    Last I was eating tuna from a can, I always got the kind with just water. I have heard of a hair test for nutrient deficiencies. That makes a certain amount of sense to me, since hair is effected by deficiencies (brittle, split ends, etc). That's not to say that all companies offering such a test would be legit however.

    Pardon me, as I was not aware that simply asking for clarification of your statements would be considered "trolling" you. However, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and since it appeared that you possessed a certain level of knowledge on this topic, I'd hoped that you'd at least follow up rather than abruptly exiting. Especially if the...

    I'd like to see some of those "case studies in the biomedical literature". Wait. Are you now differentiating between gluten intolerance and Celiac, saying that someone without Celiac who recovers from gluten intolerance wouldn't be seen as novel enough to publish, and does that mean you're suggesting that if someone who was diagnosed with Celiac Disease...

    If you like coconut as a comfort food, you can indulge in it, and it will help fight candida at the same time. For instance, coconut macaroons sweetened with Stevia, or use coconut in a pie, again sweetened with Stevia. If sweet potatoes work well for you, then you can use them in all sorts of delicious ways. Sweet potato fries, chips, pudding, and sweet...

    My reading on the subject is by no means limited to this board. If you can post some links to valid sources of information showing that gluten intolerance can positively and completely resolve itself, please do. It sounds as if you're saying that when gluten intolerance does resolve, nobody who knows of it thinks it's worth publishing, and therefore...

    Not sure about tests, but what you need may be indicated by what type of food substances get your digestion messed up. For instance, if different types of carbs bother you, then you may need enzymes for carbs (there are different kinds of enzymes for carbs, too). If proteins mess up your digestion, then that may indicate a lack of protein enzymes. Basically...

    There are many different types of digestive enzymes, not just the two you mentioned. And the product you should choose depends on your needs. But whatever the formula, the enzymes should be derived from microbial sources, as those are the only ones AFAIK which can withstand the acidity of the stomach, and thus still be viable once they get to your intestines...

    Well, gluten intolerance does not go away, but if your sensitivity is not due to an immune response, I suppose there is a possibility that you might recover with time. However, I remain very skeptical of this, as I've never heard of it happening. In fact, many members of this board have stated that their gluten intolerance began with a stressful period or...

    The same company who sells the finest centrifuged coconut oil I've ever found also sells one or two products which can be used to make "instant" coconut milk. Their website is Open Original Shared Link. Then you could just mix up what you need, as needed.

    The answer to your question depends on what type of weight you need to gain. Do you need additional muscle, fat, bone, or all three? Also, you might get more targeted responses if you can outline your current diet. There may be nutritional gaps which need to be filled. Protein can be satisfying and filling. Plant proteins are generally easier to digest...

    The following thread contains a discussion which, although valid, doesn't fit the topic. The conversation has morphed, and the purpose of the thread is getting lost. Shouldn't this thread be split into two different threads?
  12. RiceGuy
    Perhaps a moderator can split off these posts which have strayed somewhat off-topic, to a new thread? I do have to respond to this, because I DO REACT to certified gluten-free products which have been tested to contain less than 20ppm of gluten. Products from different companies, with a big gluten-free claim on the front, and company statements about...

    There's at least one article on Celiac.com about how the intestines of most people with Celiac Disease do not fully recover, even after five years of strict adherence to a gluten-free diet. And, that these same individuals ordinarily do not experience any symptoms. Being symptom-free doesn't mean a full recovery has been achieved. I think this is the...

    There are a few posts in this thread (and perhaps countless ones on the board) stating that fat can have a laxative effect. Perhaps it does to those who get D from gluten. My typical reaction to gluten never included D, and no amount of fat I've consumed in one meal has ever done that to me whatsoever. However, like many of the members here, when a food...

    Not sure about every coconut milk product, but all the ones I know of do contain sugar in one form or another. But raw coconut milk straight from a coconut doesn't generally contain high levels of sugar. Coconut water, on the other hand, does contain a notable amount of sugar, as it is from young coconuts, not mature coconuts. You can always make your...

    I think the answer to this question would be different than to your first. I mean, Rice Dream is known to contain gluten, as barley is used at some point during its production. IMO, the company skirts current laws, and perhaps is taking advantage of the current lack of definition of gluten-free products in general. The allergens which must be listed on a...

    Although I cannot provide any insight into that hair sample testing, I will point out that there is a peculiar aspect of Celiac (not sure if it applies to gluten intolerance, but wouldn't be surprised) called "the honeymoon phase". Though not all experience it, many do. It often occurs during the teen years, but can start earlier or later. During this time...

    If Takala has a different source than I do, I'd like to know as well. The only source I know of is barryfarm.com, and they do ship internationally.

    Sorry to hear that, as Arrowhead Mills is often contaminated. I found that out the hard way, and it took a really long time to track it down.
  20. RiceGuy
    Sounds like a good time for an elimination diet. Other intolerances often do manifest after going gluten-free.

    I know from experience that nutrient deficiencies can cause what you're describing, and many other problems with fingernails, and the surrounding area. Some nutrients to consider include vitamin C, B vitamins, vitamin K, vitamin D, biotin, zinc, magnesium, vitamin A, and vitamin E. Fatty acids including Omega-3s may also help. Sometimes too much citric acid...

    I'm sure I saw some frozen onion rings that where gluten-free, though I'm also sure the CC possibilities are still there. Can't recall the brand name however. What about homemade onion rings? Can't be too difficult to make.

    According to Wikipedia, Fufu flour doesn't appear to be sweet potato flour. Or it may have other ingredients added. Sweet potato flour may also be called "Harina de Camote". Coconut flour doesn't function like most other flours. And yes, it is usually paired with a considerable amount of eggs. I've been working on a number of recipes which you may be...

    You might find it for a decent price by the case on Amazon, especially if there's a free shipping option. But you obviously have to be sure you can use it.

    One of my most noticeable symptoms of gluten intolerance was extreme thirst. Although there were symptoms from dairy, I didn't notice thirst from that. What I'd do in your case is to simply try eliminating dairy, and any other suspects you may have, and see how you feel. Then reintroduce one at a time, and see what happens.
