ARCHIVED Gluten in Plastic?!
Ennis-TX replied to GFrapunzel's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Would this type of plastic be the kind used in the epoxy paste for setting of fake/movie prop teeth? I know I got really nauseated, headache, brain fog, and had to lay down and passed out both times I have tried to wear them. Very different reaction from anything else. I thought it was the chemicals and some kind of odd response with my body. Sorta bummed... -
ARCHIVED Trying to find out if my son has celiac
Ennis-TX replied to EKhas2017's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
The Blood test would be worth doing, if you get tested and he comes back positive it will not only provide peace of mind, but also help get him on support programs in school where they will help accommodate his food issues as a disability. Also I might suggest having your other son tested. Celiac manifest itself differently in everyone some are silent and... -
ARCHIVED Taking the lactose intolerance seriously
Ennis-TX replied to SueMD's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Enzymes do not help me, it is a food I am intolerant to and have been for 10+ years, and a allergy to whey...personally it really is poison to me. I am sorry for putting my mental mindset over others when it comes to dairy, just my personal response to it is quite bad and has it drilled into me that dairy=poision much longer then I even had the celiac... -

Well once your go gluten-free and stay on that diet a a lot of the anxiety will go away and your energy will go back up as you heal. As for working, non food industry type stuff is pretty safe, just bring your own meals to lunch and lay out some paper towels or napkins when you eat. And always wash your hands before touching your food or your mouth. You...

ARCHIVED Taking the lactose intolerance seriously
Ennis-TX replied to SueMD's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Sorry for my overstatement but to me it is poison, I end up vomiting and all kinds of gastrointestinal distress if I consume dairy. It is not a choice for me just a fact of life my body can not handle it, even things not containing lactose, I am allergic to whey also, but dairy products are just evil in my mind. Top it off with the hormones, etc. its food... -

Diary Free Cheese, Nut and seed milks, nut based yogurts, and dairy free ice cream..... Hell I even am now catering dairy free chopped and rolled ice at events, and my bakery is featuring... -
ARCHIVED Products for Celiac Disease And Anaphylactic Nut Allergy?
Ennis-TX replied to Echoingmuse's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Gerbs Allergen Friendly Foods, they make seeds, seed meals, seasonings, dried fruit, all nut and allergen free. I have a issue with peanuts (legume not nut). Luckly I can live off almonds and seeds but to avoid peanuts I have to buy all my seeds from Gerbs and special source my nuts. -
ARCHIVED 3 Months Gluten Free
Ennis-TX replied to *Allie*'s topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
1. How long were you gluten-free before doing the challenge? 2. Eating gluten damages the intestines of those with celiac disease as our bodies attack and destroy the villi in the process leading malabsorbtion of nutrients. You might still be recovering from your challenge damage and this can take months. Though I find it odd that this much could have been... -
ARCHIVED Now it's my turn
Ennis-TX replied to Feeneyja's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thoughts on the iron and sodium...Look at Pea Protein. I cook with it and eat chips made of it.

Ennis-TX replied to S2011V's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Red Gold, and Muir Glen are both gluten-free. ONLY 2 brands I trust, I also buy unsalted versions. I make my own pasta, pizza, salsa, BBQ sauces, I have to make mine lower carb, no olive oil, no sugars. I use stevia in sweet sauces, I water them down by 50% with water then add konjac flour to thicken it into a sauce to reduce sugar carbs per serving, and... -
ARCHIVED Bringing Gluten Containing Foods to the FDA Attention
Ennis-TX posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
GFD recently did a post on how they are working to bring foods the the FDAs attention and getting them to act when they are discovered to contain unlisted gluten or gluten in gluten free foods. I thought this was interesting and nice to see someone fighting for this Open Original Shared Link -

ARCHIVED Anxiety and muscle pain
Ennis-TX replied to Feesa's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Top suggestions for both issues. Magnesium and a B vitamin supplment Two options I suggest for magnesium. Natural Vitality Calm, is very effective but can bit a bit harsh on your gut. Suggest starting off with 1/4tsp work working the dose up over a week or so to what works. OR Doctors best is much easier on the stomach version that will not cause gut... -
Yes if it does not state the source of the said ingredient, or is not labeled gluten-free. In most cases companies will list if it is based from gluten, some rare times they will not OR they might source said ingredient from a new supplier or make a mistake on a order form sourcing a wheat based form unknowingly this leads to those recalls you see with undeclared...

ARCHIVED Gluten free and Vegan? (WHO scary research?!)
Ennis-TX replied to KathleenH's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
The ones stored in brine in cans are going to be mushy and very very salty. NOT good for cooking. The brands I mentioned can be purchases internationally on Amazon. Luckyvitamin used to ship internationally also. -
ARCHIVED Gluten free and Vegan? (WHO scary research?!)
Ennis-TX replied to KathleenH's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Probably go ahead and throw all gluten foods away, same with used condiment jars, tubaweare containers etc. Make sure clean our your drawers of all crumbs, get utensil organizers or liners in there to "Just Be sure" clean out and wipe down everything, get a new gluten-free dedicated toaster and pots and pans if yours have scratches which could harbor gluten... -

Ennis-TX replied to KathleenH's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Vegan protein powders are used daily by most vegans for protein supplementation. Pea and pumpkin are high in iron, magnesium, and zinc. Blends works best like Nutra Key-V pro, MRM Veggie Elite, and Jarrow Plant protein blends.

Note you cook these in a Muffin tin or they will spread out to much. These are SUPER SOFT and MOIST and fall apart easy, depending on your almond butter you might have to adjust the flour. I use my artisan blends in this myself. 1/2 cup Almond Butter (120g) 3 tbsp applesauce (45g) 1 tsp pure vanilla extract 1/3 cup xylitol (85g) 3 tbsp coconut flour...
