    You may be intolerant to some other foods in addition to having celiac. You could see a dietician to assess for FODMAP intolerances. These are types of carbohydrates that are in foods and which can cause reactions such as bloating in some people. You can read more about FODMAP intolerances here: Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link ...

    ARCHIVED Hair Loss

    Sammykins replied to Stacy0w's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Your hair basically shows your health/nutrition status from three months prior*, so it can become worse even after switching to a gluten free diet. Now obviously you've been gluten free much longer than 3 months, but considering that it can take a while for the body to recover from coeliac damage and start correctly absorbing nutrients, perhaps your body...

    ARCHIVED Fraud?

    Sammykins replied to Whirlwind's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    It will also tell you the likelihood of you having celiac by percentage (or at least my test did).

    I have reactive hypoglycemia, which was discovered when I too lost consciousness and had massive convulsions due to low blood glucose -- despite having a good meal three hours beforehand. You'll need to increase your intake of healthy fats, not just cut carbs and increase your protein, in order to get an adequate amount of calories. It was eating insufficient...

    My favourite tip has to do with gluten free bread. It can sometimes taste a little dry or stale, and doesn't seem to keep as well as regular bread. If you dab/flick the smallest amount of water (literally a drop of two, don't overdo it!) onto each slice, wrap them up in paper towel, and microwave for 10 seconds or so you get lovely fresh bread again. Game...

    Hi and welcome! I'm from Sydney, not coeliac but with a pretty severe intolerance. I think recovery looks different on everyone: some who have fatigue feel better immediately, for others it takes more time, some unfortunately feel worse temporarily. You might be better off asking that particular question in the recovery or coping sub-forums since it's not...

    Yup! I had it with Hungarian Goulash. I thought it was good. :-)

    I think you'll find that what it comes down to -- not that they'd probably admit it -- is being able to pump out more of their nut-free, oat-based muesli bars to cater for the growing demand for nut-free packaged snacks brought about by schools with nut-free policies. It is a whole lot cheaper and easier to procure large amounts of regular oats and not do...

    Friends, today is a sad day. For some of us, anyway. See I am one of those rare creatures who was able to consume Freedom Foods Free Oats, which test under 3ppm for gluten as found in wheat, rye, barley and triticale. In other words, I can have "oat gluten" (avenin) so long as it's not cross-contaminated with the other forms of gluten. I noticed that the...

    I haven't flown with Singapore Airlines, just Qantas, but a Google search for "Singapore Airlines AND gluten free" got a number of hits. Here's one one them from March 2013, so not tooooo long ago: Open Original Shared Link

    Wowsa, that's a lot of product for $28! I haven't been since I'm not all that keen for a lot of the stuff they were advertising, but mocha cake mix sounds amazing! I might go check it out just for that, though I imagine there probably isn't much left by now. Thanks for reporting back!

    I haven't, what is it? Google brings back hits for Fly In Fly Out mining jobs?!

    Aldi Special Buys for Wednesday 25th February include a bunch of gluten free stuff from their Has No label. Open Original Shared Link

    I'm glad to hear that you will be seeing an endocrinologist. I'm unfamiliar with Lo loestrin or running pill packets together, as I'm assuming you're doing. However, given that birth control pills containing estrogen are sometimes used in the treatment of osteopenia/osteoporosis, I think it is unlikely to be impairing on your bone health. Estrogen helps...

    Hello, I have reactive hypoglycmeia and osteopenia. 'Reactive' meaning that the hypos are caused by hyperglycemic episodes. In order not to have a hypo, I need to ensure I eat sufficient quantities of protein and/or fat with each meal and snack, not go to long without eating, not eat too much carbohydrate and especially simple carbohydrates at one time...

    You can make porridge or Bircher muesli with quinoa (whole or flaked), millet, buckwheat, amaranth, polenta or a combination of these. You can have certified gluten free oats too if they are permitted on a gluten free diet where you live and you don't have problems with them. Top with sautéed mushrooms for a savory breakfast or dried or fresh or stewed fruits ...

    Does anyone know if there are any brands/varieties of ice cream other than Bulla available from supermarkets that are gluten free? Stacks of them declare the presence of wheat where the only form of wheat in the ingredients list is wheat glucose syrup... I'm guessing there's no way of knowing whether it may be cross-contaminated without contacting the manufacturer...

    I'd really like to have a store-bought BBQ chicken too. My mother keeps trying to push me to eat it and ugh. -- I spent the past week in Melbourne and thought I'd report back with some of restaurants we successfully ate at. We went on the Colonial Tram Restaurant for lunch one day, OMG best gluten free bread EVER which reminds me I need to email them...

    Omelette wraps: make an omelette - any flavourings you want - stuff in a corn tortilla with mixed salad greens. I generally keep it simple with a plain omelette cooked in coconut oil (try it - amazing) with a bit of cheese, wrap it up with sliced tomato and baby spinach, perhaps also some baby rocket leaves.

    I heard back from Woolies. The burgers are indeed gluten free. "Thank you for contacting Woolworths with regards to the ingredients of the Jamie Oliver Beef Burgers Mexican Style. I can advise you that this product does not contain gluten products and does not cross contact with any other ingredient that contains gluten."

    PS: What is the deal with alcoholic cider? Are they all gluten free or not? I'm reading conflicting things on the Internet... seems like barley etc. is sometimes added in the brewing process?

    I'm interested in knowing this too, so have sent a product enquiry to Woolworths. Legally they are meant to declare any of the top allergens in the ingredients panel, which includes those containing gluten. Mistakes do happen, though. Woolworths has had a number in the past week: a stack of their Macro brand nut spreads were recalled due to a failure to...

    I know it is in the stir fry mix (wheaten soy sauce) and I think they have some rice/barley mixes but wow, unexpected. Thanks for the heads up!
