Being sensitive to sorghum rules out Redbridge. I have tried and enjoy Omission beers. I'm a cheap light beer in a can kind of guy, and my go to is Omission Ultimate Light Golden Ale I think it's called. Omission does use regular beer ingredients and then does something to remove gluten during the brewing process. Please read about them at their site... -
I think I am bit late to this discussion, but body weight exercises are a great way to get stronger without a gym. Push-ups, pull-ups, sit-ups/crunches/core, burpees, air squats, lunges, etc. Every week or two increase the number you do per set. With body weight stuff, I find it best to do as many reps as possible for several (two, three, even four) sets...

I tend to disagree that carbs are needed for distance events. Carbs can, I think, be beneficial for sprint-type activity, but for distance, your body needs to be burning fat for fuel, and I think that a load of carbs will simply delay the process by which your body starts to metabolize those fats. This has certainly been my experience in ten-to-twelve-plus...

ARCHIVED Is It Celiac?
Little Joe replied to nicoleashleee's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I am very new to this, but my understanding is that a low Immunoglobulin A count can cause the ttg (and other?) count(s) to appear low or normal in people who, in fact, do have celiac disease. I think that is why the total Immunoglobulin A count is taken. That is not to say that low IgA *is* causing a false negative, but I think it *can* contribute to or... -
ARCHIVED Good Tasting, Low Carb, Gluten Free Bread
Little Joe replied to Sarahsmile416's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
While I have not tried it, there is something named Paleo Bread by Julian Bakery (Open Original Shared Link, Open Original Shared Link) that is supposed to be good (they have a few lines of low and lower-carb bread, many of which are gluten-free). By "supposed to be good" I have heard (yes, hearsay!) that it is good. I plan on trying some myself, but have... -
ARCHIVED Asymptomatic Celiacs- Where Are You?
Little Joe replied to TGK112's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
My diagnosis, too, came while looking for something else--it was quite a surprise. That said, my diagnosis is very recent so I am not sure how differently I will feel as my body adjusts to the gluten-free diet. My list of symptoms over the years are all very mild in nature and (outside of celiac) likely causes have been eliminated. Symptoms: migraines... -
I drive by a commercial bakery (Holsum) on my way home most evenings and the smell is oh so good. Fortunately it does not make me want bread, so I can look forward to enjoying that smell whenever I am taking that route home. My celiac disease diagnosis was suspected two weeks ago and confirmed just last week, but I have been following a low-carb/almost...

Psyllium Seed Husk
Little Joe replied to Little Joe's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Thank you for the replies! There is a Vitamin Shoppe very near to one of our local Trader Joe's and, according to their Web site, they carry both the Yerba Prima and Organic India brands (along with some others). I will give them a visit on this weekend's grocery shopping trip. -
I am newly diagnosed with celiac disease (Nov. 21) and, as quickly as possible, moving toward and adjusting to a gluten-free diet. I certainly have many questions, but one that sticks out right now is if anyone knows a good source of gluten-free psyllium seed husks? I currently use Trader Joe's "Secrets Of The Psyllium" which is inexpensive, and devoid...
