    Thanks Claire, cool link. More about the gluten and casein as glue thing... yikes.

    Hi Jo Ann, I get really bloated and sluggish after eating corn. I used to eat as little as possible, but couldn't resist corn chips or the occasional corn tortilla. However, after reading about how similar corn and soy (my other problem food) are to the gluten and casein (dairy) proteins in Open Original Shared Link, I have just cut it out for good...

    You're right, the gluten-free replacement foods (ie: gluten-free versions of gluten foods) are expensive. What I do is mainly stick to naturally gluten-free stuff - fish, meat, eggs, veggies, fruit (not dairy for me but I used to have that too). Dark chocolate. Wine. Coffee. I will bake some gluten-free bread maybe once a month, but on the whole I...

    One of my female cousin's had hair loss due to "stress" a few years ago... She was only in her 30's. It grew back, but it just backs up my feeling that my entire family is riddled with undiagnosed gluten intolerance.

    Hehe - sorry! I was having fantasies of starting the first ever Gluten Intolerant Porsche Owners Club!

    Welcome to the site bk. Glad to hear you got a diagnosis - now the recovery can start and you can get on with feeling well. Please let me know if you've got any questions about diet, etc. Most of us on the board felt like you do in the beginning, it's a steep learning curve, but it gets really easy really fast, especially as you start to feel better...

    Good to hear about wasabi - I was never sure on that one. What about pickled ginger? I'm wary of anything pickled incase it's malt vinegar. I expect it's rice vinegar in this case though, right? LOVE ginger.

    Joann, sorry to change the subject, but do you drive a Boxster by any chance (jrom987) ? Or am I clutching at straws?!

    My buckwheat was actually part of an organic 'live' granola made by 'Go Raw'. Ingredients: Sprouted Organic Buckwheat Groats, Sprouted Organic Flax Seeds, Organic Raisins, Organic Date. The packet said 'No Wheat/Flour' but didn't say gluten-free. They make their products by hand, so the cross-contamination could've happened during mixing/packing even...

    Tiffany, I love your posts! You always have a load of ideas but they make me hungry!

    My casein test kit from Enterolab arrived, so I figured now was as good a time as any to risk a caseining and try another 'casein free' whey bar! Ate the bar 45 mins ago. Have a low level headache and shoulder/back ache that came on within 15 mins of eating it. 15 mins after that I got heartburn. Nothing reeeally bad - not enough to take a painkiller...

    It's not true. If you have celiac disease and eat gluten, you will be doing your body serious harm. That never changes. Perhaps the confusion lies in cases were people don't have any outward symptoms, so they feel ok after eating gluten - but they still shouldn't do it, it will be damaging them. Or perhaps these people were merely wheat sensitive and...

    Of course Susan - crab sticks! I forgot about that one... From experience I have another piece of advice: If dining with others, request that your food is served on it's own plate. I have had a gluten-free meal ruined because all the fish was brought on the same big plate and someone else's eel sauce leaked all around the plate.

    Ooh - I've found one! Open Original Shared Link They have a load of low-carb gluten-free recipes. They all use their own brand of 'baking aid' though... bit weird. It's gluten-free, but it would be nice if you didn't need it. Maybe just use some xanthan gum and baking powder.

    No I'm female, but I still love my Aqua Teens! That dog is amazing!...

    Ahh of course - you're right. I read that here before. Sorry!

    ARCHIVED Sushi?

    cornbread replied to Puckster's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    The safest bet is sashimi - just straight fish. It's expensive though. Any rolls that just have fish, rice and seaweed are fine. Just make sure there are no sauces. Most of the Japanese sauces contain some soy sauce. I usually just get sashimi but if I'm in the mood for rice, I'll get any plain fish/veggie rolls or nigiri (slice of fish on top of rice...

    I had enterolab's Gluten/Casein Sensitivity Stool and Gene Panel Complete. The gene test showed one celiac marker gene and one gluten sensitive gene. However, I had already gone gluten-free for 5 months prior to the test, and the antibody tests were negative. Enterolab thought this would have more to do with me maybe being IgA deficient than being gluten...

    I probably should. Or maybe just Meatwad!

    Hi again I would think the best place to start would be figuring out which gluten-free flours are low carb. I know for one that almond flour is (it's just ground almonds). Flax meal/flour is 0 net carbs as the fibre matches the carbs. So maybe get a good bread recipe and play around with substituting with those flours? I'm looking for a...

    I don't *think* I reacted... I wanted to give it a few days before I posted as such. It was weird - when I opened the wrapper, before I'd even taken a bite my heart started racing! It was totally psychological, knowing that one bite might make me ill. I don't think it did, although it's been a little confusing as I managed to gluten myself last night...
  22. cornbread
    Keep a careful eye on how you are reacting to the other two 'glues' too - soy and corn. I was amazed to read Open Original Shared Link because I have developed intolerances to those exact foods, one after the other.
  23. cornbread
    It's been suggested that I may be IgA deficient. Does anybody know where I can get tested for this? Ideally an online test that I can do at home and send in, but alternatively what to ask a doctor for. Thanks.
  24. cornbread
    How about an Enterolab test? I know they test from diaper samples, so presumably the test is reliable for babies. www.enterolab.com
  25. cornbread
    It should do. I used to get waves of nausea out of nowhere - I'd be really hungry, sit down for dinner and then "urgh, I can't eat this!..." As soon as I went gluten-free that stopped. I hope it does for you too, there's not much worse than feeling like that around food.
