    Maybe?

    That is odd, it works for me. Well, the doctor's blog is here and he's got tons of stuff like this: Open Original Shared Link I'm not a scientist but my reasoning would be thus: 1) Gliadin causes the gut to produce zonulin, they can measure the zonulin somehow. 2) Zonulin causes the TJ's to open which is the source of the leaky gut. Now you're...

    Stu, I've read that smoking can mask the symptoms of celiac disease, so I don't think you're that unusual at all. Do a google search on "smoking mask celiac" and have fun reading.

    Not all Tamari sauce is wheat free so be sure to read the label. I easily found San-J Wheat free in my local health food store though, they've also got a wheat version, so be careful! Also, I have always used natural peanut butter, it doesn't contain any additives whatsoever. I never did understand why anyone would put all that extra crap in peanut butter...

    I think you've just got to embrace your "high maintenance" status and realize you're worth it! I have girlfriends with no eating issues that are that way and they revel in it. They're just confident people who know what they want, and anyone who sees them should admire them for asking for exactly what they want. It's more in the way you do, rather than...

    I get some from Trader Joe's (frozen "Just grilled chicken") If you have one nearby. Hey, that might explain why your wife is so supportive!

    ARCHIVED Sciatica

    Nancym replied to clbevilacqua's topic in Sports and Fitness

    Just a heads up, especially to you youngsters , really bad sciatica can be one of the first signs of ankylosing spondylitis. Its a nasty disease that makes your spine stiff and unbendable (in some) or just very painful in joints and tendons. So if you're constantly suffering from this, get in to see a rheumatologist as you can. There are treatments that...

    My walmart vitamins had gluten in them!

    Placebo? Well, one that many of us have succumbed to then, even this cardiologist: Open Original Shared Link I can understand your skepticism though, I was pretty skeptical too.

    I was pretty bummed about it too. But the cravings and desires disappear. I do have dairy on special occassions, like a few times a year, but I feel an awful lot better without it.
  13. Nancym
    You're falling into a gray area lots of us do. Many doctors will diagnos celiac on the basis of blood work alone or positive response to the diet. Were you gluten-free before your biopsy? If so, how long? That could skew your results too. Anyway, many of us realize that the testing is obviously inadequate and are choosing to follow the diet anyway...

    Jerry, don't lose sight of the fact you're doing this for yourself, not us. Everyone makes mistakes at the beginning and I suppose if you're a guy that hasn't spent a lot of time cooking you've probably got even less of an idea of what possible problems are. Eating out is difficult even for those more experienced. I'd stick to places that have a gluten...

    Ha! Sounds like guys trying to make conversation with the pretty girl in the supermarket.
  16. Nancym
    I sure know since I've gotten off gluten I feel like I've gained about 20 IQ points. I was getting really fuzzy headed and forgetful.
  17. Nancym
    Well, there should be!
  18. Nancym
    I'm not sure I understand this. Why not just put the cat outside your room and close the door? Why do you need to keep her in the laundry room?

    Yeah! I wish. I need something like the "stud finder" I bought yesterday (to find wood studs in walls, not hunkly studs on the street). You wave it over your plate and it sounds an alarm if there's gluten.

    ARCHIVED Paleo Diet

    Nancym replied to lisaemu's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    Loren Cordain, author of The Paleo Diet, has a newsletter that is pretty interesting. Open Original Shared Link He also says that striving for 85% on the paleo diet is acceptable. So you don't have to be perfect. Me, I'm paleo but I use a lot of modern convienences and a few decidedly unpaleo things like diet soda, splenda and so on.

    At my NY eves party I'm going to have sugar-free sweet/spicy pecans, a cheese tray with apple slices, grapes and 3 sorts of cheese.
  23. Nancym
    They're sugar alcohols and, in the US if you read the label on candies made with them, it'll say they can have a laxative effect if you over indulge. Some people are more sensitive than others. They really give me horrible gas. In the US they're not derived from wheat, I can't speak for other countries though. There are other artificial sweeteners...

    No, they work synergistcally together.

    Seeds, like raw sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, do the trick for me. Too dang well...
