I'd say it's likely the Rice Dream. There's been too many reports of issues with it

here on the board to count.

A lot of people have reported a decreased tolerance for alcohol, turning into

lightweights basically overnight. This same thing happened to me, and I love

it! I might be weird, but I'm also a cheapskate, and I have a fondness for top-

shelf alcohol. Now, if I'm drinking just to enjoy something, it's only one glass

of beer or wine. I'm I'm drinking to get drunk, it only takes two or three. I call

that a score!

Learn to not be so sensitive.  There was nothing over the top about my reply and I understood perfectly what you meant.  There is gluten free labeling and then there is gluten free reality. 

If your goal here is to help people, 'Learn to not be so sensitive' is entirely non-functional.

Um, that's a whole lotta gas money! There are SO many websites that sell these products,

maybe go mail order before you make a 4 hour trip?

Well THAT'S dedication! I've never gone and thrown up on purpose!

So a while ago Addy posted about making cheese bread without buying a mix, using

the recipe from the following link

Well, it's awesome. Piece of advice? Don't accidentally double the amount of oil called

for in the recipe......

I worked as a dispatcher at a car auction, so I was in charge of the truck drivers who
went out and picked up the vehicles. Some days, things went great. Some days, it
rained or snowed or hailed or tornadoed or rained frogs or every SINGLE truck broke
down or eight people called out sick or...... So before I went gluten free, it was all those
days. Now, I only have raining-frog days every few months. Yay!

I totally understand the frustration that comes from dealing with the 'fad diet' attitude, both
from those who are participating in it as a fad diet, and the effect it has on those who serve
in restaurants and the like. I have lost count of the people who've said something along the
lines of 'Well, so-and-so doesn't have to be that careful.'

I have definitely gone into a number of places and been told that while a food that's advertised
as gluten free has 'no gluten ingredients', they have done nothing further to ensure it's safety.
For example, a bakery that uses gluten free recipes, but uses the same mixers, bakes in the
same room as gluten, and so on. I think of those as the 'Dominos' places. While it is my job to
make sure I stay safe, it's still frustrating to be met with this attitude so frequently. I religiously
patronize those places that do get it, and I tell them why, and I bring friends, and I leave as
many positive reviews as possible wherever possible.

If anything, as frustrating as being dismissed as having a 'trendy disease' is, it is nice that
there are so many products on the market now, so I just try to be thankful for that.

I started( Jan 27, 2013) a probiotic/dig.enz. program. Hope it helps with frequency of bowel movements as well as color, odor, and appearance of poo. Yes, a good turd is hard to find with celiac. I'm bothered with IBS/GERD issues since 2007.

In March, 2012, I started to slowly introduce more fresh fruits and veggies, nuts, and protein into my diet. For me, the urgent poo, jhol, posted are infrequent. When I eat spinach/kale my poo is greenish. When I eat dark chocolate (72%) it's black. Introduced a good weight loss program too. Lost 30 lbs.

I keep daily food/poo journals .Some statistics follows:

From 3/1 to 3/16/12; 34 poos between 6 am to 11am (1-3/day). Only 5 between noon and midnight(1-2/day). On 3/4, had 5 movements. A very annoying day.
From 4/18 to 5/3/12; 28 ditto . Only 3 ditto (1/day).
From 7/23 to 8/7/12; 28 ditto (1-2/day). But 12 ditto (1-3/day).
From 9/25 to 10/10/12; 31 ditto (1-3/day). But 17 ditto (1-2/day).
From 1/27 to 2/6/13; 15 ditto (1-2/day). But 10 ditto (1-2/day). To early to tell. ????

I believe 1-3 movements/day is considered normal. With my numbers, it's hard to get out of the house!!! Always need a rest room nearby.

To go back to 2007 and totally abstane from eating anything healthy would really annoy me. Will probiotics/dig enz help with frequency in the long term? I/we celiacs need to win a battle here.

At first I read this as you saying you were pooing 28 times a day. Now I realize you're doing some
weird math thing ( ) and I now see the 1-3 a day numbers. (Am I just math challenged?) I totally feel
you on how annoying it is to not be able to leave the house. At one point my problem was so bad
that if I wanted to leave the house I literally had to bring toilet paper and an emergency container,
because sometimes all you get is 20 seconds warning.

Insta-lightweight!

No, I've just read people say they've used those rice paper rolls to make baklava.
Always a good idea!

Did that work? Want more horror stories? We got plenty!

Hi, I'm new to this site and I'm on day 9 of juicing only. I have been using an 80/20 veggie to fruit ratio and no sweeteners. I went through the normal detox symptoms (headaches, fatigue, etc.) The past two days I was feeling great then last night I added a little wheatgrass to my green juice. I immediately had bloating, cramping, and have been in the bathroom repeatedly. I then read that wheatgrass is gluten free unless it has seeds. I checked my container and the bottom was full of seeds! My doctor had been wanting me to try gluten free to see if I noticed a difference but I would never commit. This past fall I was ill and was put on over 5 five antibiotics including shots too. The meds made me feel just as bad as the problem. So, I started the juicing to clean out my body. I don't need weight loss. I feel horrible right now! Obviuosly, I had a reaction to the wheatgrass, what do I do now?

Um, gotta say now is when you go gluten free darlin.

I roasted a chicken! A whole one! And it's DELICIOUS. The internet really does
know everything! Hahahahahah!!!!!!

I have been gluten free for 8 years, I developed a (likely stress-related) intolerance
of all things tomato a couple years ago. Gave myself a year off, tried it again, was good.
Sometimes, you just have no idea.....
