    Are you saying that plain nuts also cause you to get bloated, or just the butters? Have you tried plain nuts that you shell yourself? I suppose it might be that your digestive system isn't up to the task of digesting nuts. Perhaps it's the protein content, or maybe an intestinal yeast overgrowth (which I've read can worsen from eating nuts). For awhile...

    What about coconut milk powder? I suppose coconut flour might work, but here's a link to one Open Original Shared Link I know of.

    Coconut oil can be used in place of butter, margarine, shortening, and in place of most oils in cooking and baking. It is solid at room temp (up to 76

    While I've never heard of gluten in baking soda, I did find that using baking soda whenever there was any bean flour in the recipe, caused some sort of chemical reaction. The dough would almost immediately begin to give off a foul smell, like the bean flour had instantly gone terribly rancid. And the taste...forget about it! I believe it behaved essentially...

    I hope you aren't referring to Arrowhead Mills. I just found out recently, that they have problems with CC. I kept getting glutened, but didn't know from where. Finally I narrowed it down to their flours. Anyway, for bulk flours, there's Open Original Shared Link, where you can get sorghum flour. It's very versatile, and not grainy like rice flour. There...

    ARCHIVED Snacks

    RiceGuy replied to itri's topic in Sports and Fitness

    I make all my foods from scratch, including snacks. If you have the time, that's what I'd recommend. If by "energy" foods, you mean protein, I'd suggest grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds. For muffins, buckwheat and teff flours work very well, and are high in protein. They're great for cookies too. Though bean flours are even more protein-rich, I don't know...

    There is often a period of withdrawal when first going gluten-free. Perhaps that's what you feel? Hang in there. I'm sure you'll soon know if gluten has been bothering you.

    My sleep patterns where all messed up until I started taking B12. I use the sublingual methylcobalamin type. Things slowly got better month after month. I have much more energy too, but the main thing is that the supplements (not just B12) have resolved the severe nerve/muscle pains, twitching, numbness, etc. B12 is vital for many things, including serotonin...

    Well, I'm no medical expert, but it seems to me that such an elevated IgG should be indicative of gluten intolerance at the very least. Again, I don't have any medical training, but your test results are sooo far above the norm, surely it means something. Then there's the intestinal damage, B12 deficiency, etc. These are all indicators too. Have you...

    Just adding my voice to the others - I think there is a distinct possibility that you have Celiac. I'm sure you know this, but no matter what the test results say, don't be discouraged. Try going gluten-free, and see how you feel!

    Many on this board, including myself, have found nightshades can be problematic. From what I've read, I believe it is because the leaky gut allows a higher percentage of the toxic alkaloids into the bloodstream. So I'll suggest avoiding those and seeing how it goes. This includes tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, and eggplant. Also, red pepper, chili pepper, paprika...

    I'd also agree about the possibility of the soy bothering you. Have you tried rice or almond milk? About the B12 - is it sublingual (dissolves under the tongue)? This may be important, as Celiac seems to hamper the digestion of B12. A sublingual goes directly into the bloodstream. Also, antacids can interfere with the stomach's production of Intrinsic...

    Wild rice isn't related to regular rice, so it might work for you. I believe I read someplace that it's not actually rice at all. Aside from that, there's Kasha (roasted buckwheat), which I really like. It can be eaten as a hot or cold cereal, or used in place of rice or other grains. There's also amaranth, millet, sorghum, and teff. I haven't tried quinoa...

    I will also suggest caprylic acid capsules, as that is what worked for me. Funny thing is, I didn't tapper down carbs one bit. And at the time I had no idea about gluten, so was still eating that too. I was really eating far too much carbs - I'd typically have about a pound of pasta and half a loaf of bread each day. Somehow though, the caprylic acid still...

    Well, the thing which I've heard most often causes nail problems is nutrient deficiencies. B vitamins stand out in my mind, especially B12. Some minerals too, like zinc and magnesium. Here are some links: Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link

    Some things which I know can lead to gumminess, are too much xanthan, and/or too much liquid. Some people seem to like things this way, so it may not be an error in your measurements, but just what the author of the recipe intended. I find sweet white rice flour and tapioca flour can lend gumminess, though in their own particular way. Perhaps try replacing...

    I will echo what others have stated. I don't believe any food is worth days of misery afterward. Besides, as Tallforagirl said, there are so many yummy gluten-free foods you could enjoy, and then NOT get sick, there doesn't seem to be much reason to torture yourself. However, I suppose for some, there is a lingering desire for gluten. For some it's even...

    Perhaps it would help to describe the sort of crust you like. In other words; thin, crispy, thick, soft, etc.

    Well, mushroom basically said what I was thinking - that there may be some yeast or other infection of some kind. It sounds like you've had a lot of antibiotics, and that often leads to yeast overgrowth. I don't know if it can cause the severity of symptoms you've outlined, but it's the only thing in my experience which comes close to explaining it. The best...

    I'm sure there are some brands which are more prone to CC than others, though I've not read anything suggesting to avoid any particular brands. Then there are individuals who can't tolerate the corn starch, so they get one of the others, made with potato starch or something. Here's my experience with baking powder: https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/index...

    Yeah, that's the first thing I thought of. But I wonder how long it will be before that guy feels like eating a waffle. Oh, the trauma! Can you image the nightmares? In his dreams, there are no firefighters. Only little blue people, similar to the oompas in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, but with plump round bodies, resembling blueberries. The fire...

    Unfortunate as it is, this is just too funny. It's almost poetic justice, but not really. Open Original Shared Link

    Welcome to the board! I'm sure you'll get plenty of helpful advice. Well, your symptoms could be from gluten, either an intolerance or Celiac. At this point, it seems logical to avoid gluten at least until you feel better. You may also find it helpful to avoid dairy, since the intestinal damage so often makes it problematic. Stick with plain veggies, some...

    Even with all the idiotic things the medical industry comes up with, I was still surprised by that too. That they'd actually attempt to "desensitize" the body. I mean, how could they think that injecting gluten into a gluten intolerant person could work, when so many such individuals have suffered for decades from gluten ingestion? It just doesn't make sense...
  25. RiceGuy
    Welcome to the board! I'm sure you'll get plenty of helpful advice here. The symptoms you've mentioned have been linked to Celiac Disease, so it is entirely possible that you are gluten intolerant or have Celiac Disease. Do keep in mind however, that if you intend to see a doctor for any testing, you shouldn't maintain the gluten-free diet for more than...
