    Have you tried quinoa Open Original Shared Link or amaranth Open Original Shared Link My understanding is that they are not actually grains but seeds.Both are gluten free. Both are high in protein and are a complete protein.

I do not care for meat...

    Well that just stinks ,,but I do appreciate the information.. I would rather know what is going on so i can avoid as much iodine as i can, or at least know why my DH is worse at times .. I wish i knew how to balance it all

    When I has first diagnosed it took me a bit to become strict with my food,,going gluten free was very overwhelming for me at the time,, Once i became gluten free and i was feeling better I though "well it might not really effect me as much as i though" I cheated ONCE, never,never ever again !!!My reaction was Much WORSE than i remembered.....

    I feel like such a newbie,,I knew about my B12 and Vit D levels but i never would have though to ask about magnesium .. Doesnt help that my doc has never seen a case of celiac's (diagnosed) before ,The only reason she ordered the biopsy was because i insisted after my daughters were diagnosed .. I am already learning so much in these forums. Thanks guys
