    Cheese is fine if you tolerate dairy. Some Celiacs dont. Try it and see. One thing I used to eat a lot when I was single was I would saute some chopped onions, throw in a can of refried beans and a dash of cumin. Then eat with tortilla chips. You can find gluten-free tortilla chips at Whole Foods. Someone else might be able to suggest actual brand...

    Vitamin K deficiency can cause both bruising and excessive blood loss. Vitamin K is needed to make your blood "clot". Vitamin C has been shown to "thin" the blood, so dont go overboard on that one.

    Got a microwave? Make potatoes and sweet potatoes your friends. What do you have at your disposal to work with? Stove? Oven? Microwave? Freezer? Pots & pans?

    Kelly if you can, find a good Naturopathic Dr. They can test all of your hormones the best way. Hormones do not operate in isolation of each other. They are all connected. My Sis is on Synthroid (has been for 7 years) but did not feel well until she added a small amount of Armour (7 months ago). Now she feels great. She is still on the same amount...

    But my problem is that chocolate "gives me depression" and not the "Im down in the dumps kind"....but the "life is completely hopeless, I feel numb and I want to kill myself pit kind".........sigh

    It is a hard decision to make. I did the blood, but refused biopsy. I am at high risk for perforation due to adhesions, so I didnt want to do it. I also did genetic tests and Enterolab. Blood was Neg for me. Enterolab was POS for Gluten Intolerance and I had 2 Gluten Intolerant related genes. That and now a POS response to the diet is enough for me...

    To differentiate Celiac is an auto-immune disease and ingesting gluten triggers a cascade of auto-immune response. Being gluten intolerant is not auto-immune (according to the best research we have to date). If you are GI your body will not launch an auto-immune response to CC. There will be consequences no doubt. For me it is vertigo and migraine......

    THAT is exactly why I did Enterolab and Genetic testing. I knew gluten was a problem, but since my bloods were Neg (low IgA) and I refused biopsy, I needed to know. And it is important to know the difference because CC for a Celiac can be very damaging. CC for a gluten intolerant is just uncomfortable. I think most doctors are pretty ignorant when...

    There are no more RAW almonds in the U.S. either. New Law says they must be "pasteurized". So I am now importing mine from Spain......

    Hubby said it needed tweeking as well. So added 1 more Tlb sugar. We used brown sugar. And a pinch of salt. We buy really good cocoa powder and dark chocolate chips by girradelli. (I dont eat any of this stuff so just reporting DH and DD experience). The first time the chips went to the bottom. This time we added the chips last, by putting them on...

    Those are both symptoms I have seen posted on this forum quite a few times. There werent my symptoms, but since others with Celiac have them, I would say YES! They should both be tested.

    I personally have forgotten what "quick" food is...... I keep lunch meat in the fridge (Boar's Head or Applegate Farms) and triple washed lettuce leaves. That way I can have a "quick" meal. Add a handful of plantain chips.....yum!! I always make my soups in HUGE batches so I have some to freeze for times I need a hurry up dinner. I dont...

    Amber you may have reacted to something in that B12 (a filler or excipient). Try a different brand. Jarrow is very good and is gluten-free. They come in 1000 mg. Hold under tongue until completely dissolved.

    There are a handful of people on e.B.a.y. that sell kefir grains. I have not bought any yet cuz it is so easy to buy it here. I already make so much of my own food. I am sure at some point I will give a go at making my own. So far so good with the kefir. No problems. And nice looking bms.

    There are many things that can cause dizziness. Low blood pressure. Adrenal fatigue. Low iron. And others. I get this. My BP is good and my adrenals tested perfect. But my Ferritin is low. I have done a lot of research of late on low iron stores and I feel my remaining nagging symptoms are due to low Ferritin....so I am working to correct that....

    ARCHIVED I'm Confused

    ShayFL replied to DinaB's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Yes, you can use the microwave, but I would but a paper towel under your bowl and one on top to avoid any CC. I looked at your "FREE" from list and it is pretty extensive. I would say that the other known baddies are "soy" and "corn".
  20. ShayFL
    I agree.

    1. If he has a Celiac gene (and he could have both) then your girls have a 50/50 of getting this gene from him. If you have a celiac gene then the chances are nearly certain. Have you been tested? Tests are notoriously inaccurate in children under 6. But I would recommend getting them anyway. If you can afford it, you can use Enterolab to...

    Welcome Dawn!! Many find it best when starting out to stick with simple natural foods: plain meats, eggs, veggies, fruits, rice and potatoes. Simple spices that (McCormicks is good as they will list wheat/and gluten). Hope you feel better soon.

    Just playing it safe.

    Ha ha ha....of course you drug it off topic even more. I am avoiding all legumes right now including fake cinnamon (saigon and 90% of the cinnamon sold in the U.S.) It is really Cassia. I bought some REAL cinnamon. It isnt as strongly flavored but still good.

    Ummm....a product from China just recently had ingredients NOT listed. At first they thought it didnt affect U.S., but found it in non-dairy creamer...Mr. Brown's brand I believe. A lot of spices are made in China. Unfortunately some U.S. manufacturers do not check what they import from China. So I would never say with 100% conviction that a spice didnt...
