Guest guest Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 If you are going to eat a gluten free diet (and I think you should with the things you've battled with your digestion) you cannot eat wheat bread. Your choices in bread would be few. Rice bread is about it, but Sami's bakery makes a Millet and Flax bread that is outstanding and most like regular sandwich bread. It is sometimes hard to find, especially on the West coast, but many health food stores carry it on the East coast. www.samisbakery.com I used to love bread, but I rarely eat it now. I really should not eat it at all, but I cannot find Sami's Millet and Flax here, and the rice bread is icky. Very gummy and gross. You can find gluten free tortillas that are good for making wraps and these take the place of sandwich bread beautifully. You just roll up your sandwich instead. If anyone is battling candida issues, I think it is also wise to go completely gluten free, as there is some concern that candida triggers celiac disease, which I recently re-posted about.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 I need to look more in to the gluten free diet - but is gluten specifically bread? Sorry, I am clueless when it comes to cooking and food. I know sugar is out, also refined and processed foods but I am not sure what gluten is? Lynn Re: Patty, Rogene ???

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Lynn, Hopefully you've read the excellent links Dede sent...gluten is not only in breads, but it is in many other things, which can sneak up on you. So, it's a little tricky. Basically, it is in anything made with certain flours (wheat, rye, barley and others). That cuts out alot of packaged foods.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Lynn, Gluten is what's in many grains. The most popular source of gluten is Wheat! . . . Not all grain has gluten . . . Rice is a grain without gluten. There are few gluten-free breads. You'll find gluten-free bread in a specialty food store or section. It will clearly state it is "Gluten-free" on the label. Here's a website where you can ask questions about what's good to eat http://dfwceliac.org/ . . . It's run by a dear friend! Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Sandy, I would take probiotics but wait about 2 hours apart after taking the Vfend. I am doing that now .. I have a big headache but I know its working to my advantage. Nac is a amino Acid vitamin that I take to help support the liver and you can get it on www.vitacost.com I know its confusing sandy I just found this out also. That while on antifungals it is best to drink Kefir and take probiotics to get in there and fight the baddies. Love In a message dated 4/11/2008 12:07:59 P.M.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Sandy,If you've been taking antifungals for some time, it's time to quit taking those and start concentrating on probiotics.Look at it this way . . . Fungus is the enemy . . Antifungals are the soldiers who kill off the enemy . . . Probiotics are your friends . . . When you have enough friends around you, they'll keep the enemy away.Hugs,Rogene Patty, Rogene ??? , Patty Rogene what is NAC ?
