  1. This article says: You may be splurging on (or spending extra effort to track down) alt-pastas and grain-free bread, but all that legwork could be for nothing: Gluten might still be hiding in your food. “Maltodextrin, MSG, and hydrolyzed vegetable proteins are all derivatives of it,” Lockwood explains. is this true?
  2. I agree with emma6. Did you get the full panel of celiac blood work done? If not, run to the doc and get your blood drawn.
  3. Sounds great. going to try with rice flour, and garlic and onion powder for pizza base. thank you!
  4. You might decide for awhile not to eat out at all..... check the Find Me gluten-free app and if you must, go only to places well reviewed by celiacs. You've got to take care of yourself!
  5. I too have the sd and have not seen relief from it after being gluten-free for 9 years. It has gotten better, but never quite goes away. I think there are some others who have the same issue. It may be more linked to milk products, cow milk specifically. I gave up cow milk for the first year being gluten-free as I couldn't tolerate it. I still use ketaconozole...
  6. Emma, please post falafel recipe! And how you eat it ! I've been searching for a good recipe for a long time.
  7. Just looked up The Who findings and found a ton of links backing this up from 2015. Here's one from Harvard https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/2015/11/03/report-says-eating-processed-meat-is-carcinogenic-understanding-the-findings/
  8. I talked myself into thinking the mask was a fancy spa treatment. It worked for me, but at that time I had no trouble falling asleep at all. Now I have to take a trazadone to fall asleep as I'm under so much stress and I'd stay up all night worrying.
  9. If you love cats, check out http://kattarshians.is/ its a website live streamed from Iceland where they show groups of foster kittens 24/7 .... sleeping, fighting and eating. They live ina big dollhouse complete with bunk beds. There's 4 cameras , one for each area of the house. They just got the last batch of gingers adopted, and the new family...
  10. Honestly I don't recall. It was all around the same time. I got off gluten first and then had the sleep study, I think in that order. The apnea was my number 1 problem related to brain fog as I was sooooo sleepy all the time. I don't think in my adult life I ever made it thru a movie without falling asleep. Bit in 2008 I was totally on my own and didn't know...
  11. I'll hit the sleep apnea part. I used to be really foggy headed and tired , had the sleep study and was found to have severe sleep apnea. The Cpap is super easy to use and fixed me right up. I no longer get so tired I shouldn't drive. Still a bit foggy but I think that's just me. There's nothing to lose to do the sleep study. It's the cost of an office visit...
  12. I can't recall how long mine took to go away, but it was too long! One day you'll notice it goes flat and purple, a bit like a bruise. Seems like it will stay that way forever as a scar. Then one day it's more skin colored, until it fades comepletely. Took a number of months for me, but I'm super pale. Certain gluten-free certified foods, like cookies...
  13. Thanks! I've not eaten there in 9 years so I sincerely don't know about what they have that's reliable. Really missing being able to quote....
  14. Do they have reliable gluten-free chicken to put onto the bun?
  15. That sounds horrible! I just stay away from beer, period. Had tried a mouthful of redbridge ages ago and spit it out, tasted so bad. I've just gotten out of the habit of drinking completely.
  16. This happened to me, and I thought it was worms. I almost died with worry. Went to the doc with a sample and he said sometimes stuff just sloughs off and there wasn't anything to be concerned about.
  17. My dh looked a lot like yours. It could have been me you took photos of. I got it on my elbows and scratched like crazy too. My biopsy showed dh. My dh didn't go away until I went gluten-free cf for a few months, then for a couple years, the itch, not the rash, was the first sign I had glutened myself. Now I don't even get an itch (I've been gluten-free since...
  18. Try gluten-free tortillas or corn tortillas. I'm not wild about any bread I've tried and frankly can't afford it anyways. My husband makes me a quesadilla and I'm happy
  19. Try posting this as a separate topic. This is a discussion of sleep apnea which is different than your friend's problem.
  20. I used to completely flip out on gluten. I would pick a fight with my loved ones. I would know I was doing it but be unable to stop. I think it was my first symptom something was wrong with me. Only way to deal with it for myself was to not ingest gluten, as even as an adult, I could not control it. That said, it was particular types of gluten, such as anything...
  21. So exciting! Thanks for doing this!
  22. At least in Caucasian Irish people!
  23. I've got severe sleep apnea, over 60 episodes an hour. Love my Cpap. Gluten hasn't had anything to do with it in my case. (I know this is a very old thread. Posting for new people.)
