Wakingup

Thanks blessed momma, Do you think that even a trace of gluten can cause emotional upset? So if my husband eats cookies, crackers, bread, etc., I shouldn't touch him until he changes clothes and bathes? I was on ssri medicine for,many years.....did a very slow wean off and have been ssri free for two years. I have read that the emotional aftermath...

I have not been formally diagnosed with celiac or gluten sensitivity. I stopped eating gluten about three years ago and the stomach bloating and gas have stopped. We eat out about 2 times a year....on Sunday we ate out and I ordered a chocolate dessert that contained gluten (knowingly). My mind is my worst enemy. It told me, why mot try, maybe...

What does this entail? Do you know if this is covered by insurance? Is it expensive? Can it confirm celiac disease?

Last week I stooped eating sweets for lent.....the next day I felt like I had the flu....I think it must have been sugar withdrawal.......so went back to eating my ritual two pieces of gluten free dark chocolate every night. Also eat two pieces of gluten-free carmel candy everyday. I'm planning to wean next week.....I'm 67 years old and much more sensitive...

This is for anyone trying to decide whether to test. I'm 67 years old and realised almost two years ago that I have gluten intolerance. I stopped eating gluten and get terribly ill when I ingest any. I would like to know for sure the extent of my intolerance. Would I have to go back to eating gluten every day for awhile? I don't know if I...

Cali How did you know? Were you tested? I think this may be true for me too......I ask bc I just need to know if there is anything else that I need to be avoiding.

Thanks very much everyone.....and Cali, for the link. Reading your responses has helped. It's 1am here and I'm up again with terrible gas and stomach discomfort, body aches, anxiety, depression and feelings of hopelessness. I could cry at the drop of a hat. Can't sleep but at the same time feeling extremely weak and exhausted. Brain fog and...

We rarely eat out anymore because I always get sick when we do. But last night we made an exception because it was church pot luck and I brought my own gluten free dish. Also served was gluten free white crab chowder so i had some of that Today I am a weepy, anxious depressed, miserable mess. Also terrible brain fog so don't know if this is making...

Great suggestions, thank you.....what do you do with the egg yolk? My husband doesn't like eggs and I hate to throw food out.

Such a helpful thread for me, thanks so much!

Dear friends, I need your help with breakfast ideas. I self diagnosed over a year ago. Last month I received news that my cholesterol is on the high side....total cholesterol 245, LDL 173, HDL 55. I declined medication and told the doc I will work on changing my diet. Before discovering my gluten intolerance, I was eating oatmeal and morningstar...

I read online that aloe vera juice can help thwart the effects of being accidentally glutened. I read that some folks drink it before eating out to prevent the effects of possible cross contamination. Anyone have experience with this? I am traveling and need all the help I can get since we are eating out more than normal.

Hi Cap, Yes.....it seems that NO MATTER WHAT I eat when I'm out, I end up with stomach pain, gas, bloatedness, flatulence, misery. And eating out is the way I socialize mostly with friends, especially friends and family I haven't seen for awhile.

Since my last thread re: traveling and eating out, I 'm still having stomach issues. I was fine when I awoke yesterday, ate out again, this time had a baked potato with sour cream and some butter. Also two cups decaf coffee, which I normally do not drink. Then went to a movie and had to go to the bathroom in the middle of the movie.....loose bowels...

I have had the Lara bars but not the Oskri.....will try to find them. Thanks everyone for all the suggestions, really appreciate it.
