Wanting To Talk To Someone

This weekend I was in the Bakersfield, California area visting my folks. We went to Bakersfield to a place called Lassen's. It is a family owned store similar to Whole Foods. They had a lot of great gluten-free products. The best thing about that visit was that one of the employees is a Celiac. We were able to talk a bit. After I left I realized that this was the first time that I was able to talk face to face with someone else who is dealing with celiac disease. It felt GREAT!!! :D I've asked this before...anyone reading this from Fresno, CA??? :unsure:

Hi Kathleen,

I am in your area. We talked on email a few times, but I lost my entire email address book, so I haven't contacted anyone in a while. Please email me and we can plan a time to get together.

god bless,

Mariann

Hi Kathleen,

I recently moved to Fresno from San Jose (just a bit south/west of Clovis). I am classified as "gluten-intolerant" rather than celiac because I have not been diagnosed via the biopsy. Regardless of the label, however, I need to be gluten-free to stay healthy. I was diagnosed almost 2 years ago, so have some experience with the disease and the emotional impact it can have on your life. I don't know much about Fresno yet, but would be happy to talk to you any time. Feel free to email. - Alicia

Hey, I am here in Clovis, just diagnosed last week, feeling lonely and like I've entered a bizarre universe!! Thankfully, Trader Joe's saved my life.

This thread is from last summer, but if you guys check it again, let me know! We could meet for gluten-free coffee..... :rolleyes:

Hi Susan...I havn't been on this board in a long while. I just read your message from the beginning of this year. Wish I had read it earlier. I know what you mean by a bizarre universe. After 6 months ...how are you feeling...Kathleen

Hi, I am pretty close to you, living in Bakersfield, going to Fresno often as my husband attends FSU. I love Lassen's as well. The owner there takes a real interest in Celiac's and Gluten intolerance as well as Wheat intol. Their Kinnikinik bread is THE BOMB.

      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
