    My spouse was eating grain free when first diagnosed. To gain weight, he prioritized protein and tried to increase the amount of protein he ate each week by 5 grams. Sometimes he would put collagen in broth to get a bit more protein. It was a fair amount of work, but it did the trick. Are potatoes, turnips, parsnips options for you? Sweet potatoes?...

    I've bought my spouse a membership to GlutenFreeWatchDog for the last several years and he's found that helpful. Mostly though, he reads Mark's Daily Apple and sticks to a real food diet. (in his case, dairy free as he is casein intolerant as well.) He likes to cook and we've both enjoyed a membership to ckbk.com

    You might also consider histamine. That can aggravate things and it is tricky to test for. However, eating "anti-histaminically" is fairly easy and healthy. My spouse solved a lot of mysterious reactions when he started trying to take histamine into account. We found this website to be very helpful. Open Original Shared Link Histamine could...

    It all worked out - the key - cargo pants packed full of snacks!

    ok, that sounds good to me. thanks!

    Well, FWIW, DH never had any positive blood tests and he saw several docs, 4 or 5. He has had a positive fecal TTG from Enterolab - please note that this test is not formally validated. Here's a link to info on fecal TTG from celiac.com: https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/blog/856/entry-1546-enterolab-a-scientists-viewpoint/ He did have an endoscopy...

    DH (celiac and casein free) is up for a job opportunity. So far, the application has been handled online and there have been emails and phone calls with the recruiter. If that goes well, he gets an invite to a week long "orientation." Job offers are handed out (or not) on day 5. They put you up at a company owned hotel and breakfast and lunch...

    You could try looking for resources for casein intolerance and milk allergy. Those search terms will be more effective. There is a milk allergy listerv, for example. Open Original Shared Link

    Wow, great news! I can't help but think that the mood improvements are an especially good sign. I hope your daughter continues to improve and eventually joins the "vast majority."

    Open Original Shared Link There was a research review put together before the US gluten free standards were set. Basically, the standard was set at 20ppm because the "vast majority" of celiacs could tolerate exposure at that level. I think this link will take you to the PDF entitled Health Hazard Assessment for Gluten Exposure in Individuals with...

    My spouse noticed this as well. He dislikes goat, but does tolerate sheep milk products. He also has the MTHFR issue, so that may be worth checking out; that seemed to affect his mood also.

    Boar's Head is very committed to gluten-free/CF but I am not sure about certification. I do know that now all salamis, etc are casein free; they sometimes have milk products on the outside (I am thinking of artisanal charcuterie products.)

    My spouse does well with Boar's Head and Salumi. He is gluten and casein free. He handled those sorts of products (aged, fermented meats) even better after he recognized and addressed a histamine intolerance. Alison Vickery's website was helpful. Apparently the DAO enzyme is produced on the tips of the villi.Celiac and other inflammatory conditions...

    My spouse has done well on Paleo starting around 2009. He's added back more foods, such as legumes, rice and potatoes, as "resistant starches" and he's also added back sheep yogurt this past year. He's been experimenting with various fermented foods (the yogurt, kraut juice, lacto-fermented pickles, etc) and probiotics too in this past year. In the...

    Do they check your vitamin D levels? You will need vitamin d, and k2, and protein (particularly glycine and collagen) to build bone. There's a surprising amount of protein in the "matrix" of bone. Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link Blood glucose stability will help tremendously with the healing process. You will get a lot of...

    Make sure that you keep an eye on levels of zinc, iodine, vitamin d, b12, iron. Deficiencies will aggravate.

    Thank you, that looks like a place we will both enjoy!

    Short trip to Toronto. Eating gluten AND dairy free Have you tried Riz Pan Asian? Or El Catrin? Kensington Cornerstone looks fine; have you enjoyed a meal there? Open to suggestions, but to save you some typing, he's got very little interest in bakery goods/sorbet, pizza/italian, vegan/vegetarian or gluten free beer. Likes cider though.

    You might look into histamine intolerance.

    What certification does the Lundberg rice have that you are interested in? Does anyone know of GIG or CSA certified rices (the grain, not rice flour or products) Shiloh farms say they are working on getting certified http://www.shilohfarms.com/certified-gluten-free/

    I read somewhere that twitter can be handy for finding gluten free eats when you travel. So I have a twitter account and I've been on it a little, but I don't really get it or understand how to ask that great big twitter world a question. Anybody got a link to Twitter for Gluten Free dummies? LOL!

    We've had good luck with VRBO.com We've rented small houses with kitchens, loaded up the cooler in the car. Also bring our own cutting board, colander, skillet, sauce pan, spatula. I sometimes make food ahead and freeze it. It keeps the cooler cold and I don't have to cook quite as much. We've occasionally stayed in 'extended-stay" hotels but...
