    I agree with a number of things which have been said already, like that it's OK to feel angry or sad or whatever. That's just a part of what happens when we enter a paradigm shift. We need to think differently on several levels, and there IS a withdrawal period as the body rids itself of the toxin we call gluten. But I, like many on this board, will tell...

    OK, and I just now noticed it in your signature (I need to remember to check such things before posting LOL). Still, I'd say it's probably a good idea to try a supplement or two. I began to feel the difference the first 24 hours. But I can see how it may be blood sugar related if it only happens at night. For me it did seem to get worse for certain times...

    Thanks for posting this! I've been wanting to try coconut flour, but as I'm sure you know, it's pricey. Since I never liked soft biscuits (and now since dairy is a no-no), I'd leave that out if I ever get to try this. Can you describe the texture? I'm looking to get a more crunchy biscuit, but so far they turn out too soft and fluffy for my preference. ...

    Many times things like muscle weakness can be caused by a nutrient deficiency. For me it was B12 and magnesium. Have you ruled that out? Also, since dairy, eggs, soy, and other foods can become a problem after gluten-free, if you haven't already tried avoiding them for awhile, it might be a good idea.

    I had virtually no energy and couldn't stay awake until I started taking methylcobalamin (B12) and magnesium. My sleep cycles improved quite a lot too. And I agree that things like alcohol, sugar, processed foods, etc can drag you down.

    Well, I don't know what the other ingredients are for the coconut, but if you can list them, maybe someone will have some insight. Here's a link to the FAQ for Bumble Bee Tuna: Open Original Shared Link For the sunflower seeds, I only see cottonseed oil listed for the kernels, not the seeds: Open Original Shared Link HTH

    Well, I agree with the B12 part, but it does seem that many on this board who eat meat still find B12 supplementation essential. As for zinc, there are plenty of good vegetable sources for it, such as spinach, summer squash, asparagus, swiss chard, collard greens, broccoli, green peas, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, and mustard seeds, just to name a few. Decent...

    When you think about it, making your own sorbet is fairly easy, so that's what I'd do. Probably cheaper too.
  9. RiceGuy
    This is probably just one of the reasons why many of us look for statements like "produced in a gluten-free facility".

    Well, there are mills that can do it, but they are expensive. Not to be discouraging, but I had looked into grinding my own flours, and unless I buy huge quantities of beans or grains, it turned out to be cheaper to buy the flour. Here is a link to how to grind beans, and some grinders which can be used: Open Original Shared Link I buy bean flours...

    I did find animal products made me sick, so I don't eat them. Many feel sick without animal products. But I do wonder if it is as gfp said - they don't know how to go about it. For instance, most Americans do not eat much if any whole grains, beans, nuts, seeds, and so forth, which are more dense sources of proteins and fats than green veggies. A low fat...

    I did find I had to stop eating dairy, as have many others. Apparently, as the villi of the small intestine are damaged, one of the first things to go is the ability to digest lactose. This ability (thus being able to eat foods with lactose) can return once enough healing has taken place, though I've read it doesn't always happen. Casein however, is the primary...

    Wow. Thanks for posting that. I now cease to even mention Sami's products.

    Since I don't buy mainstream products, I can't suggest any of those, but I have found ways to get some meat-like taste & texture qualities out of certain things. For a poultry-like thing, I would take a package of extra firm tofu, drain it, slice it four ways, and put it in the freezer for at least 4-5 days. This makes the texture surprisingly like poultry...

    Yeah, I do understand how it feels to be exhausted constantly. It does get better, and for me it was magnesium which has helped most. That and just giving the body the time it needs to recover. I would try to sleep a lot, though my body was so messed up I found it nearly impossible to remain asleep long enough to do much good. Thankfully over time it has...

    Sounds interesting. I looked up the ingredients: Gluten Free Gluten Replacer Superfine rice flour, pea extract, maize starch, potato starch, vegetable derived gums and cellulose: guar gum, methylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, monoglycerides from vegetable

    I don't know about those specifically, but I recently heard vaccines have mercury, formaldehyde, and other nasty things. It might vary from year to year or brand to brand. I'd think Google might turn up something, or maybe the doctor knows? It wouldn't surprise me if they don't though.
  18. RiceGuy
    Recovery times vary quite a lot from one person to the next. Diet does play a role, so as long as the diet is a healthy one, and he's not eating sugary things or other junk, I'd hope you'd start seeing improvement in maybe a week or two. Perhaps someone who's been through it will chime in.
  19. RiceGuy
    I haven't seen anything about it being unsafe in any way, but I'm sure if the question is posted in a separate thread, there would be at least some responses. Maybe there's already a thread on it. I haven't looked.

    The company just sent me a file with nutrient info and ingredients of all their products. Every one of them has the same main ingredients: tapioca starch, milk, eggs, mozzarella cheese, canola oil and salt. As for a gluten-free bread with lower fat content, I never add fat to my breads (unless you count what I spread on them). Thankfully, fat hasn't been...

    Whenever I think of exercise, I think of people moving around for no other reason than to burn calories, all the while waisting time they could use to burn calories while dong something fun or important. Playing a sport of some kind, even if it doesn't involve much moving, can be far more effective just because it is more engaging, not to mention you're likely...

    Well, some are lower than others, but you'll likely do better to make your own. I actually don't use all those starchy flours in my breads, because I like a more hearty bread, not "white bread". So it also depends on what you like. Though I haven't compared calories of different gluten-free breads on the market, one which I would think is lower is Open Original...

    Well, to start with, the immune system creates antibodies in an attempt to destroy the invader (gluten), but unfortunately for us it destroys the lining of the small intestine instead. There are the enumerable complications which result from this, besides things like pain, digestive issues, nutrient deficiencies, and a general inability to function as a human...

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

    From all the discussions on this board about fibromyalgia, it sounds like I would've been diagnosed with it if I trusted in doctors enough to go to one. I couldn't even walk for over a year. Heck I could barely move. Now I have none of those pains. Nothing. I took two supplements - methylcobalamin (B12) and magnesium. First was the B12, which helped, but...

    Pardon my saying so, but it seems to me your doctor is an idiot. Get a new one, or better yet, get BOTH your children on the gluten-free diet right away, and waste no time with tests that are simply not accurate in young children anyway.
