Is there a brand name of those rice tortillas?   That sounds good. I"d love to find a wrap or tortilla or bread or something that has no corn product in it. I looked up the Enjoy Life stuff.  It doesn't mention on amazon that there is no corn in it, but when you read the ingredients on your boxes, is there no corn ingredient, including no xantham gum? It'd be so great to find baking items with no corn.  

Seriously check my list -_- Simple Mills, grain free corn free mixes, Enjoy Life, is corn free also but uses a bunch of starches and grains, I listed a rice/cavassa tortilla on there, I listed coconut wraps as alternatives also and those are grain free. I also listed alternatives go gluten free and corn free tortilla chips......I have a corn allergy, like 100F+ fever and blood blisters forming in my mouth, stomach, intestines, and if I touch the stuff I break out in a poison ivy like rash.

i find that i can tolerate some foods that were off limits to me (soy, certain veggies, ice cream, chocolate, etc) if i do not eat them two days in a row, for whatever reason.  i'm thinking histamines.  whatever it is, i can eat many more/different foods.  i usually eat the same sort of food/meal every 3 days.  i was puzzled why i could eat something one day and be fine.  then eat the same thing the next day and not fine.  seems to be working :) i thought i had a problem with eggs bc i was eating them nearly every day for breakfast, but if i rotate it with cereal one day, a bagel or waffle or pancakes etc for day 2 then i can have eggs the third day as long as i go back to cereal the next day (for example) i can even tolerate fresh (and frozen lolz) fruit once every 3 days when i thought i couldn't tolerate fruit at all.  so long as i don't eat it tomorrow ;)

it's trial and error, and what works for one may not work for another.....  but this seems to be working for me.  right now lolz :D

Where is your list?  Was that also in the recipe section or a different section?  That has got to be really freaky having such a corn reaction.  I am glad you have found good foods to eat you are okay with.

Did not check earlier but I did not mention that the simple mills was corn free, though I did mention grain free.

Thanks. That list gave me some brands to try that have no corn.  I need to check some stores around town to see what they all have, but might have to order some things.  I did just get some pita pockets at the store (Market Basket) in the frozen section and they have no corn, brown rice, or rice bran, thankfully.  I haven't tried them yet, but on Halloween our tradition (ever since I was a kid) was homemade pizza.  I wasn't sure how I was going to do that this year, but now I'll use these pitas as the crust.  Now on to see if I can find a pepperoni that is not only gluten free, but no other ingredients in it that might bother me.  Although I will probably pass on all the toppings (like also onions and peppers and mushrooms) and just use cheese this year to be more gentle and mild on my tummy.  I am still recovering from I think an accidental cross contamination. 

Oh, the pita pockets in case anyone is interested are called Against The Grain.  The ingredients are: tapioca starch, milk, buckwheat flour, non GMO canola oil, salt, yeast, raisin juice concentrate, 

I am hoping nothing in them will bother me.   I have not had anything with buckwheat flour yet and hoping the raisin juice concentrate is okay.  Never even heard of that before.

Califlour foods, pizza crust is corn free. the plant based one is great. I think there is a huge sale right now on the 5 packs with a pizza pan. It can be used for a flat bread also, There is a trick to the crust, depending on the prebake you can get different levels of crispness 5min prebake gets a super soft crust while 15-20mins makes it extra crispy.

Ingredients:
Cauliflower, Almond Flour, Flax Meal, Olive Oil, Tapioca Starch, Garlic Powder, Dried Basil, Himalayan Pink Salt, Nutritional Yeast

When my gut is damaged from a glutening, I can not eat cauliflower.  Fortunately, with healing, I can get it back.   Same for dairy.   It is all about easy-to-digest foods.  

I have a big freezer in my garage.  Best investment ever!  I cook soups, stews and chili to always have on hand.  I freeze pre-cooked  ground beef, stew meat, chicken, shredded pork (seasoned or not)   Defrost to be tossed into any dish (e.g. tacos).  I also have cookies and other  goodies for my family that I bake.  Handy when going to a party, etc.   All gluten free of course.  

It sounds like you are doing just fine.  Plan for the times that you are tired or are not feeling well, so that you are making good choices all the time.   I keep snacks in my purse or food in a cooler when we are out and about.  

That meatloaf?  We add white rice.  Always have.  I think it is a Polish thing!  

You are doing great!  

CyclingLady, czy ty jest Polskie?  Wow, that is too funny!  Do you make golabki also?  I never developed the knack for making good golabki somehow, but my mom makes them awesome.  Too bad we don't have any good substitute for pierogi --- I don't think anyone is ever going to make a gluten-free dough that is that thin and stretchy that still holds together.

I do make a mean wild mushroom soup, from wild mushrooms that I gather and dry here in Alaska.  I used to make a pretty damned good makowiec (which all the members of the local Polish Club used to rely on and enjoy), but sadly no longer, as that was made of course with a gluten dough.  I also do zupa szczawiowa from szczaw that I grow myself.

