    Because I took up knitting after being diagnosed, I can definitely say it helped me cope with going gluten free. Before being diagnosed, I could eat anything and everything (or so I thought). I had lost over 100 pounds (not easy, I'm not one of those skinny gluten free gals) and learned to keep it off. I'm super, super sensitive and found I...

    Oooooh, I'm envious! I want to learn to spin eventually. Do you use a wheel? Has spinning helped you cope with living a gluten-free lifestyle?

    Peter, I agree with your wisdom. Any time I have a prescription OR any time I buy over the counter meds, the pharmacist has been able to help me make sure it is gluten-free. There is also glutenfreedrugs.com, but I prefer checking with a pharmacist in addition to useing glutenfreedrugs -- that way, I'm making double sure I'm getting the most up to date...

    Do you knit to help cope with a gluten-free lifestyle?

    Sorry everyone for my typo! The title line of this post should read DRY beans, not dru. Augh. I cannot figure out how to edit the title line. -- PS: Like magic, Peter saw this and fixed the title. Apparently, only a moderator can do it. Thank you, Peter!

    Sorry -- I am not sure what you mean about what gliadin test I had. As far as I know, there is only one that tests for the level of gliadin in the blood. For the information regarding IGA vs. IGG I would recommend you look at Dr. Stephan Wangen's book Healthier Without Wheat. Pay particular attention to page 111 (paperback version) that gives a chart...

    Whoo-hoo! Good to know. Thank you.

    Hi, Everyone: I posted this in an old, old thread that discusses dry beans. I am posting this under a new thread because those who tap into the old one might give up reading and miss this new info I discovered today, which may be important to those of you who, like me, are so highly sensitive to gluten that most store-bought dry beans cause a reaction...

    Everyone: Here is another source of gluten free dry beans -- just found it today. Their website shows the beans as being CERTIFIED gluten free, too. It is a website called NutsOnline. Open Original Shared Link The above link takes you to the beans that are certified gluten free -- be careful, they sell other varities of beans, which may not...

    I haven't tried the Rio Zapes -- I'll have to order some next time! Thanks.

    Update: I recently tried Rancho Gordo's flageolet beans, and they are excellent. They are a creamy, buttery, whitish color bean -- I'm addicted to them.

    My latest gliadin test results are back. I'm happy to report that my gliadin has dropped from 88 to 78! Whoo-hoo! The goal is to get it under 20. I am told this can take time for someone over 50 like myself. I'm healing slowly but surely. All the dedication is paying off!

    Darn, I remember the doctor talking to me about the older -vs- newer test -- I believe I've had both, but I am not sure. I remember there was one she used because, if I'm remembering this correctly, one is better if taking a look at gluten intolerance as opposed to celiac only . . . but I'll have to check on this. I have to call U of C in September for...

    Update: I had another check-up last week. Vitamin levels are good. I'm still waiting on gliadin results and will post them when I know. I asked about my DQ, and I am a double DQ6. I remember reading somewhere that those with double DQ6 are perhaps more prone to neuropathy, which has certainly been true with me. I treat my gluten-intolerance as seriously...

    Thank you! Check out my post No. 27 for an update! : ) You may have missed it.

    Masterjen: I have been out of town and just found this thread. I just wanted to add that you are in my prayers and best thoughts. Thank you for posting all you are going through. I -- all of us -- look forward to hearing every update. Sending love.

    I wonder how many others have experienced similar situations: Healed . . . screw up . . . everhthing is fine . . . but when you try it again, WHAM! I would love to know. I agree: I wouldn't put gluten in my mouth for anything. Nothing tastes as good as being healthy feels.
  18. Lynayah
    You are in my best thoughts, and I look forward to hearing how things are going for you. Hang in there. You have so much good to give the world . . . the better you feel, the more good you can give to others. : )

    WHAT A WONDERFUL POST!

    Thanks, daddypig. Which brand do you use?
  21. Lynayah
    Wow -- all of the replies here have been so thoughtful AND helpful! I'll add a longer post later (just got back from vacation), but I wanted to thank all of you right away. Here's a short update: Hubby and daughter were VERY supportive -- more later. As it turned out, the restaurant in question (which is a road-side, Food Channel "Drive-In,...

    What a wonderful post! Thank you for reminding us all of the importance of being on "the other side." What foods do you eat? What works for you?
  23. Lynayah
    I need everyone to be very honest with me. I need to know if the way I am feeling right now is selfish of me or not . . . My husband and I are going on vacation to be with our daughter. Today, hubby told me that he and our daughter might want to go to a very special restaurant where I can eat nothing safely. I told him that it would be wonderful if...

    Hi, I'm going to Sante Fe next week. Are there any other restaurants that have gluten free menus? I am particularly interested in finding gluten-friendly restaurants within walking distance of the old, historic shopping district. Thank you so much for any assistance!

    Alpha ENF sounds very interesting - thank you! I'm trying to find the ingredient list on the site and haven't found it yet. If you have a link to the ingredients, would you kindly post it?
