    Dear Mia, I am so sorry to hear about your reaction! Rice cakes are HEINOUS! I hope your reaction goes away soon. That is such an unfair situation. It is difficult to deal with having sensitivities like these. Dear Susan, Man, are we in the same body? All of what you describe is what is wrong with me. I am either...

    Dear Stephanie, I went gluten-free 8 months ago. I had such severe reflux that I was taking two Prilosecs daily and still having to sleep sitting practically straight up. Now, I actually have times where not only can I skip my second pill, but can lie flat to sleep! It is like a miracle. That is on top of the stomach bloating and cramping...

    Dear scotty, Candida manifests in many ways. High carb diets definitely add to the burden. I get low blood sugar. That makes it difficult to go low-carb. Some other symptoms of yeast include: 1. Having a coated tongue (white usually) 2. Being fatigued 3. Ringing in the ears (Tinnitis) 4. Urinary problems 5. Rashes (eczema) 6. Acne 7...

    Dear Jerry, Congratulations on your success! I know how you feel about the boring food and food lust. I miss pizza, cookies, Big Macs, Chinese Takeout, but not enough to get sick from them! I have been gluten-free for 8 months! I never once have intentionally eaten the crap. As sick as it makes me, it is not tempting! Welcome to advanced...

    Dear Georgia Girl, My guess is you were accidentally glutened. It can take a while to recover. I will not chance eating out. My reaction is too violent. The gastric distress is too much for me! You may want to be careful with the fat amount as well. Celiacs often do not tolerate fats in large amounts. I lost my gallbladder several...

    Dear scotty, Vinegar does that to me, as well. I bet your trouble is Candida. I have it. I have to take Prilosec as well. It is a leading cause of reflux, as well as numerous other symptoms. Bladder problems also can be caused by it. Have you been on steroids or antibiotics a lot during your life? Those make Candida grow out of control...

    Dear Stephanie, Yes, you are addicted to gluten! It is common to be addicted to what you are allergic to! Isn't it scary? It is true many people with multiple food intolerances do not discover the others until they have been gluten free for a while. I may have others, as a matter of fact. Symptoms can progress with time. They do...

    Dear isiskingdom, I would not risk it either! If you are Celiac like me, no matter how small the amount of gluten, it will make you violently ill! It is so not worth it! I am on a tight budget as well, so that definitely complicates things. However, I have a solution that I believe is doable. There are relatively inexpensive bread...

    Dear Kassandra, I have a very violent reaction to gluten as well. I have to keep Promethazine on hand for the nausea. Despite their being no flour, you could have still been glutened. Cross contamination could be the trouble. Did you use the same utensils or mixing bowls, or baking pans you used for food prior to going gluten free? You...

    Dear Walter, I can relate to the close calls, too. I had one of those the other day. Have you tried taking anything for it? Ammodium AD is mentioned frequently on here. I hope you can start having more good days, soon. Sincerely, NoGluGirl

    Dear Rachel, I thought that Donna's pic was your yard, too! They look so much alike. They are both so beautiful! I could just imagine the wonderful smell of flowers. We have an Iris growing in the back of our house. Its blooms are too heavy, and it has tipped over! It has a wonderful scent to it! Regarding bunnies...

    Dear Everyone, Thank you for the compliments on my pic! It is so funny, because I actually had to take that pic myself! You can just see me, holding my camera out to myself! My mother was laughing. I was like "This is so not what it looks like!" Dear Rinne, It is terrific you have a place to work! This is terrific...

    Dear loco_ladi, Hopefully, I will get straightened out soon. Any improvement is welcome! I may have Lyme, Babesia, other food intolerances, and all kinds of other stuff! The weather thing is so funny. I know it is something I cannot do anything about. I grew up here, so it is nothing new. All you can do is be ready when the tornadoes...

    Dear Claire, Thanks for the compliments! Yeah, I looked like Nemesis (the Greek Goddess of vengeance) in that other pic! It is funny, because she is the one in the Hercules cartoon that always wants to smite everybody! Hades is hilarious, too! He is voiced by James Woods. Dear Rachel, It is so sad you had to give...

    Dear Carla, That would make sense. I do not feel as nauseated or tired on days I eat chocolate. Maybe I should go get some Nature Made? I do not take a multi. I probably should. If I am having malabsorption, I do not know if it will help. It is worth a try, though. Dear Donna, I am like you, there! I do not bother painting...

    Dear loco_ladi, Our Standard Schnauzer we used to have was afraid of storms! They sense when severe weather is coming. They know. They sense when the barometric pressure drops. We live in Tornado Alley, so it has not been a week unless a tornado has hit! I can always tell the people from out of town, because they freak when it...

    Dear Carla, I bet I do have Lyme. My parents still do not think that is it. I see my doc next month. I am NOT going to let the dog get groomed and me not go to the doc this time! Personally, I do not think my mother wants to hear how serious this disease it. However, that is tough crap! I am not well, and am determined to get better...

    HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO RACHEL, CARLA, ROBBIN, PATTI, MIA, LAURA, JUDY, CHERYL, ANDREA, BEV, AND DONNA AND EVERYONE ELSE! Dear Rachel, Thanks for the shout out! Poor Dart had a seizure today. He was doing so much better. It may take a bit for them to completely go away. For the most part, the Potassium Bromide, Lactulose, and Amoxil...

    Dear ravenwoodglass, My hair was its natural color when I dyed it with the henna. You also could lose your hair if you switch dyes. I think no matter what, people should do a patch test. My mom and grandmother were both hair dressers. There are things you need to be careful about! Sincerely, ...

    Dear Rinne, You probably would have to test them to see if you tolerate them. You know how that goes. When your body rejects food, what else can you do? We are in such a precarious position when it comes to eating. Most people never have to think about it, you know? Man, I am always hungry! Not much fills me up. The Rinne Bar Rx, just...

    Dear Paula, I use Waterworks. They contain no ammonia or peroxide, either. They are easier on your hair. I get my dye at Sally's Beauty Supply. These are henna dyes, however. You cannot use those if you use a straightening iron, because it will make your hair fall out. So could using a dye with gluten, though if you have DH. ...

    Dear Donna, I know how you feel. I had a negative biopsy and endo, as well as blood tests. However, my holistic physician diagnosed me with Celiac. I have a typical history, too. I am of Irish descent, I have been anemic, had eczema, Thyroid disease, lost my gallbladder at 20 years old, as well as I have had digestive troubles that were...

    Dear Jerry, It is wonderful that you were able to reduce your dosage again. Like many other posters on this thread, I too, had bad experiences trying to get off of these pills. I do not know if I will ever get off of the AD I am on now. Those jerks up at IU got me stuck to it. I was weaned off of Paxil, but still had withdrawal. Jitters...

    Dear Rinne, Yep, the rice paper wrappers are exactly what I am talking about! You use them for Spring Rolls as well. I want to make some pork spring rolls. Those will be so good! I have a plan! I am glad we are all a part of this forum too! We have a loving relationship with all in Rachelville! That is healing in itself....

    Dear Rinne, You asked earlier what Rangoon is. This is a Chinese snack or appetizer. You take a rice skin, and fill it with a mixture made of cream cheese, crabmeat (or shrimp), scallions, and a little garlic. It is folded somewhat like a wonton. They are normally fried, but you could steam them, too. They are really good! I always enjoyed...
