Re: How real is the glutten connection?

Diamond brand makes rice and nut flour crackers that are really good.

They have one that is rice and pecan I thought were good.

I skipped the ones with tons of fake flavorings in them. There are

also different brands of rice crackers.

I have not found a gluten free bread that wasn't awful. I usually make

spelt breads but they are not considered officially gluten free so I

would not suggest trying that if your doing a gluten free trial to see

if it helps. I did find the place called Katz Bakery from a friend of

mine. I have not tried it but their items look really good.

www.katzglutenfree.com

There are some gluten free brownie mixes. Either Duncan Hines or Betty

Crocker has a boxed one. I saw them at a Super Target store in with

the regular baking mixes.

Lily,

Oh, that's cool, the brownies,I have to find them. I am unsure of which nuts I've not developed allergies to though, I know almonds and peanuts are out, so the crackers would be risky for me.

I get itching all over if I get the wrong nut components!

The Sesmark brand rice crackers don't have the nuts in them. Most well stocked grocery stores carry them. I think the other brand of just plain rice crackers is Kami brand. in SD

I'll try one of the better more natural based stores soon.

Hi ,

The standard gluten free diet alone is often NOT a magic bullet BUT it often

appears to be an excellent, necessary, and permanent first step toward building

better health. This diet lifestyle uses a lot of gluten-free substitutes that

in themselves are still junk food, and best used sparingly for special

occasions.

According to some researchers, the underlying cause of gluten intolerance

usually focuses on weakened body functions that are not working well, such as

the gut wall, blood brain barrier, and others. This allows molecular substances

such as undigested gluten to slip into places they should not be and cause

trouble all over the body.

It is crucial to heal these body barriers with unprocessed, nutrient dense foods

and extra nutrition. It is important to avoid all toxins that contribute to

body tissue deterioration and other deficiency issues. We should address deeper

causes of gluten sensitivity and the potential of multiple food sensitivities

and the gloomy consequences. For me, this was addressing soy and dairy along

with wheat/gluten. The underlying cause(s) varies for many of us – you have to

find your own individual causations.

Here are a few studies on gluten and autoimmune disease:

Prevalence of celiac disease in patients with autoimmune thyroiditis.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18091661

Celiac disease and autoimmune thyroid disease.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18056028

Coeliac disease in patients with autoimmune thyroiditis.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11549838

Reliance on serum endomysial antibody testing underestimates the true prevalence

of coeliac disease by one fifth.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10720117

Combination testing for antibodies in the diagnosis of coeliac disease:

comparison of multiplex immunoassay and ELISA methods.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19145736

Also, read, " Healthier Without Wheat " by Dr. Wangen.

Also often the immune system is thought to be in a hypersensitive mode and needs

to be " quieted down " so it does not overreact to normal life exposures.

Best,

Thanks, yes, I'm in the middle of that. It can be confusing at times, thanks for being here.
