Chocolate Love & Hate
Ennis-TX posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Thought I would bring up my most recent addiction. I always loved and had MAD cravings for chocolate. Not the sweet stuff, the powder is always what I craved, the darker the better. This was in part due to extreme anemia, and huge issues with getting enough iron due to internal bleeding issues with UC (I got cravings for dirt and chocolate but would just... -
In Okinawa for a week - day 1 nightmare
Ennis-TX replied to Leuconostoc's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Had a flashback of going on vacation once without enough food, I ended up walking the 5mile round trip to a grocery store to get cartons of egg whites, fresh veggies, and almond milk. I overstock everything now when I go places due to this lol. -
Quite new and worried
Ennis-TX replied to Rebelliott's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Yeah me either, only 1-2tbsp of apple sauce in some whole batches as a binder in muffin for me is my limit. I do not tolerate sugars at all or I start bleeding....UC flare ups are bad. But I live on vegan proteins, nuts ,seeds, egg whites, and low carb veggies. I also do not tolerate animal fats, and meats go straight though me undigested or puked up hours... -
Lack of motivation, adderal the solution?
Ennis-TX replied to Victoria1234's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Yeah it works, just try to be careful with and do rotate off it for good amounts of time, the addiction to is killer, and can make you manic, and crazy. I used to rely on it too much way back and getting off was nightmare. -

In Okinawa for a week - day 1 nightmare
Ennis-TX replied to Leuconostoc's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Ugg I feel you there huge japan fan here, normally I would suggest nordicware, microwave cooking ware, and buying raw fish, egg,s and veggies then cooking in the steamer, grill plate, and omelette maker for these kinds of trips or bringing meal bars. I have carb issues also and eat ketogenic, while they might not taste that good julian bakery make protein... -
Found this article about a 11 year old with celiac who was forced to eat outside after being told he could not bring and eat his own "Safe" food into Shields Tavern. Biggest point was the social impact it had on the kid and the way it was handled. I think this will bring up a new perspective and in the end perhaps open more restaurants to understanding...

Vitamin D3 supplement without lanolin?
Ennis-TX replied to Whitepaw's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Lanolin to my knowledge is used in skin based applications only, if your needing D3 the best way is to get a sublingual in a dropper you can use there are many available. I personally use Liquid Health and just add it to a drink once or twice a week. https://www.luckyvitamin.com/p-95099-liquid-health-vitamin-d3-drops-1000-iu-2-03-oz BTW while your looking... -
Help!
Ennis-TX replied to Mandysue's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Sounds like gluten might have snuck back into your diet, either a condiment, spice, a contaminated pot, utensil, bowl, or cup. Is your whole house gluten-free? Are you still fixing gluten meals for the kids? Once you go completely gluten free after the first few months many become hyper sensitive to gluten, where as a tiny amount of CC throws it all off the... -
Am I Missing Something? Seems too easy
Ennis-TX replied to Deades's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
YES get the blood test and the endoscope done if you can, if your doctor will put the dia. formally on your records without these then your blessed in a way. I had a similar issues getting mine done. You have to be eating gluten for 12 weeks at least a half slice of bread a day for the antibodies to build up for the blood testing, 2 weeks for the damage etc... -
I will just stick with christopherbean company, the fact the main sales rep I talk to has celiac in the family means a lot, she said they use it all the time. I tested some of the iffiest flavored version grounds for gluten all negative. NOT had any issues drinking all kinds of coffee from their company in the past few months. FACT the flavored ones actually...

You responded to a post that is from 2009, Side thought many celiacs react badly to dairy based foods and products. Other thoughts you can find pure proteins, non dairy, hypoallergenic, gluten free, etc much easier now days. I personally use NutraKey V-Pro, MRM Veggie Elite, Naked Pea, Nutrbiotic Rice, Jarrow Hemp, Organ Seed Company Pumpkin, MRM Sancha...

Yeah with the chocolate, I can attest that it really helps with ones mood, problem is most cocoa is processed and defatted, your best best are RAW cocoa from BigTree, Cocoa Nibs, or my personal favorite Crio Bru which is ground cocoa nibs that are meant as a coffee replacement >.> I eat them by the hand full with a bit of sweetener or over food/deserts...

