  1. Hello, I've been looking for a safe masarepa (or precooked cornmeal for arepas) but have yet to find one. The most popular, P.A.N., states that it may contain trace amounts of wheat and oats. The other popular one I've heard of is by Goya. When I emailed them about their product "Masarepa Blanca" I received the following response: "Thank you for contacting...

  3. Any chance of bumping this thread? Or maybe nobody uses Nutiva products? If anyone has any experience with any of their products I would really appreciate some feedback.
  4. Hi Everyone, In addition to Celiac Disease it appears as though I have some kind of milk reaction and I get severe stomach aches when I take my normal whey protein powder (which is specifically marked gluten free). So I've been looking into some alternatives and found that rice, gemma, and hemp powders to be the most recommended. I was also referred...
  5. I'm looking into adding gluten-free and dairy-free protein into my diet and recently came across Nutiva Hemp Protein Powder on Amazon. I was also hoping to use their chia seeds because they are very reasonably priced compared to Whole Foods. I emailed the company asking if they use any shared equipment or facilities with gluten foods and got the response...
  6. He didn't really mention how different they were compared to before, but he did mention that antibody levels are an inexact science so it's hard to say if it even means anything. I've been using the same wooden utensils, and recently I've been covering the baking sheets. I don't use a toaster or a colander for anything so no problem there. I switched...
  7. So just to follow up on this thread, my GI just left me a message that my recent blood work came back. Apparently, despite my best efforts, I'm somehow still getting glutened. I haven't eaten in a restaurant in weeks and I've prepared my food myself the whole time, there's no way I'm directly eating anything with gluten. He said that my levels were definitely...
  8. Ordered! Thanks for the recommendation, only $6.50 on Amazon!
  9. Also, is there a preferred brand anybody has? I usually try and buy stuff on Amazon because 2-day shipping is free, is there anything in particular I should look for? Or should I just get some from Whole Foods?
  10. What exactly does this "methyl" mean? I just saw a Nature's Bounty Sublingual B-12 2500 mcg at Costco. It doesn't say "methyl" anywhere on there, does that mean I should skip it? On the label it says "Vitamin B-12 (as Cyanocobalamin)." I assume I want one that says "as methylcobalamin?"
  11. Thanks for the tip, I'll have to check into this as well. Let us know after a while if this seems to be working for you!
  12. As terrible as that is for you, I'm a little glad to hear I'm not alone. Actually mine has been getting better the past few days. I'm thinking it's a result of taking probiotics and just allowing time to heal. I'm also taking digestive enzymes, but just the papaya & pineapple ones sold at Trader Joe's. Although I've cut so much out of my diet...
  13. Thank you for posting. I don't think I've had anything with soy in it for a couple of weeks now. I haven't eaten any processed foods recently and I haven't added soy to anything so I should be good there. I only use olive oil so I haven't had any vegetable oil either. Hopefully this healing process just hurries up a little... it's getting old already...
  14. Hi Everyone, I'm nearing my 3 month mark of being gluten free and for the past 10 days or so I have not had dairy, eggs, spicy food, or coffee. The reason for cutting all of that out is that I've had this nagging, kind of "burning" feeling a couple of inches above my belly button. It kind of comes and goes throughout the day and isn't really painful...
  15. Thank you very much for the detailed response, IrishHeart. I had read a recommendation somewhere for the Trader Joe's "Papaya & Pineapple Enzymes" so I went and picked some of those up yesterday and have been taking them with breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I also just started taking my probiotic last night so I'll have to give these some time before...
