    I bake my own bread as the bread I find in the store is basically just starch. However, the breads I typically make are pretty dense and a little much for a sandwich. A couple pieces are a meal. Today I found a great sandwich bread. Pancakes. Yup pancakes. I made a batch this morning 1/4 cup amaranth, 1/4 millet, 1/4 cup tapioca starch, 2 eggs, 2 tsp...

    Probiotic supplements - kiefer (near yogurts), yogurt, kimchi (look in refrigerated items by frutis and veggies) , sauerkraut, pickles from the refrigerated section, soy bean paste (miso), hard apple ciders, kombucha... Of course all of these are better if you make them yourself. Most are fairly easy. Open Original Shared Link

    You can quickly brown/caramelize onions by sauteing them with a sprinkle of baking soda over them. Caramelize onions and add cream. Can of mushroom bits and pieces; saute and add cream.

    Jeanzdyn you answered your own question "My job involves a great deal of travel, and maintaining a gluten free diet is very difficult --- too often there is nothing I can eat that is nutritious and that tastes good to me." You have to get this part straightened out. Although you travel there are many items you can eat such as salads, yogurts, fruit...

    There are more neural connections in the gut than there is in the brain. These connections control a whole host of biochemical reactions throughout the body and endocrine system. Any damage in the GI tract can manifest itself in other parts of the body and definitely will effect your health, the way you feel and how chemical messengers tell your body what...

    If it truly gerd you may want to get a script for an acid reducer. Gerd can severly damage your esophagus which will present a whole host of new problems.

    I have pretty bad COPD and have never smoked. I was also diagnosed at 51 after I went in and told the gastro guy I wanted an endoscope with my colonoscopy and that I would pay since I had no referral. He knew I had Celiac immediately following the endo then tests and biopsy confirmed it.I had never even heard of Celiac until then. I had been go to a immunology...

    Since a quarter of us take probiotics and supplements, we need to share experiences. I know Garden of Life advertised as gluten-free shows barley as an ingredient and does not treat me kindly. I have been focusing on getting my microbiome rebuilt so this news comes as sort of a blow. Does anyone know of a probiotic that is truly gluten-free, not just labeled...

    Could it be depression? Exercise might help. Are you eating out? If so stop and eat at home for a few weeks. See if it helps. Have you checked all meds and supplements for gluten?

    Take some potatoes, slice them up thin, Oil them up and lay them out on a cookie sheet. Broil them for just a few minutes on each side. Kaboom french fries. If you are eating out and not getting sick, you may not be celiac. Eating out is a crap shoot at best. Save you french fry money and go to Las Vegas. At least you wont get sick.

    It takes 1/200th of a teaspoon to set off an autoimmune response. Partner, those are worse odds than Las Vegas.

    It is likely that you are still eating out or are taking some medications or supplements that have gluten. Tighten er up partner and eat at home. It takes 1/200th of a teaspoon of gluten to set off the autoimmune response. If you remember that you can see the issue of eating out. If they have gluten fair it is likely that you are going to get some of...

    Here is my diet. Call it Paleo if you want. I am a bit pale so I guess it might fit whatever it is. I try to eat real food. About the only thing I eat that is processed is occasionally I eat Blue corn chips from Garden of Eating. They are non-gmo, gluten free. I also occasionally indulge in a bowl of ice cream. I have a few rules I loosely follow but...

    I am fighting that now. I was pretty much asymptomatic. Now anything set me off. Like you, I generally have no idea what it is. It seems each time gets worse.

    I was diagnosed at 53. I thought I had no symptoms until I went gluten free. I then realized I had many issues but gastro issues were not in the mix.

    I am with you. I am trying to heal my stomach - three years post diagnosis. I have tried glutamine but I think it makes me a bit grouchy. Now I am trying to up my fish oil, alkalizing my diet and water, and taking silymarin, marshmallow root, and slippery elm. I have also started adding aloe vera juice to my juices (there is a big difference in taste from...

    I have been a health nut all of my life so going gluten free was not a big deal. I do miss my crunchy French bread and still do. Finding the products with trace gluten has been a real issue. Many of the pre made gluten free products are full of starch (not whole grain or whole seed). Starches generally are not healthy as they can have a high glycemic index...

    I was diagnosed as Celiac at 53. I was asymptomatic or so I thought; i never smoked and was a teacher. I now realize I have had Celiac all of my life I have had severe asthma , seasonal allergies, and chronic lung inflation all my life. It seems when i read these boards many Celiacs have asthma but it is hard to get a handle on how many. I suspect...

    Some people test clear on blood tests and do not pass the biopsy and vice versa. Some people test clear then develop Celiac. I was asymptomatic or so I thought. I did not have loose stools or stomach problems. Actually i always thought I had a stomach of iron. I was diagnosed at 53 and now that I am gluten-free I realize I have had it all my life. Things...

    I am 56 and have had severe spring and fall allergies all my life mostly effecting my lungs and breathing. I also have moderate/severe COPD and have never smoked, and nothing in my life really explains it other that chronic asthma/allergies and or celiac. I was diagnosed though biopsy and blood test to have Celiac after I had lung biopsy at National Jewish...
