First All Day Outing Today

I took my kids to Boston today to meet up with a friend and her kids. We were gone most of the day, so that meant packing a lot of food! My original plans for the food I was going to make and bring fell through as the stores didn't have all the ingredients. Oh well, packed up enough stuff and we were on our way. A couple things struck me today. We ate at the cafe at the Aquarium and I looked around and everyone was eating chicken fingers and french fries and junk. Made me feel kind of good that my boys were getting something good for them. I also couldn't believe how little money I spent today, not eating out! Bonus was I got an iced coffee at Starbuck's, as I thought to bring along a little container of coconut milk! Anyway, all in all, it was a good day! PS-my 4-year-old brought me something he REALLY wanted (when we got home) and I said yes. He looked at me and said, "Mommy, it's gluten-free???" It was neat. That's the first time I'd heard him say that. :)

That's great. I'm glad you enjoyed your time! I remember that I used to feel like I was stepping out into a different world(outside the safe, friendly one at home). Now our motto is "Have food, will travel." :) It's amazing how much you can save. We went to a festival recently and I was thinking about how much it would have cost if we had purchased stuff there-$$$$$. Bonus for us-we get good food and save money. Win-win!

"Chicken fingers, fries, and junk."

And that is the one reason why I am actually GLAD I was diagnosed celiac. It gave me an excuse to eat HEALTHY. While I still do like french fries from Red Robin from time to time, I eat SO much healthier now... I love it! Oh, I feel so good eating a salad or something along those lines when I see people eating greasy hamburgers and the like. That is a HUGE plus in my book. The random glutenings are terrible, but dang I'm happy about the health benefits of the diet!!

Also, very cute about your son. :P

      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
