  1. The anxiety and stress part of it can take years to go away. Supplementing with B-vitamins, magnesium, and eating foods that promote serotonin production and healthy fats like pumpkin seeds. cocoa nibs can help. I would suggest Liquid health Stress & Energy and Neurological support for b-vitamins due to the presence of D I would suggest a magnesium glycinate...
  2. Protein shakes with nut butters, almond milk and vegan protein powders sip on it throughout the day. I suggest Nutra Key-V-Pro or MRM Veggie elite for main protein blends supplement with extras like Jarrow Plant formula, Jarrow Pumpkin (Pumpkin is high in zinc, magnesium etc. is great for recovery). Focus on a higher fat/protein diet, for me carbs are evil...
  3. OMG, now if only they do a more diabetic like one, like we can test our antibodies in house and get a number lol. We joked about needing a test like that to confirm a celiac flare or something else several times over the past years. But I do see this test being useful and the same time being abused. I would like to see where it goes.
  4. SO I need some help or tell me if this works fine. I made a grain free skillet cookie with some modifications. I made it low/no sugar and ketogenic. It taste good...addicting where I had to hide it. But something is missing, like a nutty dough flavor...but still great. Anyone want to make it and give me some opinions? Perhaps brag what extras you put in it...
  5. Celiac might be your issue, but I can say I also have been dealing with severe constipation most of my life. I thought the days of not going and sometimes lasting up to 11 days was normal. I found it to be one of my celiac symptoms, and seems to be compounded by ulcerative colitis damage. I can tell you what I use to manage it, for the constipation the main...
  6. I had 1-2 normally.....last test was 6....but I workout all the time and keep walking/cycling all day. If you wish to help raise it combining vitamin C with high iron foods should work for you. Iron supplementation but be a bit much at your levels but I am not a doctor. I like to use pea protein, pumpkin seed protein, etc as they are high in iron with each...
  7. I think this article points to some good points for some who test negative for celiac but have issues with wheat. It might just be fructans and perhaps we should start asking next of onions, garlic, brussels, asparagus etc. also sets them off. I recalled I considered this possibility that I might have in combination with celiac, but oddly I am completely...
  8. Celiac/NCGS=gluten free for life, no if and or buts about it. Tiniest residue crumb and you body will ramp up antibodies for weeks and keep damaging you. As mentioned it can take years to heal. And easy to fall back with CC or cheating. Dairy intolerance might go away, it is caused by the villi in your intestines being blunted and damaged, teh tips of them...
  9. I have no clue of the cause, if actual gluten symptoms, withdrawal, or a form of gluten ataxia like what I get. But I found supplementing was a HUGE help. Also look at foods to increase serotonin levels and melatonin levels. I go to pumpkin seeds and pumpkin protein often and cocoa nibs help GREATLY. Many issues are related to nutrient deficiencies. Look...
  10. This is my old recipe for a grain free pie crust, add 1-2tsp cinnamon to get a gram crust. PS doing this in a flat pan is great for gram crackers. Cooking oil or parchment paper 2 cups almond flour 1/4 tsp. salt plus1/8 tsp. salt Pinch of stevia 2 Tbsp. plus 2 tsp. coconut oil, melted 2 Tbsp. pure maple syrup/sugar free alternative like Lakanto...
  11. The muscle cramps are normally related to a deficiency issue where you can not absorb certain nutrients. The big culprit is magnesium, if your very active or stressed you need even more then normal. A magnesium citrate or magnesium glycinate is suggested. If you have a sensitive gut or easy stools go with glycinate (Doctors best). If you have constipation...
  12. So I saw a chiropractor today after noticing some nerve issues, neck pain and a spasm in my back. I talked them down on cost to a $35 xray and examination, and a $50 adjustment down from $257 and $65. So what I learned, I have a S shaped curvature to my spine that needs to be alignged, and I have osteoporosis in my neck . SO that is the issue with my neck...
  13. Your doctor is a complete quack, you need to get another like what cycling lady said. Celiac can be managed and you can heal but it requires a strict gluten free diet. Crumbs, residue, cross contamination from shared utensils and cookware can cause your antibodies to flare up for weeks and start damaging your again. We do suggest a whole foods only diet...
  14. Many celiacs are still getting sick from gluten-free cheerios, while the debate is out they are all testing below 20ppm (they are testing positive but at levels like 5-15ppm average) SO they claim they are still gluten free. Other opinions and for some celiacs (10%) they respond to oats period in a similar fashion to gluten, so oats have to be removed from...
  15. While initial gut issues generally subside in 2-5 days the immune response in celiac can keep you antibodies raised for 2-6 weeks in some people. Few members have mentioned months before stuff regulated. The headache is one common factor many have with the issues I do not have experience with that aspect but my numbness from my symptoms can last weeks. The...
  16. I have issues digesting foods, meats/animal fats, and certain other fats are a no. I just throw them up hours later, if it floats it will not break down and be puked up hours later, if it sinks as do nut butters, certain fats, certain fish and crab, they tend to go through undigested in the stool. I tried HCL to increase my stomach acid strength but that...
  17. Check the recipe section have some of my reicpes and even a few things from my bakery there https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/119394-gluten-freegrain-free-chocoalte-mug-cake/ https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/119746-grain-free-chocoalte-pumpkin-brownies/ https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/118661-cinnamon-roll-cookie-cake/ https://www.celiac...
  18. You responded to a post from 2012 please check dates. On a side note THANK you on being another grain free follower lol. I also can not have starches myself, and the only animal products I really eat are egg whites since I do not digest meats, egg yolks, and have a dairy intolerance. I do love the Shirataki noodles and rice by miracle noodles, you can even...
  19. Celiac is a bit overwhelming at first but you quickly get used to, the clean out and reading labels was hard but became second nature. The loss of eating out at most places quickly went away, As a chef I cook better stuff anyway then restaurants. And now days you can find gluten free everything, trust me on this I have compiled quite a list of substitutes...
  20. Amazon for most they just ship it to you. Much easier then the store. Also look at spicely website.
  21. I use these 2 blends (1tbsp each 3 times a day)from this company for over 5 years now. They also make just b12. You can order them from amazon or Luckyvitamin.com. They company also has some various other formulas. http://www.liquidhealthinc.com/product/energy-stress/ http://www.liquidhealthinc.com/product/neurologic/ http://www.liquidhealthinc.com/product...
  22. Spicely Organics is my number one source all salt free also, I use The Spice House for some oddities like tomato powder, and chorizo seasoning. And for blends/all purpose types I use Big AXE Spices which are also salt free. https://www.spicely.com/ http://bigaxespice.com/index.html
  23. Welcome, you probably need to check out the newbie 101 section, there is a bit of a change, and clean out phase but pretty easy. It might seem a bit overwhelming at first but quickly becomes second nature to check labels, and stick to certain products. Few other limitations but you learn and adapt and just have to do some things differently. We do suggest...
  24. Getting over a almost 5 week flare of my UC, scared me at first as I thought it was gluten, but the blood stool, pain only on the outside edges of my abdomen, and only diarrhea tell me it is not gluten since I lack the neurological side effects, vomiting, and core gut pain. Still not 100% sure on the source, I think it might have been some of the spices...
  25. Yeah ditto, only ever seen gluten in these crazy craft soda in a specialty store and one case on a special edition Pepsi that used barley malt for a flavoring. On a side note I like to make my beverage, with tea blends and water flavor enhancers. I can not drink a bubbly soda anymore just messes with me, >. > Though I do some times get a zevia stevia...
