    millet, quinoa, amarath, buckwheat - all are gluten free and can be used in many cases where rice might be.

    If you scroll down on this thread, you'll find a number of brands of gluten free dog (and cat) food. Many of us use grain free foods for the health of our pets, and to reduce contamination risk in the home.

    I've never had eating before going to a restaurant, not drinking, or bringing my own food anywhere make me feel like a social outcast or have my friends treat me oddly.... So, it sounds snarky, and I *definitely don't mean it to*, but... perhaps a perspective change on what you need to feel included? Maybe not... just what struck me when I read the post...

    They are, aren't they? Makes training a hoot, since you have to be on your toes to keep them from getting bored! We won't try an un-enforceable come for a long time yet (at least another six months of training it on a long line), but so far, he's done great. Both for "come" (our command) and "here" (our request). It takes *a lot* of time to train...

    Good for him!!! He's taking the pragmatic approach - if it (the gluten free diet) makes you feel better, do it! If it makes you feel feel worse (eating gluten), don't do it! Of course, what *you* think is most important, but if you are going to get tested, you need to be on a gluten-FILLED diet for three months prior to testing. (The equivalent of three...

    Every restaurant with a gluten-free menu that I've seen has also had a warning that said, essentially, "we try our best, but we cannot absolutely prevent cross-contamination. this is at your own risk." there's a lot of evaluation, going in, to figure out if the risk (which varies at every instance) is worth the reward.

    Some more pictures of Neo - both feeling unwell (we think it's a bad case of teething) and playing like crazy (taken on back to back days). Open Original Shared Link (I'm a sucker for pet pictures. )

    The Safeway near me has the new boxes - unfortunately, both the strawberry and chocolate flavors - while gluten free - are NOT dairy free. who needs milk powder on a cereal?!?!

    Were they eggs, or egg beaters? (or some other variation of "not a natural, whole egg"?) in the latter case, the label makes sense. otherwise, that's a wonky label you got there!

    In my job, it varies a lot from manager to manager, even though the work is the same. Honestly, you don't need to cook during the workday, you can do it when you get home, so I might not say "because I need to cook while I'm working"; it's not going to be seen as a valid medical reason. I've contemplated doing that for the noise sensitivity I get (but...

    Oh absolutely! Most of these little sorts of things get done through phone calls and faxes, not going in personally. Call the office, let them know what you need, and there's a good chance it'll get taken care of.

    It's pretty common, really, to find dogs with one intolerance or another. My dog appears to have an issue with dairy (and he's not the only one in his litter with that issue).

    masa harina is gluten free - the lime is not a gluten ingredient. (it's actually not the citrus lime, but the chemical, to process the corn.)

    From my first adult GP, as this was the case for me: testing for reactive hypoglycemia is difficult without staying in a lab all the time, and when my doc found that my fasting blood sugar was normal, but on the low side, she said "you know what, symptoms are part of the diagnostics, let's see if treating it makes you feel better". what I've discovered...

    The trouble with not following this sort of dietary restriction is that - unlike anaphylactic allergies - they don't kill you in 30 minutes. They kill you in 10, 20, or 30 years. But they will kill you. It's sometimes hard to say no to our desire for immediate gratification, however, when our delayed gratification is decades away. (Assuming, as you say...

    Going gluten free, even with celiac, IS technically a choice. You have the right to choose to eat gluten, damaging your intestines, causing yourself pain, making yourself sick, increasing your chances of cancer, and - on average - shortening your lifespan by 10 years, if the tradeoff of the taste of a wheat-based cinnamon roll or wheat-based cookie is worth...

    I've never heard of arthritis *not* being covered by disability laws, even in canada. That's odd. I'm going to say much the same thing, sometimes, you have to suck it up, and despite the screaming pain, go to class anyway. Do you do as well? No. You do the best you can, that's all you can ever do. That's life. I agree that, in this situation, though...

    I know the following are available in grain-free cat formulations: Evo (Natura) Instinct (Nature's Variety) Orijen (Champion) Wellness Core (Old Mother Hubbard) Taste of the Wild (Diamond) Natural Balance Limited Ingredient Diets (Dick Van Patten's) Before Grain (Merrick) Honest Kitchen (dried raw)

    I presume you know about these, but here's a list of the grain free (and hence gluten free) dog kibbles I know of (obviously, I've left raw foods off the list, as most prepared raw foods are gluten-free): Evo (Natura) Instinct (Nature's Variety) Orijen (Champion) Wellness Core (Old Mother Hubbard) Taste of the Wild (Diamond) Go! and Now! (grain free...

    Another reason: celiac doesn't cause people to start choking and gasping for air, unable to breath, with death following shortly thereafter. Anaphylactic food allergies do. You can argue that celiac can still kill you, but the death isn't nearly as dramatic, and drama makes a difference...

    If he does, describing it as a "hormone imbalance" is ... a little o_O.

    If you do a lot of backpacking, consider investing in a dehydrator. There's all kinds of stuff you can make ahead of time, dehydrate, and then rehydrate in a ziploc bag with some boiling water. Easy to make on the trail, as tasty as homemade (because it is), and clean up is just sealing the bag.

    There's a book you may find interesting: Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers. Written for lay people, it is well backed up in it's reference table and sources cited, and easily accessible. It doesn't discuss fibro specifically, but it is very relevant. There is significant evidence towards at least some subset of fibromyalgia has to do with overextension of...

    I developed fibromyalgia four years after I went gluten free, three years after I went dairy free/soy light. A number of things were tested for (including RA and Lyme), and I'm pretty sure that it's fibro I have. I caught it early (about as early as you can be diagnosed with it), and am almost certain that it was caused by significant, unrelenting stress...
