    I am gluten and casein intolerant and one of my roomates cooked mashed potatoes in MY pot. The back label said it may contain traces of wheat, but it certainly contained milk. should I buy a new pot or is there too little to worry about.?

    I am casein intolerant and I was told by a doctor that because their is 0 protein in butter, that it is ok to eat. I can't help feel that he is wrong, but why is he wrong? Can anybody help me out?

    vietnamese, thai, indian and african food have a lot of options for us gluten and casein sensitive people. you would have to explore the cuisine to see what you might like, but i think you would have the more luck with these ethnic foods most other stuff you might find. vietnamese and thai food are quite similar, i have never seen them use dairy, and the...

    Thank you Ali, That was a very informative reply. It bothers me that I seem to be receiving conflicting advice like needing to gain weight by eating avocado, coconut, other nuts, while also being told that I have a slow metabolism and should limit even healthy fats and starches as much as possible. What I do not understand is how my test results yielded...

    So I think I have quite a problem. I think that I have Candida issues but also have gluten/casein restrictions. I need to gain weight, but also need to heal my stomach. I have spoken with a holistic doctor who told me I needed to eat 6 mini meals because my stomach cannot handle much food at one time. Also, I received a hair analysis test that told me...

    ARCHIVED Panera

    kdonov2 posted a topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Just thought I would share with the rest of you. I went to Panera the other day to find out if their new barbeque chicken salad was gluten free. It turns out that I am also dairy free and I imagined that I would simply tell them to leave their ranch dressing off. As I explain my health concerns, the manager and cashier pull out their allergen booklet and...

    im casein intolerant and i have stayed away from it for a few months. its really hard to keep it up and it is also very expensive. i have heard of a few people making their exceptions and putting a little bit of cream in their coffee or a bit of butter on their toast. im wondering if anyone else does this. also, im wondering if cooking with dairy products...

    from my enterolab results i have tried to analyze one particular piece but cannot decipher quite what it means. "You have an autoimmune reaction to the human enzyme tissue transglutaminase, secondary to dietary gluten sensitivity." i realize i am gluten intolerant, but what is this "secondary" business? does that mean i have double the sensitivity...

    my gluten intolerance is autoimmunal and i have been told that it damages the intestines. if i have an igA level of 17 (above normal/elevated antibodies)for cow's milk reaction (casein), does that mean that this 'immunal' activity causes damage to my intestinal villi? when i eat dairy, i get bloated and it usually goes away by the next day, but thats the...

    my chinese doctor doesnt even believe in food intolerances. he laughed at me when i told him that western medicine had diagnosed me with gluten and casein intolerance. he told me that it was the quality and quantity of the product (except for dairy products, he thinks it should be completely eliminated from the diet). he told me i should eat unprocessed ...

    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    it seems like a catch 22 for me. im 30 lbs underweight and struggling to gain, yet i am also attempting to heal my gut with a detox diet, which renders weight gain impossible. i am not sure which way to go to be healthy because i know im technically not even a qualified candidate for the diet because i am not being supervised by a physician and i also have...
  13. kdonov2
    YES! this has happened to me and it now makes me very paranoid about being even remotely in the vicinity of glutenous foods. i am not celiac but have a rather intense gluten intolerance with autoimmunological reactions. before i realized i was so severe, i worked at panera bread and dismissed this as harmless as long as i did not consume any of the unsafe...

    thanks everyone. im going to take more preventative actions now around the kitchen and also stop taking risks. hope i am able to start getting better.

    my enterolab results said that i have sensitivity to gluten but also secondary to it, i have an autoimmune response to transglutiminase tissue.......i think i worded that properly. they told me that i do not posess the genes that predispose me to celiac but i have 2 of the alleles that predispose me to gluten sensitivity.
  16. kdonov2
    i have heard that people with celiac have such terrible reactions that they cant have any sort of sources of gluten in the house whatsoever. if i am not celiac, do i still need to be as cautious with my intolerance? i live with 3 non-gluten intolerant guys and all the silver and cook ware is shared. there are usually crumbs on the counter from them and they...

    thanks for the replies. i certainly do have a lot to think about now. i might try out the spices individually to find what spices i can have instead of depriving myself of all of them. i really hope its not the curry powder though, i love curry.
  18. kdonov2
    has anyone else ever had a reaction to McCormicks or Tone's (from Aldi) spices? the ones im specifically referring to are the ones i use in indian dishes such as curry powder, coriander, cardamom, turmeric, chili powder, paprika and cumin. i called the hotline for Tone's spices and they assured me that their spices were gluten free and i know that McCormicks...

    i didnt think lactaid would be a solution. well, im still curious as to what the consequences of consuming casein are. i do not have symptoms. what harm may be caused then? also, am i still able to have whey as long as casein is not present?
  20. kdonov2
    this is probably wishful thinking, but i was wondering if taking lactaid would help at all for casein intolerance. i have not noticed many symptoms, but my results came back positive. also, what are the consequences of ingesting casein if you dont have these symptoms? ah, i hate having so many sensitivities.

    i have been very underweight my entire life. i have a BMI of 15 but I'm short so i don't look quite so emaciated. i do however, get a ridiculous bloated belly after eating certain foods, sometimes even from non-glutenous foods. usually by the morning the swelling has gone down and my stomach is flat again. i also have never been able to build up much muscle...

    i bought the cereal bar form of it, but i think i would like the actual cereal with milk much better. the bars are far too sweet for my liking, probably because they are marketed more toward children. i must say, i did love reces peanut butter puffs.

    i have heard that it takes a while for the vili to heal and for your system to be able to adjust to certain foods again. i have been having trouble with nuts and nut butters, which i suppose may be a result of malabsorption of fats. if this is the case, what else should i be avoiding? i have heard i should stay away from casein as well. am i supposed to...

    thanks for the replies, even though i dont take in much fat to begin with, ill keep limiting my amount and i will try to do the same for protein. i do have another question about that though, does it matter what source the fat comes from? say, from an avocado as opposed to ice cream? im really craving guacamole and i had thought it be a good way to incorporate...

    i started a gluten free diet and i noticed that a few days into it, i felt absolutely awful. im so fatigued, and whats worse is that my stomach hurts so bad, its insane. in between the ribs, i feel like ive been punched. lower down near the intestines, my tummy feels very sore and the intestines feel inflamed and irritated. i no longer get the immense swollen...
