While not new to the site, I did fall off the wagon and am restarting my weight loss journey. I've been Gluten free for over 5 years now and would really love some active Gluten Free friends to share the journey with. Please feel free to friend me. :smiley:

    Hi feel free to add me too. Anyone interested in sharing GF recipe ideas that are healthy? I have been GF for approx 5 yrs. problem for me is I don't seem to be able to eat any of the store / restaurant gf foods. I am thinking I might have a problem with the xantham gum.

    Hey there all ... I have been eating GF since 2005 when I finally got a Celiac confirmation via biopsy but have still be struggling with auto immune issues, weight and overall feeling healthy so last week I decided I am going to try a month of totally 'grain free' eating and see if that helps ~ wondering if most of the things labelled 'gluten free' today are just not 'free enough' for my Celiac tolerance.

    It's been just over a week and I have already lost 6 pounds and loving the increased energy and my skin is starting to feel like I no longer want to crawl out of it with such vigour!

    @totallyawake, do you have issues with the gums used in a lot of GF baked goods? that's the obvious one if you are still having issues. Also a lot of people with Celiac disease cannot handle dairy either. Just a thought.

    For years when I went out I would treat myself to some gf food that I wouldn't normally eat and then I would spend the night rolling around in pain. I kept thinking it was contamination at the restaurant. But I am pretty sure now it is the gums in the gf food. It is definitely worth giving them up as a test, along with the dairy as canadjineh suggested.

    please anyone feel free to add me. I have Celiacs and appreciate encouraging friends as I cannot gain weight with my malnutritioned, damaged gut and struggle to eat enough food.

    I just sent requests to you all. It will be nice to have some gluten free friends here on MFP. I have been gf since May of this year when the doctor said it was a necessity.
