      Hi Katherine! I’m here if you need any support with making the switch to gluten-free. It is definitely a hard transition to make on your own.
      Please let me know if you have any specific questions I can help you with. Be sure to check out the other videos on my channel as well. Wishing you the best! 😊💕

    You talk about crying in a restaurant your first time eating out after diagnosis. I cried on my first trip to the grocery store. Just reminiscing on the stuff I could no longer eat (chicken burgers/fingers and french fries from a Legion Hall before Darts, no more Godfather Pizza, no more "Chinese" food). Also, I was feeling the effects of the added cost on my pocketbook. It felt awful.

    • @robynsglutenfreeliving
      @robynsglutenfreeliving  3 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      Yes to all of that! I think that realizing you can't eat some of your favourite foods ever again is one of the hardest things to cope with. (Mind you, it's not necessarily true because there are so many great alternatives now-but giving up specific restaurants is tough.)
      I didn't get into the details in the video, but I ate at a vegan restaurant that was known for "chick'n & waffles" and basically all fried food. The only thing I could eat there was some TVP (textured vegetable protein) and rice, and it was probably the worst thing I've ever eaten. I was so scared that was what all my future dining experiences would be.
      Oh, and I also cried after my boyfriend and I had this amazing dining experience (it was like 8 courses), and there was a 5-year aged sourdough bread with browned butter (drooling) that I couldn't eat. And I couldn't have the dessert. That was 2 weeks after my diagnosis, and I was so tempted to cheat (but my boyfriend wouldn't let me... haha). It was definitely rough, but I'm used to it now! 😊

      I cried at the second my doctor said in the office. Because I'm already on a restricted diet due to other allergies and her words have basically eliminated a huge portion of the remaining "safe foods" from my culture. And I'm already struggling socially with my family who said I bastardized traditional dishes by subbing seeds for nuts or mushrooms for tofu etc. And gives them more fuel to say why I'm not marriage material. And my doctor is no help. Plus my panic at the supermarket in the gluten aisle is so high that I just don't buy anything because it is next to all that almond containing foods.

      If you think as food as living food cooked by the sun it is easier to accept. We should really only eat foods as they are grown. In the natural state or juice them. When you look at all the foods grown on trees or in the garden it is plenty. The importance of chewing and getting the saliva glands going is very healthy for our bodies.

    I found out two years ago that gluten makes me very inflamed. The inflammation response was wild. It caused eczema, worsened my hashimotos, affected my fertility, and I generally was just always feeling yucky. It has been a hard transition for me as I was living in denial for a while. Just finally committed a few months ago and sometimes I really miss when I was pretending gluten didn't hurt me. Haha! Living in a small, rural town makes it super difficult, but Azure Standard delivers monthly and they have a million GF options! This was an extremely helpful video!

    Very helpful and positive attitude this video offers to sufferers of the condition, an energetic approach to embarking on what can be a stressful and difficult task in managing your own day to day plan consuming foods that are both a basic need to live and at same time require specific attention in order to keep away from problems. I recently learned that gluten free helps with other gut conditions that are linked to skin / immune systems that can help reduce psoriasis for example. Also I find gluten free breads to have starkly reduced acid reflux compared to eating ordinary bread. Thank you for this helpful and valuable presentation and happy positive approach to facing it head on.

      I do have some questions:
      . How long does it take to get transitioned? Im reading everything I can get my hands on, and I love your helpful videos.
      Yesterday I found an app that allows me to scan the bar codes of food. How accurate do you find those to be?

    • @robynsglutenfreeliving
      @robynsglutenfreeliving  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      For how long it takes to transition to a gluten-free diet: it really just depends on how quickly you want to make the change! For me, from the moment I got diagnosed, I didn't eat anything else with gluten and I purged my kitchen. I've also heard of other people having a last meal with some of their favourite foods, though!
      If what you mean is how long until you feel better, that also varies person to person. It depends a lot on how much damage there is. For me, I think it took several weeks to start noticing a difference, and about a year until everything felt "normal". For a lot of people, it can take 1-2 years for the damage to heal completely.
      When it comes to apps, I personally haven't used them! They may be helpful though-but you need to make sure that it's based on where you live! I'm also not sure if every product out there would be listed on the app, so you may turn down certain items in the grocery store that were actually safe to eat.
      I think that in the long term, the best thing to do would be to learn how to read labels and what you need to keep an eye out for. Be sure to look into official sources for this, rather than blogs, as there is a lot of misinformation out there about what is safe and what isn't. The regulations are also different depending on where you live.
      I hope this helps! 😊

