    Ugg this seems to have thrown me back years with some exceptions. I can not eat tough meats anymore (again) I tried brisket for my birthday, trimmed lean 7 Hours Smoked, 6 hours wrapped and low temp baked in some extra water to keep it moist...still pieces not digested and coming up 7 hours later. I then tried taking it and pressure cooking it wrapped in...

    Well this year for Christmas we are doing something different, past I always hosted..and well some family issues meant my family generally either skipped or came a few days later to eat. This year my parents are finally having Christmas dinner on Christmas day with some other members (Emotional times with family deaths meant the last 5 years there has...

    @anasss Perhaps you should start another thread in say the Leaky gut and food intolerance area? I am myself have Celiac and UC, and when I started eating meats again recently I found I felt better on Grass Fed Longhorn from a local farmer and other grass fed beef. There is a inflammatory issue with grain fed and couped up animals and it even effects the omega...

    This is great advice, my mother and grand mother (both Hispanic) always would get the freshest ones and dip in the sauce before rolling. When reheating it varied with tortillas on freshness (and how much of a hurry) but they either heated them straight on the stove burner or a tortilla warmer. If they were not as fresh they wrapped them in a lightly damp...

    Connie gave some good advice, the dairy issue is very common as the enzymes to break it down come from the villi which celiac disease destroys, Oats, 10% of celiacs react just the same and most oats are contaminated anyway. Here is some info on keeping a food diary that might help. https://www.wikihow.com/Keep-a-Food-Diary The elimination diet and going...

    Well since I froze half my thanksgiving dressing in silicone ice cube trays I have ton of 1oz dressing cubes in the freezer, what to do. Dressing and Breakfast Sausage Waffles. I took 4 cubes defrosted overnight and this morning browned 2 oz of breakfast sausage (I would do 4 next time) set aside, in a food processor mixed dressing, 2 eggs, 1/2 tsp baking...

    Now some places say 8 weeks so you could shoot for that? 12 weeks used to be the normal for testing and many still consider this to be true. OR you might try just going for the scope and biopsy, much more expensive but only a 2 week challenge. Some of the biggest benefits to having it officially on your charts would be if you get in a accident and...

    The blood test are used for initial screening while the endoscope with biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosis, there are several blood test they can do, do you know what test where done and can you post results? https://celiac.org/about-celiac-disease/screening-and-diagnosis/screening/ https://celiac.org/about-celiac-disease/screening-and-diagnosis...

    And Gluten Ataxia with it >.< Took over 5 years for me to gain much of my feeling back in the tips of my fingers and toes, and regaining my hot/cold sensitivity. Generally I have compensated for most of it over the years, gluten exposures tend to make me start dropping things again, have balance issues, and ataxia can leave me on the floor unable to...

    Yep...heck I feel bad when I learn someone can not eat my food due to nut allergies etc. But simple fact it is a medical condition and out of your hands and not a choice. Let them know you appreciate the effort and compliment the presentation/smell etc and wish you could enjoy it but alas you have Celiac/Food Allergies and not risk eating something that is...

    I was the same, and taking chances with eating out, trusting others, etc often bit me in the butt and left me sick. I was a stubborn and started looking up and experimenting with ways to make everything I wanted gluten free, and safe for me. Funny it ended up turning into a gluten free baking side business that later evolved into me running a paleo based...

    Options I have seen and done Inquire to the menu and inform them you have celiac or food allergies and will bring your own. Enjoy the social aspect but make and bring your own version for yourself so it seems like your fitting in. Eat before hand and just socialize is another option or just enjoy fruit and drinks. Do be careful of pre-cut fruit where...

Pumpkin Protein Easy to digest, high in vitamins minerals, very mild grit texture. Free of all major Allergens and Hypoallergenic, Known to be rich in minerals...

    To address you concerns on healing...100% gluten free will result in healing that should be your main focus. This is much easier to do with a whole foods only diet and not eating out or eating processed foods. >.< But you will heal faster getting proper nutrients from real meats and veggies then anything processed. Supplementing some nutrients can...

    So after my UC flare issues, I started having allergy issues (assumed a really bad seasonal case) and some random vomiting. Now the vomiting I thought at first was rebound from my constant D issues that resolved with the new RX for the UC. But it is very particular and patterned with food intake, looking at my food diary I am now assuming a new food sensitivity...

    Just be sure he keeps eating gluten daily for the testing at least 2 slices of bread. The blood testing requires this for 8-12 weeks to be accurate and the scope with biopsies from the GI will need this for 2 weeks.

    It is not in ALL broths, there are a few that do not have the yeast extract oddly very few and it pissed me off every time I go to the store. I oddly found a Swanson Unsalted Cooking Stock this year...quite bland lacking any seasonings, flavorings etc. I used to use Pacific Foods STOCK (The broth has yeast extract), or this one Kitchen Basics (The chicken...

    No worries if you bring your own food to be cooked that way. I would oversee them cooking your food if they are fixing it. No offense but I would not trust my own mother to cook me a gluten free meal (I would trust a fellow celiac). Who is to know if they used flour (air borne for hours settles on everything) in the kitchen, or know the precautions of having...

    Found these options if you want to look stuff up, I think this was brought up a few years ago. The "Instant Ramen Cup" concept of taking measured amounts of freeze dried meats and veggies putting in a cup and adding hot water to make instant soups/stews etc. Few companies have chilis, Beef bowls, etc already packed, here are some ideas. Thrivelife has freeze...

    Have you had your vitamin and mineral levels checked? For me Magnesium was a huge issue that left many issues with leg pain, cramping, and a burning sensation that would travel over parts of my body. Many gluten foods are sprayed with vitamins (enriched) so going gluten free and eating gluten free foods can make issues with nutrient absorption more apparent...

    Yeah the endoscope and biopsies requires you to be eating gluten for 2 weeks prior. Sounds a bit expensive where you are assuming it is not covered by insurance. Try talking with your doctor, some will put it down officially in your records on blood test and improvement on the gluten free diet alone. This will come in handy say if your hospitalized, or worse...

    Honestly, sounds like when I get my macros wrong or under eat, technically I am supposed to eat 1800 to cut on my old 140lb build, and sometimes while bulking or matinenice period I find at the end of the day I am under that in my fitbit app after entering my meals then the workouts and walking throw me several thousand calories off. I am also a keto dieter...

    I used to get and feel sick a lot, I think the perspective of a army (your immune system) is tired and worn out always fighting and focusing on your intestines. I know since going gluten free I rarely get sick from germs...now days just mostly allergies, food intolerance, and other AI issues. As mentioned by cycling lady it could be vitamins and nutrient...

    There are a few other options Siete Foods makes grain free gluten free chips. I think other companies make rice versions and I know Beanitos used to make some.
