    Yeah my facility is not large enough nor does it meet the criteria. >.< Major issue is while my kitchen is all stainless counters, and NTF styled with commercial ware the fact I live in the same building and use the kitchen for personal use prevents me from using it for commercial sales, I would also need to upgrade with a new bakers oven for more production...

    So diagnosed with celiac years ago, I opted to make the best of my cooking and culinary skills and start baking and doing chef jobs for others with these diet restrictions. This enabled me to better myself, help others, and PAY for this diet. I opened up a cottage home bakery, sold at farmers markets, and did local deliveries. This went on for several years...

    Yeah it is sort of the club you never wanted to join, but at least you have answers and can put a end to all these crazy things happening and perhaps heal a few. The disease is a autoimmune disease that is genetic and can be dormant for years. A shock to the immune system normally can either bring the disease out or change the symptoms/cause your immune system...

    Try keeping a food diary for now, and recording what food are giving you the heartburn, See about rotating foods and removing certain spices, seasons, and staples from your diet for a few weeks at a time. Remove dairy and oats also. With this disease it is very common to develop other food intolerance issues, the damage leads the body to have these. A intolerance...

    Um this sounds like my run in with UC over the years, I kept a food diary and found that grains, carbs, fruit, large amounts of onion, garlic, or spices caused very painful bloat, distention, and bloody stools. I assumed it was bad gut bacteria for years and went low carb. I learned last year via colonoscopy that I had Ulcerative Colitis, and it would flare...

    ARCHIVED Glutened?

    Ennis-TX replied to April36's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    I use Liquid Health Stress & Energy and their Neurological Support formula 1tbsp each 3 times a day before a meal for B-vitamins. My loose stools lasted about about a week this last exposure. Before that exposure it was over 3 weeks? Anyway I had to lower my magnesium levels and try eating stuff like coconut flour and eggs and coconut flour porridge...

    I wish you luck and that you get the endoscope soon, keep on the gluten diet for now til you get the testing done. The constipation is normally caused by a magnesium deficiency. Natural Vitality Calm can help with this, start off in small doses 1/4 tsp a day and slowly up (a scale and by the gram is better) til you get hte full 2 tsp (4g) space the dose...

    Umm I still have to take insane amounts of magnesium, I take a powdered version in a drink, Natural Vitality Calm, I learned it was best to spread my doses out, I used to use a tsp, but I changed to a scale and measure to the gram. I found my dose by taking it til I got loose stools then I backed it down 2-4grams and vary it by that depending on how I need...

    ARCHIVED Glutened?

    Ennis-TX replied to April36's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    Yeah, that is one of the major signs, I mean your body is not absorbing food, B-vitamins, magnesium, iron, etc. are being hampered during a exposure, your dumping your guts out to the porclain gods and not getting what your need from what you eat. Top it off with your immune system is going bonkers in overdrive trying to kill the gluten proteins and attacking...

    Ulcerative Colitis
  11. Ennis-TX
    Amusingly few points this brings up" 1. If your still B12 deficient look up KAL Nutritional Yeast, and just use it as a condiment or make cheese sauces with it. Liquid Health has blends like Stress & Energy and Neurological support as many B-vitamins work together, Or they sell a plain B12 sublingual you can add to a drink. 2. Tequilas made from agave...

    Update on this, I had multiple food intolerance issues come back after this exposure. Taken awhile but I have nailed down, Red Chili Flakes, Red pepper, Bell Pepper, Olive Oil, pectin, and the food color Red 40 are back on my avoidance list. Been dealing with 1,2 combo by the exposure flaring up my UC,

    4 of the wholefoods I visit in the area all have them, they also have that miyoko I was talking about. Along with some new kind of nut cheese I have not tried due to xantham gum....and a whole bunch of others I want to try but are cost prohibitive.....side note I got some KiteHill Ricotta out of date for free yesterday....stuff is awesome in a scramble with...

    I have used POF and Cupid.....most people see gluten free and move on lol, I have had messages with jokes cracking back and poking fun. I think this is propaganda for match.com lol
  15. Ennis-TX
    Look for local groups on Facebook, I have a local celiac group, and a GenerationGF group here in my area. If you have a dedicated gluten free bakery etc. In town ask if you can put up a flier that your looking for a Gluten Free roommate with celiacs disease. Other thoughts for CCed house, Freezer paper/butcher paper for prep surface and eating mat great...

    Yeah I did some checking daiya changed recipe, they now make a new style that is for pizza called cutting board that is more stretchy/melt. It comes in Mozzarella, cheddar, and pepper jack. The plain shreds do not melt like they used to, and now have the added xantham gum. I went to the store yesterday and found another cheese called veganmoz by miyoko...

    I think the meds might be causing it...PS if you want to get over it faster...avoid fever reducers unless you go over 102F. The fever is how you body kills the virus stopping is preventing your body from fighting it. Look up elderberry syrup, Echinacea, and take it with plenty of liquids, vitamin C, and zinc. These will help, I also take slippery elm for...

    Out of curiosity I did the same at 2 whole foods and a natural grocers down here, only the new one....side note I found the only store bought bread I can stomach in stock. They actually carry Julian Bakery Paleo Bread now...starch free, gum free....I was tempted to get one of the almond ones again since I can make the coconut one in my own bakery.

    Flavor probably,,,texture no. The thing that gives non dairy cheese that stretchy melty goodness is normally tapioca starch. When I make non dairy cheese at home, and I used to want it super stretchy I added tapioca starch. MY gut is iffy with the stuff now days and not made my super stretchy cheese in awhile. The Leaf Cuisine does not contain any starches...

    We have had some people have issues with this, the gluten is in the tops of the plant in the grain, if the child eats it, puts it in their mouth this can cause a issues. Due to the nature of it being a unground grain cross contamination concerns are greatly reduced but I would still avoid contact. Have them wash their hands when they come in, and insist they...

    I started using Spicely Organics years ago as they are certified gluten free....honestly my nima has also given them a clear bill of health.
  22. Ennis-TX
    Bit confused into what your inquiring, I can give you some references to the newbie 101 section and a list of gluten free alternatives. Most find it easier to start off on a whole foods only diet, no processed foods just simple whole food meals, this will boost healing and keep it simple. Stuff like crock pot meals of roast, soups, stews, omelettes,...
  23. Ennis-TX
    The above from tessa is some good info, but do recall you will have to do a gluten challenge first, this involves eating gluten daily for 12 weeks about 1/2 a slice of bread a day at least. If you want to make sure it is a GLUTEN issue and not some other ingredient we have had members use vital wheat gluten and wheat germ by the tsp daily for the challenge...
  24. Ennis-TX
    I keep seeing this and it bugs the life out of me. While being a child the daughter might not have the damage some of use older celaics had when diagnosed but dairy is a common issue for those of us just diagnosed. You might want to go easy on the milk, cheese, cream. You can sub nut milks like cashew, almond, and coconut (canned is great in creamy tomato...
  25. Ennis-TX
    For it me used to be a combo deal, I was constipated for days over a week constantly....that packs up, and the rotting fermenting food can cause a inflammatory effect and water retention in addition. You also have the low energy reserves so your might not be as active as others. Then you have the fact your body is actually starving for certain nutrients and...
