You On A Diet?

Anyone reading the "You on a Diet" book I started doing this 3 days ago and it is getting hard to find things that I can eat on this diet. Just curious if anyone else is doing it. The book is great and makes a lot of since but doesn't mention what you can eat if you can't eat whole wheat.

It is hard to diet, and probably even harder to find a book or a diet that you can follow to the letter, since you are gluten free.

I'm noticing there are alot of dieting programmes on the tele, and a few of them advocate what looks pretty much a gluten free diet, emphasising fresh veges, meat, fish etc and fruit with not many grains at all. So our diet must be healthy.

The best diet I have come across is this gluten free diet without all the added extra things like gluten-free treats, muesli bars and cakes etc. I just stick with fresh meat, fruit, dairy and vegetables and maybe a slice of bread a day or some rice or corn crackers and possibly a little something special now and then just to make things not seem too restrictive.

I pay particular care to how I cook my food and obviously deep frying is out, but I ensure I use a little olive oil. One thing about this diet for me is that there is not as much fat or as much salt in it.

I count the calories, which is so yesterday, but it works for me, and you just have to remember that what you put in has to be expended in energy, or else it goes on as extra padding.

Good luck with your diet KayJay and I hope it works. So far I have lost a couple of kilos since Christmas.

body 4 Life is a great diet/work out plan and it is easy to substitute gluten free items. I start it again next week!

      I question your terminology. I believe "gluten intolerance" is used as a synonym for celiac disease in most circles today whereas "gluten sensitivity" is used of NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) though you still see a lot of inconsistency in how the terms are deployed.

      Because of my brother’s supplement regime and my and my husband’s known gene mutations, all of the kids (26,28,30 - I should not call then kids) take PureTherapro RX Methyl Multi without iron, the MagTech magnesium supplement with 3 forms of magnesium, and D3.  I am still trying to find a Fish Oil supplement for them that comes in smaller size capsules.  I take the Metagenics lemon flavored Fish Oil Epa Dha 1000mg gels and the kids call them horse pills.  They want something 1/2 that size bur don’t have a fishy taste.

      Thank you for the response. I didn't think of  the things you presented but they make a ton of good sense. I'm in the USA so no stipend for a formal dx. With the added cost of gluten free food, I wish there was some program to help. I bought a loaf of gluten free bread that cost $7.99 and my usual multi grain is $2.57!  I REALLY felt the doctors taking you more seriously comment. That is a huge issue. I just had fairly extensive blood work done, none of which was testing for celiac, and everything came back normal. I felt completely dismissed by my doctor even though my symptoms remained unchanged. As a matter of fact, Celiac disease wasn't even on my regular doctors radar. I think after studying the symptoms and comparing them with my symptoms that should have been one of his top differential diagnoses. I will follow your advice and wait until after the bx to begin eating gluten free. I'm fairly certain of the diagnosis at this point because 4 days of no gluten has made a difference. I feel somewhat stronger, nowhere near as anxious or irritable, urinating every 2 hours instead of every 30 minutes to an hour and much less nausea.  If anybody has any other words of wisdom, advice, really anything, please let me know..I'm kind of alone in this.

      Yes, some people with Celiac do react to quinoa.  I know i do.  Apparently, two different "breeds" of quinoa can stimulate the immune system. Read here... Variable activation of immune response by quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) prolamins in celiac disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22760575/#:~:text=Cultivars Ayacuchana and Pasankalla stimulated,for patients with celiac disease. And some of us react to corn (maize) as well. Maize prolamins could induce a gluten-like cellular immune response in some celiac disease patients https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24152750/   P.S. @Brook G have you thought about getting a genetic test done for known Celiac genes?

      People who are Celiac don't have a gluten response to Quinoa, but some people who are gluten intolerant do.  I react to quinoa just like I do to gluten.  Freddies/Kroger came out with their own gluten-free Bread and I didn't think to read the ingredients.  I couldn't figure out where I would have gotten gluten in my diet until I read the ingredients in their bread... QUINOA
