ok, she said she got the flour at the BB in Quinte, and that the gluten-free section is entirely removed from the regular gluteny section. I feel a little bit better, but I still think I will give it to my Celiac friend who isn't afraid of carbs

absolutely, not all carbs are created equal. However, grains, whether oats or rice, are still going to raise your blood glucose levels considerably, and whether or not you're diabetic, this is NOT a good thing. One serving of oats 103.38 grams of carbohydrates with only 16.5 grams of fiber for a net carb impact of 86.88 (or if you prefer the Glycemic Index...

depends how much damage was done while she was eating gluten, and what she's eating in place of gluten. Most "gluten free" foods are nutritionless carbohydrates, that are not going to help anyone lose weight ever. They're made from white rice, potato starch, tapioca starch, and copious quantities of sugars. There's no fiber, there's no vitamins, there...

[rant] well, the dizziness continues, and I have been for so many tests and appointments at the TGH ENT/Balance clinic at my last appointment the doctor suggested I may need to see a psychiatrist because they just can't find anything wrong with me. I'm about to give up with all medical doctors entirely and maybe just go find a shaman in the jungles of deepest...

I didn't try gluten free oats until more than a year after going gluten free. Two reasons, I couldn't find any certified gluten-free oats anywhere, and they're way too high in net carbs for my liking! Now I eat them only on occasion, and usually only when I'm baking something for Grove feasts, when I can't use nut flours due to other members who have severe...

I don't know which store she bought it in, I will have to ask her. The only Bulk Barn I've been in since diagnosis had the gluten free flours directly UNDER the gluteny flours, with a shared! scoop! so I've just avoided them all for fear of cross contamination.

there are a few local chapters of Celiac Association in BC, have you asked any of them for info? Open Original Shared Link

For a recent family lunch, a cousin of mine went to bulk barn, saw some gluten free all purpose flour and decided "oh, I'll make Becky some gluten free bread for our lunch!". Which she was going to go home and make in her bread maker, where she makes her regular bread every day! (I have since educated her on cross contamination from bread machines) But...

I've seen powdered coconut milk somewhere.

I have cold cold cold feet and hands too, feet mostly, and I just can't warm them up, doesn't matter what the temperature is in my house. I went to a rheumaologist with my laundry list of symptoms, and she said it can't be Reynaud's because my feet and hands are not blue I read somewhere that not even half of patients have blue extremities I do get...

are you sure it's muscle spasm and not acid reflux or hiatal hernia? Just by the area where you say it is primarily makes me wonder. 200mg might be too much, it might not be enough. Everyone is different. In large doses though, magnesium can cause diarrhea, so be careful. If it is muscle spasm, you may also need to manage all your electrolytes...

if you do in fact have Hashimoto's, as well as Celiac disease, then yes, going gluten free can improve your Hashimoto's, but it's not going to make it go away. I don't know if Hashi's can go into remission, anyone know? I doubt it would so quickly though! However, treatment with thyroid replacement meds *can* send your thyroid into hyper, which is what...

My friends who have anaphylactic reactions ask me if Celiac disease is the same thing. I say no, it's not an allergy, it's an auto-immune disease, and will cause a slow painful death if I continue to eat gluten. Which is true. Untreated Celiac disease leads to all sorts of other diseases, up to and including cancer. It's not a visible disease like anaphylaxis...

depending which province you're in RaeRae, you may be in for a *very* long wait!

with continuous glutening over the past 2 months, you're going to continue to have problems unfortunately. The only thing you can do is be more vigilant, and wait for healing.
