    Hi Greg You have a wonderful outlook. And its not over til its over.... lots of people survived cancer with chemo & radiation. Just keep your positive outlook blooming. I believe our destiny was routed at birth so I believe you are correct. It isn't about quantity it is about quality of life that matters. And as someone else mentioned we all are...

    I forgot to mention also trying enzymes/probiotics to help digest that food as well. years ago when a friend had un-digested food a doctor told her to try 2tbsp vinegar & in a 8oz glass of water .... it worked for her! mamaw

    I don't have an answer but I know when one eats heavy ,starchy foods they bloat more. Have you tried grazing instead of three big meals a day? Grazing has become a way of life for many...... mamaw

    Hello You are so welcome! When I started gluten-free years ago I had no one to help me so I do understand. That is why I run a gluten-free ministry in my area. I do a lot of gluten-free marketing for companies & gluten-free taste testing... I only eat the cream of the crop... there is still really bad tasting foods out there so I can lead you to...

    hello & welcome Here's some of the things I tell my newbies ... Take a deep breath. It is natural to go through grieving & get angry. Do not ever cheat ( you will never stop once you start) Start out with foods that are naturally gluten-free. Ie: plain (naked) meats, fruits & veggies no sauces , marinades, or coatings. You can add...

    I've read the book & I don't buy all of it! But I do believe that O blood is the oldest blood type & at the beginning there was not wheat or grains so we were always meat eaters. I'm O-,three family members O- & we all are celiac, father was A & I suspect he was not d'xd correctly & he was celiac as well. He presented with almost all...

    Greg I'll be praying for you. I never thought I would say I wished for gluten intolerance or celiacs for another person but in your case I, if given a choice for you would have taken celiac. You are so kind to warn others & we all Thank You . Modern medicine has come a long way so we will pray for a best recovery possible for you... Please keep...

    You sound like you have come to the reality point of all your medical issues. I'm glad that you now have decided you can do this & down the road you will regain your whole life except for the nasty wheat...... WAY TO GO!!!!!!! At some point I think we all felt lost but we all found our way & you will too. Progresso makes gluten-free soups, a easy...

    Hi again I wish to give you a big hug!!!!! You are going through a lot these days... You are so right that doctors used to tell people that at some point they could go back on wheat as the doc told your mother. He was so wrong but back twenty years ago they did not know any better...hard lesson to learn. Not that its right but many people I know have...

    pnltbox27 Everyone's knowledge is valued here.....you say you have no ill effects from gluten. I understand that many never feel the effects of gluten or being glutened but at some point someone ( doctor or yourself) found something was not right with your body be it anemia, thyroid issues or a ton of other issues. You loose years in life if you have...

    Does your Mother know what she is doing to her body by not following the gluten-free diet? Does she care? You didn't say what part of Ohio you are from but there are several support groups in Ohio plus a few gluten-free shops I already mentioned. Many people are in denial & many or most go through some initial stages of grief as in loosing a loved one...

    Momma Goose gave good advice... I believe in being sincere & honest. I get invited out a lot & after explaining my food whoes most understand... I always try to make a dessert that everyone can share & that seems to open up the door to discuss Celiac & gluten intolerance... several people I know went after a evening' got tested & found...

    To those who feel cheating is okay because they have little or no ill effects I have one question... Can you actually see into your intestines to see what is going on in there?Can you see if a cancer is brewing ? I'm just curious .... Cheating is never worth the price of health. Sorry I'm gluten-free for life the only way to go in my book. Plus how...

    Why in the world would you want to go off this lifestyle when you know it will make you sick? Well, that is just SICK!!!!!! This lifestyle is not a horrible diet, I think you are just craving things that you haven't found a sub for or at least I hope that is the problem. If you cheat once you will cheat again. Just like a school child. SO if that is what...

    Where are you in Ohio? There are several good places to shop gluten-free. The Raisin Rack is in Canton & Columbus. Jungle Jim's In cincinnati. Just to name a few.

    A wheat allergy is just that --- an allergy. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease. I believe it said wheat allergy. I stay away from wheat grass , barley grass per my doctor. Some say it is okay because it is cultivated before the flower appears. I would not take a chance... hth mamaw

    Hi & Welcome If you plan on getting tested you must stay on gluten to get proper results... if you choose to just start the gluten-free lifestyle without testing that is up to you. But to see results you must be 100 % at all times...no cheating. You said you need to buy foods already prepared as you have no time to cook & bake. Here are a few...

    Hello Any scratched pots & pans or utensils will need to be replaced...wooden spoons , plastics, anything porous needs to be replaced. Toaster, mixer, bread maker & things like that.. there is no way to clean gluten from the mixer vents or a toaster. I at times still use reg flour to bake for family who are not gluten-free .... I keep this reg...

    Hello & Welcome Please do not make your daughter feel like she is different from other kids. SHe is exactly the same but her eating habits are going to be different to the extent that other grains will be used to replace wheat. By telling her she cannot eat like other kids will cause emotional issues. & stress.. Our grandkids stated being gluten...

    I find when I buy the crackers at Whole Foods they are more intact. But much cheaper at Amazon.... but many are broken. I think it is the way they are tossed around in the warehouse. Amazon handles so much of everything. I guess you get more whole crackers by buying at the store level or you buy at a better price & eat broken crackers!!!!! What a choice...
