    ARCHIVED Flax Seed

    ShayFL replied to Mally-bug's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Chia have an even better Omega 3 profile. Dont have that fishy taste and dont give me gas.

    That rice protein powder tears me up. Rice doesnt, but the powder does. Ditto for Cocunut powder. Hemp powder sits well with me. You have to experiment with the proteins till you find one that works for you.

    Breakfast is my biggest "beef". But I have found "Lydia's Granolas" and absolutely love them. I make my own almond or hazelnut milk and I have been noshing on this for over a week now and still look forward to them. You can use store bought milks if you dont have time to "make" stuff. Lydia's is gluten free, corn free, soy free and yummy! I make...

    I just wish I could eat chocolate.

    Fab!! You DO get BETTER Service eating gluten-free out. I always get to meet the chefs at the nicer places.

    Your lymph system is the "great custodian" of the body. Always cleaning crap out. It could be that they are moving toxins out. You can help them along by doing rhythmic exercise like a mini trampolin or even walking helps.

    Renee, You should have your thyroid monitored closely for awhile because the way you absorb your medication can change on the diet. Usually for the better. And some can reduce their meds. A few can quit taking them over time as their body heals. You could gain weight because your body is finally absorbing nutrients (vitamins and minerals) but also...

    I use my Vita-Mix (dry container) to make flour. It does pretty well. I then sift through a strainer to "refine" it for baking.

    ARCHIVED Help!

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

    You need calories, but not that much more right now. In a couple months, you will need A LOT more. Do you like acorn squash? It is delicious with a sprinkle of cinnamon and your favorite sweetner....baked in the oven. Yum!! Nuts pack nutrition and calories. Beef, Turkey, Eggs Pancakes made with grains you tolerate plus eggs.

    ARCHIVED Stinky Gas

    ShayFL replied to BRUMI1968's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Ive noticed I am soooo much less gassy on gluten-free and when I do it isnt so stinky like before. Anytime you take a pro-biotic it changes your intestinal flora. It could be that randomly taking them is disrupting things a bit and causing the gas.

    I am gluten-free now 5 weeks and eating about 60% - 75% raw. I am in the healing phases, but the raw feels good to me. I make walnut pate's and eat with celery and carrots. I make fresh almond milk or hazelnut milk which I eat with "raw granola" by Lydia's. Lots of salads with homemade "raw dressings" and fruit smoothies. It is all very delicious and...

    ARCHIVED Fiber

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

    I am using Chia seeds now. They dont have a strong taste like flax and they have HUGE amounts of Omega 3s (the good fats) 4 to 1 to Omega 6s. Superior to flax in this respect. And HIGH FIBER. They can be used whole or ground. And they dont give me gas.

    There is evidence that Ferritin over 80 can contribute to Diabetes. Both my Grammys were Diabetic. So I am shooting for 70. I am only at 22 right now, up from 11. But I am just now 5 weeks gluten-free and hoping the iron will start being absorbed now.

    I like Lydia's cereal: Open Original Shared Link

    Tom you might be one of those that is very sensitive to even flour in the air. If they are making pizza and tossing flour around and the A/C picks it up and distributes into the air and you breath it in and get inside of you, you can react. Your food could be sitting there and the pizza prep person tosses some flour to shape some dough and some of the flour...

    This company does things right. Fresh....cold storage. Open Original Shared Link Rancidity has both a smell and a taste. I cannot explain the smell. But once you have smelled rancid oil, you will recognize it EVERYTIME. And the taste is both unpleasant and when you chew it and hold it on your tongue for a minute you get a kinda buzzy/burny feeling...

    If you are Dx celiac, then you must strive for 100% gluten free. It sounds hard at first, but it gets easier. I am on my 5th week and able to relax and enjoy my food and life. There are many mainstream products that are gluten free like Dove. So I have been buying Dove soaps and shampoos. Burts Bees has gluten free skincare, so I switched to those...

    No they are not in the wheat family. But you might want to call the grower to make sure they arent grown with "wheatgrass" sprouts. Same containers. Cross contamination issues.

    That straw would just turn to mold here in Florida. So our strawberries should be good. CA wouldnt need the straw either. So I will stick to these two sources.

    I understand your rant. I sooooo wish I could be that 95 year old being interviewed and when asked what my secret is: big hunks of greasy fried meats and lots of desserts. But the fact is that junk makes me feel like crap. My blood sugar skyrockets and I cannot function. So I eat healthy. It isnt because I "want" to. I "have" to. And if I dont live...

    Hi RiceGuy! Im juicing my own with a brand new juicer: watercress, celery, cucumbers, endive, etc. No wheatgrass, Barley Grass!! And I wouldnt buy the powdered stuff anyway. It is dead no matter what they say about "live enzymes". Thank you for checking! I have tried amaranth before and didnt care for it. Tastes like dirt to me.....

    Ive had the inner ears and my upper mouth (pallet) itch like crazy. I hate when it happens. Oh and sometimes the bottom of my feet. But I think that has to do with my neuropathy.
  23. ShayFL
    I guess I have suffered that obsession for over 15 years....LOL Good news about the Amaranth for you. It has such an earthy flavor almost like dirt to me....but that is just me....So I dont really like it much. Any good recipes? I am working really hard right now to be eating about 60 - 75% RAW. So far so good. I am making green drinks twice a day...

    Thank you so much everyone for responding!! I am doing better the last two days....not as hungry and sleeping through the night again. yippee!! I have upped my fat intake and I think that is helping. I am down another pound. But hoping it will level off soon. Im definately NOT counting fat grams.....LOL It's funny....I dont crave carbs...

    Im with Mom23 now. I eat simply and after you get used to it, you actually hate the processed stuff. Your tastes change to eat more natural foods. They really taste good if you give them a chance. Once your brain detoxes from all of the artificial taste stimulants like MSG, Natural Flavor, Artificial Flavor, etc. you will find you enjoy whole simple foods...
