    Thanks all, for your replies. I discovered that those that are intolerant to wheat are also intolerable to Bromelain. And sure enough, I cannot handle taking Bromelain. So I was thinking that perhaps there are other plants/herbs that give off the same reaction.

    Hello all, Does anyone know if camomille is safe for celiacs? Is there any info somewhere that lists which herbs that could be reactive for gluten intolerant individuals? I'm getting more and more scared about what I can touch or eat. Please help!

    I have a few questions about yeast. I'm confused as to whether all yeast are naturally gluten-free or there a different types of yeast. I want to do more baking but not sure which yeast is safest. I recently used the Active Dry Yeast, and I did not react well to it, tremendously bloated. Has anyone else had any negative reactions ? I've recently seen...

    VydorScope, Believe it or not, there are actually people out there who speak languages other than English, and would not turn away from looking in to a product with a "foreign" name. You are lucky that you have had success with your bread machine of your choice, while not having to spend as much $. I agree with much of Jaten's reasoning for the purchase...

    I was at a major grocery store chain, and they were giving out samples of a new brand of potoato chips. I asked "do they contain gluten?" The demonstrator said "oh Yes , it contains potatos. you cannot eat them!" I was at an somewhat upscale contemporary restaurant downtown, and I order a duck dish, which they specificially said they could make without...

    Thx for the tips. good to know that Giovanni is gluten-free, I'll had that one to my list. California Baby , didn't think of using baby shampoo, good idea. I love the Aubrey skin care line, shampoos look good too. A general question: I find that my skin was particularly dry, before going gluten-free. Did anyone else find that?

    Hi Jefferyd, I'm familiar with the area too, and psawyer has summed it up well. There is another awesome place I love to go to, called Restoran, it's a Malaysian restaurant, located at the SE corner of Major MacKenzie and Bayview, in the same plaza as McDonalds. They serve the best south east asian food. It 's family run business, and the owners...

    Hi everyone, I recently discovered that Bulk Barn store, has Gluten-free bins. They have clear labels of which item, such as brown rice flour, that is Gluten free, and tag the scoops, to identify them for gluten-free use. So I think they really tried hard to cater to those in need for gluten-free baking. It seems like a great way to buy gluten-free...

    jkmunchkin, you are so lucky to find a place that actually serves gluten-free chinese food! I miss Chinese food soooooo much, and maybe it has something to do with me being Asian But here in Toronto (Canada), I have yet to find an eatery that will make gluten-free chinese dishes. Maybe I'll have to drive across the border, for some good NY food...

    I am in the process of trying to use all wheat/gluten free shampoos and bath gels. I thought I was the only one feeling that way. I was using Druide lavender bath gel, it contains wheat protein, which I only realized after I experienced increased itching and dryness all over, after my showers. I also share the feeling that it's better to eliminate...

    For those of your searching for bread maker: In my search for a bread machine, finally decided on the Zojirushi. Comparing the reviews for the Cuisinart and the Zoji, I saw there were more postive comments for the gluten-free baking using the Zoji. I've already tried 3 gluten-free recipes they recommend, and I have to say that I'm really impressed with...

    I am also looking for a bread machine and was considering the Cuisineart machine. The Zojirushi sounds great but kinda pricey. Does anyone know what characteristics to look for in a machine that will make good gluten-free bread? How long can we expect them to last? Hope you hear from you soon!

    Hey Bean, I am very, very intersted in nutritional supplements and things that can help. thanks very much for the tip and all the great info on Glutimine. I am definitely interested. I ordered the book dangerous grains, but still waiting for it to arrive. Thanks for taking the time.

    Hi Stephanie, I often get thinking about dextoxifying alot , when I'm feeling bloated and heavy. Then I 'm not sure if I'm just gaining weight or bloating or eating too much of the wrong thing, then I want to try fasting, or juicing or herbal cleanse, sauna, colonic....the list goes. But then before I can give it a real try, I get so wiped out, and tired...

    Hey thanks for your responses! You guys know so much! It's great. huummm...I can see that electro-dermal testing is limited in what it can do. I guess it'sonly good for allergy tests. I've always been a health -nut about diet and lifestyle, try to eat organic foods, eat good fats, avoid chemicals wherever. so I'm quite open to certain "alternative...

    Hi Everyone, I gotta a few quesitons I hope to get your feedback on. What do you think of ELECTRO-DERMAL testing? Do you think this is a good way to measure intolerance to grains? What do you think of LIVE BLOOD MICROSCOPY? Do you think this would be a good way to tell what deficiencies I might have? What do you think of this technique? My...

    celiac3270, Thanks for the tip. I will try it. What is the difference between guided mode and normal mode? Shirley, I'd love to meet Tammy's dog!! Is there a photo ?

    Could someone tell how to track my own posting? I noticed when I posted a message sometimes I would get a notice that there are responses to it, and then later, there would be responses to my message but I did not get an email notification. I'm still trying to figure out all stuff. thanks!

    Hi Bean, Talk too much? NO way, it's very educational and l appreciate you sharing your knowlegde. I'm still so new with this, trying to understand. And actually I was wondering the difference between allergy and celiac disease, just as I was reading your post. Now I suspect that I do have celiac disease, because I found that I was really not absorbing...

    Wow, I see myself in so many of you! I recently got my blood test results back, but they said that it's <20 for IgA and IgG , so I do not have celiac disease. But if Entrolab, says there should be nothing as a result for someone who does not have celiac disease , than does that mean that I could have it, even if my numbers are low? The diagnosis thing...

    I hadn't realized that going gluten-free was such tricky business til I started. I ate a wonderfully yummy organic chocolate bar, when half way through , I read on the label that it was made in a facilitythat uses wheat! So I kinda lied to myself, thinking maybe this bar didn't come into contact with it......because it tastes soooo good. So I ate the rest...

    Watkinson, I love how you explain what happens in the body of celiac disease persons. I always find it hard to explain what it is to other people. Does untreated celiac disease always lead to leaky gut syndrome? How do we heal our intestinal tract, other than going gluten-free? I'm in the middle of waiting for a diagnosis and getting very anxious...

    Hi Peaches, I totally understand the struggle with trying to get parents to understand. But after hearing about your previous eating disorder, I can see why they are so worried about you. however, I also see that pressuring you to eat, doesn't help to make eating a pleasureable experience. What about the other important things, like, how is your energy...

    Hi Peaches, Parents always have a hard time treating their children like adults. My diet has become too different from theirs, so I often eat separately. My digestion is better when I can eat quietly without people around talking about negative garbage. I guess "eat, eat , eat" mean "love,love, love". Is your appetite still poor after going gluten-free...
