    On the constipation, Natural Vitality Calm, works with mood swings and some other anxiety issues, along with muscle cramps etc. Dose to tolerance, scale works best but start at 1/4tsp (1-2g) and each day up the dose that much til you get loose stools, then back it down a few grams. You will find your dosing might need to vary, working out, stress, etc. can...

    Isn't zertec corn free? I found a syrup called Texas clear that is safe. Will add photos when I get home

    Movie theater....not a place for airborne gluten unless yours had a bakery inside. Do you have a problem with corn? I am allergic to corn myself, and movie theaters always result in rashes, fever, racing heart, problems breathing etc. And yes mask are wonderful ,there is a company that makes pollution mask that work wonders in these kinds of situations. Open...

    Just be careful the the food and avoid foods that would have a "dust". I found with my bearded dragon this vitamin powder contained gluten and I had to toss it and just keep him on a varied diet. Also found this meal worms contain gluten, and I bet the crickets do but I handle them with feeding tweezers. Always wash you hands, and if handling the foods I...

    Amusingly not many issues with the diet as the Paleo diet it is based on is our natural diet.....Keto is still more natural then the carb diet most live on now days...our ancestors did not have fruit year around, and would not bother with grains in many climates or areas. It was meat, greens, nuts, etc. Rotate your greens, have small amounts of low sugar...

    Celiac can develop at any time during your life, also the testing if NOT the full panel can miss it, on top of that some people do not show on the blood test but have damage show on the endoscope and biopsies. Other times they can miss the damage with biopsies as the surface area of the intestines is large then a tennis court. Open Original Shared Link...

    Yes you have to be eating gluten for 8-12 weeks actually, at least once a day. Some find it easier to do by eating it before bed, Either a slice of bread, a few wheat thins, or a tsp or 2 of vital wheat gluten, Open Original Shared Link The rebound of worse symptoms is pretty standard with celiac, almost all of us get MUCH worse symptoms to even tiny...

    I will sometimes ask what they are cooking and make my own version that is safe. Other times I will eat before hand. BUT my most preferred thing is actually being the host and cooking foods I know are safe and inviting others to come join me. I always keep emergency meal bars, nuts, seeds that are safe or a MRE meal when I head out. I do not trust...

    Vitamin C is needed to absorb iron, I take Ester-C which is supposed to be easier on the stomach. I also use stuff like Growing Naturals pea protein (check iron on it) since I can not eat red meats much. Red meats are suggested as a great way to get iron. SIBO, you might want to try a keto diet to treat it. With SIBO the bacteria feed on sugars/carbs...

    IT was over almost 2 years but for almost the first full year after dia. I was stuck in a shared house with gluten eaters and got sick few times a week. Also if I get CCed I deal with over a weeks of minor issues til my system goes back to normal...like a rubber band in slow mo with bowel and nerve issues.

    I am 5' 11" and 130lbs I eat like crazy and even take scoops of protein powder before bed. Tons of fats with nut butters, baked goods made with nut meals, seed meals, practically binge on cocoa nibs, scoops of protein powders, avocados, bloody 8-12 egg quiches, scrambles with my own flat breads/coconut wraps, califlour pizza with eggs vegan cheese and veggies...

    I would assume you have it and just got lucky with a mild reaction. Eating gluten with celiac is dangerous long term, it can not only lead to damaged intestine but other food allergies, food intolerance issues, food sensitivities, other auto immune disease, thyroid issues, cancers, etc. Do read the newbie 101 section, also avoid eating out at non dedicated...
  13. Ennis-TX
    I found I still have to supplement with B-vitamins, Vitamin D, Magnesium, and take some other things due to my odd diet restrictions. I had to go to a paleo diet with a keto/atkins base to manage another AI condition I got, I found the low/no carb diet removed most of the bloat and the fat/ketones for energy instead of carbs/sugars made it easier for me to...

