  1. response from the company Begin forwarded message: From: Good Greens Info <info@goodgreensbars.com> Date: October 11, 2012 4:14:01 AM EDT Cc: Jim Clifford <jc@goodgreensbars.com> Subject: Re: change in formula / gluten free certification? First off - We would like to thank you for supporting Good Greens, and for asking these questions...
  2. Just wanted to share something I learned to help others... I used to be enamored with Good Greens bars. They were my go-to food for portability. I swear, on my honor, that they used to be certified. A while back I noticed some constipation with them, but figured I just wasn't getting enough fiber. Then, I had a PB&J bar, and noticed it was disgustingly...
  3. Yes, I do use ground flax and chia in my smoothies and foods. However, when I travel or have a hectic work schedule, I'm not able to do this as often as I like, and find myself relying on gluten-free protein bars and other foods that make constipation an issue. I'm specifically looking for capsules or other dissolve-able powders that have good portability...
  4. I just want to put this out here for other people who may be struggling with these issues: You are not alone. I have been a hair-puller (trichotillomania) for all my adult life. I get intense itching and feel that the only relief I can find is to remove the hair at the source of itching. When I first went gluten-free, I noticed that the intensity of the...
  5. Hello - I know I've seen posts here before about the best fiber supplements for celiacs, but I can't seem to find any current ones using search! I'm only coming up with early years...let's get a topic going for late 2012? Yesterday, hubby brought home some Metamucil capsules labeled as "Gluten-Free" but the gluten-free has an asterisk footnote *less than...
  6. I have had difficulty with Amy's products, especially the burritos. I couldn't understand why, until I read the "processed in a facility with wheat..." statement hidden in the seam of the package. My symptoms were bumps on my scalp. I find that I get DH-type flares on my head when I don't get strong GI symptoms. I wrote the company, and I got the usual...
  7. If doing it for yourself isn't enough, then do it for your children. Think of the hell you will save them from IF you have celiac, and IF you can pass it on to them genetically. They can start their lives free from this pain. I am facing a situation where I asked for the blood test, but the doctor failed to tell me that being full-gluten was a requirement...
  8. Also, for what it's worth.... A couple years ago during a routine physical, my C-Reactive Protein came back at .96 -- double the upper limit of .5 CRP measures inflammation in the body
  9. The other assays on the test were normal, under 20, which was the threshold for negative. This is where I think being gluten-free before the test hurt me. My thyroid has checked out ok, but my iron saturation is weak (19%) and my Vitamin D was low ("4") before I started 50,000 IU a week, now 35.
  10. I have been suffering with many things intensely over the past 5 years. I used to be fairly healthy except for chronic allergies and sinus problems, then suddenly I was hit with 60 pound weight gain, migraine, fibromyalgia, intense diarrhea alternating with constipation, depression, anxiety, arthritis, cancer, on and on. I've seen 9 specialists (including...
