Hi Everyone,

I have been diagnosed Celiac disease recently. I have been on Gluten free diet for a week now. When i used to ate wheat, I never felt this much weakness. But now going Gluten free make me feel very weak. I feel tiredness all the day. I reside in India, so have no much choice than to depend upon rice and maize. twice a day i take rice and once maize chapati. can anyone plz help how to overcome the weakness.

I don't know much about Indian food but you need to eat more than twice a day. You need to eat more than just rice and corn. You need protein & fruit or vegetables. Can you eat meat, fish, dairy, beans, eggs?

You could be in a bit of a withdrawl, some people seem to get that... I did. I felt very poorly, tired and cranky for the first two weeks. That could be contributing to your weakness.

It could be lack of calories too. Perhaps a small handful of seeds or nuts about 3 hours after your last meal to help tide you over.

Good luck. :)

      Global Food Gluten Free Certification

      By RMJ · Posted

      That is strange.  Other pages talk about testing. The one thing I like about GFCO is that the handbook for their certification process is available on their website.  I may not agree with the whole process, especially the reduced testing, but at least I can see what the process is. I wish the other certifying organizations would publish their processes. GFCO 2024 manual

      GFCO does not require testing of each lot, so the “periodic laboratory analyses” fits their requirements. They say testing is done by certified bodies.  I’m not sure what that means for an Italian company. The GFCO requirement is less than 10 ppm.  Other gluten-free certifying companies may use other limits.

      Thanks for the info on Nuts.com! Looks like they are certified by GFFP which has a 5ppm limit, which is awesome. I was looking on the GFFP website ( https://glutenfreefoodprogram.com/gluten-free-certification-manufacturing/ ) as I was curious about what their certification requirements are, and stumbled on an odd statement. On a page where they're explaining the benefits of getting a certification through them, it says "No mandatory gluten testing requirements." Ummm, what?! I've included screenshots and a link below to where that information is. I've also emailed GFFP to try and get additional info on what that statement actually means, and what requirements (testing, audits, ingredient tracing) if any manufacturers have to go through to obtain/retain a certification through them. They're endorsed by The National Celiac Association so you'd sure think that GFFP would be requiring 3rd party testing for their certification, but at this point not much would surprise me with these gluten-free certifying companies. https://glutenfreefoodprogram.com/gluten-free-certification-manufacturing/

      I have written to them about sharing details of the lab that does testing for them. That way I can at least know the contamination threshold the lab tests for. For I had written to GFCO in regards to another brand that GFCO told me they do not have the info on the testing threshold for contamination on individual brands. They let the companies set that for themselves. Anyway, I am going to try La Tourangelle and see if that works.
