    As part of my Master's thesis, I'm researching high protein, low carb vs. high carb, low protein on student achievement and I have read a lot of articles but have found very few that related to topics like gluten. I know from experience if I'm exposed to gluten I'm more likely to suffer from brain for and as a child (pre-gluten knowledge) I was in trouble...

    I agree with killernj13, both works well for me--finally! once I got my head around the fact that just because I couldn't eat one Krispy Cream Donut that I could eat a whole a whole box of gluten-free donuts. I like the meetings for the accountability but I like the online resources because it's easier to calculate points of my gluten-free recipes. Good luck...

    Thanks for all the replies everyone. My TSH was 1.92 and the Albumin was normal. I guess I was associating the low cholesterol with low fat absorption (thus low rate of absorption of fat soluble vitamins)The only abnormal numbers were low WBC 3.4 (range 4.8-10.8) Low segmented neutrophil 44 (range 50-70) and high lymph 54 (20-40). My B12 was high at 998 ...

    I have been gluten-free for a couple of years now, all of my cooking is gluten-free and I rarely go to restaurants or eat at friends. My dr. called and wanted to do blood work just to check on my thyroid and just general health. Today her nurse called to set up a follow up but she's going to be out of the office for a couple of weeks. The nurse was kind enough...

    Thanks so much for all the wonderful suggestions especially the elimination plan and the possible link to salicylates. I can't do much about the baby aspirin until I speak to my cardiologist because of the weird heart rhythm I've had to deal with--evidently the baby aspirin will help in the prevention of a stroke? I plan on beginning the elimination diet...

    I'm so tired, most nights I'm awake by 3:30 and either can't go back to sleep or stumble into and out of sleep for the next hour or so till I'm so frustrated I just get up. For about the last 6 months I'm waking up almost everyday with a headache and my the bones in my legs feel like I've slept on concrete all night I'm exhausted when I go to bed but almost...

    I struggle making traditional pie crust before becoming gluten-free and always relied on the supermarket for ready made crust. I don't have access to gluten-free pie crust now and found this recipe online which I used for the first time last year. It is extremely easy to work with and I roll between two sheets of plastic wrap which makes it easy to place...

    I could have written the initial post. Last week we had planned on eating at RT before going on to the movies. We were given the allergy menu, discussed our order with the waiter and was shocked to have our burgers arrive on buns, the excuse from the management being there are no buttons on the register to specify gluten-free! WTF. By this time we didn't...

    I really don't like Bob's Red Mill, it has a off taste to me. I keep two different ones on hand--Namesta All-Purpose and Pamela's Baking and Pancake Mix. I now use Pamela's exclusively for cookies, muffins, and cakes with Namesta for breads. I made blueberry muffins and gingersnap cookies over the weekend and none of our guest knew the difference. I haven...

    I am a lifetime ww who fell off the wagon. When the gluten-free lifestyle was thrown into my life I really struggle with my weight. I felt it took so much of my energy to make sure that I was eating gluten-free that I really didn't care about the calories (or points) and most prepared gluten-free products are very high in calories and fat. The meetings which...

    I did not try flipping, although especially on the parchment this would be very easy to do, I'll try that next time. I did not use cornmeal as the dough is so very sticky that it would not be a benefit--the taste is wonderful though. I have extra left over from last night so I'm going to try reheating on the grill tonight.

    I have a great pizza crust I really like using a gluten-free flour blend however I can't get the bottom of the crust to get crispy. I've tried pre-baking, on aluminum foil, directly on rack, on parchment paper and I still can't get it to crisp up. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.

    I am struggling to take the daily vitamins my doctor recommends and wonder how many I am actually absorbing. A couple of weeks ago I had a friend over who is five years post gastric bypass. She uses a vitamin powder which she adds to water. Has anyone tried these in place of the the handful of pills many of us take? If so did they help?

    Ditto the last post, actually the only way I know that I've been glutened is when I develop a migraine a couple of hours after.

    I have a recipe for Luscious Lemon Cake using Pamela's Baking and Pancake Mix which I don't have, I do however have Namaste Perfect Flour Blend. Does anyone know what I would need to add to my Namaste to substitute?

    Thanks for all the replies, the B-12 I use and although I hate to add another vitamin I'll give Biotin a try. You would think that if our diet got better overall they would become "normal"

    I've had nail issues for at least ten years or more--very noticeable longitudinal ridges,uneven growth and thickness, peeling. My diet has been gluten-free for over a year now and I take a lot of gluten-free vitamins and for the last two months I have been on Levothyroxin. For years I was told by doctors that my nail issues were probably genetic (although...

    Since you have already made plans and you know where the children are going, you could check to see if your friends have room in their freezer and put your things there now. That would be one less thing you would need to worry about. For my college age son I make pizza that he can take back and freeze till needed. I also make taco meat that he can keep frozen...

    I am having something similar, if you are like me the irregular beat is probably occuring all day you just are not aware of it. My doctor had me wear a halter monitor for 48 hrs and when I had over 3,000 "incidents" during that time. I was immediately sent on to a cardiologist where they ran stress test and ultrasounds and he said everything is fine even...

    Thanks for the info, I am going to speak to the pharmacy again tomorrow to see if they will perhaps try this brand. Hope it helps

    I was given generic levothyroxine by Lannett. I checked their website and their inactive ingredients, along with lots of color additves are Inactive Ingredients Colloidal silicon dioxide, lactose, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, corn starch, acacia and sodium starch glycolate. I don't have issues with lactose but I don't know what acacia...

    Thank you, I will recheck everything else I'm using but as I mentioned before that is the only thing new. If I can't identify anything else I may ask that the pharmacy use another manufacture to fill my prescription to see if that helps. Thanks again

    About a week and a half ago my doctor put me back on thyroid medication after looking at all my numbers and not just the "normal" TSH. As I had used thyroid meds for many years in the past I'm excited about having some energy again and hopefully my weight will either stabilize or drop instead of this constant creeping up. My question is has anyone had any...

    Someone on this sight has put the link to this crust but I lost the link but had already added the recipe to my gluten-free cooking file. I make two, then freeze the second after adding the toppings. I use Namasta all purpose flour and just one of the little packs of yeast.
