I've been eating McCann's as well. I looked at their website and it didn't make me nervous since they pretty much stick to oatmeal. Quaker makes EVERYTHING, so I don't even want to try their stuff. I usually eat the instant stuff, and I stopped eating some of the flavors just because I have no idea what those are. So far I've only noticed that I feel funny after those instant flavors but I've had oats in other places like Luna bars and I felt ok. I'm still new at figuring out what makes me feel bad though.

hey guys im doing much better now. ive felt a lot of withdrawal since coming of gluten. i went accupuncture for my 3rd time today. they say after the 5th i will feel and see the benefits.

did you know that grains at all may not even be good for us in the long term?

apparently only birds are capable of digesting grains. even rice may cause us bad digestion so im going to avoid even the non gluten gluten grains as much as possible.

when the immune system is stronger will it fight away any parasites or other things while eating lot's of parasite killing herbs like cumin caraway etc. oh by the way everytime i eat cinnamon i sneeze after a while. ive cut it out for two days now and guess what no more everyday sneezing. i ate cinnamon on a lot of things.

oh one more thing i found out that you can rid your body of worms by eating a piece of jaggery in the morning first thing then 5 minutes later eat a tea spoon of caraway seed and it should purge them out. just thought id share

Can those dark circles come from anything else besides food intolerances and allergies? I suggested the gluten-free thing to my friend last week because he's been out sick a lot in the last six months. He's always had major dark circles (worse than anyone I've ever seen) as long as I've known him. It turns out that his mother had to start a gluten-free diet this year! I probably got it right, but I'm curious if anything else can cause those circles.

I have had circles under my eyes my whole life. I'm not sure if I have Celiac yet, but I'm kind of hoping I do since I will know what is wrong with me. I don't know if I can take years of trying to find out what is wrong. My DS also has dark circles under his eyes, but you can't see them as much because his skin is a little darker than mine.

      thank you for your advice. I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated. I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.

      I am new here but celiac disease is not new to me. I was diagnosed with it at age 60. At the time I weighed a whopping 89 pounds. I was so ignorant to celiac so I buried myself in learning all about it and looking for food I could eat. I lost so much weight and stayed sick all the time. So to combat the sickness I was give all sorts of meds for loose bowels...

I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and  gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem I have is a gag reflex out of this world and if something doesn't taste good it is not going down. Most commercially made breads and such taste like old cardboard.Pastas are about the same. I did find one flour that I like and use it regularly, but it is so expensive! All gluten free food is way more expensive. I only eat twice a day because I cannot afford to buy all that. We live on a very low income so my food purchases are quite limited.

      What you've described—the severe weight loss, the cycle of medications making things worse, and the profound fear of eating before leaving the house—is a heavy burden to carry for 15 years. It is absolutely not your fault. While everyone's journey with celiac is different, the struggles with the learning curve, social isolation, and dietary grief are feelings many in the community know all too well. Your question about whether you should just eat what you want and manage the symptoms is a heartbreaking one, born from years of frustration. It's crucial to know that the diarrhea is a sign of ongoing damage to your small intestine from gluten, and simply managing the symptom with Imodium doesn't stop that internal harm or the risk of other complications. The fact that you are still getting sick within an hour of eating, even while trying to be gluten-free, is a huge red flag that something isn't right. This could be due to cross-contamination in your kitchen (e.g., using a shared toaster, colander, or condiment jars), hidden gluten in foods, or the possibility of another concurrent condition like refractory celiac disease. Don't give up!  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      I am new here but celiac disease is not new to me. I was diagnosed with it at age 60. At the time I weighed a whopping 89 pounds. I was so ignorant to celiac so I buried myself in learning all about it and looking for food I could eat. I lost so much weight and stayed sick all the time. So to combat the sickness I was give all sorts of meds for loose bowels and vomiting. All that just made me sicker. Eventually I chucked it all and went back to eating like I had all my life. Now I am from the south and biscuits and gravy are a big part of our food, as are breaded foods, pasta, and sandwich bread. Through the years I would try to do the gluten free thing again and am doing it now. It has not helped any. Within and hour of eating I have to run to the bathroom. I am now 75 and am wondering if I should just forget it and eat what I like, take Immodium and live the best I can. I cannot eat before going anywhere for fear of embarrassing myself. Family and church dinners are out of the question unless I eat and run straight home. I am so frustrated I just want to sit down and cry or throw something. Does everyone go through all this?
