Lifeway Introduces Real Gluten-Free Kefir

Followers 0
Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

Lifeway introduces real gluten-free kefir! Many celiacs have digestion problems that have been proven to be alleviated with the aid of probiotic cultures. Did you know that Lifeway Kefir gives you 10 strains of live and active probiotic cultures per cup? I tried the strawberry flavor and it tasted like a strawberry milk-shake--thick, creamy and sweet. You can really taste the difference with Lifeway Kefir, it didn't have the chalky after-taste that other kefirs can have. This is a healthy snack that even kids will love! Not only is Lifeway kefir delicious, but it can help those with lactose intolerance's while also providing probiotics, calcium and vitamin D; the perfect supplement combination for celiacs. And if that weren't enough, Lifeway also adds 3 grams of inulin per kefir serving to help boost calcium absorption, and increase fiber intake. Lifeway Kefir is made from the best organic and pure ingredients, is naturally cultured, completely antibiotic free and contains no rBGH. The bottom line: Lifeway Kefir is the perfect food for celiacs and those looking to improve digestion and increase their nutrient intake--especially vitamin D, calcium and fiber.

I love this product (Lifeway Kefir)! Simply delicious and makes the Celiac tummy feel so soothed. I also love the sidebar describing your self-diagnosis and your "no-can-do" attitude. As another "self-diagnose-ee", I'm with you, sister. WE know what hurts enough to know NOT to eat it. Why on earth would we need to ingest poison (gluten) simply so some doctor can tell us, "Yep it's a poison (to you) all right"? No thanks, me no can do either!

About Me

I diagnosed myself for gluten intolerance after a lifetime of bizarre, seemingly unrelated afflictions. If my doctors had their way, I would have already undergone neck surgery, still be on 3 different inhalers for asthma, be vomiting daily and having chronic panic attacks. However, since eliminating gluten from my diet in May 2009, I no longer suffer from any of those things. Even with the proof in the pudding (or gluten) my doctors now want me to ingest gluten to test for celiac-no can do.

Katz Gluten Free takes food sensitivities seriously. That's why allKatz products are certified gluten-free, are made in a dedicatedgluten, dairy and nut-free facility, and are also Kosher Parve certified. Katz has so many wonderful gluten-free products to choose from, it's hard to know where to begin. I started by sampling their award winning large gluten-free Challah Kaiser Rolls, and now I can see why Katz took the 2008 “Best Baked Goods Award” for their excellent gluten-free Challah Kaiser Rolls. Katz Challah Kaiser Rolls are as good as, or better, than any traditional rolls on the market, which makes them the perfect bread for any occasion. Katz gluten-free Challah Kaiser Rolls are so good that they can be eaten plain and don't need to be toasted. The rolls are fluffy, slightly swee...

Riega Yellow Cheddar Cheese Sauce Mix Makes Perfect Gluten-Free Macaroni & Cheese
Last night I made macaroni & cheese for dinner using Riega Yellow Cheddar Cheese Sauce Mix. The sauce came out perfect, and was creamy, cheesy, and flavorful. Our whole family loved it, and what I really liked about it was being able to use my favorite gluten-free macaroni noodles, as I am very picky about my pasta.
This is one of the best gluten-free cheese sauces that I've tried, and it was quick and easy to prepare. This family favorite is always welcome for a quick hot lunch, or a dinner time side dish, and I will keep these on hand from now on.

Konsyl's Gluten-Free Original Psyllium Fiber
Celiac.com 09/08/2011 - Adding fiber to your diet is important for a number of reasons, including dieting, lowering blood cholesterol, or managing or preventing diabetes or heart disease. That being said, I recently came across psyllium fiber from Konsyl that is not only gluten-free, but also happens to be one of the most effective means of adding concentrated extra fiber to your diet.
I also appreciate the fact that Konsyl Original Psyllium Fiber doesn't contain artificial flavors or additives, and is also sugar-free. When I first tried Konsyl I have to say that I was impressed with the purity of the ingredients in comparison to other brands that I've tried in the past.
Just after a light lunch I mixed up one teaspoon of Konsyl fiber with 8 ounces of water and drank it,...

Gluten Free Bartender App
I tried out a new app called “Gluten Free Bartender.” This app is designed to make life easier for people to find gluten-free drinks. The “Drinks” section opens by default, and in it you will find categories: beers, champagne, ciders, liquors, mixers, wine coolers, wines, and miscellaneous.
What I really liked about the app was the ability to view categories by brand, or by recipes that can be made using a particular brand. You can also easily add items and recipes to a “Favorites” list. Another nice feature is the ability to see dated gluten-free information about the product which comes directly from the manufacturer, including contact information.

  And yes, of course it's better to know and we will adjust. It's just, he's 7 and in our house we can control what he gets. But he plays soccer 3 times a week and in the changing room the boys share candies. I can and will tell him not to accept them any more, but "mistakes" will be made. I'm really burdened by the potential social impact...

  Thank you for your reaction. The reference values are both "<10", although I found a medical paper from Netherlands (I'm Belgian) who use the same values and there the see a positive daignosis as twice more then 200 and a positive biopsie. I didn't see how to change this in my original message, sorry...

  Hi Kathleen Welcome to the forum. I am based in the UK so I am just picking this post up before our US based moderators appear. I think they will want to know the lab values of both of the figures you have provided us with (min/max reading) as they tend to vary - could you post those for us, please? We see a lot of coeliacs who also have helicobacter...

  Hi all, I'm very new at this and 'this' has been quite a rollercoaster ride. Last august my 7 year old son suddenly had these colic like pain attacks that would come a few times per day/night during 10 days. Because they were that bad and because our older daughter had her appendix taken out at 7, we ended up at ER twice to have him checked...