    I had this same issue with a container of Do Delicious no sugar added icecream. I just gave it away, not worth the risk. If I had gotten a batch of them I would have tested one with a Nima Sensor and gotten a bunch from the same lot # but did not think it was worth it with just the one container I got on a whim.

    Well I do catering and run a small gluten-free bakery myself in Ennis, heck dream of one of these days getting and running a 100% gluten free food truck. Anyway there are a few dedicated restaurants in Dallas, Across the Pond is a English pub, the owner has 2 celiac children and has a dedicated gluten free kitchen. There used to be a Mexican restaurant owned...

    I have my own embarrassing and frustrating story with a F'ed up dia. I had gluten ataxia, constipation, brain fog fatigue, gut pains, etc. I got extremely looping thought processes from the ataxia that would confuse me and make me angry (snap like Mr. Hyde) topped with pain from distention etc. Was running a bucket list and about 5 doctors in before I started...

    Food intolerance issues or sensitivities do go along and randomly crop up with celiac disease. If your intestines are still damaged and your stomach is iffy you might need to cook your food to almost mush to make it easier to digest, and consider taking digestive enzymes to make it easier. Meats can be a issue for some also, try leaner cuts and cooking them...
  18. Ennis-TX
    I think I addressed this before but undigested food and oily stools are signs your not breaking down the foods, many times with celiac and our intestines damaged and digestion hampered we see the pale oily stools. The oily foods point to a enzyme issue with lipase, pancreas, or that the PH of your stomach is not acidic enough to break it down. It could also...

    Try Nuts.com for gluten free nuts most trust them (although they have peanut contamination issues). I get my almonds straight from a farm in cali that only handles almonds, and use them exclusively in my bakery and my almond butters I sell. I found Trader Joes to be a good source for hazelnuts, cashews, pecans, and hamon is great for black walnuts (stronger...

    Rums like James Harbor, Admiral Nelson (I use this in cooking), and Bacardi should be safe. Tequila is generally made from agave and gluten free, some vodkas are good like Titos made from corn (actually called gluten free), and Ciroc made from grapes. Wines are safe normally, I keep and use barefoot for catering and cooking. Hard ciders like Austin...

    I have seen celiacs get that distended look from eating wheat, you might also consider that with the damaged gut you have food sensitivites or a intolerance. The things you mentioned are common ones along with dairy, soy, and in some cases nightshades, spices, onions, garlic, and even carbs/sugars. The damaged gut could have also allowed either or both SIBO...

    LOL yeah I fell into that same thing with hemp -_ - I have to buy my seeds from mygerbs now and mill my own in a coffee burr grinder. But honestly I Nima tested even the gluten-free certified ones to find gluten after getting sick from them....mygerbs is the only place I can get hte hemp seeds safe now, oh and they ship to canada. On other notes, I just...

    Southern Keto Coleslaw (Sweet with a tang) 2lb shredded cabbage 70g grated carrot (5 baby carrots) 1/4 medium onion sliced thin strip (Mandolin cutter on the shallow setting is perfect for this) 220g (about a heaping 3/4 cup) mayo 3 tbsp (45g) Apple Cider Vinegar 2 tbsp Mustard 2-6tbsp Swerve (or other erythritol like pyure, truvia adjust to...

    Yeah food sensitivities are random, and can go away with time as your gut heals. I used to react to sesame seeds/oil, pea protein, and a few others that THANKFULLY went away with time and healing. Coffee is one of those acidic foods, that can be a bit harsh, if you have damaged gut, it could cause inflammation for awhile and require a low acid, decaf version...
  25. Ennis-TX
    I think sensitivities is the class issue he is talking about...I know the body can get confused by thing that are similar to gluten, and eaten with gluten and develop a sensitivities or even allergy. But for another non gluten food to trigger the immune system to destroy your villi, nervous system(gluten ataxia) or skin (DH).....I do not think (would hope...
