Clean off the spectacles Girl :P  Start reading the label twice, once for gluten, once for corn.  And you know how I feel about restaurants, so I won't go there.  Get well quickly.  :)

I know!! Well Geeze I haven't seen my son in so long! And he was in town, it was getting late, hubbs was tiredhe gets up at 3:45 am. He needed to eat I needed to eat and the kids needed to eat. SO i picked Lone Star because they have a awesome new Chef that is sooo cool!! And the Corn doesn't linger and make me sick like Gluten does. It goes right thru me! But yea I am going to have to start reading better!! I knew it didn't have Gluten! I am not about to do that again!! Not even for Chocolate! It is amazing how 2 lil pieces of candy can effect me !! Just that lil bit of corn! Amazes me!! 

I did talk to a friend today that wend grain free! She is such an interesting person!! Amazing!!

OK I said it didn't effect me! Well I think I was wrong!! My joints have been aching I had a spot on my foot last night that was threatening a cramp all night!! Didn't cramp put kept me up threatening it! And a headache! I had a small headache all day! I didn't take anything for it because it wasn't bad and I am not sure what to take anymore! I am sure all this was due to the corn I ate! I have been doing so well! I used to wake up nightly from lag cramps! And I thought going Gluten free was helping that but still kinda getting them, since going Corn free I have not been getting them at all! Till last night! I think it was a lingering symptom.

Your getting there Wendy.  Read, Read, and Read labels.  I still get those threatening foot cramp things.  Doesn't go to a full cramp, THANKFULLY, but I freak out anyway :lol:

 

Be well.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
