  1. Hi K, I am nightshade free also. Nightshade foods include potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant. They all contain various kinds of alkaloids that can cause joint pain in some people. My joint pain went away after a month or so nightshade and soy free. Hopefully that will happen for you also. But if not, being nightshade free might reduce...
  2. Hi Christine. The start of the gluten-free diet can be tough. There is lots of learn about ingredients and risks that we aren't used to thinking about. I figure 6 months is a fairly good time frame for getting over the basic part of learning the gluten-free diet. Things do get easier. Some restaurants have gluten-free items on their menus. You...
  3. There are restaurants that serve gluten-free food. You can also bring your own food to some restaurants and just get a drink or something simple form them. Ask first of course.
  4. Hi, B-12 is good to take, but a B complex is also a good idea. The damage to our small intestine lining is what causes the deficiencies. That damage takes time to heal, possibly months or more. So absorption of nutrients should improve but not be back to normal for a while. You can also get good amounts of vitamin D from oily fish like salmon...
  5. Hi, I took 50K IU of vitamin D also by RX. The RX didn't seem to help my vitamin D deficiency much. I switched to NutriGold vitamin D and also Nature Made vitamin D. They did the trick. So my thinking is don't trust the RX vitamin D to work. Your body also needs boron to retain vitamin D. B vitamins are important for nerve health. Did the...
  6. Hi Pinkee, The rash on your elbows could be DH (dermatitis herpetiformis). DH is a skin condition only people with celiac disease get. It usually appears as a rash in a symmetrical pattern on the body, both elbows, both knees etc. People with DH sometimes don't test positive on the endoscopy. That could be because the antibodies are concentrated...
  7. Vitamin D and boron along with calcium are all helpful for bones. CVS sells a supplement they call Triple Joint Health that may help. You can get vitamin D from sunshine and from oily fish like salmon, tuna, mackeral and sardines.
  8. Hi Sandy, Gluten may not be the exact cause of your pain but it's hard to be sure. Wine is usually considered to be gluten-free. But there are other elements in wine that could cause a reaction. Sulfites in wine can cause some people to react. Or the pain could be caused by something else you ate or drank that day. I suggest you try some milk...
  9. If you are talking about ice cream, there are non-dairy subs out there now. So Delicious makes coconut ice cream subs and Halo top makes some also. They both also make regular dairy ice cream too so check labels. Are all your vitamin and mineral levels good? They should be checked since you are having GI /nerve symptoms.
  10. Hi Margarita, It used to be a person could add a signature under their profile. If you click the down arrow next to your profile picture at top right of the page, and click "settings" you can find the signature option in the left side list. If you click the "Forums" link in the top blue bar/banner, it will take you to a list of forum sub sections...
  11. Welcome to the forum Margarita! Please take a look through the DH (dermatitis herpetiformis) sub-forum for more info on DH. You may find some helpful info in there.
  12. The DH photo bank is a good place to start looking.
