    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 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...

    ARCHIVED New To Celiac

    Reba32 replied to RaeRae's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    depending which province you're in RaeRae, you may be in for a *very* long wait!
  15. Reba32
    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.
  16. Reba32
    going on and off the thyroid medications is certainly NOT helping you in the least! Those are types of medicines that IF your doctor thinks you no longer need them, you need to WEEN yourself from them, not go cold turkey! And certainly don't just start back up again without proper doctor support. It could well be BOTH celiac and hashimoto's. They are...

    the eye makeup remover is put to your eye via your fingers, (even if it's on a cotton pad) and then fingers can come into contact with your mouth, so yeah, even if it's not getting into the mucous membranes of your eyelids, it could still very well be getting into your mouth. I had a couple of really nice body lotions that had wheat germ in them when I...

    when you're grocery shopping, stick to the outside aisles only. Fresh veggies and fruits, meats, and real cheese (not velveeta or processed "cheez food"). Stay away from the inside aisles and the manufactured foods, that come in pressed paper boxes or shiny crinkly plastic. The only "packaged" foods you should have are canned fish, like tuna, or salmon...

    it does seem like an awful lot of manufactured foods, which are generally void of nutrients of any kind, and full of preservatives and chemicals and artificial this and that. Stick with whole REAL foods. Nothing that comes out of a pressed paper box, or in a shiny crinkly plastic bag. Nothing with ingredients lists longer than 2 or 3 ingredients. Peanut...

    I use a coffee grinder to make nut meals (it doesn't get it fine enough to call it flour). I also use a small food processor, or my big food processor, depending how much I'm doing. I want to get a flour mill attachment for my KitchenAid mixer though.
  23. Reba32
    why do you say that if you admit you have Celiac disease it would keep you from getting a job there? That seems a bit extreme, unless the company uses gluten in their products, which would be most definitely contributing to your poor job performance, and you're better off NOT working there. At all! Regardless of how well the rest of your family does/did...

    holy geez is that ever true! When I moved from North Carolina back to Ontario, I got a copy of my chart from my GI, and some of the crap that was in there was not even true! She noted in my chart from my first appointment that we had "discussed other options, such as MRI, and CT scan to diagnose Celiac and patient requested endoscopy" Bald faced LIE! ...

    it's good information on an anti-inflammatory diet, but I really don't think that eventually you can eat wheat in any form ever again.
