New painkiller, Journavx
Bev in Milw replied to Lotte18's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Could be made on non-dedicated line that also produces meds that aren’t gluten-free. Trace amount over extended time can cause symptoms while source is difficult to identify. And with any new med drug, there’s not a lot of experience/ history on reactions or side effects. Find what is known at ‘dailymed ‘ website. This is NIH’s drug registry & man... -
Based on the amount of gluten in typical US diet, our bodies have a really high tolerance for gluten. While it makes us sick, from inflammation, poor digestion/limited absorption of basic nutrients, & specific vitamin & mineral deficiencies, it doesn’t kill quickly. By this time celiac is dx-ed, our immune system are usually over worked & ...

While looking for info on low iodine foods (my grand cat is on Rx + low-iodine diet for equivalent of Graves’ disease), I serendipitously found site on low-iodine diet at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.

Dermatitis Herpetiformis Help Please
Bev in Milw replied to Caroline S's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
IgA deposits under the skin are responsible for dermatitis herpetiformis. Trace exposure to gluten triggers outbreaks & perpetuates deposites. Iodine only causes reaction in existing ones. If you’re gluten-free long enough, body may break down deposits. Gluten is topical products/ shampoos -VitE from wheat germ, hydrolyzed wheat protein,, etc, ... -
This link might be helpful…https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29102613/ I listened to Celiac Forum by the Celiac Center at Columbia University sometime last year.

Gluten-free bread
Bev in Milw replied to Kate1990's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Checkouts gluten-free recipes at twww.redstaryeast.com We tried a bread machine years ago and weren’t happy with results. Bread machines have pre-set rise & bake times. Unfortunately, the program doesn’t adjust to slight differences when measuring, relative humidity or temperature of ingredients & in kitchens. Lots of efforts for ONE odd- si... -
After starting gluten-free diet, it’s not uncommon to have a worse reaction to much less gluten than before one’s dx…. Once immune system is no longer overwhelmed by a huge amount of gluten in typical diet, it can identify trace amounts & react swiftly at full force.

Sometimes having them look different is good thing. If they look similar, you can tell the difference but others may not & eat your gluten-free ones as well. Not a problem for them but leaves you with none. When appearance matters, might try using “pam-ed” 6” pizza pans or pie tins or even parchment paper. Spread dough in circle, fold. ...

Notes on the opioid theory….Back in the early 90s there was online group for parents of kids with autism who were being treated with gluten-free and casein-free diets. Treatment was based on the “opioid- effect“ of proteins in wheat and milk. While that website seems to be gone, I found this link to the original study— https://www.princeton.edu/~se... -

It takes about 4 months to build new red blood cells and Vitamin B12is necessary to the process. B12 occurs naturally in animal-based food products so those who consume little or are vegan need to supplement. It is absorbed at the bottom on the small intestine where ph is lowest and requires an “intrinsic factor” for utilization. The process get more com...
