    From Ancient Nutrition: "I hope you're doing well! Our products are not Certified Gluten Free or Grain Free at this time which is why we do not include that on the label. With that said, many of our products will have Gluten Free listed under the Dietary Restrictions, if there are less than 20ppm of gluten."

    I guess the gluten came from barley. There is nothing on the label stating that there is any kind of gluten in the formula, which is telling me that this company is not one that I care to do business with.

    Well, I stand corrected on Ancient Nutrition Bone Broth Powder. I really don't like that company now. They said it their FAQs that the formula was paleo and grain free. then I emailed and question why then don't have "gluten free" OR even "paleo" on the container and they write back saying oh, the Bone Broth Powder is not gluten free! Never buying...

    Could be dairy. I get bloated from dairy.

    I myself got bleeding when I tried to start eating grains again other than wheat. I have a grass allergy. All grains are grasses. I stay off grains and have no bleeding problems

    I cannot eat Hershey's chocolate anymore. I'm gluten intolerant and the last few years, I would get a reaction to Hershey's. They started using a lot of junky chemicals to save money. I can eat Lily's chocolate which is sugar free. I am also grain free.

    I don't do well on wine either. It used to give me migraines, but since I've stopped eating grains, I can tolerate it much better. I do best on imported organic red wine.

    I like Ancient Nutrition Bone Broth Powder. Comes in Vanilla and Chocolate. No grains and Paleo.

    That's really interesting because gluten acted like a sleep drug on me. I was always sleeping from it. I'd fall asleep watching tv all the time. Lethargy, no energy..couldn't wake up in the morning.. Now since I'm off gluten, so much better..even in the morning I can wake up better. I can stay awake to watch a movie, and I have more energy to do things...

    It seems that since I've given up gluten, I'm more intolerant to dairy than I was! It really affects my sinus. I've been trying to cut it out. I tend to get anxiety attacks when I stop it. So right now, I'm taking two college courses and I can't afford to lose sleep due to anxiety.. so I'm cutting it down slowly...trying to wean myself. It's harder to get...

    Are you female? Are you in menopause? When I started menopause, I gained 30lbs. Now 4 years later, my weight is starting drop again. I'm following a very low fat vegetarian diet no junk food. Are you low fat? I only allow myself a few tablespoons a week of evoo. I try to follow McDougall, I eat a lot of potatoes because I gain very easily from rice or gluten...

    I think you should get your vitamin D levels checked first. Low vitamin D levels mean low bone density. I tested at 26 and normal levels are over 50 . With that I had a bone density test and I have osteoporosis. I'm 54. I already shrunk an inch from it. I was 5'7 now I'm 5'6.

    ARCHIVED Burning In Upper Stomach

    Mayflowers replied to Mayflowers's topic in Doctors

    Thank you for your reply. My primary doctor wanted to put me on prilosec but I read that those acid reducer drugs are causing bone trouble like fosomax and Boniva. I was diagnosed with osteoporosis so I'm afraid to take that stuff, though sometimes the pain causes me to take a Pepcid to relieve the burning. My ND said that there are other bacteria that can...

    ARCHIVED Burning In Upper Stomach

    Mayflowers posted a topic in Doctors

    I have burning in my upper stomach. I was blood tested negative to h pylori. I had an Upper GI Study done which showed only a hiatal hernia. Would the GI show an ulcer as well or would one have to have an endoscopy done. I can't even drink red wine now because of the burning. Is there other bacteria that can cause the same type of burning? Thanks..
  15. Mayflowers
    OMG, I have the same burning..! It's in the upper stomach..not located in one spot. It feels like my whole upper stomach is burning. I got a blood test for H pylori and it came back negative. Either it's old age or it's gluten intolerance. The last time I went gluten free, I was getting acid reflux and painful pressure but not burning. I'm going to go...

    I disagree. I think this person is have a reaction to their clothes detergent. I get the same itching from my clothes when I use certain brands of detergent. I also found it was the old washer machine because it wasn't rinsing the clothes well (Kenmore) I bought a new whirlpool washer and the difference was amazing. No itching. I also found that using Borax...

    Hi, I have no real lower intestinal symptoms but I have insane indigestion, burning in my stomach, shortly after eating wheat and acid reflux. Those are my symptoms that stop as soon as I stop eating wheat. But it's weird. I can go a while and eat wheat with no digestive symptoms and all of a sudden BOOM! Every time I eat it, I get burning and indigestion...

    When you stop gluten, your absorption greatly improves which means you absorb calories much more efficiently. They don't mention that for us overweight celiacs. So actually weight loss is more difficult for me since I stopped eating wheat. Much slower. I still have 25 more to go. Menopause isn't helping either. I'm following the Genotype diet sans grains...

    You also didn't mention how old you are. Sorry, not trying to be rude, but age is a major factor in weight loss. I'm 51, and starting menopause. I've been stuck at the same weight plateau for a year. I just started Bio Identical Hormone Therapy (BHRT) to assist in getting the weight off. My doc said being unable to lose weight is a testosterone deficiency...

    Perhaps the caseine intolerance is more an allergy and the wheat intolerance is a inherited genetic disorder?

    Duck eggs? Sounds good. I thought an egg was an egg is an egg no matter what bird it comes out of. Did anyone ask Dr. Fine about that? As I mentioned the Enterolab is not recognized in some states as reliable but when I stopped eating wheat at least 3-4 times in the last few years to see if I had a wheat allergy and I didn't feel any different,...

    I asked Enterolab because I came up intolerant to everything: gluten, eggs, soy, dairy... I complained to them that I have nothing left to eat! They said I could eat egg yolks. The protein that I'm intolerant too is in the egg whites.. I can also have whey protein. Caseine is a different protein in dairy than whey. I said, wow, thanks. I'm not...
  23. Mayflowers
    I was born with a milk allergy and my Enterolab tests came back positive for caseine. Look at the bright side...we can still have whey. Enterolab said it's the caseine that causes the problem.

    ARCHIVED Insomnia

    Mayflowers replied to willow's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    I used to sleep great but since I've passed 45, I've been waking more and more often during the night. I don't feel rested and I'm tired all the time. I went to a web site www.innertalk.com and I ordered a subliminal tape Sleep Soundly. The first night I listened to the muisc for 30 mins before bed time and I fell asleep fast and woke only twice, compared...
