    Something else to be aware of, is that you'll need to replace your toaster, scratched pans, wooden cutting boards, wooden spoons, etc. Clean the heck out of your oven (and microwave), fridge, counters, sink, cabinets, and so forth. You sorta have to decontaminate your kitchen of all traces of gluten. Check the dish soap for gluten-containing ingredients,...

    You can likely leave out the sugar. Some yeast bread recipes use a pinch of sugar to get the yeast started, but even that isn't totally necessary.

    Well, there really isn't a one-size-fits-all gluten-free bread recipe. Different people like different ones, just as with wheat breads. However, there are a few popular bread mixes which you could start with, such as Open Original Shared Link. Many on this board seem to like that one. As for bread machines, a popular one is called Zojirushi. It seems to...

    I think part of the trouble with this is that many doctors still don't believe in candida overgrowth at all. AFAIK, the medical industry as a whole has yet to really accept the reality of it. That's my take on it. Perhaps someone else will know more. Here is some info on the subject, along with certain tests which you may be able to have done: Open Original...

    Sure-Jell sounds a lot like a low-methoxyl citrus pectin I've used, called Open Original Shared Link. I still have some too. Maybe I should try it in bread and see what it does.

    I don't know, but a search turned up a previous problem with that companies beef: Open Original Shared Link

    The things in my experience which had me exhausted the most, were candida, and more recently, deficiencies in B12 and magnesium. I do know that if I eat something which I cannot digest easily, such as a banana, I will get tired until my gut has finished dealing with it. But that doesn't usually last all day. I hope you get it figured out soon. Keep us...

    Last I knew, soy wasn't "a starch". At least not like white rice, or corn. Also, there are many ways in which soy products are prepared, so there is no one classification that fits them all. Compared to many grains, beans (including soy) are relatively low in carbs. What surprises me is that nuts seem to make candida worse for some people. That suggests...

    Canned olives, beans, and veggies should all be gluten-free, though it is always wise to read the label. Usually, those things are packed in water, accept possibly the olives. As far as I know, neither wheat nor gluten is used in the processing of canned olives, but again, check the labels. There are sometimes ingredients which you may be allergic to, or...

    Here's a list of safe and unsafe foods and ingredients: https://www.celiac.com/categories/Safe-Glut...3B-Ingredients/

    Both corn and soy are top allergens, and many find the need to avoid them, especially while they heal. Personally, I do much better when I include grains, though not everyone does. But not every type of gluten-free flour agrees with me. As was stated, let your body tell you whether or not to eat them. There is also the issue of CC (Cross-Contamination...

    Good! So it seems she will make a meal for herself without throwing a fit after all! Now, as long as it isn't restricted to hot dogs, I think things should work out fine. Incidentally, ever use amaranth, Kasha (roasted buckwheat), millet or teff? These can work for all sorts of dishes, from casseroles to hot cereals. They are very nutritious too.

    OK. I tend to agree that it doesn't seem like the dairy would do that, given what it had done previously. Seems I've heard light-headedness can be due to a few different things, including blood-sugar issues, blood pressure issues, electrolyte imbalances, iron or other mineral deficiencies, dehydration, and malnutrition. There are probably more which...

    Hello, and welcome. Just backing up what has already been said. It is right on the mark AFAIK. Fell free to ask any questions. The members here are extremely knowledgeable.

    As was stated, you'd need to be eating gluten in order to have a chance of an accurate biopsy. And, those chances are basically hit-and-miss. You'd need to be consuming gluten for several weeks at least, because the biopsy looks for damage to the small intestine. Therefore, doing so means purposely causing damage in order to prove it will happen. However...

    OK, it seems apparent that our suggestions haven't been in line with your concept of what constitutes good food. Therefore, if you could list the meals you've prepared over the last 5 days, it will give us some insight into it, and thus should help us to more effectively help you.

    The raw garlic is really good. I remember when I was little, and had a cold, my mom tried cough medicines, but none worked. So she went back to the garlic mayonnaise or garlic butter on toast. I liked it, and would ask for it even if I felt fine. The best way I've found to use it, is to toast the bread until it's near burnt, so it's very dry and will irritate...

    Yes, a number of members here have reported various neurological issues clearing up once on a gluten-free diet. Many also find milk and/or other things are often involved. Here is a list of diseases and disorders which have been linked to Celiac Disease: https://www.celiac.com/categories/Celiac-Di...-and-Disorders/ Welcome to the board!

    The one thing that I noticed with the Expandex, is that it comprises a considerable portion of the recipe. I haven't tried it, but it sure seems expensive. I'm also not really sure I like the idea of a modified starch. Sounds sorta artificial. Orgran makes a Open Original Shared Link which I've been wondering about too.

    Both NOW Foods and Source Naturals usually label their products pretty well. Freeda is another.

    I tend to agree that your daughter doesn't necessarily need grains, though I guess we're all different. Some can do without them and feel healthy. I found I needed them. You can get many grains (and flours) at barryfarm.com, though I do not know about the CC. Many of their products are certified gluten-free, but I believe that pertains to the facility...

    I asked about the carbs because many seem to get a better sense of satiety from those. Although with others, protein does the job. On the dairy, I'm still not sure I understand. You've outlined the problems you're having, and then say dairy hasn't been giving you any problems. This seems contradictory. I can only guess that you have previously had a reaction...

    Are you taking 200-400mg of magnesium daily? Can you outline what you eat from day to day? As for what else can fight candida, what worked for me was caprylic acid capsules. It worked quite well, though I know not everyone gets the quick results I did. I've never heard goldenseal suggested for candida. Usually the suggestions include Caprylic Acid,...

    As was mentioned, you may need to also avoid dairy. Other top allergens may also be involved, including soy, corn, nuts, eggs, yeast, nightshades, etc. A common suggestion is to avoid all these things, and see if your symptoms are resolved. Once you are feeling better, add one of those foods back in, and give it a week or two. If you experience no problems...

    Well, unfortunately, 95% gluten-free doesn't quite do it. Neither does 99%. You must maintain a completely gluten-free diet. That's 100% gluten-free, and 100% of the time. Your small intestine is damaged every time you slip up, whether an intentional glutening or not. However, only you can make the resolve to remain gluten-free. It can be as easy or as...
