm the gluten...

    Hello, and welcome. Many of us bake all the time, too, we just use the other stuff. Being gluten free is the beginning of your new baking lifestyle. Of course there are alternatives to "dorm food," the school administrators just want you to think there are not. Getting an education has nothing to do with forcing you to eat something you are allergic...

    Try to eat as clean a diet as possible. You don't realize how much better overall you can feel until you clean up your diet to be actually gluten free. I'm not a blatant reactor to small amounts of gluten, but instead I get neurological symptoms similar to MS, and flares of arthritis. I have a lot of damage to certain parts of my spine, I live in a state...
