    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...

    I've been to so many functions where they order all pepperoni except for maybe one of a different type. My observation is that only half the people out there even like pepperoni. The non-pepperoni goes first, and then people are complaining there's only pepperoni - no plain, no sausage, no veggie. Even the pepperoni orderers hit the other flavor first. But...

    My sister came down with Crohn's after an appendectomy. During the surgery they noticed that the section of her intestines immediately adjacent to the appendix was inflamed. After she was sick and barelyable to eat anything for a year, they operated and removed that part. Now she's fine, but can't get insurance.

    Read the label. Maybe theirs does. Powdered "wasabi" in the little green can: horseradish, mustard, FD&C blue no.1, FD&C yellow no. 5. Notice that one thing it doesn't have in it is wasabi, a pricey root grown in irrigated marshlands in Japan or special greenhouses in Oregon.

    I am sorry if you feel that my suggestion to leave safe brownies and cookies around for the whole family to snack on was "judgmental". I know from my own experience that they taste no different from the wheat kind.

    I've never found that 5 seconds was enough. You have to soak them until they are soft and flexible.

    The problem is that your hands are dry from lacking skin oils, and these water-based formulas either soak in or evaporate. What little residue rinses right off. I mix up equal parts of cocoa butter, coconut oil, and jojoba and heat until warm and mixed. Just a drop or two at first until you get the hang of it, but it can be used on any dry skin. After...

    The solution is pretty simple. You need to stop leaving regular snacks around the house. Make cookies and brownies substituting gluten-free flours for the wheat flour. Most of them come out exactly the same. The flour only costs a bit more, and it still is lots cheaper than buying them.

    At least around here, the animal would be placed in quarantine for a period of time. If there is any reason to suspect rabies, the only way to be sure is to destroy the animal to do a test on its brain. If the animal was unavailable, it would be necessary for you to have the rabies shots, since there is no way to prove it was healthy. Years back, there...

    So it won't get hard lumps in it.
