Guest guest Posted March 19, 2001 Report Share Posted March 19, 2001 Hi everybody, Are there any herbs that contain gluten besides xiao mai and fu xiao mai? I have a gluten interolerant patient coming in this week but I haven't worked with such patients before. Thanks, Kristin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 19, 2001 Report Share Posted March 19, 2001 Hey Kristin, I'm not sure about herbs, but there's a great resource, the Celiac Disease organization. Many large cities have a Celiac Disease support group and the organization has a great website that lists foods to avoid, tasty substitutes, and some research. It is www.celiacdisease.com. For example, did you know that most ginger ale has gluten in it? Apparently wheat is used to give it that nice golden glow. If a food says natural flavor or natural coloring, the celiac disease people say beware. Even if you have patients with only a very mild wheat sensitivity that results in typical spleen qi xu/accumulation of dampness gas, bloating, abdominal distention, constipation, check out this website. I've been finding quite a few people here in Michigan with curious symptoms that seem to respond to acupuncture, but only briefly, e.g., chronic sinusitis, chronic digestive weakness, and some cases of migraines. After looking at some similar pattern differentiations and having problems with long-term effects, I try wheat clearing for two weeks. It doesn't always work, but I've had a few interesting successes (plus, most of the people who've done the clearing also seem to lose weight). Anyway, this website gives people some hope that they can eat enjoyable meals that don't necessarily have wheat.
