    I quit wheat two years ago and felt so much better. I was not having any digestive symptoms at all when I asked for the Celiac test (positive - came out 35). Ironically, I don't feel as good now digestively as I did before; I'm either adjusting or whatever. Point being, I had no symptoms from eating spelt. I just got concerned that if stopping wheat...

    If you're talking tuna, I've seen some cans with "broth", which could easily contain gluten. As to farmed fish, I would not touch this with a ten foot pole. It is nasty in so many ways, antibiotics, hormones, AND higher heavy metal/pesticide toxicity. I only eat fresh.

    I had a very bad tummy several days ago. I thought I might've been glutened, but it could've been that the gluten-free pancakes I had eaten (Cravings Place) were so sticking to the pan, that I had to use copious amounts of coconut oil. I think I greased myself out. Not to mention I hardly ever eat pancakes (never, now) and also had strawberries, a bit...

    Besides "beans and greens", as my nutritionist puts it, you might try "Pure Encapsulations" B12 Folic, which has a wee bit of Vitamin C, folic acid, and B12 as methylcobalamin, which is easier to absorb than cyanocobalamin (and which doesn't have a cyanide molecue your liver will have to dispose of). It has LOTS of B12. I also have taken "ActiFolate" by...

    Yes on the blue cheese - they make it get blue with moldy bread - okay, I'm not sure that's exactly it, but they use bread in the process of making it. I don't know on the other stuff, but you certainly don't need gluten in diet coke to make it troublesome for you - what about the Aspartame - that stuff is devlish, albiet not gluten. I'm sure someone...

    ARCHIVED Bmi?

    I wonder how old you are. I once had bronchitis for like six months and got down to 100 pounds (at 5'8-1/2). Man I could not gain that weight back. I drank protein drinks, ate like crazy, etc. I looked awful. But then something remarkable happened - I turned 22. Then I didn't seem to have any problems...thighs, butt, oh yeah, they were absorbing fat...

    I wish I could suggest someone - I'm in your area - I live in Bellingham. Good luck to you. I'll be sure to see if anyone has good suggestions and write them down in case I decide I need to see a gastroen.... I've just gotten the diagnoses from my OB/GYN (I asked for the test) and then learned the ropes myself. I've seen some improvement, so I'm just...

    I already answered, but thought of another one. The little bumps on the backs of my arms have gone away, and on my outer thighs too. Yahoo.

    Does Celiac affect our teeth and gums? My sister (undiagnosed and in extreme denial) just went to the dentist and has gum disease, 9 cavities, etc. tc. I told her I thought Celiac contributed to that and she might get less tartar and the like if she quit gluten. I'm trying to convince her to get tested....was I totally lying? Or did I read this someplace...

    Another thing the BMI doees not take into account, though this matters more to those with high BMI, is WHERE you store your fat. That's why the waist to hip ratio is often considered better, or at least required to make good sense out of BMI. Being underweight makes you more susceptible to osteoperosis, so adding weight-bearing exercise like liftiin weights...

    Hi. I've decided to cut out all grains and legumes for a while, to see if I feel better. I already don't eat dairy, land animals, or soy. But...if I'm going to do this diet, I thought I would add lunch meat like organic turkey/chicken. But today at the Food Co-op I couldn't help but notice all the lunchmeat had "spices" in it. Anyone know anything...

    My "bad" cholesterol has always been fine; but my "good" cholesterol is chronically low. I have not checked it again since going gluten free, however.

    Using a Nettie Pot might be easier that this way. It's a little pot you fill with salt water and you hold your head to the side, pouring the water up one nostril while opening and breathing through your mouth (preventing the water going into the lungs). It comes out the other side. There is also another contraption that is like a syringe. You fill it...

    I decided to get tested because when I quit wheat, I felt so much better. Less constipation (a lot of folks, though, have diarrhea), less gas and bloating, way less anxiety and panic attacks. When I quit gluten (also found in barley, rye, and through contaminated oats [they usually grow wheat every other year with oats and its hard to keep them separate...

    I find it interesting that the study looked at "cereal fiber" and not fiber in general. Also, the whole idea that a study like this really says anything at all is ridiculous. What about all the other facets of life for these participants. My word, you can't factor in that stuff. Medical study/science cracks me up -- that's why we get such see-saw: coffee...

    I know, I know. I'm just frustrated because before I asked for the celiac test, I felt pretty good, save for the itching and canker sores. I had defeated the terrible C that had plagued me my entire life (by quitting wheat), and most of the bloating, and felt great. Now that I've quit spelt and oatmeal and all the little things that sneak in the gluten...

    I wrote to Gadren of Eatin (a subsidiary of Hain) and they said the chips are made in a facility that handles gluten, so I figured they were out (along with Bearito's Refried Beans - my favorite - also made by Hain). I'll check out Lundberg though. I tried Mission last night, but I prefer the more natural brands, hopefully organic. (I am reading a really...

    I am not necessarily alleric to soy, I just don't think it's good for you. I used to eat Nayonaise, but quit when I quit soy. Frankly, I'm contemplating quitting tuna (too much mercury) and quitting bread (why bother)...so I wouldn't even need mayo anyway. I'm contemplating the paleolithic diet. Anyone been doing this?
  19. BRUMI1968
    I heard that the human waste that gets collected here and there is chock full of vitamins that have never been digested at all - whole. Yuck. The cleansning diet sounds interesting. I'm not ready to try dairy again myself; if I have the smallest amount I get C. But I am struggling with why I'm still bloated and have C problems, even though I'm gluten...

    Okay, so I started making my own trail mix to use as snackies between meals, and I was including raw pumpkin seeds. Last night I read the bag and noticed it says made in facility that handles gluten (among other things). I hadn't even thought to look since it didn't seem conceivable that pumpkin seeds would be glutened. Ah well....I didn't get sick or...

    Is rice not on your diet because all grains are out? You've said "healing diet" a couple times, but I'm not sure what that means. I like to do little things to increase my fiber intake: figs - my goodness figs have a lot of fiber, and if you don't have sugar issues, a dried fig is phenomenal for fiber intake. I also eat prunes. Plus, I love veggies...

    Thanks to everyone for your thoughts.

    Hi. I just realized I'm not supposed to be eating eggs for the time being, and I've been downing mayo. Duh. Anyway, what do folks who don't eat may put on their sanwiches for moisture/grease. Any ideas? (humus sounds good, avocado smushed up sound good...what else????) p.s. I know there are eggless mayo's, but I also don't eat soy or partially...

    Hi. I'm looking for some nice non-flavored tortilla chips. I like the healthier kind, organic, that kind of thing. But so far haven't found any that are gluten free. I miss my "mexican salad" which is salad plus black beans plus crushed tortilla chips plus avocado plus salsa vinegrette. Anyone know of any good healthy brands that are gluten-free?

    Found this site. Not about gluten, but is about Lipitor. Not sure of the source, but interesting stuff and lots of links. Open Original Shared Link -Sherri