    I tried once and they weren't that supportive or they don't believe I'm sick even the doctors but going gluten free is one of the only options I have and I wish there was more support and guidance 😥😭
    Hopefully I can feel better once I stick with it. The holidays will be tough and eating out. Thank you for your video and channel! I don't have celiac but I can imagine that is much worse. Praying for all of us trying to go gluten free and for this community here 🙏❤💕

    Before I went gluten free I had heard family and friends saying how they are gluten free but it was only after the effects of gluten got too much to handle and I hated to eat anything (during a period where I couldn’t do more intense exercise for a couple of months) that I finally just gave up gluten out of desperation. I then realised that most of the people who had been saying they were gluten free, weren’t really. In fact some of them seem to eat barely anything gluten free and it’s probably only when I wam around that they try a bit harder.
    A couple of years later I feel much better but feel like I might have to tighten my non-gluten eating to be a lot more strict. I don’t really crave most of that gluten stuff because I just think about how it would make me feel. The only thing I crave is more freedom and cost effectiveness in my eating choices instead of eating many of the same things repeatedly or having to study something for 20mins just to have lunch.

    I was dealing with stomach and pelvic pain for months, but they couldn’t find out what was wrong with me. I cut gluten out of my diet and immediately started feeling better. Unfortunately, though, I’m dealing with so much fatigue, and just generally feeling off… I guess my body is just adjusting, it hasn’t even been a week yet. But it makes me really sad that I can’t eat things that I really enjoyed anymore… Most of my diet was grains, the majority of it. I cried today because my mom made my favorite dish, something without gluten in it, but today she just so happened to add chicken broth to it… And it had gluten in it, so I couldn’t have any of it. It’s been pretty hard, especially because I’m not the biggest cook.

    I’m in the US and have been gluten free since 2007 due to celiac, and you can claim gluten free expenses on your taxes, but it’s a lot of work. There are a lot of restaurants that have gluten free menu’s that shouldn’t be labeled as gluten free, because they cater to those who just do gluten free for weight loss they don’t worry about cross contamination, so the food is gluten friendly not actually gluten free in the US and I would rather cook at home and be safe, then eat in a restaurant where there’s a risk of cross contamination I’ve been sick to many times from eating at restaurants and most places I’ve been to, the staff finds it bothersome to answer my questions about gluten.

    Hi robin...
    Tx sooo much for your videos!!
    I'm new to the party..
    Marc here from Montreal, newly diagnosed celiac, fifty one year old male and i have two questions.
    The first question, do any of your videos mention Spices? Seems like some are not.safe.
    And, anti inflammatory medications... which ones do avoid and which ones are safe?
    Second question...i am currently transitioning...family of 4.
    Do I really need to wash everything in the kitchen And the pantry until all is spic and span??
    A celiac friend.did say to move flour out of the pantry as part of the transition...? i havent had belly pains, nausea, etc..ever...is it because i haven't been off gluten long enough to react violently?
    Im looking fwd to being less tired, and having normal bowel movements etc...but am hoping ill be less sensitive than most.(wishful thinking?)
    My main indicator was am anti-transglutaminase of 161, which is what prompted further investigation..
    And here i am...transitioning...
    Fyi- I was at a Tim's drive-thru with my daughter last week...asked if they had glutenfree-anything...aaaand, they do not..so i got a coffee amd watched my daughter eat her crispy chicken wrap ...
    So i will be writing to the head honcho soon..
    Thx again for your great videos!!
    Cheers
    .

      Panko is usually made of wheat, but you can find gluten-free Panko! If it's in a restaurant though, it's pretty much always going to have wheat (unless you're in a gluten-free restaurant).
      For local suggestions (Canada), I'd highly recommend joining the Canadian Celiac Association Facebook group. I think it's the best place to find out about restaurants or products in your area.

      Most things are gluten free just cook meat and veg rice potato based meals and make your own sticks from chicken roasts! Real food is gluten free and just watch out for maltodextrin and malt syrups. Anything malt. Rice flours almond meal for baking muffins and for bread you want a lot more fat to prevent crumbling if you make yourself. I personally think I am allergic to yeast and gluten yeast definitely causes me issues too.

    What if you want to remove gluten from your diet because of a thyroid disease. Do you have to be as strict as someone with celiac.

I'm hoping taking out there big offenders and not worrying about cross contamination will be suffice. Now, if I had celiac...I'd definitely have my own toaster. Anyone???

      In Canada, they are not allowed to be labelled gluten-free as they aren’t made with the gluten-free oats. In the U.S., they are labelled gluten-free because they have different labelling laws (they have a sorting process that is supposed to remove the gluten). Personally, I would avoid them even if I purchased them in the U.S., but everyone has different comfort levels around this. Hope this helps!
