Keep in mind that you might also have a dietary sensitivity to something else. Get into the habit of reading ingredients lists.

I suggest you look at your calorie intake. If you're not eating enough calories, your body will signal you to wake up and forage for more food. You need to be eating more calories than a healthy person of normal weight in order to gain weight. Also, your diet is extremely low in fat unless you are eating chicken thighs with the skin on, which I would recommend...

If gluten were broken down in digestion, we wouldn't be reacting to them. The natural diet of chickens, cattle, and pigs is not corn, wheat, and soy. GMO is also a factor. I suggest you check out the writings of Dr. Steven Grundy. The most sensitive people may react to grain-fed meat. I was unable to eat eggs for years without an inflammatory response...

A person can certainly get enough calories eating animal products, vegetables, and fruit. I think he needs to consider that gluten-free products may be highly processed and inferior in nutrition than eating foods prepared from basic ingredients. Mashed root vegetables with butter instead of bread, for instance.

Some people are so sensitive to grains and soybeans that they react to the proteins that animals fed these pass into meat, dairy products, poultry, and eggs. I can eat some dairy products (pastured yogurt and most cheeses) and pastured eggs, but get serious inflammation from non-pastured products.

I make grain-free flatbreads using a variety of flours like almond flour, cassava flour, tapioca starch, millet flour, bean flour, etc. Pizza dough tastes best using yeast as leavening and extra virgin olive oil. Crushed rosemary/garlic powder/oregano for flavoring optional. The dough will not roll out, but just press it into a greased nonstick pan.

I, too rarely buy specialty gluten-free foods. I eat meat, poultry, vegetables (including lots of potatoes), fruit, nuts, and sometimes rice or beans. I get my vegetables in an Asian store that sells lots of produce cheap. I also get my pasta and rice flour there. Asian rice pasta is very little different from some types of regular pasta and only costs a...

There is a significant part of the population that thinks that celiac/gluten intolerance do not exist, and we're only doing it to make us feel "special". Therefore they feel morally obligated to trick us into eating stuff we falsely (so they think) claim we cannot, to prove we are wrong. This is why I don't feel safe eating in restaurants. Any one worker...

If you're going to make assumptions, the only safe thing to assume is that all cold breakfast cereals contain gluten unless you've heard that one does not. And even then you have to read the label. That's what I did when I heard rice chex was safe. You just have to, have to, have to read the labels. Nobody out there who is not gluten-free can be trusted...

Add a tablespoon of butter and a teaspoon and a quarter of baking powder to that recipe and they'll be super fluffy and tender.

These are not "kids' cereals". After you pour them into the bowl they are just "cereal". Only the boxes have kiddie pictures on them. Pour them into an unlabeled plastic cannister and they'll never know.

What you're looking at is about 20 hours of unpaid work. The rest of the world is going to have to do their own.

When you get down to the three remaining issues, there's a loop - you are asked if you're all better. If you answer no, you may stay in that loop indefinitely, looking for answers. Dr. Fine's studies show that 60% of people who go gluten free find their health improves, even though they may have tested negative on the Enterolab, and also that most people...

It's a little educational flash movie about celiac with a sort of a diagnostic flowchart based on what people may experience in their health explorations. Tell me if you find any broken links in it. Open Original Shared Link

A GI who routinely tests all of his patients for celiac? Now I am in shock. Your daughter only looks healthy. The fact that she has no other apparent symptoms does not mean she's normal and healthy except for constipation. You need to take her off gluten and keep her completely free of it in order to prevent many possible complications. Many treats...
