    I am a super senstive one, sadly. But the reaction I had to bobs red mill oats was ridiculous. I've had lesser reactions from using CC'ed toasters! I tested the freedom foods crunchola the other day, and I am happy to report no gluten reaction what so ever (I did have a small reaction to oats - I guess that means I'm an oat intolerant one, I'll test...

    Thanks for the heads up, I'll be sure to check it out! I'm planning to test oats again soon, last time bobs red mill ones didn't go down too well.

    First of all, get yourself a restaurant information card in spanish that explains celiac, laminate it, and carry it everywhere with you, they can be found by googling. Give it to them anytime you go to eat food. Ironically, resorts may be more difficult than paladares (private restaurants). In resorts, they will often carry western style food for their...

    The others have all made great suggestions so far. I don't feel deprived on this diet, in fact I eat better than anyone I know health wise, with more variety and probably more enjoyment than most people have. And when I feel like pancakes, I make myself pancakes, just healthy ones that taste great (complete with raspberries and a little bit of dark chocolate...

    I'm another one. I have a "break day" once every 3 months though. I don't eat starches for the most part either. If I'm running low on crabs for the day then I make fresh vegetable juice to up it, sometimes I eat a little bit of nuts afterwards to control my blood sugar. I didn't get it from a book or anything though, I came to this conclusion from...

    The others are right. I seem to be one of the few here who react to any kind of grain, but it's not the same thing as my reactions to gluten. I am definitely in the minority. I can handle a little bit of rice on the rare occasion, but to eat grains everyday, even if it was rice, would definitely have bad reactions for me. The likelihood of you being...

    I already know that. Many of us have IBS, gluten intolerance or others and gastro issues in general (probably about the 50% you stated).. We (ASD) are ten times more likely to have get celiac disease than the normal population. It is well recognised as a secondary link. The thing is that correlation does not equal cause. Just because they have a tenancy...

    ARCHIVED Autism Rising

    Kjas replied to sora's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    Prevalence and incidence rates are two different things. There are just to many factors at play right now to be saying we have any "answers". All we do know that there is a define genetic component. Most of the current data is skewed in some way. You have to take into account diagnosis methods (which differ worldwide), who is doing the diagnosis's ...

    Not entirely because of celiac. I have celiac disease and some pretty nice complications, Aspergers Syndrome (ASD) and some weird genetic crap going on which the medical field can't even classify. I don't think it's fair to have children just because I have a selfish desire to have them, knowing what their lives would be like (at least in the industrial...

    ARCHIVED Autism Rising

    Kjas replied to sora's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    Two other things to consider: 1) Autism was not even included in the DMS until 1980 as a diagnosis itself. Before that it was classified as under childhood schizophrenia if it was diagnosed at all. 2) Aspergers Syndrome, Retts and PDD-NOS where not included in the DMS until 1994. Considering those 2 things alone, is it any wonder the diagnosis rate...

    ARCHIVED Autism Rising

    Kjas replied to sora's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    Raven, Being diagnosed is not a bad thing, it's just like celiac, it depends on your attitude towards it. Some people will use it as a crutch, but those people are probably already using some other excuse as a crutch anyway. Quite frankly, it helped me stop feeling like a complete alien when I finally had a reason for the way I was since at least then...

    First of all, autism is a genetic condition, it is not caused by eating gluten. It is a neurological difference in the way one thinks and experiences the world. Gluten will make it worse if you already have a form of autism, but that's about it. (Just thought I should clear that up) I wouldn't have children. If I did (hypothetically speaking), I would...

    True but the people I am talking about, 9 of the group have been gluten-free for 8-15 years. The 3 are in the 4-8 years gluten-free category. About half of them are under 30. Even taking that into account, it stacks up in my personal experience. I am well aware of that slow decline, it becomes like a slippery slope. But at some point before the disease...

    I am not surprised by this at all. Of the 12 celiacs I have met, not one of them has healed to the point where they feel as healthy as they did before the celiac disease kicked in. I don't take multi vitamins but I make fresh vegetable juice with a little bit of fruit in it 3 times a day. I've tried not juicing or only doing one and I just don't get the...

    I don't know how sensitive you are, but I know some of the sunbeam packaged meals (the butter chicken etc) are gluten free. I think there is one or two in the frozen section that are also from other companies that are also, you might just have to do a lot of packet reading. Apart from that there's the expensive gluten free meals which are 10 bucks a...

    My irritants for food are gluten, dairy, soy and potato. They are the worst which produce a very obvious reaction although there are plenty of others which are too long to list here the main culprits being grains, legumes, starches and sugarcane, and obviously any kind of processed food, additives etc . Other irritants for me are anything chemical or synthetic...

    I've had the following: DH, contact dermatitis, really bad acne and hair loss. All of it has cleared up once I removed gluten and other irritants.

    The only oils I know that are safe to heat are macadamia oil and coconut oil. All the others, when heated past a certain point have the effect already stated. Macadamia oil can be heated to a medium - high heat without negative effects and I usually l use it in cooking, stir frying, etc since it has a nice, light and very yummy taste. Coconut oil can...

    I think it depends. When your system is screwed up a lot of people develop temporary intolerances. Once your are healed you will probably be able to tolerate them again. Also now that you're off gluten, the symptoms from other intolerances often become either worse, or more noticeable. Even if something is a temporary intolerance, it can still stop you...

    I agree with Skylark, coconut & almond flour have been my saviours. I even created my own christmas loaf using them. When I want snacks, I make mini muffins or cookies using almond or coconut flour, sometimes even pancakes. I have a sweet tooth, so occasionally I make dulce de leche - except I make it with coconut milk & palm sugar. It works out...

    I had trouble with coffee and tea. I've always been somewhat sensitive to caffeine but until my gut was screwed up I was never intolerant of it. I can handle a good quality decaf with both coffee and tea now, although I keep it to once a month. I'm still hoping I will be able to heal completely and go back to coffee even if it's on a one day a week basis...

    I think you should track your sugar intake, all types of sugar over one week. The thing about sugar is that it is highly addictive. If you try to cut it out cold turkey, you will start to realise just how addictive it is. I would recommend trying to cut it out cold turkey as an experiment after you track your sugar intake. You'll probably be surprised...

    ARCHIVED Very Hard To Lose Fat

    Kjas replied to adab8ca's topic in Sports and Fitness

    Hmmm things to consider: 1) have you actually checked all your vitamin, minerals, trace, amino acids etc? Most of these have a bigger effect than what we think. Lots of these things end up regulating our hormones, so if they're not optimal, then that could be affecting your fat loss / muscle gain. Vitamin D is a great example. It's actually a hormone,...

    umm... I agree with the Ayams. They mainly do Thai / Malaysian food bases, sauces and things like coconut milk and I haven't gotten sick from them even though I'm fairly sensitive. Price was it's about $2.50 a can of coconut milk and usually $4-5 for a base or sauce. For indian, the Pataks range here are also gluten free. I find most of them taste better...
