    like molly said, i wouldn't rule out gluten either. if i get a slight cross contamination, i don't have really bad stools, but i get brutal brain fog, nausea, and other stuff. if i eat something CLEARLY with gluten, i get the fatty D for about two weeks. it does vary per person.

    ARCHIVED Probiotics

    I use Bio-K Dairy free, and love it.

    some foods have sulphites naturally, like grapes (and therefore wine, et cetera). it's used in a preservative in a lot of products, esp. dried fruits / dried herbs (like onion flakes). if it's just the fruit salad, i doubt it's the sulphites.

    quick blurb on celiac. didn't want to forget about it, but i can write it out later (the magazine is in another room where someone is sleeping right now) if anyone is interested.

    beerlow, a lot of the celiac canada information is slightly outdated (it doesn't mean it is inaccurate). where do you do your mainstream grocery shopping? if it is a part of the loblaw's corporation (IE zehrs, loblaws, superstore, they have a natural food section.

    grapes naturally produce sulphites.
  7. lorka150
    I have never not seen Nature's Path / Envirokidz varieties at the normal grocer. Have you tried those?
  8. lorka150
    hi beerlow, and welcome to the boards. i am also canadian, and, generally, the american lists apply to us, too. some products are different, and before consuming anything new, i always contact the company. i am not sure where you are from in canada, but there are many canadians on the board here; we can help with recommendations. did you have any product...

    From what I think I remember, you are relatively newly diagnosed. Before I was diagnosed, I was not absorbing (like everyone), resulting in my ability to eat and eat and eat and eat. I didn't even like going out for dinner or to people's houses for food because I felt foolish how much I packed in and never got full. Since I have been gluten free and absorption...

    If it didn't taste grainy, then yes, probably!

    you might be sensitive to legumes, in that case, chickpeas and soybeans are both from that family.

    you can sub in soy flour for flour in any recipe. i generally do a ratio of soy, amaranth, tapioca and potato starch.
  13. lorka150
    Mmm... I love amaranth! When I first went gluten free, I did a huge order from Nu World Amaranth. A great company!

    I am not positive what you mean... Something can be lactose free but not casein free. Is that what you are indicating? I am casein free, too.
  15. lorka150
    are you sensitive to sulphites? grapes are naturally high in them.
  16. lorka150
    actually, i've never seen a soymilk that isn't organic.
  17. lorka150
    my mom loves their yogurt. we buy her the plain and she mixes in flax seeds and fruit. if you never had problems with soy before, you probably won't now. don't let that worry you. i consumed a lot of soy before i found out i could not longer have casein, so the transition was easy. if you're having more soy than normal, your bod is going to have to get...
  18. lorka150
    well, if soy is bad for celiacs, i'm screwed! it's my main protein! silk, yes, casein free. natura brand soymilk is nice, too (also casein free), and almond breeze (also casein free). those three are household staples.
  19. lorka150
    is it possible that you are either getting a bit of gluten in your diet (i get horribly dehydrated when i do), or that your mineral water has sodium? i drink copious amounts of water, anyway, but just to make sure.
  20. lorka150
    I am also awaiting the response of lactose intolerance vs. casein.
  21. lorka150
    I am ridiculously sensitive, and have never reacted to Peanut Butter Panda Puffs, which I consume daily.
  22. lorka150
    i read that frontier organics / simply organic has major cross contamination issues, and am frustrated, as that is what i have been using and am pretty sure two of mine haven't been agreeing (but i wasn't sure what it was). i have some mccormick's, but cannot use all of them because, for example, their curry has sulphites. what other brands do you...

    A few months ago, my liver enzymes were all over 800 (and as you know, under 40 is normal). Gluten was sneaking into my diet (I thought I was gluten free). They tested me for everything. They teetered off around 150, but haven't budged, so I am getting a liver biopsy in two weeks. Perhaps that would help.
  24. lorka150
    cassidy, i understand what you mean. some celiacs make me feel like i 'overdo it'. but i just don't like leaving room for error! i found the information at my meeting great, but i'd say that 95% of the folks there were three times my age - i was hoping to meet people at least within ten years! when i went to the first one, i sort of just sat at the back...

    skinnyminny - i know how you feel! i am also 5'7'' and my lowest was 78lbs. When I got up to about 105, I was SO proud of myself... But sometimes it's so shattering to think how far I have come, but then some jerk makes a comment when I am out doing errands. It's almost debilitating... I'm proud of myself and STILL getting berated! I get over it quickly,...
