Latest Celiac Disease News & Research:

    You don't have to explain your diagnosis to anyone. Just say what you need and get on with it. The people around you will be grateful most likely, not to have to listen to the diagnostic process. I have dining cards that say, "I am a celiac" which can be handed to the waiter, who takes it to the chef, to help them cook for me. The circumstances of my...

    It can take up to 48 hours, or so I have read.

    ARCHIVED Vitamin K

    Nancym replied to monioneal's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I think I got the NOW foods K2 from Lame Advertisement.com. They have several varieties there. Are you taking D3 too?
  4. Nancym
    Vit. D deficiency is epidemic in this country. Good site to read up on it: Open Original Shared Link

    Fortunately the gluten free fruits, veggies and meat are the same price as the regular ones. I've come to believe that it is really a blessing and that being forced away from food produced in factories is a step in the right direction.
  6. Nancym
    The gluten free substitutes are worse for diabetes than the originals! They're extremely high in carbs and starch (which is rapidly converted to sugar). I know a lot of people, myself included, who are controlling their blood sugar by adopting a controlled carb diet. I eat lots of meats, veggies, nuts, a little fruit. I don't eat grains at all. Here...

    What's going on with you that you're semi-starving yourself?
  8. Nancym
    Yes, but the quantity of those two items you have to eat compared to a piece of meat is vastly more to get the same amount of amino acids.

    Gluten gave me awful joint pain, but I also had intestinal issues too. Diary actually seems to make my muscle spasm oddly enough. Why not try giving it up for a while and see what happens?
  10. Nancym
    I've gotten more food intolerances as time has gone on. I've discovered nuts, chocolate and seeds are an issue with me now as well as gluten. Fortunately I find a diet of meat and veggies seems to make everything settle down and it is the base from which I add other foods and test them out.
  11. Nancym
    It's important to remember that a change in the wording doesn't necessarily reflect a change in ingredients. If it was fine before, then it is probably ok now.
  12. Nancym
    Well, do your own research and decide. I read "Dangerous Grains" and a lot of the research on zonulin and decided that gluten is bad for everyone.

    I can provide you with many valid excuses not to have children, but this wouldn't be one of them. First of all, the genes are very, very common. In fact, they probably haven't identified all the genes yet so it is probably a huge portion of the population with the potential to have issues with gluten. Then just because you get a celiac gene...

    Might want to get checked for diabetes as gasteropareisis is often caused by diabetes.

    I know you had to go the RAI course but your post-RAI treatment is exactly why I suggest people avoid it if possible. We're often left under treated afterwards and not having enough thyroid hormone is nearly as bad as having too much.

    Stick "graves disease remission" in google and see. There's a lot of stuff out there about it, even from medical journals. But if you can get the symptoms under control with meds and diet you might not ever get to the point where you need to consider anything else. RAI is definitely something to consider if you go into a thyroid storm or perhaps have...
  17. Nancym
    I had Graves disease about 20 years ago. I got nudged into RAI (radioactive iodine) to kill the thyroid. I wish I hadn't. There's a good chance you could go into spontaneous remission, especially if you're staying gluten free (or so I have read). Funny, when I had Graves I got hirsute (grew more hair). Usually it is hypothyroid that makes you lose...

    You might want to look into this book: Open Original Shared Link. It is a neurological surgeon that has a program of supplements and dietary practices to help you get back your focus and concentration and memories. I've been taking his recommended supplements and I feel like my brain is working a bit better. Someone made a web page with his recommendations...

    Leaky gut isn't something you're going to get diagnosed in mainstream medical setting. It is a theory that explains why celiac disease seems to go hand in hand with lots of autoimmune problems. There is no real recognized cure for it either. Does not eating gluten completely reverse it? Dunno! Or do all these other food intolerances we've also acquired...

    I can't hear the word Anal fissure without thinking of Open Original Shared Link. Funny story, if somewhat graphic. Not for those easily offended. Heck, not for those who are hard to offend either.

    I see someone else likes rice vinegar like me! Nothing better to me than a simple olive oil/rice vinegar dressing on salad. I recently tried to have red wine vinegar and I was all "ew... not as good"!

    Avocado and salmon salad. I mixed together avocado, salmon, mayonnaise, lemon juice, onion and probably some other thing I can't think of now. It was delicious! Sometimes I just have half an avocado with mayonnaise. Back when I ate dairy we had a "summer salad" we would make with cottage cheese, fruit (bananas and pineapple are a must) and peanuts...

    ARCHIVED On A Budget

    Nancym replied to Karli's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    You can really cut back your food budget if you stop buying processed foods. It can mean reeducating your palate and learning how to cook, if you don't know how, but the end result is more $$ and a healthier you. I like to think my foods came from a farm versus a factory.

    I've had a Kitchen Aid Stand mixer for probably 20 years now. Nothing to be afraid of, it is very durable! I put all the parts in the dishwasher, I wonder why yours says to hand wash? Hmmm.... The only bits of advice I have is to make sure when you add powdery things, turn the mixer off, otherwise you might end up with it flying around your kitchen...
