Hi Everyone,

My 4 year old was dx in June w/positive blood and biopsy. No external symptoms so we don't know if we are doing a good job keeping her gluten-free...that is really hard.

Can you tell me if Lip smackers are gluten-free, smartie candies (I was told yes by the co. and no by someone on another site), and simple fast easy ways for lunches or on the go ideas.

Aside from fruit and veggies I feel like everything else that is gluten-free is not healthy, the cereals, breaads, etc. Any insight would be great!

I have tried posting here before and maybe I actually did but can't remember. Iam having trouble with passwords. Any suggestions thoughts, etc. would be greatly appreciated!

Oh did I mention I am unorganized and so not a cook! :D

Thank you!

Marcy

Kendra thank you for your reply! I can boil water so she has had lots of the tinky pasta. I just feel like she gets variety. I don't know. I was calling around for school supplies and got so frustrated. The lady at avery said they don't put anything from Goats in their glue! I repeated gluten and WBRO but she just kept saying sorry not goat products! So frustrating. Anyway, thank you for your tips ordering pretels now!

Hi, Envirokids also makes a cereal that resembles Kixs and also one that is peanut butter flavored. My son likes both. We went to the beach a couple of weeks ago and I was at a loss for a lunch to bring for him. He said he wanted chicken nuggets. I figured oh well, why not. So I heated up some of Wellshire Farms gluten free chicken nuggets and put them him his insulated lunch box. They stayed warm and he ate them very happily. Last year when he was 4 I found it more difficult to feed him things he will like. He will be 6 in November and his willingness to try new foods is expanding. Dinner is the easiest because all meats, veggies, and potatoes are ok as long as there are no sauces or gravies. Just watch the instant type potatoes. Hungry Jack and Betty Crocker are ok as long as you stay away from the flavored ones (if not just read the ingredients).

I got on Nini's website for her newbies list. I can't find the link right now but it was really helpful. She had one for school supplies. All crayola stuff was ok except for Crayola dough. Elmer's products were ok except for finger paints. So we went name brand this year :) . Good luck. The longer I deal with this the more I learn I have been doing wrong. I keep telling myself to learn and do better next time. Kendra

I PMed you the school supply list and here would be where you could get the rest. Phone calls are a pain for me too since the kids always act up while I am trying to get some info. :) Kendra

      Refractory or super sensitive?

      @glucel, I agree with @trents.  You can still do the AIP diet while taking aspirin.   I'm one of those very sensitive to pharmaceuticals and have gotten side affects from simple aspirin.  Cardiac conduction abnormalities and atrial arrhythmias associated with salicylate toxicity https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3952006/ Another part of the problem is that those drugs, aspirin and warfarin, as well as others, can cause nutritional deficiencies.  Pharmaceuticals can affect the absorption and the excretion of essential vitamins, (especially the eight B vitamins) and minerals.   Potential Drug–Nutrient Interactions of 45 Vitamins, Minerals, Trace Elements, and Associated Dietary Compounds with Acetylsalicylic Acid and Warfarin—A Review of the Literature https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11013948/   Aspirin causes a higher rate of excretion of Thiamine Vitamin B1.  Thiamine deficiency can cause tachycardia, bradycardia, and other heart problems.  Other vitamins and minerals, like magnesium, are affected, too.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make life sustaining enzymes.  Without sufficient Thiamine and magnesium and other essential nutrients our health can deteriorate over time.  The clinical symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are subtle, can easily be contributed to other causes, and go undiagnosed because few doctors recognize Thiamine deficiency disorders. Thiamine deficiency disorders: a clinical perspective https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8451766/ Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of vitamins and minerals.  Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals can boost absorption.   Our bodies cannot make vitamins and minerals.  We must get them from our diet.  The Gluten free diet can be low in Thiamine and the other B vitamins.  Gluten free processed foods are not required to be enriched nor fortified with vitamins and minerals like their gluten containing counterparts. You would be better off supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals than taking herbal remedies.  Turmeric is known to lower blood pressure.  If you already have low blood pressure, taking turmeric would lower it further. Curcumin/turmeric supplementation could improve blood pressure and endothelial function: A grade-assessed systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38220376/ I've taken Benfotiamine for ten years without any side effects, just better health.

      Muscle atrophy in legs

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Polymyositis is a rare autoimmune disease that makes your immune system attack your muscles. Any autoimmune disease is associated with low vitamin D.   Even as a kid I had weak legs.  Now I feel the burn just walking to the mailbox. A case-control study found that patients with polymyositis (PM) had higher lactate levels at rest and after exercise, indicating impaired muscle oxidative efficiency. The study also found that an aerobic training program reduced lactate levels and improved muscle performance.

      Micronutrient Inadequacies in the US Population "A US national survey, NHANES 2007-2010, which surveyed 16,444 individuals four years and older, reported a high prevalence of inadequacies for multiple micronutrients (see Table 1). Specifically, 94.3% of the US population do not meet the daily requirement for vitamin D, 88.5% for vitamin E, 52.2% for magnesium, 44.1% for calcium, 43.0% for vitamin A, and 38.9% for vitamin C. For the nutrients in which a requirement has not been set, 100% of the population had intakes lower than the AI for potassium, 91.7% for choline, and 66.9% for vitamin K. The prevalence of inadequacies was low for all of the B vitamins and several minerals, including copper, iron, phosphorus, selenium, sodium, and zinc (see Table 1). Moreover, more than 97% of the population had excessive intakes of sodium, defined as daily intakes greater than the age-specific UL" My Supplements: Vitamin D 10,000 IU (250 mcg) DHEA 100 mg  (Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) levels in the body decrease steadily with age, reaching 10–20% of young adult levels by age 70. DHEA is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands that the body uses to create androgens and estrogens.) 500 mcg Iodine 10 drops of Liquid Iodine B1 Thiamin 250 mg B2 Riboflavin 100 mg B3 Nicotinic Acid 500 mg B5 Pantothenice Acid 500 mg Vitamin C 500 mg Selenium twice a week 200 mcg

      The paleo diet is based on the idea that the human body evolved to consume a balanced ratio of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids, and that the modern diet is out of balance. A healthy ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 is 1:1–4:1, while the modern diet is closer to 20:1–40:1. The paleo diet aims to restore this balance.

      Best thing you can do for them! First-degree family members (parents, siblings, children), who have the same genotype as the family member with celiac disease, have up to a 40% risk of developing celiac disease. Make sure you and they get enough vitamin D and iodine in their diet.   Iodine deficiency is a significant cause of mental developmental problems in children, including implications on reproductive functions and lowering of IQ levels in school-aged children. Vitamin D deficiency is common in the United States, affecting up to 42% of the population.
