yeah, that does sound like cross contamination then. I am so sorry!!!

Thanks everybody! I appreciate the support and sympathy...sometimes that is all you can do. It's hard when you don't have anyone close to you who understand. I've got a great family, but they just don't "get it." I'll stick to the bland stuff for a few weeks...so far, so good. Glad for the tip on the veggies!

I ordered what I had before at a different restaurant, and I did fine. California roll with mackerel substituted for crab (very yummy), two pieces of tuna nigiri, and a tuna roll -- just tuna, rice and seaweed. I bought my own La Choy soy sauce across the street before going in. And we had mochi red bean ice cream at the end. Same things I've had before, so I'm guessing maybe cross contamination?

I didn't know La Choy was gluten free, so after reading your post I Googled it, hoping to try some. Without looking very much at all, I saw quite a few complaining that they got glutened by the supposedly gluten-free La Choy. Maybe the factory had a cross contamination issue?

Rice and salt, maybe with a little gluten-free chicken broth.

When I had stomach upset I used to resort to a few saltines.

But, obviously, not now.

And I've had stomach upset for a long time.

An old Greek woman I knew once swore by saltines and flat ginger ale.

Salt tends to help the stomach, though I can't tell you the reason why.

Hope you feel better very soon!!

I can sympathize, believe me!!

I'm not sure how this would help. I think that most gas is caused by improperly digested food reaching the colon where it is 'digested' by the resident bacteria, whose waste product is gas. An enema would only get rid of what is in there at the moment, it won't help with everything else that gets moved in by the still badly functioning small intestine.

The enema does at least remove much quicker what's in the colon rather than allowing it to work its way out at its own pace, and the enema removes the gas along with it thereby relieving the fart mechanism at least for a while.

Sometimes, seaweed can be "seasoned" with soy sauce, depending on the brand/where they get it. I do not trust sushi places. I LOVE sushi, but I dunno if I'll ever have it again. Wayyyy too paranoid about CC.
