Hi,

I was wondering..have you experienced any benefits of not being able to eat GLUTEN or being celiac or having gluten intolerance?

My husband was diagnosed with gluten intolerance in July, 2006...We had very difficult days, weeks, and months..and still being gluten free or dealing with the effects of gluten is not easy and often overwhelming. It affects every aspect of our life. But, we think that this condition is very important for us because we learned so much and changed our life style so much...I personaly can say that we would not do it this way if he did not get sick. So, for us, there are benefits of not being able to eat gluten.

Does anyone feel the same way?

i have noticed how much healthier you eat. lots more fruits and veggies, dairy dosnt bother me so i drink and eat a lot more, so lots of calcium in my diet. i eat smaller more frequent meals which is better for you, and no more mcdonalds! i still have some treats in my fridge (brownies from a great bakery in BC) but very little prosecced food in the house.

I actually know how to cook now! And i love it!! The other day I was making a grilled zuchini, carmelized onion pasta w/ goat cheese and shrimp and my friend remarked how much my culinary talents have grown - two years ago, if it didn't come out of a box I couldn't have handled it!

There's a number of things that I wouldn't have tried without going gluten free - like amaranth.

As I repearedly tell my wife, finding out I had celiac disease was the BEST thing to ever happen to me. I eat healthy, feel 100 times better than I have in forever, and have sold off my stock in Pepto Bismol and Tums B)

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      By Raquel2021 · Posted

      This was my main symptom. I still get it from time to time. Also feels like a burning pain on the upper abdomen. I think the wine could definitely cause the pain to be worse. There are do many things I still can't eat.

      Intolerance after eating certified pasta gluten free could be caused by additives & or stabilaiser added in the composition of the pasta ingredients, even in the best brands please ceck well before buyng & eating

      By trents · Posted

      Yes and this is true of gluten free ready made, processed and prepackaged foods in general. In particular, hard to digest polysaccharides are commonly used in these products that give many celiacs issues and I personally don't handle some emulsifiers well. IMO, reactions to these ingredients are often mistaken for a gluten reaction.

      Intolerance to certified gluten-free pasta may be due to additives or stabilizers included in the pasta's ingredients, even among the top brands. It's important to check thoroughly before purchasing and consuming; you can find the actual ingredients listed in the detailed component descriptions on Amazon.

      Thank you for this information and your post. I have tried just about every diet there is. I have been experimenting with diet for years and years. I am a vegan, so the diet you mentioned is not an option. Fasting always works for me. Probably because I am detoxing and not feeding candida or parasites. Meat eaters have a higher prevalence of parasites, just so you know. I have a feeling that every time I break out on probiotics it's due to some kind of war with my gut biome. I definitely need to find a system of flushing out my gut so that the probiotics don't have to fight as hard to populate.

      Sommersby cider, alcohol generally

      By bharal · Posted

      I'm unsure if sommersby cider is likely to have cross contamination issues, given its made by a beer company. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I'm assuming wine generally is ok, as it's bottled in a vineyard, but what about other (ostensiblygluten free) liquors?
