    Liver!! Super cheap, super full of metals. If you hate the taste, caramelized onions and bacon will balance out the taste. Ironized yeast if you can find it. Helped my mom years ago, and she cannot tolerate supplements also. But, uh, she can't find ironized yeast either.

    I tried working as a cashier at a grocery store fairly a few months ago, and simply from the bags of flour and boxes of pancake mix getting on my clothes and my hands, I found I was getting glutened. Maybe if I hadn't needed a water bottle because I need it, or if it hadn't been constantly busy so I could, say, see someone with a flour product and call over...

    It being a church, particularly if it's a small, inclusive sort of church, I would be a little shocked that -someone- wouldn't go out of their way to provide food for food sensitive members of the church. Isn't that sort of kindness and attention that one would expect from a church? Don't get me wrong, I wholly think that it's the mother's responsibility...

    The worst glutening symptom for me is depression. It's a b%$@# because of course, when it happens, I want to not care about my diet too. And it takes a while for me to feel better afterwards too. And because mood is so subjective anyways, I don't even know necessarily if I've been glutened or I just feel like crap for other things. It's hard because it sabotages...

    Eggs, nearly every morning. I sometimes make buckwheat banana pancakes with apple cider instead of milk or water. Soooo good. Scrambled eggs with onion is standard. Sometimes I melt Daiya in them (cheese substitute), sometimes hot sauce, sometimes ketchup, sometimes mushrooms, peppers and/or tomato (I would have tomato more but partner hates it)...

    ARCHIVED Neuropathy

    Azenka replied to Marie1976's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Too much B6 is also a known cause of neuropathy and nerve damage, (a source, but I've read other, better ones years ago) Open Original Shared Link Other source I've read showed that even 50mg a day can be too much for some. Unfortunately every B vitamin complex seems to have a minimum of 50mg of it. B12 deficiency can cause neuropathy, as can folate (it...

    New Grist makes a light beer from sorghum I like a lot.

    Unfortunately I don't deal well with my own emotions. Periods of intense depression, outbursts of anger and anxiety that I now associate with undiagnosed celiac disease are why I don't have a career. Short-term though, realizing that it's not you but something else controlling you, paradoxically, can help a lot. It WILL pass, and you'll probably find patterns...

    Sounds real sanitary. Open Original Shared Link

    Coffee can be cross contaminated. If this is your issue, you're probably just lucky the Costco brand hasn't bothered you yet either.

    I used to regularly have hot and cold spells, feeling like I'd always have a low-grade fever but never actually did, prior to diagnosis. They were one of my first symptoms to largely just disappear thankfully.

    Just a general rant. I'm sick of this, every time I eat something that I -should- be able to have, it's like 'nope, can't have that'. Can't have coffee, can't have chocolate, can't have sulfites, the popsicles I'm eating I probably shouldn't be, that bouillon probably not safe, daiya might not be safe, my stash of spices might not be safe. I can't tell anymore...

    ty for the link, good read I would not be surprised if ncgi were just another manifestation of celiac disease. Rather, that celiac disease itself is just a highly specific form of what's basically the same thing.

    I believe people who say they have reactions to certain alcohols, and I also believe people who don't have reactions to those same alcohols. If I don't understand how something works, I ask. That's why I'm asking. To tell me 'it's fine that you don't understand something' when I'm asking to understand something is completely misreading the intent of the...

    So what happens if some of the gluten molecules get broken down before distillation happens and the distillation process isn't refined enough to get rid the fractions of molecules? We already know there's variability in what some celiacs react to (eg: oats) also, so it seems very possible that some celiacs could have autoimmune reactions to only fragments...

    While we're on it, what about their ice cream? Specifically, does anyone have casein sensitivity react to it? They only advertise as lactose free.

    I don't get why different distilled vodkas all taste different from each other when all they're supposed to be is alcohol due to the distillation. I would drink lab-grade ethyl alcohol made from anything, I trust science. I'm just not sure I trust vodka manufacturers. I have no personal experience one way or the other reacting to it, I've just avoided it...

    Anyone ever react to this product and what's your sensitivity level generally?

    I feel worse when I overdo the exersise, and when I say overdo don't mean pushing myself at the gym. A full day's work of not-hard physical labor will make my peripheral neuropathy worse (biggest indicator of gluten ingestions) and of course make my overall feel like I've got the flu. Also pretty sure I've been glutened by dry wall compound, but then again...

    This is coming from a non-baker, but the best homemade gluten free buns I've eaten, that were squishy and pretty soft and very tasty, seemed to have A LOT of oil.

    All you can do is explain as you've done for us. It seems that you're doing very well with it already, I think. Your uncomfortable friend will either get used to it or, well, they won't. The level of depth you get into explaining yourself to your friend really depends on how close the two of you are. 1 person being uncomfortable doesn't, to me, make...

    Probiotics never made me feel any good.

    It took me awhile to notice what my gluten-ingestion symptoms were. Your entire family may notice things once you're gluten free for awhile. It sounds like a good policy to adopt is a strict 'no hands in your mouth' rule for both you and your kids. No fingernail biting, teeth picking, etc, unless you've just washed your hands. If this is followed your...
