Hi! Just getting back onto MFP after a bit of a break. About 3 months ago I discovered I am gluten intolerant, and would love to have some gluten free friends to learn about ways to deal with it, what to eat, and also for support.
Thanks!
Thanks!

I have Celiac, not fun. I usually by 1 loaf of GF bread ( I like Glutino) and freeze since it;s so expensive. I've learned to deal with it by eating lots of protein, vegtables, potatos ( white and sweet) and brown rice. I find that if I try to eat whole foods and I'm usually safe. I get very ill from gluten, I found out I had it after I passed out and they found out I had so little nutrients being absorbed because of the damag to my stomach and I was so anemic I required blood transfusions. My advice it to do a lot of research online, if you haave a pintrest account they always have great GF receipes on there0

Good to read your post -- I've also been taking a break this summer from MFP and discovered while "gone," that I seem to have an intolerance to gluten. I've been a week without now, and do feel better, but wondering how to count calories.... ??? Any tips will be appreciated. :flowerforyou:0

I'm celiac, too (diagnosed 2009). It's different than being intolerant to gluten but neither one is very fun. I am extremely sensitive so I have to be very careful. Not everything that is labeled "gluten-free" is safe - my body can detect well below the supposed 20ppm of gluten that was previously considered 'safe'. If you can tolerate a bit of cross-contamination here and there and the 20ppm range of gluten then it opens up a lot more options for you. For me, if something I eat even passes by a cart with gluten containing foods on it while in the factory, my digestive system will tell me, lol
I'm happy to help with any questions you (or anyone else) has about going gluten-free. I'm not an expert by any means but I've learned a few tricks along the way0 -
I have Celiac disease, I was diagnosed in 2011. Feel free to add me, I also have an open food diary0