Surprise biopsy
Ennis-TX replied to Mrs. Doodlepunk's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
While celiac is primarily a genetic disease, there are cases of it appearing in people that have NO genetic history of it, nor the genes for it and it develops as a complete mutation caused by a trigger normally associated with some kind of shock or trauma to the immune system. There the same theory that that applies to bringing out the dormant gene for the... -
Turmeric
Ennis-TX replied to mgrant7209's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Spicely Organics lab certifies all their spices gluten-free. The turmeric and curry powder they have is safe, also Thai Kitchen Curry Paste is certified Gluten free....I like you do not trust the normal curry powders or most blends with it. -
Am I Missing Something? Seems too easy
Ennis-TX replied to Deades's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Yep I nailed a JAXpac meal prep kit on amazon day and have been leaving my house more with it packing my own gluten-free herbed flat bread, salads, almond butter, and seeds with me. Made a nice vegan taco soup the other day with my own cheese sauce, keto salsa (watered down low carb version thickened to a sauce with konjac) miracle rice, and jackfruit meat... -
D3 should be taken every 3-7days not daily. It stays in your body for awhile and is easy to OD with causing nausea and vomiting.
-
A good amount of the neurological effects from celiac are also related to nutrient deficiencies caused by malabsorbtion from damaged intestines and the fact that most gluten-free foods are not fortified and your net eating many grains. You sound good about the CC and everything and seem to be taking percations goods, I still use freezer paper for a clean...

Started thinking the only cereal I allow in my house is Vans, they have a cinnamon one that is like a captain crunch with cinnamon, and a strawberry O type that I keep in stock for a friend that comes over sometimes and for my cousins littler girls who I end up babysitting sometimes. There was a coconut flake (corn flake knock) off I used to eat, but the...

No Oj for me today
Ennis-TX replied to Awol cast iron stomach's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
HEB organics does not bother me at all. Their plain one has to be boiled before I can drink it so I tend to use it in moderation in cooking...it also has xantham gum which explained that issue. MALK gives me no issues (Local Only Brand I think). Used to drink something called Mooala but could not find it unsweetened after my UC dia. Almond Breeze is next... -
Lack of motivation, adderal the solution?
Ennis-TX replied to Victoria1234's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Yeah I have 2 stationary pedal bikes. I use one on the desk sometimes while watching a show and work out my arms. I keep one under the desk and pedal on it for hours a day, really helps with my restless leg issues and stress (just gotta keep moving or I start feeling like a panic attack is coming on trapped by life like a rat in a cage. If you need to... -

Ennis-TX replied to Awol cast iron stomach's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Yeah the histamine thing hit home a bit for me, as it mentioned everyone has their upper limits on it...explains why green canned fresh tomatoes fine...overly ripe sweet ones....instant puking, and why I have to really limit anything the citric acid, lemon, lime, garlic, onion, etc to very small amounts. Sorta funny how that works. like everything has a invisible... -
Question about testing for celiac
Ennis-TX replied to Jules22's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Leg pain can be a symptoms of celiac or NCGS. Cause can also be from a deficiency brought on from different causes including celiac. How are her magnesium levels? And B-Vitamin Levels? Bit of a joke, doctors call their occupation a "Practice" seems they need more practice. -
I keep my eggy flat bread in the freezer for quick fixes of eggs normally. But I do sometimes make a porridge out of almond and coconut meal, Konjac flour can be used to thicken stuff into a nice porridge wand works great with almond butter. and I sometimes make a oatmeal knock off using Miracle rice, almond milk, and a bit of coconut flour. I can not eat...

Quite new and worried
Ennis-TX replied to Rebelliott's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
How are you with beans, and apples? I have a vegan recipe for bread that is about like corn bread. It uses garbanzo and fava bean flour and apple sauce as a binder instead of eggs if I recall. I use it to make the bread for thanksgiving dressing now days. I think I posed it in the recipe section somewhere.
