I spoke with a supplement company called Syntrax a month ago about their products being gluten free. I ordered some protein, and they also sent my some samples of Fyre (a fat burner). I have yet to try it. I assume it is gluten free since we discussed gluten free in depth. I just reviewed the ingredients and they all are natural, so it should be gluten...

Check out Nectar by a company called Syntrax. I've been using Nectar for a month and love it! No stomach issues. Also, it is by far the best tasting protein I've tried, and I've tried many through years of bodybuilding. I got it in individual packets, so I make them anywhere I can get water. I just got a 40% off coupon code from a friend who's dad works...

Great advise has been given so far... protein shakes, peanut butter... and more protein and carbs. Personally, I like brown rice since it doesn't take much to add up the calories and carbs... add some cheese! You just need to be taking in more calories than you are burning each day. 1.5g of protein per pound of bodyweight is really for gaining muscle,...

ARCHIVED Any Ideas On Stabilizing The Weight Once Going Gluten Free?
Switch2GF replied to T.H.'s topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Unless you have some other serious unknown problem, your body is just like anyone else's when it comes to weight. Calorie intake vs. calories burned. Your current diet looks really healthy and depending on your portions, you could be at a calorie deficit. It seems a lot of people lose weight when going gluten free, 'cause they don't know what to... -
ARCHIVED Test Say Positive/No Symptoms ?
Switch2GF replied to beksmom's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
A couple weeks later... I'll reiterate, YES I'd suggest an endoscopy also, just to be 100% sure. I didn't show ANY symptoms when I was 19, but was tested because it runs in my family and my sister was just diagnosed. It took a few years, but my symptoms finally showed. In the mean time, my body was not healthy and I was promoting cancer. I'd get... -
I didn't have the typical stomach symptoms of celiac. Long story short: I was diagnosed while in college, but due to enjoying the college life, I never stuck with the gluten free diet. A few years later when my life slowed down, I realized something wasn't right. I was tired all the time, very forgetful, not in a good mood, and lethargic. I almost thought...

Lots of good questions in this thread. Have you tried pills before? There is no pill for celiac or gluten. Eating gluten free is the only prescription. This all depends on the condition of the person's intestines and body. Your intestines will heal over time if you are 100% gluten free. The length of time could be 3 months to years...

I think we all can agree with that statement of "gluten free food doesn't taste good." At first, this is usually the case. Stick with it. gluten-free food quality has come a long way in the past couple of years and is still getting better. I continually preach to "go back to the basics." Stick with your fruit... but maybe not as much. Add in some...

ARCHIVED Bodybuilders Diet Advice Please
Switch2GF replied to whattodo's topic in Sports and Fitness
I love Nectar protein by Syntrax. They claim to be the best tasting protein on the market, and I concur on all of their flavors. Nectar is 23g protein, 0g carbs, 0g sugar, 0g fat, so it is great for a weight loss or healthy diet. If you are looking to put on weight they offer a few other options, which I have not tried. I have friends who have tried... -
ARCHIVED Las Vegas--where To Eat On The Strip?
Switch2GF replied to CantEvenEatRice's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
When I am in Vegas, every day for lunch I eat at Chipotle! You always know you are going to get great food and it is gluten free. It is located next to Harrahs in the middle of the Strip. (sorry to bring up an old topic... I searched for Vegas) -
ARCHIVED gluten-free Iphone App
Switch2GF replied to collins146's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Does this App have to be connected to the internet to use it? I have an iPod Touch, but no iPhone. I guess there is a chance some grocery stores have a cafe and wifi. -
I called the blood work a first screening, because, like you know, it really can't be used to officially diagnose celiac, but it is a good start. You will have to eat gluten the days prior to the blood work, so that they have some antibody to look for. If you weren't eating gluten, then the test would show up negative because your body isn't fighting gluten...

Eating gluten free is an extremely healthy way to live... celiac or not! There are lots of people who adopt the diet just for the benefits. You are cutting out a lot of unhealthy and/or processed foods and thinking twice about everything you eat. My guess is NO, you don't have celiac, but are just getting the healthy benefits from eating a healthy...
