As I said in your other thread, weigh and measure your food.
Then you know how much you'll be eating and can stay on track.
No need to cut anything out of your diet, moderation is key.0 -
700 calories for bread? I use Udi's and 2 slices are 150 calories….

Two slices of Old Mill wheat bread are 130 calories. So 700 calories is more than 10 slices worth.

Going gluten or lactose free does you no benefit if you don't have an issue ..they are not innately unhealthy
And the products that they make to replace them tend to be higher in fat / calories and make it harder to lose weight not easier
But if it works for you good luck
If not you could just try counting calories at a defecit
Eg A big slice of white farmhouse bread is a delicious 105 calories0 -

Every single person I know who has Celiac (and probably about 80% of the individuals in the Celiac group I am in on Facebook) is also lactose intolerant. With Celiac, comes other food allergies and other medical conditions in general.
Straight from WebMD and MayoClinic:
"Avoid milk and other dairy products that contain lactose. Untreated patients with celiac disease often are lactose intolerant. With successful treatment, dairy products can often be reintroduced slowly into the diet later."
"Lactose intolerance. Damage to your small intestine may cause you to experience abdominal pain and diarrhea after eating lactose-containing dairy products, even though they don't contain gluten. Once your intestine has healed, you may be able to tolerate dairy products again. However, some people continue to experience lactose intolerance despite successful management of celiac disease."

A gluten-free diet isn't better for you unless you have Celiac, a gluten allergy, or other medical conditions that are exacerbated by gluten.0 -

She is diabetic though, which sometimes can go hand in hand too
Either way, don't envy her one bit.

Try eating Ezekiel bread... it will be in the grocery store freezer. Keep it in the freezer at home. It spoils quicker than other bread as it has no presevatives - gluten free as well0

Sorry I didn't mean that those diagnosed with celiac weren't more prone to issues with other food groups, just that without a diagnosed condition it is not actually that common
People see gluten or dairy free and think healthy when actually that's not true without the actual allergy / medical issues there's no need to cut gluten or lactose0 -

And I'm willing to bet 95% of the people in that group are not Celiac since only 1% of the population is actually Celiac...

Agreed! I am both gluten and dairy free (lactose intolerant and I have Crohn's which for me, is exacerbated by gluten). I'll tell ya, it's not fun! Fortunately there are alternatives like So Delicious dairy free ice cream…. Yum
