    Hi! Well, this isn't a medicine, as such, but there is nothing for depression like running or dance class! I know that probably sounds trite and inane, but, as a runner for 27 years and a dancer for 25, if I don't do these things, I tend to become very depressed. I run every day but only 2 miles. Many "hard core" runners have asked me why I don't increase...

    I, too, have just started using the PLAIN McCormick spices. So far, so good. Maybe it's something else? I have all the same intolerances as you, by the way, and avoid those foods. (Air tastes good, eh?) lisa

    Hi! I wanted to add that while I have been tested positive for 2 of Dr. Fine's gluten sensitivity genes and have a very positive response to the gluten-free diet, my Gastro wouldn't diagnose celiac because of an inconclusive biopsy as well. This was after 3 months gluten-free and positive bloodwork while gluten-free! However! I just saw my regular physician...

    r Hi and welcome. I'm sorry about your food situation and I don't know about the metamucil. Like you, I react to EVERYTHING it seems and I have been gluten-free for about 6 months now. I would continue to just eat fresh meats, fish, shellfish- if you can- fruits and veggies for awhile. Perhaps stop the eggs. Then, ever so SLOWLY, one thing at a time...

    Okay, something weird happened there and my response is mixed in with a previous one. I apologize! Hopefully, you can sort it out! lisa

    Welcome and fear not! Wishing you well. lisa

    Okay, so I'd really like to get some extra C back in my diet and the Ascorbic acid (powder) I was using is derived from corn, another intolerance. Does anyone know where/how I can get some C in supplement form that would NOT be corn-based and also gluten, soy, dairy, sorbitol-free. Any ideas are greatly appreciated. I also have not been having citrus fruit...

    Hi and welcome, I think it's difficult to say and I am no expert. I guess it depends how long it takes for the antibodies to show up in your blood. How long were you off gluten? I'm sorry I can't be more help. Good luck to you and let us know your results. lisa

    Thank you, Mamaw. I suspect it's something else. lisa

    Hi! I, too, had a "weak" positive after 2 and 1 half MONTHS gluten-free. (tTg= 28, normal is 0 to 19) Endoscopy inconclusive so Gastro dismissed me and I was on my way. Eeeekkkk!!! Went through Enterolab and was positive for gluten-reactivity (after 4 months supposedly gluten-free-missed some) and 2 genes for gluten intolerance. Positive dietary response...

    Does anyone react to canola oil? It's on my "spread-sheet" of potential problems. I know it's supposedly fine, gluten-wise, but... Thank you. lisa

    What a great idea and welcome! I have longed for such a thing. Good luck to you. Loraleena, Where in Vermont? lisa

    Thanks to everyone for all your suggestions. No, I don't eat corn, dairy, soy or gluten so it feels tricky. I will look for the Terra chips. Happygirl, thank you for the website! Tiffany, thanks for the dehydrater idea. I guess the rice cakes might be the way to go right now. Have a great day! lisa

    Yes, AND those foolish anti-bacterial soaps are finally getting the press they deserve- they only contribute to bacterial resistance to antibiotics! We NEED to be exposed to a few germs. I've refused to jump on the anti-bacterial bandwagon because it doesn't make sense to me. Those hints for dry hands, though, are all greatly appreciated. I'm still using...

    Hi everyone. I think I am having to concede to having a problem with lectins right now. Cape Cod potato chips were my "safety" food at work. (Meaning, when hungry and in a mad rush, could have those as a starch and filler) But my food log being run through a statistical analysis by my spousal-equivalent is showing them to be highly suspect. I already...

    Welcome, Janie. I have nothing brilliant to add but would echo others that, if you choose not to go the traditional "Western Medicine" route, getting the gluten out should tell you a lot. One thing that seems clear to me in my now nine- month odyssey of researching gluten, is: NOT ENOUGH RESEARCH HAS BEEN DONE ON THIS ISSUE!!! I think the tide is turning...

    eKatherine, Thank you for that. I will look for that at a pet food store. I am getting a little tired of seeing the glutenous dogfood strewn all over the kitchen floor! Thanks. lisa

    Julie, If you're still reading this, thank you for this thread. I just had my panel rerun after 5?ish months gluten-free and my tTg is positive again. Low, but, what the heck? I am also experiencing symptoms and, like you, cannot find the culprit. I think the people who advised using nothing processed for awhile have a good point. I am going to try...

    Kate and Ipelligr That is very interesting- I am going to check into both things and thank you very much! lisa
  20. oceangirl
    Thank you both very much! I guess it must be something else- the search continues! Be well. lisa

    Hi! I might suspect the dinner out before the quinoa. It's so hard to know! I am one of those with a delayed reaction so it's quite fun trying to figure it out! Corn bothers me as well, so I am gluten, corn, soy and dairy- free presently. Hoping to try cheese someday. Good luck to you. lisa

    Elizabeth, Ooh, I don't know but it seems there have been people on here talking about their thyroid issues. Do you have a knowledgable celiac/intolerance doctor? It seems you should check with a doctor. Sorry I'm not more help- maybe someone else will post. lisa

    Hi, I wonder if anyone has had issues with gound beef as opposed to steak? Meaning- is it possible they use the machines on other things that may pose cc issues? I have a vague correlation with ground beef- eating and feeling glutened. I only eat meat from a farm in Maine that uses no antibiotics or growth hormones and la, la... Thank you in advance...

    Hi, Elizabeth! I had an endo and colonoscopy after being mostly gluten-free for 3 months and they were negative. I, too, did a gluten challenge, but lasted only three days as the pain was so severe I almost went to the hospital. I was "diagnosed" by Enterolab as "having two genes for gluten intolerance." (same as Carla- DQ1,1 subtypes 5, 6) No one can...

    Yes,as well. Actually, after never having much in the way of cramps, they are quite hideous now leading up to my period. And much worse digestive issues. I am peri-menopausal and have a 6cm fibroid- don't know if that's not helping much. I do think hormones are making eating issues even wackier. lisa
