ARCHIVED Bards Guten Free Beer Update

For [former] beer aficianodos, look forward to Hambleton's GFA from the UK. -
BEWARE: Imitation crab contains wheat starch. It is sometimes used in a lobster roll to fill it out. Also used for nigiri sushi; possibly used in seafood soups. Ponzu sauce. Eel sauce. Chef might prepare/keep for you if you provide gluten-free soy sauce and you are a good customer. Suspect any brown sauce. Prepared products they shake over...

Dairy makes mine light up like a stop light. Cutting dairy helps, but there's something else. It just won't go away and my dermatologist is getting rich.

Other areas of concern: ramen, gyoza, panko, tempura, curry rice mix, miso, dashi, salad dressing, marinades, tamago (omlete), flavored roe, fish cake, wasabi. Not all have gluten, but may. FYI - if you patronize a sushi bar, the chef will get to know your needs. Also, you can get a great Japanese dining card at Open Original Shared Link Wakarimas...

ARCHIVED Soy Sauce?!
kvogt replied to a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Another good brand is Eden Soy. They also have a tamari soy sauce. The reason commencial soy sauce contains wheat is that they can make it cheaper. -
Soy causes me brain fog to the extreme. Can form sentences.

ARCHIVED More Restrictions

Be careful with the soy products... especially with children. Many of us with gluten and dairy problems also have soy problems. Pay close attention to his reactions after consuming it. -
ARCHIVED Deficiencies - Doctors Appt.
kvogt replied to AmandaD's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
First, I'd find a doc who has seen a sprue twice this week. Second, you aren't absorbing vitamins and minerals very well. You should take a daily vitamin (choose carefully) and probably additional vitamins for nursing mothers. -
If I have have a drink (alcohol) it will cause my heart to race when I get horizontal. Also, after a drink, walking up a flight of stairs will also cause it to race.

If you are cooking Cajun (whooo... don't you know?) you have a couple of good choices for rouxs. I've used soy flour, which gives a peanutish flavor to gravy or sauce. I've used Garfava flour, which toasts up nicely, but tends to be a little gritty if you don't boil it for more that 10-15 minutes. The gluten-free flour mixes contain potato starch and tapioca...

ARCHIVED Gluten Free Communion Wafers
kvogt replied to dianalynn1953's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Actually, it's not about being "able to claim that it is still made of wheat". The alter bread "must contain gluten sufficient for the convection of bread" which means able to make bread that holds together. It must be made from wheat as is found in church Tradition. I read it took the Benedictine sisters 10 years to work out how to do it Thank you... -
We have a support group in Louisville. See www.glutenfreelouisville.org if you are interested. We're happy to help. We have folks come from as far as Lexington, Elizabethtown and others. The rest of KY seems to be wanting for support groups, unfortunately.

ARCHIVED Gf Beer In Ireland North Or South
kvogt replied to brianc's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
How deperate are you? I presume you can get beer shipped to you from the UK just as easily... Google gluten free beer and you'll find Hambleton's and Greene's. Also a very good one from the Fine Ale Club. I visited my pals on Portsmouth and we had arranged several 12-packs in advance. It was in his cool room when I arrived. Of course, they should... -
If you like beer they have it in the UK. If you have some place to ship to, you can purchase online and have it deliverd before you arrive. Otherwise, there's one called Heron in Sainsbury's grocery. It's not the best, but it's decent. Food in the grocery is a snap!

Will be in the Kitty Hawk area in a few weeks and am looking for store and especially good places to eat. Thanks!

For a few months prior to diagnosis, I had the experience of getting whiffs of an amonia-like odor. Went away a few months into the diet.

ARCHIVED Gluten-free?
kvogt replied to YankeeDB's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Barley contains an enzyme that is VERY good at breaking starches into sugars. That's why its used to make beers - even wheat beers. Malts are beyond just sprouting the grain. The malting process can be allowed to go on to make sugar to varying degrees depending upon the type of malt being made. To make rice malt, a small amount of barley might be... -
ARCHIVED "made On Equipment Shared With Wheat..."
kvogt replied to Merika's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
If you have an IgE mediated food allergy to wheat (i.e. resulting in anaphalaxis) you should not eat anything that is not processed on a dedicated line. If you have celiac disease (IgA, IgE mediated "intolerance") you go with your gut whether to eat or not. Personally, I'm not that sensitive... I'd eat it. -
ARCHIVED Tamari & Coffee
kvogt replied to Turtle's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Edensoy also makes a gluten-free soy tamari soy sauce. -
I react to soy. I have a patch on my shin that itches after eating soy. I also have exerienced mental confusion - difficulty concentrating and problem solving. Difficulty communicating complex ideas because my mind is racing.

Sounds like fibromyalgia.

Balsam of Peru, an ingredient in fragrances and some foods (i.e. natural flavorings) can cause persistant skin problems.

Vitaligo is an auto-immune disease. I think, once you have a spot, you're stuck with it, but being gluten-free should reduce the tendency to get new white spots. Be careful of sun on white spots. They are prone to cancer later in life.
