    Been there, done that! Me: oooh chocolate. Yum. Munch, munch, munch Husband: uhhh, can you eat that one? Me(after reading label): oh $#&*%#$@&!

    Not in the original as published online. Open Original Shared Link The best I can find is this numerical list, but it doesn't identify which beers the numbers refer to. Open Original Shared Link

    Am I missing something? I found the full text of the article but can't find the list of the beers they actually tested. Anyone else found the list?

    Just a warning on the King Soba noodles: The Canadian Food Inspection Agency issued a recall for them last year due to gluten contamination. I eat Rizopia pasta. Relatively inexpensive and easy to find (or at least it is in Ontario).

    I had someone at work last week ask me if there was some kind of gluten-free kibbles I could eat. Kibbles? uhhhh, I'm a dog????

    Though sadly none of these rules prevent manufacturers from labelling products as both "gluten free" and "may contain traces of wheat".

    I've been reading about how goitrogenic foods are bad for people with hypothyroidism. I give up. I don't know what to eat anymore. Cutting out gluten was hard, but not as hard as cutting out goitrogens will be. There's two things I can't get through a day without eating: a huge green vegetable smoothie, and peanut butter. And here I thought I was doing my...

    So would 5.2 be considered hypothyroidism??

    I had my levels tested recently and it was 5.2. The doctor said that was only slightly elevated. But how is that slightly elevated if the top end of normal is 3 or 4????

    We're going out to the pub tonight so I"m eating dinner before we go: sausage, garlic mashed potatos, and sugar snap peas.

    I've made this recipe before but I didn't have quinoa flour so I think I just used an all-purpose gluten-free flour mix. It worked great!

    Just make sure you have variety. I went backpacking around Australia just after I was diagnosed and was eating 2-3 apples a day because apples travel really well. I did that for 4 months. By the time I got home my body decided it didn't like apples anymore! I've done that before. Works great! LaraBars are great for travelling - tons of energy and...

    I think the thing is that people who have no problems with gluten (i.e. not celiac, no wheat allergy, not non-celiac gluten intolerant) who normally eat poorly (i.e. a lot of processed foods, fast food) see gluten free as the answer to loose weight because they view it as less carbs, cooking from scratch, etc. But I bet they could just as easily lose the...

    I complained recently to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (responsible for enforcing labelling standards in Canada) about a product that was labelled "gluten free" but then also contained warnings about wheat and this was the response I got: Though CFIA agrees that these statements indicating that the product

    I've always joked that someone should do a study on the oral health of the partners of celiacs and others with food allergies. My husband is always brushing his teeth so that he doesn't gluten me. Last year he even brought a little travel toothbrush with to a New Year's Eve party just so he could kiss me at midnight! It was so sweet!

    It was chili night at our house. We made a big pot of beef and bean chili and ate it with Que Pasa corn chips.

    Let me guess, you also get C after being glutened?

    It is interesting that he suggests that essentially all grains are bad. Recent research from Italy indicates that several gluten-free grains are in fact safe. Researchers in Italy noted that several cereals and pseudocereals (such as tef, millet, amaranth and quinoa), have long been thought to be safe for celiacs simply because they are not classified botanically...

    I went to New York for the first time this past September and was overwhelmed by the number of safe places to eat. Now, it took some planning and research. I researched ahead of time so that I knew what restaurants were located where. But some days we ate lunch or dinner twice just to fit in another restaurant! It was the first time travelling when I didn...

    I'm not sure if all provinces have this, but in Ontario there is also the Special Diet Allowance but its only for people on social assistance. Its supposed to help with the extra costs of a special diet for certain medical conditions, including Celiac Disease. As of April 1, 2011, the monthly allowance for Celiac Disease is $97. You have to apply at an Ontario...

    I won't touch the stuff. Ever watched when they make pizza in a restaurant? They stick their flour covered hands into the little buckets of toppings. They use those same toppings for the gluten free pizza! Some restaurants get it. But here in Canada, Pizza Pizza is the main one advertising gluten free pizza crust and from what I can see (and I have seen...

    I'm thankful I'm Canadian and our thanksgiving was over a month ago...looooong before Christmas! I don't know how you Americans manage two big holidays so close together (even if avoiding gluten wasn't an issue!).
