Hello,

I'm 52 and was diagnosed 14 years ago, it was consisdered very rare in 1993. I've found that being a Celiac is only what you make it, to me, it's no big deal and as time goes by, even less so. If I can offer any support or advice from experience, please feel free to write.

I really hope I get to the point you are. I have only been dx's for 2 mo, and eating gluten-free for a little less. To me it seems to overtake my entire life. I am constantly worrying about what I'm eating, what I can't eat, what am I reacting to now? Grrr... I would love to just for a day eat without thinking!

Thanks for giving me hope.

I second that statement. I was diagnosed 19 years ago, it's no biggy. I hate it when people say they feel sorry for me. I say not to, I don't want a pitty party. I'm perfectly fine having it. There could be worse things. I'm just glad I'm not sick anymore.

There are new gluten-free products coming out all the time. Good ones at that, Back then you had shuttle tile bread and crappy styrofoam crackers. It's in the news quite a bit now and some people have actually heard of it and don't look at you like you have 3 heads.

It will become normal to you, and you will think nothing of it. It just takes time.

Well put. I see a lot of complaining when people should be greatful that the cause is known and can be dealt with, we are no longer some unknown minority. Anything that keeps one away from eating many types of junk food is a good thing. Imagine that....being a celiac is a good thing!!

I think about all the foods - the wide variety of natural foods - that I eat that all the other 'normal' people I know haven't even heard about, and kinda think maybe I'm the lucky one. ;)

Besides that, I bring in muffins and cobbler and other fun things on occasion (I'm gluten-free, CF, and soy-light), and everyone *loves* them. Not exactly deprived there. ;)

      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?

      @BoiseNic Have you tried the Autoimmune Protocol Diet?  This Paleo diet cuts out most everything except meat, veggies and some fruits.  By cutting out all the carbohydrates, especially processed ones, the carbohydrate loving bacteria and fungi like Candida get starved out and die off.  After that, taking probiotics to help repopulate the gut is beneficial.  The new strains of bacteria don't have to fight the established unhealthy yeasts and bad bacteria which causes a rise in histamine levels which can make one feel sick.   Certain vitamins help keep bad bacteria and fungi at bay.  Thiamine is one.  Antibiotics can deplete Thiamine stores.  The Gluten free diet can be low in Thiamine and the other vitamins and minerals needed for healthy skin and digestive tract.  Vitamin C, Vitamin D, zinc, and Niacin B 3 are important to skin health.  Niacin is especially helpful in Dermatitis Herpetiformis.  I like the kind that flushes (Nicotinic Acid - not the same as nicotine in cigarettes).  The flushing gets less and less the longer it's taken, but Niacinamide which doesn't cause flushing can be taken instead.     Here's an interesting article.  Compare the bacteria mentioned in the article with your Skinesa and then with the Visbiome probiotics.   The Role of Probiotics in Skin Health and Related Gut–Skin Axis: A Review https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10385652/ Visbiome https://www.visbiome.com/collections/all/products/visbiome-capsules
