Celiac Disease Going Gluten Free Not enough, still sick!

If you have celiac disease, have gone gluten free and still feel sick I think you should try putting yourself on the GAPS diet or SCD diet.  It is temporary and helps heal the gut.  The leaky gut syndrome is caused by the food leaking out of the holes in your intestines (caused by celiac spur) and going into your blood supply.  You may have these holes.  I am not sure, but this may be worth a shot and it is all natural approach without pills.  Sounds great to me.

Substitute for Xanthum Gum | Chia Seeds and Flax Seeds

Since I am baking Gluten Free foods now due to having a celiac in the family I just can't get over the disgusting taste of Xanthum gum.  I know in most recipes it is such a minimal amount of xanthum gum used, but I hate it and it makes my stomach feel weird.  The more I read about xanthum gum the more I feel uneasy about it.  The fact is mostly like the xanthum gum is being created from some form of High Fructose Corn Syrup.  I am not ok with that!  We do not eat HFC and even my 6 year old goes around telling people we don't eat high fructose corn syrup :)

Anyways I was so happy to find this blog tonight: http://glutenfreegirl.com/chia-seeds-and-flaxseeds/

This is much more natural.  So excited to try it!
