Guest guest Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Hi, tesco sell GF oats in the free from section. I have GF cornflakes with hemp or almond milk & xylitol. I did used to have GF toast but am trying to avoid anything with yeast now! Good luck. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Sainsbury's do one in the 'free from' section. It's about £2.99 for a very small bag though! Unless you're a vegetarian, how about bacon, egg and tomato, or if in a hurry, just scrambled eggs, I've got it down to a fine art, just needs preparation Jackie x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Asda do gluten free porridge in the Free from section. I bought some and made them up for breakfast. I then threw them and the remainder of the box in the bin, They were truly awful and tasted worse than cardboard. If I'm a tearing hury, I opt for rice pudding for breakfast now... x > > Hi, does anyone know who makes/sells gluten free oats in the UK please?

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 , that's really funny! I'll definately have to avoid Asda porridge then! The rice pudding is a good idea for a change; didn't think of that one! W x > I bought some and made them up for breakfast.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 Hi You can have bacon and eggs! Bacon from the butcher though I think is more likely to be GF. Gluten free sausages from Waitrose are nice too. Fruit? Gluten free crackers with different toppings. Margaret > > Hi, does anyone know who makes/sells gluten free oats in the UK please?

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 I totally agree, good move, well done. I've been researching gluten since 1984 when I discovered gluten was making me ill. I even developed arthritis but once I took gluten out of my diet, it went away! If I accidentally get glutened, my joints flare up. Basically gluten can cause inflammation in the body and brain as well as the gut..... now that's a problem? Just google " gluten and dementia or gluten and " ...... " fill in the blank, you'll be quite surprised what illnesses it causes. Here's an interesting link talking about the so-called gluten-free foods made with corn (which incidentally also contains gluten): http://www.glutenfreesociety.org/wp-content/uploads/Dr-Rodney-Ford-Interview-2010.pdf Keep reading up on gluten and you'll do yourself and your family a big, big favour We're all gluten (and dairy) free and so much better for it Jackie x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 Those artificial sweeteners are highly toxic poisonous compounds and can cause nerve damage and best avoided by everyone Yet they put them in all sorts of low fat foods to make them taste better. So glad your dog is ok Mo ! And yeah I think the gf oat thing is a bit of a con too, I can't eat any type of oats because they, despite what we are told, contain gluten.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 Hi JackieI agree about artificial sweeteners - a couple of years ago I as getting severe stomach irritation - like I was starving hungry and it only went ff when I ate a lot. A friend who is a nurse practitioner said do you use sweeteners and I did - splenda - she suggested I stop and it went away - a few days later forgot and brought me a cuppa with half a sweetener in, and being first thing in the morning I didnt realise and drank it - within an hour the hunger pain was back.do a search for problems with splenda and and there is lots of frightening info.I seem to be ok with corn and rice though I have gluten neuropathy and gliadin antibodies - probably the cause of my hypot.Gill Those artificial sweeteners are highly toxic poisonous compounds and can cause nerve damage and best avoided by everyone Yet they put them in all sorts of low fat foods to make them taste better.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 Hi Gill I remember years and years ago, must have been the 70's, watching a programme where they were testing the 'new' sweeteners on rats. After a few days when a rat would inevitably die, it was taken out of the cage and replaced with another one!!! What sort of experiment was that??? I avoid as many manufactured foods as possible Have you still got your neuropathy as it would be interesting to see if you cut out corn altogether for a week or so if it disappeared? Dr Osborne is at the cutting edge with gluten saying corn has gluten when we've been told for years that it hasn't! Its like most things in the medical world, it takes time to filter through our 'narrow minded' medical system, who don't like to admit they were wrong. I could write a book about my experiences with them over the years http://www.glutenfreesociety.org/gluten-free-society-blog/gluten-in-the-diet-triggers-many-neurological-problems/ Best wishes.

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 > You can sweeten with stevia extract from iHerb.com, stay away from the other stuff that gives you the runs and poisons your animals ie I wish I could remember what it is called LOL... Xylitol, nearly killed my dog when he nobbled some buns I had cooling on the cooker top. > Vet had to call Poison Control and said it was lucky he is a big fella and that he did not have a teaspoon more or her would have been past tense. > > Mo Yes Mo, Xylitol is very toxic to dogs & I wish manufacturers would label this clearly. The " Pure & Sweet " Xylitol that I have just says " For human consumption only! " This does not explain clearly that the product is toxic to dogs, and if you had seen such a warning then hopefully your dog would not have been put in danger. I do use xylitol, but I keep it stored in a high cupboard well out of reach of my dogs and I never, ever leave anything with xylitol in where they might reach it. Having said all that, just because Xylitol is harmful to dogs, it does not mean that humans can't eat it! Dogs can also be killed by consuming dark chocolate and raisins but we don't all avoid those? Xylitol is usually made from Birch or Corn and it is not the same as those awful artifical sweeteners such as Saccharin, Aspartame etc. I think the name " Xylitol " doesn't do it any favours as it sounds very artificial Xylitol is also good for dental health and can help those with candida as yeast cannot feed on it. It can give you diarrhea if you eat too much of it but so do many things if eaten in excess! I find you only need a small amount compared to sugar. I tried stevia but I couldn't bear the strange after-taste plus even tiny amounts upset my stomach. I don't use a lot of Xylitol, but I wouldn't want people to rule it out or lump it together with the likes of Aspartame. If you can use stevia then that's great, but Xylitol is an option there for those of us who can't tolerate Stevia and for those of us battling candida. Just use with care and keep it out of reach of your dogs! x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
