    Oh, I like that! The nutritional specs are really good. I'm in Canada, though, so I will have to check if Costco Canada has it. I hope so! Thanks so much!

    Does anyone know of a lower carb gluten-free pasta? I have looked at pretty much all the bigger brands (Italpasta, Barilla, GoGo, President's Choice, Tinkyada, Rizopia, Catelli, Arrowhead Mills, Prairie Harvest) and they all come in at about 0.7-0.8 carbs per gram of pasta. Does anyone know of a higher protein, lower carb version? I realize pasta...

    I'm curious, how many people here are also diagnosed with MS? And, if so, did your symptoms improve with gluten elimination? What about when you accidentally get glutened - do the symptoms get worse? I'm asking because right before I went gluten-free I had optic neuritis. I just got glutened ( about a week ago) and had back pain, really bad, despite treatment...

    Curious if anyone has used this? I believe it is only available in Canada. If you did use it, was it accurate? Also, what was the cost of the test?

    Yikes! This scares me because I had a bout of optic neuritis and lost about 80% of the vision in my right eye about two years ago. I went gluten-free about a month after that and have been since. I just assumed that since my optic neuritis had not returned again I was safe. I mean, I knew Optic neuritis was linked sometimes to MS but I had no idea a 9 year...

    THANK YOU!!!!!! The picture of them makes them look very pliable and soft! I am definitely going to have to try making these. In my "before" days I used to always make homemade flour tortillas (never bought them!) but now I find they just fall apart and never stay together long enough in the skillet etc. Thanks so much!

    I am at a loss. I have tired a number of gluten-free tortillas but they all fall short. They either dry up and are brittle when warmed or they are very chewy. I DO love corn tortillas and will eat those as well but sometimes, well, a good "flour" tortilla is the best fit for a dish. Suggestions? Oh, and I am in Canada so we don't have some products...

    ARCHIVED Grain Brain

    Yes, that was what I thought. It WAS long. My Lord! I just sort of felt that he made gluten to be the culprit for everything. Got a headache - gluten is to blame. Got a hang nail - gluten is to blame. Don't get me wrong - I DO agree that a lot of people are gluten sensitive or intolerant or celiac but I think to blame every single ailment on gluten is detrimental...

    I'm assuming all of the above posters are in the USA? I am in Canada and haven't seen a Great Value gluten-free line as of yet.

    ARCHIVED Grain Brain

    MissyBB posted a topic in Publications & Publicity

    I am curious if anyone here has read this book by David Perlmutter. I am wondering what your opinion is of what he has written and the conclusions he has drawn.
  11. MissyBB
    Who knows. Honestly, even those people in my life who KNOW I am gluten-free have good intentions when making things for me to eat and they *think* they made it gluten-free. Most of the time, by the next morning I KNOW it had gluten in it. I know that just yesterday I was looking at corn tortillas and I found a brand that had wheat gluten in it. Heck, even...

    The Kinnickinnick new Soft Bread is also exceptional.
  13. MissyBB
    I agree. I use corn tortillas for all sorts of wrapped foods - gryos, tacos, breakfast burritos etc etc.

    Creme brulee is super easy to make yourself. And if you make it yourself then you will know what is in it.

    Jay, I think you will find, after a while, that you will lose your craving for all that previously, fluffy-white, baked stuff. I know I was a huge dessert freak. I LOVED my carbs. I LOVED muffins and crumpets and cupcakes and pie and bread.....oh, how I loved the bread! But now that I have been off of all that stuff for ten months I have to honestly say that...

    I might be late to the party with this post. I was on the Ontario legislature site looking for another bill when I noticed Bill 75, the Act to amend the Health Insurance Act with respect to celiac disease screening. It seems it passed its first reading in the spring. Here is a link: Open Original Shared Link In short, from what I can tell...

    Kinnickinnick mades both vanilla and chocolate donuts. You can find them in the frozen, gluten-free section of upper-end grocery stores. They are actually pretty good.

    Yep! I had the same problems. I, too, had a cough for years and chalked it up to my cat. Luckily for the cat I inadvertently, and unintentionally went gluten-free (tried the Primal diet) and VOILA - no cough! I put two and two together along with the disappearance of a bunch of my other symptoms when going off of gluten and discovered I am at the very least...

    First off, thanks to anyone who takes the time to read this and reply. Anyway, I am thinking of getting some sort of "diagnoses". I really do NOT want to get out there and eat a whack load of gluten as I have been gluten-free since April. Hence the reason I don't want a standard blood test. I already KNOW that I am, at the very least, NCGS. I don't...

    I struggled with this too when I first started eating gluten-free. We have pretty much always eaten organic, and whole foods. Our bread was grainy, close to whole foods as possible. We didn't eat any "fake" foods so going to a gluten-free bread that had all this other stuff in it bothered me mentally for a long time. What really turned around my thinking...

    Thanks so much for that very informative video. My husband is also a Chiropractor and he is constantly telling his patients that the key to a lot of health issues is often diet. I wish MDs would see this correlation more often as well.
  22. MissyBB
    I found I did this in the beginning when I discovered that gluten bothered me and then suddenly, all those things I loved the most - bread, baked goods- were off limits. So I gorged on gluten-free foods because, for me, at least, I felt I had some control back because I wasn't "allowed" to eat the non-gluten-free foods, and, well, I don't like not being ...

    I am so glad you are feeling better. Isn't it wonderful to feel GREAT?!
  24. MissyBB
    Just wondering if this is normal (if there can be any "normal" with NCGS or Celiac ). Did your sensitivity to gluten increase with time? I have been on a GFjourney since April 1st with an increasing of cutting out all wheat and gluten from my diet. I found that in the beginning I was fine if I just didn't eat actual bread products. So, for example...
  25. MissyBB
    I wonder how many people were "saved" by the gluten-free fad though? Here is what I mean........at the pushing of my hubby, we started a Paleo diet in April. It was then, when I was not eating wheat, that I realized how damned GREAT I felt and how many symptoms that had plaguing me went away. And, sure enough, when I re-introduced wheat they allllll came...
