    Yes, it is possible to be allergic to the cold - my hubs is. But he gets real evidence of it - huge welts like humongous chilblains all over.

    My gut continued to leak for years until I got on to VSL#3 also. Worked wonders for me too! Just because he is Dr. Green does not mean that he knows everything (although I do respect him).

    Milk is made up of milk sugars (lactose), protein (casein) and fat. Most celiacs do not tolerate milk sugars when first diagnosed because the damage to their small intestine means they cannot produce the enzyme lactase; however, they can often tolerate yogurt, hard cheese, dairy products where the lactose has been removed or predigested. Casein is digested...

    No, no, Addy, not the same trendy -- different trendy but still trendy!

    Karen, it's not the wheat, it's the barley - made with malt vinegar.

    Good gracious, yes!! This board is littered with bodies bearing negative biopsies. A lot of them have negative blood work as well. It is called non-celiac gluten intolerance and it has only been in the past couple of years or so that the celiac researchers have acknowledged that such a condition exists. It used to be that a non-diagnosable gluten sufferer...

    Sweet potatoes and yams are a staple of my diet. Unlike GottaSki, I am not totally grain free. I do eat alternative breads made with rice flour, tapioca, sorghum, buckwheat, arrowroot, teff. I do not eat wheat, oats, rye, barley, corn, quinoa, millet or amaranth. I eat white rice, but to be safe avoid brown rice which has the bran (and therefore the lectins...

    Yes, but I set the trends, I do not follow them

    Legumes are a good source of protein. Some of us do not tolerate them but it has nothing to do with gluten. I had to cut them from my diet because of the lectins contained in their outer skins which interfere with my autonomic nervous system and give me atrial fibrillation. I am also intolerant of soy (which happens to be in the legume family) and corn...

    Damage to the gut is pretty severe if it can be seen with the naked eye. Wait for your biopsy results to come back and see what the pathologist has to say and then if necessary we can start speculating on your tTG.

    And so not something you'd care to ask for help with! Sorry about the back.

    Not a stupid question. Milk is made up of milk sugars (lactose), protein (casein) and fat. You need different enzymes to digest the different parts of the milk. The milk enzyme is made in the part of the small intestine that is destroyed by gluten so the lactose part is not digestible until you heal your gut. The casein is digested by a different enzyme...

    By the way, you and your man look good vertical, and in your non-spanx.

    Yes, if there is a gluten free section, who's complainin? You're in and out. I just don't have the time to look at every price tag in the store or read the packaging of every product. And I sure don't have the energy to walk the whole supermarket at Walmart and end up with ONE product I only complain when you have to be a sleuth to find the stuff.
  16. mushroom
    Why don't you do a trial of totally dairy free? It could be coming from the casein or the lactose. Maybe not even gluten??? I don't know if you have trialled gluten without dairy? That could be a possibility.
  17. mushroom
    I know whereof she speaks. After hearing of everyone shopping at Walmart I thought, Wow, they must have changed!. Well, not in Nevada they haven't. They have gluten free Chex in with the other cereals and apart from that it is almost impossible to find a labelled gluten free product. Certainly not easy enough to make it worth the effort.
  18. mushroom
    Yeah, potatoes are a big hive producer for me. I believe it's the lectins they contain. I trialled potatoes again, a small bite three days in a row, last week and ended up with atrial afibrillation so I guess they are a permanent no-no for me, along with all the other nightshades. Just might trial some tomato this summer just for verification

    You don't have to worry about gluten in salmon, but if you want to worry about salmon anyway you can worry that the FDA is close to approving genetically modified farmed salmon so that it will grow to size in half the time in fish farms in Panama!!! And here, silly old me thought that salmon was a cold water fish. This must be a fish of a different kettle

    Yes, I would think you could safely eat these. They have not been injected with any gluten-containing broth and have not been rubbed with any gluten-containing spice mixtures, i.e., nothing has been added to them is what they are saying. So unless they were cc'd by the abbatoir where they were slaughtered (not likely for gluten at least) they should be...

    Hi Steph: The answers are Yes! Yes! and Yes!!! You are right on the normal curve of post-gluten recovery. Such a relief to get rid of the gluten, feel terrific, and then the body says, "Wait a minute, I was addicted to that stuff, I think I need it!!! Gimme, gimme, gimme" and you are in withdrawal, grumpy, and out of sorts and, as you say, detoxing...

    Lisa, that sounds awfully like the traditional Kiwi Christmas dinner (although turkeys are becoming more popular, and thus cheaper). That's what hubs wanted (the lamb that is) - note to self, make more mint sauce - but of course I won't have the potatoes. I will do roast veg - red onions, squash, sweet potato, parsnip - and asparagus is in full swing here...

    I believe Adam was referring to alternate grains, not gluten.

    Most excellent news. Celebrate a benign tumor this Christmas, and you will have plenty of time to prepare for the surgery in the New Year. I am so glad for you!.

    As incredible as it seems, some companies/people feel the urge to put gluten in guacamole. I was surprised myself when a know gluten freer asked if my guacamole was gluten free. I said yes (before I was eating gluten free) and he said "How do you know?" I said because I made it myself. He then decided to eat it. When in doubt, ask, or don't eat it.
