I am sure I posted in the wrong place but new here and can't find my way around.

I am trying to find out what is wrong with me.

I act like I have IBS with D.

The Doctors have ran so many tests and nothing shows up as being the problem.

So I'm going to take my life back,

First, I love salads and things like that, well that's a no no.

So I'm finding other foods to eat but need help with breads,

What kind of stores can you find wheat free breads?

Also has anyone made a rice or wheat free bread using a bread machine?

Thanks

Tillie

ps

Also if someone can tell me what board I should go to I'll go there.

I've made Bob's Red Mill Homemade Wonderful bread (Kroger carries it or you ca order it from Bobsredmill.com. Just yesterday I made Cause you're so special bread and it was even better. (I ordered this at glutenfreemall.com, but then found it cheaper at Open Original Shared Link Both are good, though.

Self - Pain free since going gluten free 9/05 (suffered from unexplained joint pain entire life

Now this made me sit of and pay attention.

Can you tell me a bit more about this?

Are you saying the pains have slowed down now that your off wheat?

What kind of test did they run or did you do things like I'm doing?

Sorry but I just hurt and I've noticed it's worse when I have a flair up.

So this is why I'm starting to try and treat myself.

I don't have a Krogers store here but have a friend that lives close to one if I can't find it here.

I also have been having a lot of joint pain.

Thanks

I went gluten free (see signature), the noticed other food problems and by the end of everything, by December, I realized that my joint pain, that I have been having for about 15 years, was GONE!!!!

Fixing my diet definitly helped my joint pain.

There is also a theory that nightshade veggies cause joint pain - potatoes, tomotatoes, egg plant, peppers (these are the ones I know about).

I belong to this GIG group and last week we just had a guest speaker, it is a bread mix that you put in the microwave for a minute and then just take it out and BAM you have two pieces of bread, warm and soft. I will get the name for you when I get home. It is not that expensive but you would have to order it off line. I thought that it was worth it.

      Chances of being coeliac

      What was the reference range for that test? Each lab uses different reference ranges so a raw score like that makes it difficult to comment on. But it looks like a rather large number.

      Chances of being coeliac

      I have had the tTG-IgA blood test my result are >250.0  I am waiting for the appointment with the gastroenterologist for endoscopy and biopsies.    what are the chances it’s not coeliacs.  waiting and not knowing is so hard. Especially the eating of gluten knowing it may be causing you more harm and coping with the symptoms.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @sleuth, Has your son been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  All of those symptoms can be caused by malnutrition.  I had severe malnutrition that went unrecognized by my doctors.  Intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, and gastrointestinal distress are symptoms of deficiencies in the eight essential B vitamins, especially Thiamine B1, which becomes low first because the demand is higher when we're sick.     Celiac Disease causes inflammation and damage of the intestinal lining which inhibits absorption of essential nutrients.  Checking for nutritional deficiencies is part of proper follow up care for people with celiac disease.   Is your son taking any vitamin supplements?  Most supplements contain thiamine mononitrate which in not readily absorbed and utilized by the body.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that is shown to promote intestinal healing.  Benfotiamine is available over the counter.  Benfotiamine is safe and nontoxic.   Is your son eating processed gluten-free foods?  Gluten-free processed foods are not required to be enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.   Is your son following a low histamine diet?  Histamine is released as part of the immune response to gluten and other foods high in histamine.  High levels of histamine in the brain can cause anxiety, insomnia, and depression.  The body needs the B vitamins to make the enzyme Diamine Oxidase (DAO) to break down and clear histamine.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Vitamin C helps clear histamine as well.  Some people find over the counter antihistamines helpful as well, but they're not for long term use.   Nicotine has antihistamine-like properties, but can also irritate the gut.  Tobacco, from which nicotine is derived, is a nightshade (like tomatoes, potatoes, peppers and eggplant).  Nightshades contain alkaloids which affect gastrointestinal permeability, causing leaky gut syndrome.  Nicotine can cause gastrointestinal irritation and alter for the worse the microbiome. Safer alternatives to Nicotine that have antihistamine properties include Lemon Balm (Sweet Melissa),  Passion Flower, Chamomile, and Bilberry.  They can be taken as supplements, extracts, or tea.  These will help with the anxiety, insomnia and depression in a much safer way. Oolong tea is also helpful.  Oolong tea contains the amino acid L-Theanine which helps the digestive tract heal.  (L -Theanine supplements are available over the counter, if not a tea drinker.)  Tryptophan, a form of Niacin B3, also helps calm digestive symptoms.  Another amino acid, L-Lysine, can help with anxiety and depression.  I've used these for years without problems.   What ways to cope have you tried in the past?
