I am new here, recently diagnosed. I was wondering what brand of gluten free corn meal mix you would suggest. My husband (Tennessee born and bred lol) loves beans and corn bread and I am hoping I can find a gluten free brand that both of us can enjoy (Hubby does not have celica disease).

Thanks!

Tanya

Oh...I want to share my Aw Ha moment from this morning. I am standing in the bedroom putting on my socks and shoes and I don't have to "hold" on to the bed post like I always did before or I would loose my balance. Then it hit me. I had read on here about one problem with celiac disease was balance issues. It seems like in less then 2 weeks my balance is already getting better.

And I got on the scale this morning and have already lost almost 5 pounds in less then 2 weeks :) woo hoo !!!!

Thanks everyone for all your great posts and information. You are going to make this journey to a healthier happier me so much easier.

Glad to hear you're feeling better already!

I just made Bob's Red Mill G.F. Cornbread Mix tonight and it was delicious!!! You won't be able to tell a difference.

As long as you are not sensitive to oats Bob's Red Mill is a good one. There isn't any oats in the mix but it is processed in the same plant. I get the corn flour rather than the corn bread mix as I don't like sorghum which is in the mix.

Bob's Red Mill gluten-free Cornbread is fantastic!! I love my beans and cornbread, too, so I was pleasantly suprised to find a good mix! IT's really easy to make, too!

P.S. Where in TN is your hubby from? I lived in Memphis for 10 years....still miss that place (especially during the long Chicago winters)! :(

      I’m so confused…

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      For my first couple of years after discovering my celiac disease I also had to avoid cow's milk/casein and eggs, as well as other things, but could tolerate duck eggs and sheep and goat's milk products. I'm not sure if you've tried those, but it could be worth testing them out.

      Hello, @Kwinkle, How are you doing?   Have you tried adding a Magnesium supplement?   The B Complex vitamins need magnesium to work properly, especially thiamine vitamin B 1.   Magnesium deficiency symptoms and Thiamine deficiency symptoms both include gas and bloating.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms also include loss of appetite and fatigue.   My gas and bloating resolved rather quickly when I took Benfotiamine (a form of thiamine shown to promote intestinal healing) and Magnesium Glycinate in addition to my B 50 Complex (all twice a day plus the following...).   I found Magnesium L-Threonate or Magnesium Taurate are better when taken with a form of thiamine called TTFD (Tetrahydrofurfuryl dusulfide) because all of these cross the blood brain barrier easily, which corrects the loss of appetite, fatigue and anxiety.    Like @Celiacandme said, keeping a food/mood/poo'd journal is a big help in finding problematic foods, and for making sure your diet is not carbohydrate heavy.  If you're eating a lot if processed gluten free facsimile foods, be aware they do not have vitamins and minerals added to them like their gluten containing counterparts.  For every 1000 kcal of carbohydrates, we need an extra 500 mg of thiamine to turn them into energy and not store them as fat.   Let us know how you're doing!

      Yes, if you had symptoms when eating gluten ruling out celiac disease won't necessarily mean you'll be able to eat gluten again, although it might mean that you may be able to be less strict with your gluten-free diet.

      Testing

      Have you considered the possibility that you might have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) rather than celiac disease? They share many of the same symptoms, the difference being that NCGS does not damage the lining of the small bowel. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. There is no test yet available for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. In view of your genetic profile, I would give it consideration.
