Do you eat whatever you want or do you follow the EFI diet? I know you had good success with the hypno cd's. Can yu eat whatever yu want now?

You onoe posted that I should email you and you could help me with gluten intolerance info because of your mom. You believe you have to eat gluten free if you have gluten antibodies but not celiac? I'll try emailing you again. Thanks

Yes, I do eat whatever I want. However, it is very healthy. I just don't eat junk. Yes, too to the fact that the hypnos helped me tremendously.

It has been a long and hard road with Mom, but she is adapting. I have not been tested, but should be. I just haven't had the time. The doc at University of MD was a great source of updated, current info on celiac and also sensitivity. And I don't say that about many docs.

Cyndy, I will check the email.

Mom has celiac. It was not dx'd till very late in her life. Much damage has already been done, but we do our best for her.

No, I don't eat processed food at all. Too many additives and names I cannot pronounce. If I have sweets it is a small, good quality piece of dark chocolate. I have green smoothies that taste like a blueberry or banana milkshake daily. If I go into the office, I pack a bag of snacks I like and a light, small lunch. I eat about 5-6 small meals a day. I still do bloat on occasion, mainly when I am anxious or stressed, and the small meals help. I make my own muffins that I may have for breakfast. I eat vegetarian so you know what that's about.

If I am out and unprepared and famished, then I will buy something I think will do the least damage. As when Mom was rushed to the hospital at 2am in the morning, of course I was not prepared. I just did the best I could in the hospital cafeteria.

What I think you need to do is stick with an eating plan for a period of time to see if it is helping you or not. Also, I would keep a food diary.

what is in your bag of snacks, if no processed foods? What is considered a processed food?

What do you eat all day? And what is a green smoothie? Or is that recipe posted someplace already?

I don't have celiac so maybe my gluten antibodies don't mean I need to eat gluten. I don't know.

Calm down a little bit here. My bag of snacks can include a homemade muffin, a veggie sandwich in a pita pocket, a thermos of homemade soup, sourdough bread with jam, nuts/seeds, etc. I mix it up every day, but most days I work from home so I can make what I want.

I guess when you think about it, most foods are processed somewhat, unless they come straight from the ground into your mouth. I don't eat foods with ingredients a mile long with names I cannot pronounce. I keep it very fresh.

I posted about the green smoothie before. I usually have some kind of greens, a banana, blueberries, sometimes flax seed, and rice milk. I use a NutriBullet, so it is finely ground up almost to a juice. It is very digestible.

Did you speak to your doc about the celiac? That would be a place to start.
