Do You Shop In Asian/oriental Stores?

Is the food there generally considered okay, as long as there are no gluten ingredients? Or is CC much of an issue? Are the items there pretty much from the same suppliers as the ethnic items that you find in your supermarket?

 

What things do you get there, if any?

I have been planning to go for fruits and vegetables, but their just are not very many of those in my area.  Minneapolis, St.  Paul, and St. Cloud, MN have some, but I always run, run, run doing errands when I am there.  I have heard that Thai products don't have gluten.

 

My family developed a taste for dried seaweed.  Two daughters came back from South Korea marveling over this product.  I figured it was vegetables they actually liked, so got some for the family.  They liked it too.

I've found plenty of rice flour at these stores. Lots of different brands. Cheap.

 

best regards, larry mac

They're good for packaged rice products and such. I buy big 10lb bags of jasmine rice for $15 or less. Have never once had an issue with contamination. Same with rice noodles, etc. Stay away from bulk, be super careful reading labels on sauces. thai/vietamese things tend to be a bit better. Also, cheap tapioca flour. If buying dried seaweed (laver, or nori) make sure it wasn't seasoned with soy sauce. And cheap veggies/fruit, of course.

about  ten years  ago  I was  new about  a year  into  a celiac dx's.. I bought  rice  flour  from  an Asian  place  because  it was  so  cheap.... When  I went  for  my  routine  blood work  plus  a lot  of  specialty  stuff  they  found  my  lead  levels to be  very high... That  happened  after  using  the  Asian  rice  flour.. Then  I  read  where  high lead  levels  were  found  in  Asian  rice  flour  from  China...

Some of the contaminants in rice scare me. I try to use mostly white basmati rice from India, because that rice has the lowest levels of arsenic. Generally, I don't buy rice flour anyhow, I grind it from whole rice.

What tool do you use do grind your rice and millet?  (That is you who makes the millet bread, right?)

I have thought about getting the grain mill attachment for my kitchenaid mixer, but I know it is made for wheat. not sure if other stuff will gum it up.

Yes, I'm the one who makes the millet bread. :)

 

We have a Vitamix and I grind my flours in the dry grains container. Super fast and easy. I also have a flour sifter, to get any small bits of grit out.

      Increasing symptoms after going gluten free

      By Pasballard · Posted

      I have Celiacs and want you to be aware of the amount of weight you can potentially put on if you rely on gluten free snacks, bread etc.,they  are high in carbs.  I put on 25 lbs in a short amount of time.  Whole Foods are the best way to go but I struggle with this.  The cost of gluten free is also a problem.  I love black licorice but most have gluten.  My favorite chili seasoning as well.  The list is endless.  I take  Advil liquid gels and had no idea until I read this.  I hope you do better than I have done.  I feel I am destined to suffer daily no matter what.  My aunt didn’t take care of herself and died from complications.  I hope you can get on a good routine.

      Thank you, I appreciate the response. I'm going to begin the gluten free diet and wait for the biopsy results. I feel fairly certain that it's the right thing for my well being. I will keep you posted.

      Vaccines

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The flu vaccine is indeed not 100% effective every year, as its effectiveness varies depending on how well the vaccine strains match the circulating flu viruses. However, even in years when the match is less than perfect, the flu vaccine still provides significant benefits. Studies consistently show that vaccinated individuals who contract the flu often experience milder symptoms, a lower risk of complications, and a reduced likelihood of hospitalization or death compared to those who are unvaccinated. For high-risk groups, such as the elderly, young children, and individuals with chronic health conditions, the flu vaccine remains a critical tool for reducing severe outcomes. Regarding the mention of risks associated with vaccines, it’s important to note that the flu vaccine is generally very safe for most people. Serious side effects are extremely rare, and the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risks for the vast majority of individuals. If someone has specific concerns about vaccine safety due to medical conditions or allergies, they should consult their healthcare provider to discuss their options. As for alternative measures like a D Lamp (ultraviolet light disinfection), while these can be useful for reducing pathogens in the environment, they are not a substitute for vaccination. The flu virus spreads primarily through respiratory droplets, and personal protection measures like hand hygiene, masking, and improving indoor ventilation can complement vaccination but cannot replace its targeted immune protection.

      Because you have already had the "gold standard" test done, and because you have some experiential evidence that removing gluten from your diet causes you to feel better, it would make sense to begin the gluten-free diet as you wait for biopsy results.

      I wasn't given any blood tests. I think I should try the gluten free diet because when I cut it out a few weeks ago for just a couple of days, I know I started feeling better. The difference was actually pretty dramatic. When I learned gluten free eating may cause false negative biopsy results, I went back to gluten full force and feel like you know what × 10. Do you feel it would be okay since the gold standard for diagnosis is behind me or should I wait for biopsy results? In your opinion, of course. I know you can't offer me medical advice.