      Thank you.  Very helpful.

      Migraines can be caused by Thiamine deficiency.  Thiamine is a B vitamin that becomes depleted quickly because it can't be stored long.  All the  B vitamins work together to make energy, ATP, which is used to fuel all the cell activity.  Without Thiamine, the energy production cycle doesn't even get started.   There's studies done on mice showing thiamine deficiency affects the offspring of thiamine deficient mothers and fathers.  The offspring have fewer thiamine receptors and are prone to becoming thiamine insufficient quickly.  They have a higher metabolic need for thiamine.  Supplementing with extra thiamine helped them  tremendously. Migraines have run in my family for several generations, too.  Once I started taking TTFD, a form of thiamine that can enter cells without using thiamine transporters, my migraines have vanished.  TTFD is tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide. Benfotiamine is another form that can improve migraine frequency, too. Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  There is no upper limit because thiamine has never caused a death even in high doses.  It is excreted via kidneys if not needed or not absorbed.

      Lymphocytic Colitis with Celiac

      Thank you, @Oldturdle, I greatly appreciate that.  I've always been a curious kitty.  I wanted to figure out why I didn't feel well because I knew it wasn't all in my head like they told me.  It pleases me to be able to help others in the same boat. Yes, alcohol prevents the absorption of thiamine and stops thiamine from working properly.  This can lead to Wernicke's Encephalopathy and Korsakoff syndrome, where thiamine deficiency severely affects brain function.  Doctors are trained to look for the triad of symptoms: opthalmoplegia (nystagmus), ataxia, and altered mental state.  However, not all people present with all three symptoms.  Many (80%) don't get diagnosed until their autopsy.   Alcohol has to be processed through the liver.  If there's insufficient thiamine, Alcoholic Fatty Liver develops.  In thiamine insufficiency, calories are turned into fat and stored in the liver instead of being turned into fuel ATP for the body.  Alcohol also prevents absorption of calories from food and other nutrients.   Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver can develop in nonalcoholics, storing excess calories as fat in the liver.  However, excess calories can also be turned into fat and stored in the abdomen, hence the increase in obesity.   In Celiac disease, we don't absorb sufficient nutrients like thiamine from our food.  If we eat a diet high in carbohydrates, we can run out of vitamins like thiamine and the other Bs needed to turn those calories into fuel ATP.  For every extra thousand calories of carbohydrates consumed, our bodies require 500 to 1000 mg of additional thiamine to process them into fuel, ATP,  the "bitcoin" of energy in our bodies.   Wernicke's encephalopathy can occur in non-alcoholic people, but doctors can miss the symptoms because the patient doesn't drink, and doesn't have all three symptoms of the classic Triad of symptoms seen in Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome.  My doctors failed to diagnose me with thiamine deficiency, Wernicke's Encephalopathy,  because I didn't drink alcohol, although I had ataxia and an altered mental state.   Doctors don't think outside the box!   I went home and took thiamine.  I had improvement in my symptoms within an hour.  High doses of thiamine are required to correct Thiamine deficiency.  Thank God I had studied nutrition, microbiology, and the research of Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  ("Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition" is Drs. Lonsdale and Marrs' book.).  And I've kept learning and sharing that knowledge to help others.   It's wonderful you've been supplementing with vitamins so long!  Don't worry about the bright yellow urine.  That's excess Riboflavin B 2.  Interesting note, Riboflavin glows under black light!  Those lights used to detect where pets have soiled outside of the box, that's the Riboflavin in urine glowing.  Riboflavin can be put in sugar syrup when making rock candy and it will glow under black light.  Fun for Halloween. I hope you feel better, @Oldturdle.  If I can be of further help anytime, you can send a personal message here.  Thanks for reading my posts.  P.S. Thiamine deficiency and Wernicke's Encephalopathy are completely reversible if treated promptly with high dose Thiamine.

      Migraines ran in my family, on my father's side.  All of my female first cousins on that side, and our grandmother suffered from Migraines.  Grandmother died in 1984 so we do not know if she ever would have been diagnosed with celiac disease. However, all 4 of us cousins were diagnosed with celiac disease between 2003 and 2007.  The dermatitis herpetiformis rash is a blistery, super itchy rash.  When they do the biopsy they take it from non-involved skin that is next to the rash.  If done wrong, the results may not be accurate.  Have you ever had one done? In that case, I agree that maybe she has you still on gluten for a biopsy.  But, if she has not ordered it nor referred you to a gastroenterologist, then I would question her advice.

      Scott Adams makes an excellent point about the possible pending scope with biopsy being the reason you were advised to keep eating gluten, @NCalvo822! You might want to get some clarification about that. What you don't want to happen is to go gluten free and then have to go back on gluten at some point in order to produce valid scoping/biopsy results.
