    Yes, the bloat is often the first sign for me (I feel like I look 5 months pregnant and clothes are tighter. I have always been thin and don't like this feeling, admittedly.) It is then accompanied by many other lovely symptoms: left side pain, alternating constipation/diahrrea, left hip pain, cracked lips, joint pain tra la la.... I was anorexic at 1...

    Thank you very much! The soy might count me out but I will check into it, perhaps try it if I feel very brave. I am a hyper-sensitive, unfortunately. Take care, lisa

    Oh my goodness! Can you please educate me re: what is "glutenfreeda"? Are these dedicated oats? I MISS oatmeal! lisa

    To reply to Mkat re: breakfast for 2 years: I ate, believe it or not, a little steak (yuck! in the morning!) or a banana or rice cakes (Lundberg's) for 2 YEARS! I now eat Fage every morning often with nuts and raw sugar. My diet leans strongly toward the Paleolithic diet- I'm not a big fan of trying to replace baked goods- too many variables and possible...

    I react to Pamela's but I think it is the tapioca or one of the other grains in there; they are a dedicated facility. I am HIGHLY sensitive and I eat Fage every day and have for 2 years- it's okay. There are many of us on here who discover limiting or eliminating all grains works best at least for awhile. While healing it may be best to keep it simple to...

    I would sometimes define my left hip pain from cc as "excruciating", particularly at night- and I have lived through kidney stones and natural childbirth to a 10 pound baby! EVIL gluten! Other joints hurt and crack as well. Fun! lisa

    Jason, I hope you feel better soon. Believe me, I understand, working on 5 years in and VERY strict, I still get sick sometimes (like right now-ggrrrr.....) BUT! it does get easier and better and when I feel well it is worth the strictness. That said, I will tell you that my reaction is so intense and uncomfortable and painful that I am afraid of gluten...

    Lisa/MommaGoose, (There is an interesting new addition to your avatar... Fun!) lisa

    Janet, Can you educate me? Does joint compound routinely have gluten in it? lisa

    Wow- thank you everyone for your thoughtful responses- this is an amazing site. And thank you, Patti, for everything especially for catching that I spelled "wracking" wrong- I hate misspelling! (Not as much as I hate gluten...sigh) I will call Planter's and Enrico's and, Ranger, VERY interesting about the spinach...hmmmmm.....I will cut it out for now...

    Thank you, Ravenwoodglass, I'm very careful about products but I'm racking my brains to see if there's something new. Of course, being back at school in a high school is "new" since summer, but, I've worked there for 8 years and I don't THINK it's anything there. Yes, I always go back quite a ways because I know it can be something from a while ago. I...

    Deb and Sylvia Ann, Thank you both. Deb, I'll take out tomatoes for a bit to see if that's it- I did go nightshade free for two years and then successfully added a few back. (not white potatoes though!). I will check with Enrico's as well. Sylvia Ann, thank you for that insight as well. I eat almost NO processed food and have a detailed food log for...

    Hi, Sorry for the shameless plea for experienced sensitive help but I have been repeatedly glutened (I know my symptoms- if it isn't gluten, it's a brilliant impersonator)- last night I considered the emergency room for the first time in years! Trouble is, I really haven't had anything new to eat so I wondered if perhaps any of you could tell me if you ever...

    Thank you, Rachelle- that's good info to have! lisa
  15. oceangirl
    YES!!!!! No fun! lisa

    I know this is unbelievable but I am highly sensitive to gluten and discovered last spring I was getting gluten from McCormick's ground sage which I had just started putting in chicken. I KNOW my gluten symptoms- took it out and all was well. I now buy all my spices fresh, dry them myself and have not had any trouble with them. It doesn't take too long...

    Thanks, Peter! lisa

    Hi Guys, This is probably a stupid question but, if you are a "non-member" of the Gluten free Forum, when you are reading posts are you unable to see people's avatars or pictures? Just curious. Thanks! lisa
  19. oceangirl
    Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you I've been using both these products for year (over 4 years in to gluten free), make most of my own food from whole foods, never eat out and have a gluten free home- I'm pretty serious about the hellish gluten... lisa

    Hi! I know this as I've spoken with these companies but, I will tell you- I am a SUPER DUPER sensitive person when it comes to the evil gluten and I use both Purell and Germ-X LIBERALLY every day (I teach in a high school) and I do not believe it has EVER been a problem. And if there were gluten, believe me, I think I would know! That said, I am very conscientious...

    Wow! Thanks all for the bacon tips. Lane, I love your quote and avatar. lisa

    Hi. I'm very common- O+. And I've read A'Damo's book. And I find it curious that his suggestions for me as an O+ seem remarkably accurate. Is it scientific? No. (I'm a black sheep amidst a cerebral family of scientists...) But, it's anecdotally fascinating. lisa

    Once again, it's pricey but worth it if you are highly sensitive: Lancome Le Rouge Absolu lipstick line. I've used this for years with no problems- it also LASTS so you don't use as much. don't know about the others but I also like Ecco Bella available at Whole Foods. Good luck! lisa

    Over 4 years in, I now tolerate mushrooms but not lots and lots- in moderation. lisa
  25. oceangirl
    I am HIGHLY sensitive to gluten and Planter's mixed nuts, made by Kraft, (like the South Beach diet mix- not the roasted-I haven't tried those) have never given me any issues. I have eaten them almost daily for 2 years and I would know if there were any gluten. Just a thought...others will post, lisa
