  1. So sorry to hear you've been so sick! I can't speak to "cheap versions" of soda, but I never order anything that comes through a hose that could potentially be cross-contaminated with other fluids. For example, I don't ever trust draft gluten-free beer or cider. I'll only drink it if it comes in a bottle. I'm a bourbon drinker myself and always order...
  2. I was experiencing something similar, with low energy and a tendency to over-eat (which was never my thing). I started logging my diet and paying attention to the macros (protein, fat, and carbohydrates). I found that I was not getting nearly enough carbs, which the body uses for energy. Once I started making sure I was getting enough carbs (for me this...
  3. I'm so sorry you had a bad experience. I have Celiac and have been eating this every day since my original post, with no ill effects. Perhaps you had a reaction to a particular ingredient, or maybe you're one of the lucky folks with Celiac who also cannot eat oats (even certified gluten free oats)?
  4. Just wanted to share this with you all. I found a product called Ka'Chava, which is a plant-based powder made from a substantial list of various plants. (see www.kachava.com) I'm not trying to advocate for this product, but it was something that interested me and I decided to try it. I received my first packet and saw that it contains oats. As anyone...
  5. Hi - I'm in the middle of peri-menopause with hopes to be done with whole thing very soon (can't come soon enough if you ask me). I have been experiencing weird periodic nausea for the last couple of months and until I just read your post had not considered the two might be linked. I've actually had a couple of episodes where it felt like I would feel...
  6. FYI... as of Oct 2017, Green Chef is now certified Gluten Free. (Sun Basket states on their website that cross-contamination is likely and their food is NOT recommended for those with gluten intolerance.) I haven't tried Green Chef yet, but am due to get my first shipment in a couple of weeks.
  7. Your doctor is right. After being gluten-free for that long there is no point in getting tested. However, if you are getting even more sensitive to accidental glutenings then you can pretty much rest assured that you have Celiac. Tell your husband that wanting to stay alive and healthy isn't weird.
  8. This will either help, or give you a headache: http://www.jbiomedsci.com/content/19/1/88 Just one word of caution... approximately 30% of the general population has at least one of the precursor genes for Celiac. Only about 1% actually develop Celiac.
  9. This is facinating because I'm finding the opposite to be true. Before going gluten free I started having perimenapause symptoms... mostly night sweats and not really hot flashes, but just noticing that heat bothers me more. Like my body had a harder time keeping my internal temp down. I've been gluten free for 6 months and the night sweats have stopped...
  10. Yep - I was getting a lot of "break-through-bleeding" for years before my diagnosis. You definitely want to get it checked out to make sure it isn't something more serious going on. For me, every OBGYN I ever went to looked really concerned, ran a bunch of tests, then when all of the tests came back negative came to the conclusion that "some women are just...
  11. I used to get those very same eye issues right before I got a migraine. For me it was related to low blood sugar. Have you had your blood sugar tested? It can be low or high (approaching diabetes) - either can effect your eyesight.
  12. My mother gets itchy, crawly sensations on her back when she eats oats. Even certified gluten-free oats. Neither her or my uncle can tolerate oats (both have Celiac), so I haven't touched them since going gluten free.
  13. IMO, you should have it checked out. Possible causes for pain in that area are kidney infection, kidney stones, or ovarian cysts: http://voices.yahoo.com/causes-severe-pain-lower-left-side-the-6694210.html Sources for this article: The National Institutes of Health on Abdominal Pain and The Mayo Clinic on Causes of Abdominal Pain
  14. I know this thread was started quite some time ago, but just wanted to add that a teaspoon of apple-cider vinegar in water can work wonders. Start with just a teaspoon though - it actually tastes pretty good, but if you overdo it, it can work too well...
