Coconut oil is a natural anti-fungal, anti-biotic, anti-viral. It's also a medium chain fatty acid, but for the life of me I can't remember why that's significant. :lol:

If I understand correctly, I belive that a medium chain fatty acid does not easily store as fat in your body.

I do not mind discussing dairy

I'm just as anti-dairy as you are (some other posters here can attest to that :ph34r:), but I do think that raw organic dairy is probably less harmful than processed dairy. I stay away from both versions though, and can't claim to be an expert on raw milk. I have done some research on it though, and the argument for it is quite compelling.

Mango,

I did a lot of research into dairy. I found the most compelling scientific arguement against dairy... I didn' tsave it to my favorites!! I will try to find it again. It may take awhile. I would tell you (with no proof right now) that no "milk" pulled from the mammary glands of another species should be given to a human being. Raw or homogenized. It is not meant for us to consume. I am sure of this- and not simply due to the "yuck factor". I am glad to know there are others out there who feel as I do about dairy. Unfortunately, we cannot make any "dairy" good for us other than our own mother's milk. Just like all living creatures who nurse, the time comes when we no longer require the milk of our mother's. I urge everyone to stop consuming all "dairy products".

I'm not the person you were talking to, but here is some information about dairy.

      You are very welcome.😊 Do keep posting if we can help any further, and also if you aren't a member already I would recommend joining Coeliac UK if only for one year - they produce a very good gluten-free food and drink guide, a printed copy and also an app you can use on a smartphone which I am told is very helpful when one shops.

      Hey all!

      Thank you! I’m currently the breadwinner as my husband is pursuing a finance degree so the nights that I am at work they can eat whatever my husband makes but when I am home we have gluten free meals and no complaints so far! I definitely don’t have a choice but to switch but I think slowly transitioning my family is good!😀

      Hey all!

      Hey everyone! I just joined and figured I’d introduce myself, my name is Savannah, I’ve been with my husband for over 8 years and we have 3 kids, a 7 year old, 5 year old, and 3 year old. I was diagnosed with celiac disease beginning of October along with microscopic colitis, lactose intolerance, and sucrose intolerance. I got sick the day before my 5th ...

I think the one thing I would say is be extra vigilant when eating out.  Never feel afraid to question the service staff.  I think most of my glutenings have happened away from the home.

      Welcome aboard, @Savannah Wert! There usually is a learning curve involved in arriving at a consistently gluten free diet since gluten is found in so many food products where you would never expect it to be. This article may be helpful:  It is good that you have identified some other foods that you cannot tolerate at this point as this is so common in the celiac population and it often goes unaddressed for years. You may find that the lactose intolerance disappears as your gut heals. No guarantee, though. Keep an eye out for the development of celiac symptoms in your children as the likelihood of first degree relatives developing active celiac disease is somewhere between 10% and almost 50%. Yes, the studies on this are all over the map. Is your home gluten free or will you be attempting to avoid CC (Cross Contamination) while fixing gluten-containing foods for your family members? It is always best for everyone in the home to commit to gluten free eating in the home environment when one member has celiac disease.

      Hey everyone! I just joined and figured I’d introduce myself, my name is Savannah, I’ve been with my husband for over 8 years and we have 3 kids, a 7 year old, 5 year old, and 3 year old. I was diagnosed with celiac disease beginning of October along with microscopic colitis, lactose intolerance, and sucrose intolerance. I got sick the day before my 5th wedding anniversary and thought it was just the flu, which lasted over 3 months. I finally had a colonoscopy and endoscopy and was diagnosed. This has been such a hard transition and any tips are greatly appreciated!
