gluten free diet information

I follow a gluten free diet. I have celiac disease. So far it hasn't been easy. I used to pretty much live on tuna fish and lunch meat and now I can't have either. I'm afraid I won't get the nutrients my baby and myself need but I am trying. Luckily many grocery stores around me carry gluten free foods and there is a strict gluten free/dairy free/vegan bakery close by if I get a sweet tooth.

Is it possible/ recommended to do a gluten free diet crossed with a calorie controlled diet? I was thinking of cutting carbs also but if I have to have them they have to be gluten free? Is that recommended ? Or is there any other way to do it?

My doctor has told me I need to move to a gluten-free diet....yikes!!! All my life (and that is a very long time--ha ha) I have generally eaten whatever I wanted to eat. This change to a GF diet seems like such a huge mountain to climb. I know there are many others who have had to change to a GF diet after a lifetime of eating what they wanted with little or no restrictions. How does a person even get started on a change like this? What do you do when you go out to eat at a restaurant?

Has any one had success with a gluten free casine free diet? We are about to try it under the support from an integrated medical doctor and dietitian. Does any one have any good result stories or otherwise?

My mother has been diagnosed with hashimoto. I was wondering if anyone has been on a gluten free diet with hashimoto and what effect it has had. Mum's doctor suggested to try the diet.

I try to always be 'glutton free' but I just love food so much! ;p I think you mean gluten free. I'm not sure what you've been reading, but I've not found anything that passes the 'sniff-test' for me research wise. A healthy diet is good for everyone. But unless someone has celiac disease or something similar, I see no compelling reason to favour this approach.

As key ingredients are essential in a normal diet, which a gluten free diet lacks, e.g. fibre etc causing great complications. Otherwise if you have to, make sure to eat lots of kiwi fruit, dried apricots, prunes, anything high in fibre.

Were your Free T4 and Free T3 levels tested, along with the TSH? If you could post your actual test results, it would be very helpful for us to see where you are. Be sure to post reference ranges with any lab results posted. Has your doctor prescribed a replacement medication for you? If so, which one and what dosage? The cruciferous vegetables you mentioned are considered goitrogens and are food that inhibit synthesis of thyroid hormones.

Imagine a life in which your favorite comfort foods, such as pasta, bread, cereal and cookies, could cause you to become violently ill. This is reality for an estimated 3 million Americans who have been diagnosed with celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder that involves a severe reaction to foods containing gluten. Growing awareness of the condition, combined with consumer demand, has brought an increasing number of gluten-free products to store shelves in recent years.

As far as I can tell, no. If there is, the proponents of a g/f diet have certainly kept the hard science a secret. Many people feel better g/f. If it makes you feel better, then it's definitely worth doing. However, if you're doing it in hopes of "curing" Hashi's, I suspect you might be very disappointed. Many of us have not changed our diets at all. I went g/f for almost a year a few years ago (for reasons other than my Hashi's)...

I have done some reading online about diets and endometriosis and was wondering if anyone has any advice or further information relating to this. I have found that a gluten free diet has made a difference with the pain and try to avoid too many dairy products and preservative rich foods. Any advice or suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I decided I wanted to feel better and was willing to try a gluten free diet. I have never been tested for CD, but I noticed I felt better being gluten free. Every time I cheat I don't feel so good. I don't have many of the digestive issues, but I feel sluggish, achy, have more allergies, and bloated. It's amazing all the info I've found online. I've even read that some people think gluten can trigger Graves'.

It is important to include a wide variety of gluten free cereal products in a Gluten Free diet. This can be as simple as adding small amounts of soy, potato flour or rice bran to a dish. These are important sources of fibre, B group vitamins, zinc and increase the variety of the diet. Soymilk and soybean oil is not a by-product of gluten.

I'm curious as to whether or not the casein and gluten-free diet is one that needs to be adhered to for the entirety of a person's life who has autism and has found it to help? What happens if my son's autism improves because of this diet but he goes back to consuming casein and gluten some day? Will his autistic symptoms reappear or have they been cured?

you should be following a gluten-free diet for life. Even a small amount of gluten can cause problems and result in damage to the small intestine. The good news is that following a gluten-free diet can greatly improve and may even completely resolve symptoms, heal existing intestinal damage and prevent further problems. You can go gluten-free by avoiding all foods containing wheat, oats, barley and rye. Also read labels carefully - gluten can turn up in cold cuts, soups, candies and soy sauce.

hi i was thinking of trying a gluten free diet to see if it helps ease my symptoms does anybody know what kind of foods i could buy

//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluten_sensitivity gives all the details of gluten sensitivity. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluten-free_diet gives all possible available gluten free diets. However a word of caution; Please see a physician for his problems. He could also be suffering from Celiac disease, ulcerative colitis or any other form of irritable bowel disease. The symptoms of all these match with that your boyfriend. Please refer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coeliac_disease http://en.wikipedia.

One of my friends has her son on the Gluten Free diet and she thinks he has been calmer. Her son is severely autistic and at 19, wears protective underclothing and is non-verbal. He used to lash out more than he does now & she attributes that to his change in diet and the therapy he is getting to stimulate him.

( but thank you so much - during my elimination diet trial last month the parents bought me some gluten free waffles (with soy) and I was soooo sick for 4 days straight! Finally an answer! So yeah good chance there's something else wrong but thank you for that information that's basically what I needed, the main groups what to avoid!

They are both autoimmune diseases - separate problems, but people with one autoimmune disease are at risk to develop others.

Well, if you have celiac disease, you will usually have a positive gluten blood test. Other than this you can opt for gluten free diet and see if it helps. Usually, if you have gluten ataxia, there will be some brain (cerebellar) damage, so MRI usually detects brain lesions. Epilepsy like symptoms are seen in individuals who have vitamin B 12 deficiency, have peripheral neuropathy due to diabetes, hypothyroidism, Lyme’s lupus, have neurosyphilis or Friedreich's Ataxia.

It certainly can! Even if you don't have a true allergy and don't have definite Celiac--yes, you can get brain fog from gluten. Particularly if you have gluten intolerance. If you have other issues, such as IBS or if you get migraines or if you have blood type O, you should definitely stay away from gluten. Yep, your blood type matters. I got this information from "Eat Right for Your Blood Type" written by Dr. Peter J. D'Adamo. Glutenology.

Some people with thyroid conditions do much better following gluten free diet. Would be good if you can be tested for celiac. Sometimes celiac and thyroid occur together. Hope this helps. btw, all caps means you are "yelling". Lower case is generally fine and easier for us to read.

t have Celiac, but I have a gluten intolerance and adhere to a gluten-free diet, which has not taken away my FMS/CFS symptoms. Many people with FMS/CFS also have a gluten-intolerance. I think if you strictly adhere to a gluten-free diet, you will find out in time if your symptoms are all Celiac-related.
