    It's probably worth calling the company and finding out if they're made on the same lines or in the same facility or not - if you like tostitos. It's hard to fault them for adding flour, if those chips do significantly better in taste tests, since 98% (pretty much literally) of their market can have wheat.

    Lots of pure chocolate is gluten free - my favorite brands are Tropical Source and Dagoba, but I found Pralus today, and it's quite good.

    There's a genetic tendency - especially in those of Greek, Turkish, and southern Italian decent, to be intolerant to fava beans. It's called favism, and causes red blood cells to pretty much explode when both copies of the genes are had. Turns out it's protective against malaria, especially amongst carriers who - drumroll - eat fava beans. The less than...

    Pharma grade lactose will not have casein in it, so if you are both casein and lactose intolerant, you will likely find that taking lactase (over the counter enzyme that replaces what's missing in lactose intolerant people) will resolve the issue. Lactose intolerance does not cause damage like gluten intolerance can; they are of a totally different nature...

    Depends - are you lactose intolerant or casein intolerant? The answer would be different depending on the two. I'm casein intolerant, and pretty much avoid it all - down to the ingredients. Dark chocolate shouldn't have milk in it anyway. (The better, "expensive", dark chocolates are satisfying in much smaller quantities, as well.)

    a search on pubmed will show that, for celiacs, magnesium is a bigger player in osteoporosis than Vit D or calcium.

    "just washed down" isn't really fair - nor is the toaster analogy fair. there are manufacturing regulations that specify the thoroughness of cleaning between runs on production lines, and they're not exactly lenient.

    Your post reminds me of a quote from the vice principle of my high school. Something along the lines of "That's not really a need, that's a want, even though you think it's a need." (It was in relation to getting the classes we wanted/needed, but really, applies to everything.)

    Sweet potatoes, beets, carrots, and other root vegetables are *rich* sources of complex carbs. Not to mention that if you have them with more protein/fat, you'll reduce the glycemic load of the meal. Wild rice and buckwheat, by the way, are not true grains, and perhaps you'd tolerate them?

    You start by doing! That you already have a number of gluten free meals is a great starting point, and now you have to look at how you can creatively replace the gluten that's in the other meals. I would encourage the whole family to eat gluten free at shared meals - it's easier on prep, easier on her mentally, and still healthy and tasty. Creativity is...

    Welcome! That's absolutely a source of contamination. My husband and I have a mostly-gluen-free kitchen. He has some instant oatmeal, granola bars, and bread (not for sandwiches) that he has, but anything cooked in the kitchen is gluten-free, and anything I make (for us, for family, for guests, etc.) is gluten free.

    Many celiacs live there with no problems. I used to live there, and found a number of options - from grocery stores to restaurants (not just a number of the big chains). The west coast in general (SoCal, NorCal, Portland, Seattle, anyway) is relatively gluten-free-friendly (even if I haven't found a Gluten-free Casein-free pizza place ).

    Gluten's very sticky, and strainers are *very* hard to clean well - even a good scrub (which a dishwasher won't do) would be suspect to me. Different strainers is definitely the way to go.

    When you go gluten free, what are you eating? What are you thinking about? What are you doing? Basically, what other changes occur in your life. Irritability, when you start the diet especially, seems quite normal to me. You're basically going from "here's something that safe - nay, healthy - for everyone, and is hence everywhere, and I'm saying it...

    If you eat a varied diet, of fresh foods, there shouldn't be anything in bread/wheat that you can't get. Wheat, on it's own, isn't even as nutritious as other good gluten free grains like quinoa and amaranth. One thing that can be an issue for celiacs is getting enough folic acid, which most commercial wheat products (bread, breakfast cereal, flour, and...

    Some people have a difficult time with some foods - it's a matter of finding out what your body likes and doesn't like. I have no idea why the nurse would have given you a blanket statement of no beans. Is there another condition that you're dealing with? No matter what, though, if it doesn't agree with you, don't eat it. (On something like green beans...

    I would be careful to not phrase it as "celiacs cannot drink alcohol" because there are MANY alcoholic beverages that are completely gluten free. But saying that it has affected your digestive tract so severely that you cannot handle it without getting sick could be an example of how it affects different people in different ways, and can affect them severely...

    Besides the negative side effects from stopping antidepressants cold turkey, it will make it harder to figure out what causes any results if you make more than one change at a time. Change one variable at a time in your experiment, and it will be a more reliable and worthwhile experiment.

    Welcome. It sounds like you've been through a lot, and I'm not really sure what to say, other than to make sure you know that spelt is NOT gluten free.

    So as not to exacerbate my hypoglycemia, I also look for these. I generally end up going for ones that are made from hemp and/or flax seeds. Bumble bars work well also, as do Alpsnack. (For the most part, you're not going to get higher protein without higher fat, but fat isn't evil. )
  25. tarnalberry
    Must depend on the exact mix. The ones I used to use (and love) had dairy. I totally believe that there are some that don't have any, of course.
