When Wakefield resident Ivy Bourque's daughter was first diagnosed with celiac disease 17 years ago, food alternatives and awareness of the condition was anything but widespread. “At the time, very few people knew about it,” said Bourque. “It wasn't as ...

mmmmm.... :rolleyes: page 2

Mata, who suffers from gluten sensitivity herself, cut most wheat out of her diet about 20 years ago. The Natural Food Exchange owner said she noticed symptoms of low energy, foggy brain, irritability and joint pain when she decided to go mostly gluten-free.

“I’ve mostly eliminated it, because I’m not true celiac,” said Mata. “I have one gene for celiac and one gene for gluten sensitivity. You need two genes for full-blown celiac.”

Going gluten free can be expensive for some, however, as the alternative foods tend to cost more than their wheat-filled counterparts. Those diagnosed with celiac disease can get a federal tax deduction on their gluten-free purchases. Getting those deductions requires a bit of painstaking record keeping, however.

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      By Jason Dyer · Posted

      Trents, It's a good question. The experts I have spoken to have told me the distillation process does remove the offensive proteins. Again, I'm not the expert on that. I'm only reporting. I don't have any issue with distilled spirits that don't have any additives. That said, maybe there is something else at play here? Good question for the forum.

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      By trents · Posted

      I'm wondering if this is the same issue some celiacs have with distilled liquors. The complete gluten molecule is too large and heavy to to travel up with the vapor but if their are gluten fragments created by the heat, they may not be and the immune systems of some celiacs still recognize it as gluten. I have no scientific proof for this, just a thought because we have so many forum contributors who still react to these "gluten removed" products.

      Thanks, Scott and Trents. Scott, tastes vary of course. The metallic taste may just be me. As to the filtration efficacy, I can only add that the micron level to remove a smaller protein chain must be pretty tight. What about the impact of hydrolization on the R5 test? I've been told it presents a challenge. Trents, thanks for the clarification. I did not draw this distinction, but can. I honestly didn't perceive the nuance.  Appreciate the feedback from you both.

      Medicinal mushrooms 🍄

      By Liquid lunch · Posted

      I don’t think it matters much if you trust the supplier, I get them from a Welsh company maesyffin mushrooms but I think the guy there has retired from growing now and just resells eu imports so it’s probably the same mushrooms he uses to make the tinctures as the company you posted. It’d probably be cheaper to buy dried and make your own tincture.

      Could this be Celiac disease?

      By Chissers · Posted

      Thank you for your prompt reply. Have others experienced LUQ and L sided back pain when on gluten? Could gluten be irritating the pancreas to cause the slight rise in lipase?
