Against The Grain

It's been a while since I've popped in to share or had time to read what's been happening. Life gets so busy sometimes!

Last week I was able to attend our local support group meeting and afterwards we had a couple folks sharing their gluten-free wares. I had to share my discovery. One company really stood out -- the folks from Against the Grain Gourmet (www.againstthegraingourmet.com/index.htm) were there with a few of their products. They have developed gluten-free rolls, baguettes, bagels, pizza crusts and pizza. I was able to try the baguettes and rolls and was impressed. It was the first time I'd tried a roll or french bread that was any where similar to the wheat counterpart. They are light and airy like rolls and french bread should be. I bought two baguettes and a bag of rolls over the weekend at Whole Foods (freezer section). I brought a roll to a cookout Saturday and tested it with a hamburger. It was fantastic! I was so happy! The juice from the burger didn't cause the bread to become immediately soggy. It held up and it tasted really good.

These products aren't available everywhere yet. They are predominantly available in New England, but they have plans to expand their distribution this year. If you live in an area where you can purchase their products, I recommend checking them out. I was really thrilled that they were at our meeting to share their products. I'm grateful to the folks that have a gift when it comes to cooking and baking and have taken the time to create these wonderful products to share with us.

I think I saw your post about this. Definitely let us know when they do, Brattleboro isn't too far for me to drive. I'd definitely take a day trip to stock up.

where do you live? The cheapest place to find there products is Greenfields market in Greenfield Mass. The products are only 5.99 instead of 7 dollars or more at other places. I heard the bakery will sell the stuff just as expensive as the stores. If you come here go to the Brattleboro Food Co-op. Their sit in eatery has all food labeled gluten free or not. They also sell a new gluten free bread made in town called Walk On water. It is really good. I can't eat it though because it is made with white rice which bothers me.

I live in Western Mass -- I don't think Greenfield is too far. I'll have to check it out. The baguettes were almost $8 and the rolls were about $6 at Whole Foods. I was okay spending that because I'm not a huge bread eater. But, if I can get other things in Greenfield, it is probably worth the drive. Thank you for the tip :-)

I have been patiently waiting for them to hit Pa!!!! Can you compare them to Everybody Eats? they also have to die for crusty rolls & baguettes. Also which is better Walk on Water or Against the Grain?

thanks for your opinion

      Stomach pains etc 2 weeks after start of gluten-free diet

      By JuggaloDad · Posted

      My daughter has only been eating gluten free for maybe 2weeks and she is still complaining about her stomach pains and I'm under the impression that that is probably long term sign effects that her body is dealing with.... She went months before the diagnosis and well if she is still doin the eating disorder things then I'm sure that is only prolonging recovery on her guts.... She is very withdrawn with This entire process so I can only go off what I see and am aware of.... She at first refused all gluten free food and is now only eating gluten free but not 3 meals at day or anything... dietary doctor said for he to eat in like snack portions ,which she does but i would like to see her eat more but I'm ok with he atleast tryin.....I know it's a lot on her....but Im hoping maybe within a month she will stop experiencing the pains in stomach ( as long as she isn't sneaking gluten) and she will see the positive side of it all....., I'm also hoping that once we get a diet situated that her depression and etc balances out...... She is anti medication ( which is weird knowing she was self medicating with THC ) , so I'm hoping the nutrition and diet balancing will improve some of her mental pain as well .... I know that at 16 alot of factors come into play but I just want my daughter healthy and successful and this Celiac is nothing to try to overlook... ..

      You could try CBD for her instead of THC, although I don't think it enhances the appetite the way THC does.  With anorexia appetine is everything.  CBD also attaches to the opiod receptors, without the psychotropic effect so it may help with the withdrawal from gluten. There are lots of vitamin and mineral deficiencies caused by Celiac Disease the the doctors are often not aware of.  Vitamin D, Thiamine (B1). Also B2, B3, B5, choline and Iodine are very common and it takes larger doses at first to replenish than the minimum RDA.  Deficiency in these slows the healing process because they process glucose for energy and iodine is essential for replacing old and defective cells.  Especially when dealing with anorexia.  As her small intestine heals she will begin to absorb most of the other 20 essential vitamins and minerals will be fullfilled though diet.

      Gluten in Escitalopram??

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Hello @Farmerswife As @trents said talk to your doctor about changing to a different drug.  I I was given a prescription for Zanax, took one dose and could not sit down for four hours.  Twitching all over, and my eyes felt like they were propped open with toothpicks.  Perhaps the old standard, often refered to as "mother's little helper" Valium would help. Celiac Disease causes deficiency of vitamim D.  Low vitamin D causes depression.  Starting at 1,000 IU a day I increased every few days until at 10,000 IU after 3 days it hit me "This is sunshine in a bottle" and I haven't been depressed since.  That ended a depression that had lasted from when I was 39 until 63 years old.  It was like an unending SAD Seasonal Affective Disorder. Another mineral deficiency that helped me was low dose, 5 mg, Lithium Orotate.  It reduced the anxiety that it had to get done now.  Most of our lithium comes in our drinking water.  With everyone drinking filtered or bottled water, we become deficient.  I think it may explain the explosion of mass shootings.  Between low vitamin D and low lithium intake, we are in a mental meltdown.

      Gluten in Escitalopram??

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Farmerswife! You are correct. Cornstarch should not contain gluten unless there is an issue with "cross contamination" with wheat/barley/rye in the processing. Even then, I can't imagine there being enough gluten in those pills/caplets/capsules to cause a reaction. Is this med in pill form, caplet form or capsule form? If capsule, it is possible that the capsule itself is made from wheat.  Another possibility is that your are "cross reacting" to the cornstarch. Maize is a fairly common cross reactor in the celiac community. But even so, there would likely be little maize (the protein component of corn) in the starch. Still another possibility, and the most likely one I'm thinking, is that you are experiencing a side effect of the med itself. It is an SSRI. Have you tried other SSRIs. SSRI's listed side effects include nausea and diarrhea. However, Escitalopram has the reputation of having less of a tendency than other SSRIs to produce these side effects. But you never know. Every individual is different. Have you tried other SSRIs?

      Gluten in Escitalopram??

      By Farmerswife · Posted

      Recently diagnosed with Celiac and trying to figure out all the things. One concern I have is I have taken Escitalopram for years. Insurance does not pay for name brand so that is not an option. Cannot get it compounded at any local pharmacy. The generic brand that I have says it is not gluten free due to it having cornstarch in it. From what I understand cornstarch is gluten free. I do feel "glutened" most of the time when I take this. Anyone else have this issue and did you find a solution? Everything I google says Escitalopram is gluten free, but I don't think this one is.
