ARCHIVED Weight Gain Since gluten-free/some Good Advice Needed
sancan replied to penny-s's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
penny_s - you aren't alone! I find myself in a similar situation. I have struggled with my weight my whole life - never obese but always "chunky" - and was diagnosed last year after 15 years of incorrect diagnoses. Going gluten free made all my GI symptoms disappear almost overnight but in the following months, I had the typical weight gain as my intestines... -
Thanks for all the hints and advice. Here's an update for the curious: I ran the marathon and finished! It wasn't in quite the time I had hoped (4:15) but I think it's still respectable for a first try (4:27) especially considering I started getting shooting pains in my right foot around mile 16 and had to pretty much hobble for the last 10 miles. ...

ARCHIVED Restaurants In Palo Alto, Ca?

Thanks for all the advice! I've never done the serious carbo loading stuff but it did make sense to me to eat carbs the night before a race.

So as my first post-diagnoses race approaches...

ARCHIVED Most Important Meal Of The Day
sancan replied to Bibulousman's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I know Kellog's corn flakes are a no-no because they are sweetened with barley malt. I've had good luck with the Bob's Red Mill Gluten free oatmeal but maybe I'm one of the lucky ones. -
ARCHIVED Labeled Gluten Free, But Not!
sancan replied to highrentsmile's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I'm also new to this and was driving myself crazy trying to avoid all CC. Then someone pointed out to me that I eat things processed in a non-gluten free facility every day - MY kitchen! My family are still gluten eaters and although they are very careful to avoid contamination, there's no way I can guarantee that the entire kitchen is gluten free. ...
