Did Anyone See This On The Today Show?

Did anyone see this? My mother (a self-diagnosed gluten-intolerant) is coming to visit me for a while, so we're going try it together and see if it makes a difference. Just thought I'd share! :)

Glowing Green Smoothie

Makes 2 servings, 16 ounces each

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups water

1 head organic Romaine lettuce, chopped

3-4 stalks organic celery

1/2 head organic spinach

1 organic apple, cored and chopped

1 organic pear, cored and chopped

1/3 bunch organic cilantro (stems OK)

1/3 bunch organic parsley (stems OK)

1 organic banana

Juice of 1/2 fresh organic lemon

Directions

Add water, chopped head of romaine lettuce to the blender. Starting the blender on a low speed, mix until smooth. Gradually moving to higher speeds, add the celery, apple, pear, cilantro and parsley. Add the banana and lemon juice last.

Nutrients: 87 calories, 11 grams of natural fruit sugar in a 16-ounce glass.

It takes about 10 minutes to make and you can prepare in advance. It will last up to 2 days in the fridge. You can also make it once a week and freeze in portion-size glass containers. Thaw them out the night before.

Why should I drink this: It's a daily detox. Sixteen ounces is 100 percent of the USDA-recommended total daily amount of veggies for women. It is 20 ounces for men. Since the vegetables and fruits are chopped and blended, you body doesn't have to do the breaking down to get the nutrients. The fiber in it also helps you to feel full so you don't overeat.

:blink: Sounds yucky. Be sure to let us know how it tastes. Maybe there's enough fruit to hide the veggies, or maybe 'cause it's morning I'm thinking in the wrong terms. :P

Actually in the video they said that it's really delicious and that all you can taste is the fruit. But there's only one way to find out!

The calorie count is off. An apple, pear, banana, lemon are going to be about 400 calories divided by 2 = 200, the vegetables are maybe another 100 total div by 2 = 50, so about 250 calories a serving.

      Glutening symptom? oily stool

      By ognam · Posted

      Has anyone had Steatorrhea (oily/fatty poop) as a temporary glutening symptom or should I be concerned I've introduced chronic gluten somewhere (like in meds)? I haven't gotten Steatorrhea since before I went gluten free. However, I moved in the past few weeks and haven't been as careful - I've eaten at restauraunts with cross contamination but only experienced minor symptoms like headache. The past week, I ate only gluten free food at home except I went to Red Robin and got fries (told them gluten-free; allergy). The next day I had Steatorrhea and the day after that.   I know it's a symptom of malabsorption so I was wondering if it was the kind of thing that could be caused by one event or if it was due to a more chronic issue. Of course I will speak to a GI but I recently moved and need to find one.   Thank you for any info

      Anyone else with very high HDL?

      By plumbago · Posted

      A relative has opened another door for me on this issue -- the possibility of menopause raising HDL. Most studies suggest that menopause decreases HDL-C, however, one study found that often it's increased. "Surprisingly, HDL cholesterol was higher (p < 0.001) in postmenopausal women by 11%. Further, the number of women who had low HDL cholesterol was higher in pre vs. postmenopausal women. The range of ages were 26–49 years for pre-menopausal and 51–74 years for postmenopausal women. "This interesting finding has also been observed by other investigators. It is possible that the observed increase in HDL-C in postmenopausal women could be due to a protective mechanism to counterbalance the deleterious effects of biomarkers associated with menopause. However, further studies are needed to confirm this theory. And to the point raised earlier about functionality: "...some patients with elevated HDL-C concentrations could remain at risk for coronary events if HDL is not functional and some authors have suggested that this could be the case for menopausal women." Postmenopausal Women Have Higher HDL and Decreased Incidence of Low HDL than Premenopausal Women with Metabolic Syndrome. By no means to I think this is definitive, rather food for thought.

      Increasing symptoms after going gluten free

      By ognam · Posted

      Yes, lots of delicious things have barley malt. It also doesn't include rye. And there are a number of grains commonly cross contaminated such as oats.   Additionally, wheat allergies are different from gluten allergies as wheat allergies are a reaction to a wheat protein. So something *could* contain wheat gluten without causing a wheat allergic response (though realistically,  I don't know how likely that is to occur)

      Although it is true that FDA regulations don't require gluten to be included in allergy info, it does require wheat and ingredients made from wheat to be listed. Of course, that doesn't preclude gluten from barley being found in a product.

      Increasing symptoms after going gluten free

      By ognam · Posted

      I had a lot of weird/random symptoms for a few months after going gluten free. But eventually they evened out and I felt SO MUCH BETTER. The person above wrote a very detailed message that looks helpful. I'd add don't forget to check for gluten in places like medicine. Advil liquigels, for example, have gluten. It's very frustrating trying to figure out if things are gluten free as us law doesn't require it to be declared. The only labeling rule is that if the product says gluten free, it must have less than 20ppm gluten.
