    I read that book too. Sugar is a disaccharide, and thus requires digestion. Honey and fruit are monosaccharides and are absorbed without needing to be broken down further. Works for me. You might give it a try and just see if you feel better.

    I also am new to Celiac, Jeep, and have found proper food combining to be very helpful. I feel like I've done a lot of experimenting lately to find out what is most comfortable on my gut. Elain Gottschall's book "Breaking the Viscous Cycle" has been helpful. Right now (having just found out about Celiac Disease about 6 weeks ago) my GI tract is so torn up...

    Actually Tiffany that's great to know, because at times I ovulate at very predictable intervals, but other months it's delayed by 1.5 to 2 weeks (frustrating as we use BBT as birth control also). I hadn't thought that eating something naughty by accident could be causing those delays. Hopefully I'll be back on schedule soon. As always, thanks for the info...

    Thank you all! OK, Tiffany, what I understand from your post is that the two main factors that cause infertility (whether that's in the form of miscarriages or not conceiving at all) are antibodies in the blood, and inability to extract enough nutrients from food to feed two people. Makes sense. Roxyk, I wish you the very best in your efforts. Sounds...

    I'm really needing some answers to this also... Since going gluten-free my body has become super sensitive. I know I need to take it easy and allow my GI tract to heal. Right now I can't even seem to handle things that are just more difficult to digest (corn, unfermented soy, fruit - too much fiber? - legumes, too many ingredients in one dish, or processed...

    Am I going to be infertile? Does it depend on how long I've been tearing up my intestines with gluten (aprox 27 years!) ? Are underweight women Celiacs infertile because of amenhorrea? About what % of us are infertile? I know lots of women with celiac disease have had successful pregnancies, but what makes the difference between a celiac who becomes...

    Some foods that are especially harder to digest are corn, pork (including bacon) and legumes. Might be best to avoid foods like that (and any others you seem to have problems with) just until your gut gets a little stronger. I'm really new to this too, and have found that eating simple foods are gentler on my gut.

    Medaka- have you tried eliminating anything other than gluten from your diet? Before learning about celiac disease, I assumed I was just lactose intolerant. Getting off all milk products brought me a little relief from symptoms, but that was it- just a little. Now being off gluten and casein my GI symptoms are pretty much gone. Maybe you are intolerant...

    I agree with Deb- no cheating!! The thing is, if you're on a diet say for weight loss and you splurge once in a while, you simply prolong the time it takes to reach your goal. No harm done. The reason you really shouldn't intentionally "splurge" on a gluten-free diet if you're celiac is that it always does harm to your body. Without fail. Sorry...

    REALLY good to hear. Thank you!

    For me the biggest help is remembering what their food does to me. That asiago cheese bagel with salmon cream cheese spread smells mighty good on its way out of the kitchen. It was one of my favorite habits to take a bite out of whatever I was bringing my husband, calling it a carrying fee. Even a tiny amount of gluten or casein will give me reactions for...

    I'm pretty sure I'm not digesting fats well (or much of anything else for that matter). The anemia thing might be something to look into as I've always tended toward that. Lately it seems a lot of things bother my stomach so I either drink water, eat rice or bland veggies. I ate a metric ton of carbs before (almost always complex tho), so maybe what I...

    I dreamt I had a cookie with one of my sprouted wheat sandwiches. The cool thing is, dreams don't get me sick. Hehe.

    I've been gluten-free (aside from two accidents, er.. "learning experiences") for 12 days now and am wondering if the stuff I've been experiencing is fairly typical. Aside from GI symptoms lessening (YAY!) and my skin looking a little better, some things about going gluten-free have not been pleasant. SHEESH! For all the hard work of starting a gluten...

    I wasn't able to shake the yeast infections until I got off the Pill. Plus I was tired of all the hormonal mood swings. My hubby and I aren't ready for kids yet and have found the rhythm method (charting bbt) suits us much better. Your doc might be able to suggest other forms of birth control if you're having problems with yeast and/or dryness.

    Thx celiac3270. It really does help IMMENSELY to know there are others out there who have lived in this strange Celiac world, survived, and are so kind about sharing stuff they've learned. Thank you! btw, Hubby has volunteered to pick up his own bagels from now on. hehe

    1.) A reaction to even the SMELL of bagels?? The other day I stopped in to Einstein Bros to pick up some bagels for my husband. While in line I watched as people carried their trays of sandwiches, panini, and bagels back to their tables to eat. I began feeling nauseated. By the time I got through the line and paid for my half-dozen, I thought I was going...

    I'm also a "casein-challenged" celiac. The tiniest bit of either gets me in trouble. Wild Oats or Vitamin Cottage usually has Gluten-free Casein-free chocolate chips, which satisfy a chocolate craving in a pinch. Last week I found a brand at Wild Oats called Tropical Source and they are soo tasty! Also, when I find myself craving inordinate amounts...

    Thanks all - and that stuffing looks very tasty. Will xanthum work to thicken a gravy?

    This will be my first gluten-free Thanksgiving and I am scared to death! My husband and I are going over to his parents' for dinner and there's so much it seems I can't eat (I'm allergic to milk & products as well). I'm planning on bringing a few of my own dishes, but is cross contamination inevitable at a gathering like that? Do people get offended...

    I'm new to Celiac (or rather, new to knowing I have it) and have found it very frustrating. Yesterday over at my mother-in-law's I ate some rice crackers from a jar also containing rye crackers. I didn't think it would be a big deal, but I paid for it all last evening, through the night and am still not at my best this morning. It's very frustrating...

    Hey Dude, I served an LDS mission but did not know I was celiac at the time. I was aware tho of milk allergies hypoglycemia and here's how it went: The MTC was very accomodating. The head cook knew me well and would make me any dish I wanted or buy me anything from any store/ health food store and have it ready by whatever time I asked him to. He...
