Isi's Gluten Free Living & Lifestyle

Hi all, seems there is a real quandary within the Gluten free industry, for want of a better word. Pretty appropriate actually, because quandary's meaning in the dictionary is dilemma, or state of being unsure. Without blowing my trumpet I know what is at the root of this appalling condition, and feel angered that it has been let drift without address. I've mentioned before about the web site my son set up for me and once again urge you to take a peep. Gluten Free Exposed.com

Absolutely free to take a peek, but should you decide to take the next step, and become a certified member of Isi's Gluten Free group, you will be in for heaps of health information that will assist in the repairing of our damagaed villi that line our intestines, plus the name of the only known herb that was sent from above it seems, to heal and repair our damaged intestinal walls. And the really GOOD news is, its achieved without drugs. On a financial level, think what you will save on further trips to expensive medicos. Like I said, like it or not we are 'different' , so why not accrue new knowledge that will help improve our damaged body. Choice is yours "Onwards and upwards" is best choice.
If not we will continue slipping down the slippery slope of a damaged digestive system. Please take time to think about what you have just read Bye for now with genuine concern. Fellow Gluten sufferer. Isi

Watch your tooth brushes gluten intolerant people!

Hi GI friends think about this, next time you clean your teeth and pop brush back into same holder as other family members who are gluten eaters. Or horror of horrors, kiss your loved ones after they have finished eating gluten food. Extreme maybe for some, who woud be termed low GI sufferers, but for me I have no choice, but to lift my awareness of areas of gluten infection, or be sick again and again..

Oh happy days, can be if were careful. bye Isi

gluten free expert gets caught out with contamination!

Well folks it happened, here I am pounding the keys about dangers we face when inadvertently eating Gluten, and walked in, (eyes wide open) to a really nasty gluten attack.

It’s because I’m a firm believer in fate, and believe nothing ever happens just by chance that I feel rushed to explain what happened to me thereby hopefully preventing you and many like you becoming as sick I was, just 2 days ago. I still feel bit squeezy but am able to function at a low energy level. Any way this is what you must be aware of buying, in belief it’s a safe food for Celiacs/ GI.

It’s a packet of corn biscuits. On the packet it claims to be organic and wheat gluten free but what I didn’t read in small print was warning that the corn biscuits were made on same equipment as seeds. I know that some Celiac’s claim they can eat millet seeds I’ve always steered clear of them after finding out the hard way that they made me sick. Because of that I’m thinking that seeds were millet seeds I can’t name brand due to legalities involved, but can tell you what it looks like. Its two thirds yellow in colour with an orange base, and made in OZ. So there you are, my only excuse to myself is that I was in a hurry, had quick scan and missed small print. Suppose my message for the day is always read small print.

gluten free easter time behind us

By now Easter is well behind us as we power on to the next reason to celebrate or another religious occasion. Really macabre how our need to accentuate a special time of year is always with food.

Well take Easter for example, right around the globe chocolate factories would have been in seventh heaven, as would bakers of hot cross buns. But not the waists of those indulging in these Easter treats.

Right about now is when we Gluten Intolerant/Celiac sufferers stand away from incredible weight gain by our gluten wheat brethren. And all accrued over a period of only two days. Sure we can try and make our own buns and carefully source a chocolate that is guaranteed not to be made on equipment that may have been contaminated by wheat/gluten

This is really why we GI people should raise our glasses to what was once thought of an adversary but now is the reason why we can stand on the scales after Easter without shrinking back in horror.

Next time you’re shopping check out the waistlines of others in check out queue. In my estimation most of weight gain around the world is due to abuse of easy/ cheap food found in carbohydrates like glutenous breads.

We all remember what that glutinous bread used to taste like don’t we. Really yummy and how different our GF breads are in taste no matter how hard we all try to reach that same taste in gluten bread. I bit like when pursuing a really healthy eating we no longer have that yummy taste factor when cooking free of oil.

Bottom line is choice big time, although due to feeling sick we are made to walk the straight gluten free pathway whether we want to or not . The really GOOD news and one of the fringe benefits no doubt, is a thinner waist line than our gluten eating friends.

Gluten free anti depressants

Hi GI folks. Just thought if depression shifts in from time to time when treading the GF pathway you might like to know (should you visit you GP to see if can help lift the depression with a prescribed drug that it would be wise to go armed with the name of a safe GF drug.

There are probably more but I’ve researched 2 for you to use that are Gluten free.
One is called ZOLOFTI, the other is, SERTRALINE.

Just thought if I were going ‘that’ way I’d like to know which drug was GF. I mean bad enough to be fighting the sleeping dragon called depression.

But then to have it compounded with a drug that then wakes another sleeping dragon called Gluten intolerant is just not on.
Hope this helps those walking that pathway,

gluten intolerance at easter time

EASTER time is when we GI people feel a bit sad, and more than likely not for the religious reason, but sad (some might say even morose) because we can’t celebrate Easter Sunday, with the traditional hot cross bun with lashings of butter and honey.

BUT I do have some good news on that front, because sick of feeling left out when my husband gleefully toasted his buns for breakfast I determined to make my own Gf buns and it worked. I’ve added it to my cook book, but can tell you here that basically it’s a matter of using packet Gf bread mixture, along with a bit of ingenuity I gleaned from my master baker father when he was alive.

I have to say it was worth the effort, as they toasted beautifully. Feeling rather jubilant I then proceeded to make up a batch of GF bread rolls which I ate last night. Once a week in our house we enjoy naughty but nice food, and tofu hamburgers is our weak point.

But like the hot cross buns I usually have to make do with 2 slices of GF bread instead of the REAL hamburger rolls my husband enjoys. Not so last night this time my hamburger looked like his. A REAL PLUS for GI people I must say.

Bye for now Isi Keller.

Gluten allergy symptoms

Winters coming down south in Oz land, so usually this is the season for increased visits to GP’s with sore throats etc.

Okay for most I suppose, but what about we GI people. Bad enough feeling as if a bus hit you, blocked up everything, along with a really worrying cough (usually the main reason for antibiotics) > But if you carry GI there’s a fair chance that you could be ingesting Gluten along with it. Low grade is how its rated but anyone who carries a “vigorous “ strong allergy, rather than a “pussycat one” weak, will now be feeling nauseous as well as an all to familiar pain grips your torso.
And certainly an increased weakness though out the entire body. In this case the cure seems worse than the complaint.

This is the reason I’ve researched this problem and tried to come up with a list of antibiotics that ARE gluten free. And will be found on my web site gluten free exposed.
It’s a sixteen-week course and the list will be seen at the six-week mark. Pretty comprehensible too. Bye for now Isi.
