Good luck Lin. I know when my mother had Ross River, someone suggested a wheat-free diet for her, and she got immense relief. It makes sense that some foods will work differently in our bodies - but...

Re: Starch free diet

It sounds like you should give it a go. One of my friends is coelic too and found the transition very hard - half because she missed some of her faves and half because its not easy to buy wheat-free...

Re: Starch free diet

Are starch and gluten the same thing? I guess a low-carb diet would also be a low starch one - is that right? I felt great when I was cutting down on carbs over a few weeks last year, and might make a...

"How does corn fall into the starch register? And by extrapolation, corn tortillas?" Nope, no corn. And the only flours that are starch-free are coconut flour and almond flour. And I think almond...

"D'uh me! Sorry for the ignorant comparison, Lin" No, I think it's very much like a celiac diet. The cookbook I bought is actually for celiacs and Crohn and Irritable Bowel Syndrome sufferers. But in...
