I've been eating steamed vegetables all summer and they're great ; now I'm hooked. They're super quick to prepare,leave me feeling satiated and energized and help me get 5-8 cups of veggies a few days of the week.The veggies made my celiac gut feel a whole world better too.I can't remember the site,but I liked their method of cutting vegetables into maybe...

ARCHIVED Wheat Bran - Try It - It's Great!
Candy replied to Candy's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
For that matter ,you can't make a loaf of bread with wheat bran,you know why? Because the bran has no stretchy ,puffy gluten ,like real wheat has.You can't knead bran,or make it rise..it doesn't puff up and you can't roll it , pull it and shape it into bread.It's just flat and dry like autumn leaves.So if you can't make a puffy loaf of wheat bread out of... -
ARCHIVED Wheat Bran - Try It - It's Great!
Candy replied to Candy's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I totally understand avoiding wheat as a deadly, brain shrinking,gut ripping substance for us pure intolerants. But I don't think wheat bran is "wheat". It doesn't taste like bread or anything else for that matter. It tastes like sawdust, albeit sweet ,sawdust-probably why most people avoid it.It's the outer dry skin on the wheat-I'm in love with it myself... -

ARCHIVED Wheat Bran - Try It - It's Great!
Candy posted a topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I've mixed wheat bran into my cereal and it gave me no "wheat" pain ,and make me feel fuller longer. I don't think it has wheat protein,since it's just the outer husk of the wheat and is not absorbed by the intestine. I think wheat bran is a celiac's best friend ! What do you think. -
ARCHIVED Vaccine Cure Possible For Autoimmune Disease
Candy posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I came across this article a few years ago saying that mice who were immunized with their own antigens were cured of their autoimmune diseases in experiments done by doctors in Germany and France. This is really good good news if they can get it off the ground. If this was available now I'd like to run and get it.... Open Original Shared Link -
ARCHIVED How Cigarette Smoke Helps Celiacs
Candy posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I'm not a smoker but I sometimes crave a cigarette at least twice a month and that being only since I had seemed to develop Celiac Disease in my late twenties. I did test positive for Celiac genes at Enterolab a few years back. I remember reading on this site an article that said Celiacs benefit from cigarette smoke but the article didn't say WHY... -
Well,the dictionary describes Celiac Disease as a fat malabsorption disease,so maybe the fat piles up in celiac brain or something,maybe its possible. I'll look into it and update ya.

But Media reports say Celiac Disease, Rheumatoid Arthritis,and Diabetes Type 1 ,but not other Autoimmune Diseases, contribute... -

Candy posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
