    That's about 10g of gluten per day. They had me on a gluten challenge of 30g per day for 2 months

    But you are aware that for a proper diagnosis you will need to go a gluten challenge first?

    that the doctor would test her now, to me looks like as a second option because the gluten challange is declined. The OP can clear it up ...

    Sounds to me like a very good doctor: willing to test you and wanting you to meet the conditions for an accurate result. While many on the forum complain about doctors not willing to do the test at all or testing when someone is insufficiently glutened so getting false negatives, you complain about the correct procedure. Or am I missing something here...

    Not sure I ever used it, logo looks familiar though. The brand is only listed for rice products. Thailand mostly produces rice and corn in the wet areas, while the little cereal they produce (only 0.5%), they do in the dry areas. Therefore there is very little chance of cross contamination on the land or in the factories/mills. So far I've only been...

    D from bananas? Those things are well known for their constipating effect

    I seriously doubt that rice flour imported from Thailand would contain any gluten. The rice factories over there do not process anything other than rice.

    I guess the only reason celiac is uncommon among asians is that most hardly eat wheat. So the few that do and are intolerant are not enough for the statistics. The way traditional diets are changing for westerniced diets in Asia, gluten intolerance will pop up there too in the future. If the doctors deny to test you, than you can decide to go gluten...

    I guess on a celiac forum you can only get this reply: Of course you should ask your doctor to run a blood test. It's the first step to find out. Most of us have a history of misdiagnoses. Let him check the vitamins/mineral levels too in case of mal-absorption. But do keep on eating gluten as long as you have not been fully checked, otherwise you...

    Weight gain by snacking would be weight gain by increasing fat percentage. Nothing healthy about that. Real weight gain means more muscles, which of course comes from exercising in combination with eating more proteins...

    Going off gluten and casein is certainly affecting your gut flora, you are less feeding it. Whatever is not absorbed by the small intestine is food for the gut flora to thrive on. I'd suggest to go a bit further and cut all starch and all dairy and all sugar and all legumes. In other words go a dairy free anti-Candida version of SCD or on a Paleo diet...

    Bread in France is made without milk

    I think this is a nice legal way of still accommodating gluten free without risks of lawsuits. It just means "at your own risk". Far better way of dealing with the issue than just not offering gluten free at all.

    Already had full allergy tests. Skin sensitive for Iodine and resin (wood). No food allergies found. (Dairy intolerance was not tested as I know that already and regardless any test outcome, I hate the stuff, so will not eat it). If you are indeed celiac... I've been diagnosed through biopsy, so yes I am. Don't cheat... Of course not. Why would I...

    One slice of bread only contains 2.5g of gluten. According to my doctor, after being gluten free, for accurate test results one must eat 30g/day gluten for at least 6 weeks (but 3 months is the recommended period). That is about 2-3 times a normal consumption amount. Gluten powder (75% gluten) is an easy way to eat that much, if you can stand the taste...

    Thanks, that is a reassuring answer.
  18. benXX
    Have you any doubt that on a celiac forum you will get other than affirmative answer? But, not doing the obvious, here is my reply: If you haven't been diagnosed as celiac, there is no way to know if gluten is or isn't of any influence on your health. And of course, it is the lack of diagnosis that allows you to "cheat", pointing out how important it...

    I'm getting confused, even scared when reading the posts in this forum. So many people seem to get all sorts of symptoms after going gluten free. Is that to be my future too? I'm feeling great now, how long will that last? As my experience and approach are very different to that of most, I'm sharing it here in a rather long story, with the big questions...

    I fully agree. What I noticed in the forum is that the majority of the people are just replacing the gluten-rich products for the gluten-free ones and continue their unhealthy eating habits. Thereby risking a lot of mistakes. And, let's face it, the gluten free specials are far more expensive too. I believe that changing your eating habits completely...

    When we say you've been "glutened," that something "glutens" you, or that something is "glutening" you, it means you're getting symptoms of gluten ingestion from that food product. Perfectly clear and normal expression for us. However, "to gluten" is not an existing verb. In our quest to increase awareness of gluten intolerance, we should try to...

    It is true, Unilever does mention the origin of the grain in their products, worldwide, which is exceptional. However what they don't care about is that the gluten in their seasoning products ruins entire dishes for us. Are the gluten in the seasoning products really necessary taste wise? That is the big question. Could the same result not be achieved...

    ARCHIVED Fish Sauce

    benXX replied to JenaTM's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Pad Thai holds another risk than the fish sauce. It might contain soy-sauce. Although this seems to be a debatable product. Some claim to have reactions to it, but I never had any to the soy-sauce while in Thailand. If you have DH, the fish sauce may contribute to a rash though, as it is rich in iodine. "A frozen dinner Pad Thai" ?? That is very non...

    on my bread I've always used mayonnaise I.s.o. butter, but that was before I went gluten free.

    I've never seen them in the ingredients lists. So I looked them up and found their E-numbers E321 - Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), also known as butylhydroxytoluene, is a lipophilic (fat-soluble) organic compound, chemically a derivative of phenol, that is useful for its antioxidant properties. European and U.S. regulations allow small percentages to...
