    I just tried changing my resolution to 1024x768 to see how the board would be rendered. Yep, same issue. So I figure the board is probably scaling itself larger than the resolution being used (sites have the ability to check the user's resolution). I hope it is a simple setting and not a mistake in the board's coding, otherwise we'll have to wait for the...

    What I did was to eliminate all sugars, yeasts, vinegars, and fruits. I also started taking caprylic acid capsules. I felt amazing in a matter of weeks, and the only thing I have added back in since then is fruits. Though many suggest avoiding carbs, I didn't do that, and in fact have always enjoyed large amounts of carbs. Since carbs are more complex than...

    I'm not sure that inflammation alone indicates Celiac, but damaged villi does, and AFAIK that is what doctors usually want to see before they give a positive diagnosis. Now about the heartburn. That is a common problem for Celiac sufferers. However, there may be something you can do to resolve/cure it. Have you ever tried apple cider vinegar? I'm referring...

    Well, gluten can and does cause some people discomfort for 5 days and longer. However, that doesn't mean there can't be other intolerances, such as dairy, nightshades, soy, etc, not to mention problems with candida. I would expect the pain to subside soon, but there are some things which are known to help, such as marshmallow root, aloe vera juice, and other...

    I noticed the same, but I knew what it was since I had stepped up my consumption of carrots. It does seem to be lessened now too, thankfully. I believe the reason is that as the gut heals, the leaky gut issue is being resolved, thus less undigested beta-carotene enters the bloodstream. As an aside, some people have reddish urine after eating beets, which...

    If you have an Asian market, they should have taro. Other than that, I've read others suggest mashing up cauliflower, but I doubt it would taste good, and have not tried it.

    This is one of the reasons why I stared off with guar gum. That is, the price. I also find it is better for muffins, cakes, sweetbreads, etc, whereas xanthan is better for breads, pizza crust, and so forth. Last I looked, the cheapest for either was www.barryfarm.com, but the site you linked to has it for a relatively good price. I don't know if I'd...

    ARCHIVED Fiber

    RiceGuy replied to donnal's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Well, I can't be sure on the CC issues, but as for preaching high fiber, there are plenty of gluten-free flours, grains, and other foods which have just as much if not more fiber than whole wheat. Also keep in mind that the average American has such deplorable eating habits, that sometimes it nearly takes a sledge hammer to get through to people about such...

    Thanks for pointing that out, I hadn't considered that possibility.

    I noticed this issue as well. The user settings do not offer a way to customize it. Minimum resolution has been 800x600, but more and more, web designers seem to think everybody has a huge monitor with 1024x768 or higher. I think I saw the setting in one of the Javascripts, so I'm sure Scott could change it, and wouldn't be surprised if that's why it was...

    As was stated, the flour is being used for thickening, so the suggestion of cornstarch is a good one. A number of gluten-free flours would work, though cornstarch or other starchy one would typically be cheaper than a blend.

    I read someplace that about 50% of Celiacs can't have canola. I know I can't. Anyway, I find rice bran oil is great for all sorts of cooking and frying, and it has about the highest smoke point I've seen in a fairly healthy oil (about 490
  13. RiceGuy
    Do you have time to cook? If so, that opens up a lot of possibilities. All sorts of casseroles, gluten-free lasagna, stews, etc. I'm sure it would be cheaper too.

    Nobody has ever found an exact replacement for tomatoes, but there are some products which try to approximate it by combining beets, carrots, and a few other things. I'm sure they also include a bunch of ascorbic acid or some such, to get closer to the taste. Look for a product called "nomato" or something like that. There's likely more than one brand out...

    I often eat millet, and it does have quite a resemblance to couscous. I agree that amaranth looks similar, though smaller, and I think it has a texture similar to hominy grits or cream of rice. I think sorghum would be somewhat like couscous too, though I haven't purchased the whole grain yet.

    I also had severe pains of this type, and lots more. Thankfully all have cleared completely since I started taking magnesium and a sublingual methylcobalamin (B12). So that's what I recommend even if a doctor says it's something else. Many have found that even when blood tests indicate no substantial lack in these nutrients, the supplements help anyway. ...

    I'm just one of many who has found magnesium and a sublingual methylcobalamin (B12) supplement to be incredibly effective for muscle/joint/bone pain, nerve pain, tingling and/or aching hands and feet, and numerous other symptoms. It should be no surprise since most Celiacs (and most Americans in general) are deficient in these nutrients. Also vitamin D, calcium...

    I like making popcorn on the stove, so the corn is just corn, and no chemicals or other junk. As I understand it, the bags used for microwave popcorn have some sort of chemical coating the inside, and it is known to be unhealthy (I don't recall what the health effects are). I'd suggest you Google "popcorn lung" before you decide to eat microwave popcorn....

    I wouldn't trust anything with any extracts of wheat in it. You can just buy guar gum, and use it in smoothies and such. Makes a decent pudding too. However, guar gum is soluble fiber, which has a different effect than insoluble fiber. Which to choose depends on what you want from it. If you simple want more fiber in your diet, without a pronounced change...

    Are you saying that cold foods are less of a problem? It sounds to me like the nerves in your esophagus are over-sensitive, or the lining of the esophagus is thin. I had that in my nose, and I notices dairy tended to make it worse (nosebleeds). I got much improvement once I started taking a sublingual methylcobalamin (vitamin B12). Research suggests this...

    Yes. There are numerous products out there, in various forms including capsules, tablets, and powders. Magnesium citrate is one of the most effectively absorbed, but which you choose depends on what you need from it most. Powdered ones are generally suggested as treatments for C, and they are very effective. I would expect that capsules would be more slowly...

    I've never heard of that, but what happens if you drink something first? Is it the same for hot or cold foods, sweet or spicy? Any difference for items which are fatty, liquid, dry, anything? How long does it take to return once you've finished eating?

    Some time after going gluten-free, I started feeling ravenously hungry. This lasted for months, and was to the point I'd eat 'till I looked pregnant, and still I felt famished. I could make a 96oz casserole disappear in under 15 minutes. No bowl - I just ate right out of the pot. As others have said, your body knows it needs nutrients. As long as you're...

    Well, you've already gotten great advice, so all I'd add is that you really need to get fruits and veggies into her diet. I can hardly imagine a child not liking some sort of fresh fruit, like banana, apple, pear, peach, grapes, berries, melons, etc. For veggies she won't recognize, try sweet potato pudding or sweet potato pie. Same for pumpkin or other winter...

    Well, I don't know your sensitivities, but what would get me most is the dairy, vinegar, and sugar. I had severe back pain until I started taking magnesium, so I wonder if that might help you too.
