    I generally don't buy a lot of gluten free flour or pasta. Corn tortillas, rice and quinoa is cheaper. Yeah, it means not bread, but bread isn't necessary (and you can adapt fairly quickly). (Not saying it's the right answer, just one option.) Meat (plain meat) MUST be labeled if it has anything added to it, per USDA regulations. The Sam's Club near...

    I've used almond milk myself. I've made lots of sorbets with fresh fruits. I've had ice cream from coconut cream, but haven't tried making it myself. Few things are going to be quite as rich as whole milk ice cream (I've yet to find coconut cream - just whole fat coconut milk), so don't go in with particular expectations of duplicating something. But...

    This is kind of the point, well my point anyway. Your "should" isn't other people's "should". I think people should know basic probability (we are exposed to it, use it, and need to use it every day), but many people would disagree with me and feel they get by just fine without knowing it. I agree with you that it would be better if people would know where...

    Don't rely on other people to do the things you need to do - make the appointment yourself. And, though it may take a long time to get to this point, you may have to find acceptance in the fact that you may not find understanding. You don't need understanding from everyone. You need them to respect your decision, but you do not need them to understand...

    I have RLS. (I already take magnesium, vit D, B-vits, and a couple of other supplements, in addition to being Gluten-free Casein-free.) I have to take meds for it, or it drives me up a wall and there is no way I could get to bed reasonably. Talk to your doctor about it - assuming you aren't getting actual bites that indicate you have real bed bugs, of...

    lol, that's definitely true. that's why I find a few places that I get to know, and stick to them. no, it's not as adventurous, but I'll save my adventure for backpacking, not restaurants.

    I think it's important to know the area you are in. as kenlove pointed out - different cultures tend to prepare the food differently. in SoCal and Seattle, I haven't had a problem, but all of the sushi places I've been to (almost exclusively, I should say) were fairly traditional japanese or at least owned/operated by japanese proprietors or chefs. this...

    consider whether or not you really need to be tested. if you felt better eliminating gluten, you can make the choice to continue doing that. you do not need the four gluten containing foods - wheat, barley, rye, and oats - to be healthy. nor do you need the test to take them out of your diet.

    the two common genes do not cover all cases of celiac. not having dq2 or dq8 may make it less likely that you would have celiac, but doesn't in any way whatsoever make it impossible.

    But the autoimmune disease is caused by a triggered gene. From the studies I've read, it's the celiac genes which produce the immune molecules that recognize gluten as a foreign substance. They would have to no longer be produced (the gene turned off) to turn off the autoimmune condition. Of course, I'm not a genticist, and I could be wrong.

    being a math/physics geek, and going to a college full of 'em, the real world quickly taught me that "ignorant" just means that you're unaware of something the other person thinks is obvious, regardless of why the other person thinks it's obvious. some comments that initially struck me as shockingly "ignorant": me: "we can assume that we're working...

    I may be able to get access to the article, but posting the whole thing would be a copyright violation. (I can try to summarize after I see if I can get access - I can't from home.) As for the "can we untrigger the genes"? Antibiotics are *quite* unlikely to be the "untrigger". Geneticists have, by now, learned that there are portions of the genetic...

    sure, if you get all your fiber from all-bran cereal, whole wheat bread, and eat no vegetables or fruit, you'll suddenly not getting any fiber. but to just assume that is a pretty big assumption on your doctor's part. there are a LOT of places to get fiber (more fiber and better fiber) than wheat, barley, rye, or oats. (oats are a great place, but there...

    almost all of my recipe thread is Gluten-free Casein-free and there are a bunch of veggie recipes as well.

    if he never used to drink milk, his body naturally won't produce lactase. regardless of damage from celiac, the healthiest of people, normally able to drink milk, won't produce lactase if they don't expose themselves to milk. it's a use or lose it feature. but it's not lost permanently. once you start exposing the stomach to lactose again, the body will...

    most of the recipes on my thread are pretty easy, and good for two, with leftovers for lunch. (it's just my husband and I in our house.) Open Original Shared Link

    Proteins in general - be they major sources or minor sources, are what generally get the immune system going. Just because they are longer, more specific chemicals than sugars. I wouldn't say it in any way means you need to cut all major sources of protein out of your diet. Heck, it's the protein in strawberries that people allergic to that fruit react...

    coconut bliss is available on the west coast, as it quite tasty. the pina colada and galactic mint flavors (and plain) are my favorite.

    before becoming dependent on laxatives, which can very much negatively affect your digestive system, I would suggest trying to find out what is causing the constipation. the first suggestion, obviously, is food. (next on my list, but pretty much right at the same level as food, would be to check any meds you might be taking.) for instance, I discovered...

    you talk about a couple of things, including the knees, and I thought I would check and make sure that you had been thoroughly evaluated by a competent orthopaedist. some things may relate back to celiac, but some don't. there are problems that can lead to joint deterioration that have nothing to do with autoimmune conditions (I have one, chondromalacia...

    while there may be plenty of jobs that become very challenging to combine with celiac, there are plenty that are not. I would encourage you to look into the training and education for those jobs. the kitchen issue you describe is one where you just have to be aware of contamination - don't put down your spoon, don't put your dishes in the dishwasher (bring...

    sometimes I'll make stirfry without soysauce, and just use crushed red peppers (sautee them in the oil first briefly to release a bit of flavor), and some garlic (or ginger) and lemon (and honey to balance the flavors), onion, and a pinch of salt, plus plenty of fresh vegetables to compliment any meat that may be in the dish. works just fine.

    yup, while it's not documented to be as common, casein-induced enteropathy is possible.

    balsamic vinegar, having sulfites, can bother some people. but a balsamic from modena is just grapes. (I've been there, went through a very cute vinegar producer's factory, learned the whole process - in broken english! ) caramel color should not be added to any even "decent" quality balsamic vinegar. (yes, I'm a food snob. ) that's not to say that...
