    Dear Rachel--24, Wow, so you have candida, too? I have not officially been diagnosed, but I am pretty sure I have it. I was doing a lot better for a few months on the gluten free diet, then a couple of months ago began feeling rough again, like before going gluten free. My doc told me I had a bacterial infection, but I was pretty sure it...

    Dear Deb, Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! Yep, my hair takes a while. I also get into disputes with it! Sometimes it gets to my food before I do! It really is scary, it eats stuff! Detangler is something that is sort of hard to get that you know is gluten free. I heard VO5 makes one. I am going to check out all of my products...

    Dear Deb, I have hair similar to yours. I really need a g.f. leave-in detangler. Any recommendations? My hair is very thick and course. I would really appreciate it! I cannot use a shampoo detangler all the time because my hair can take about three days to dry completely after being washed! (I told you it is thick!) ...

    Dear Sweetfudge, Congrats on the new job! The powdered gloves often have wheat starch. Be careful about those. The coffee maker is something that is kind of tough one. My father and I both drink coffee, but my mother often eats crackers over near there. She gets them on the counter, then Dad lays the basket down, and of course, I...

    Dear cjjolly, I am amazed at all of this! I had to diagnose myself too! I went gluten free as an experiment, and began feeling a little better. Though I had bloodwork done several years ago in late 2000, it came back negative. The thing is, I tried digestive enzymes, which should have helped if it was just gluten intolerance. So, am I...

    Dear TCA, This is so exciting! It sounds like your holiday season has been quite active. I am happy to say ours was a very calm holiday. We will continue to pray for your family. I am so sorry to hear your father had a stroke. Thank God he is recovering! Keep us updated! We will all be anxious until we know if Meg's cath went well. ...

    Dear mtdawber, My mother cannot tolerate MSG, and neither can my brother or my grandfather. People that have high blood pressure (all of these relatives) it particularly bothers. There are times it actually makes you feel like you are having a heart attack! I get gas from it, but nothing more, luckily. Some say MSG is derived from beets...

    Dear Looking for answers, I take acidophillus. I can definately tell a difference when I do not take it. I may have a yeast overgrowth, too. That can really wreak havoc on your digestive system. If you have that, a gluten free diet will only help temporarily, but then you begin feeling bad again. I still am gluten free, but it is not...

    Dear motherof6, My mother and I used to fight all of the time because of this. She just shoved me out the door and said "You'll be fine." She was not the one who was queasy and no one believed her. I take probiotics, and can tell you, they should do her no harm. The bacteria in your stomach multiplies every half hour. Some people...

    Dear Canadian Girl, It is great you found someone so wonderful! Maybe I should move to Canada, LOL! After what happened several years ago, it has been difficult for me to even think about being with a guy. You see, a guy I thought was my friend could have raped me. I got away, but do not know if I will ever stop looking over...

    Dear kboyssni, Maybe you are right. I am just kind of trying to deal with it on my own for now. It is frustrating. Having two parents that are not g.f. is hard enough. The idea of dating someone not like me is just as bad. Currently, with everything going on, I probably do not have time to date anyway! I had a really bad experience...

    Dear Marcia, As far as I know, L. stands for Lactobacillus. That is the genus of the bacteria. That means the strain it is unique to. This normally states what family it is from. I do not think it has anything to do with dairy. The most common source of it is yogurt, though. Sincerely, ...

    Dear AmandaD, I do not know about Dean's. I was wondering about their French Onion dip myself. I love that stuff with potato chips! Daisy is safe, I know that. Their Web site has it on there that all of them are gluten-free. That is good news, because I have to watch my fat intake, too. Having your gallbladder removed makes it incredibly...

    Dear bklynceliac, I know what you mean. I am 24 and feel like I have to live in a bubble to really be safe from gluten. It is everywhere! My mother is not understanding about it at all. She treats me like a hypochondriac. Dating is so not an option, either. What guy would want to date me? I cannot go out to eat anywhere! On the bright...

    Dear nini, The packets with the Kraft Easy Mac are separate from the box. Does that mean they are safe? That would be so good on that pasta I got from the healthfood store. I miss Mac'n cheese. It would be sooooooooo good! Sincerely, NoGluGirl

    Dear angel42, There are a couple of possibilities here. One is that they use charcoal with gluten for filtering. That is unlikely, though, due to their gluten-free status. However, there is another microscopic possibility. I heard some time ago that there is a microorganism that can make us very ill that can get through those filters because...

    Dear peasoup, I too, am a poor college student. I understand where you are coming from. There are ways to eat gluten-free and legume free without going broke. As others on the forum mentioned, the special breads and the like are very expensive. The good news is, I have some tips I would like to share that have been a great deal of help...

    Dear FiddleFaddle, It is everything I am dealing with right now. I do not forget about the Holocaust (in fact, I am extremely interested in the topic and have done reports on it in the past.) Believe me, people in my religion had their own situation similar to that. I feel the pain of these other people too. More than anyone...

    Dear gfpaperdoll, I am so sorry to hear about your nephew. He was probably one of the few good doctors there are. What you said about the age discrimination is true. My father had a hard time getting a job when he was laid off the year before last. When you are in your 50s, it is like no one cares. He is intelligent and had tons of experience...

    Dear Legg1999, Boy ain't it the truth! Duh Duh, duh duh, Bad Boy, Bad Boys, Watcha gonna do? He he! You wanna hear something hilarious about our police? There was a guy about a year or so ago who robbed a bank and made his getaway on a nine-year old's bike! Even more rediculous is they did not catch him! I heard the year I was born...

    Dear kathy2005, You probably got indigestion from the powdered vitamins due to the direct contact with the stomach. The ones in the capsules likely were enteric. That means they disolved in the colon instead as a result of the gel capsule coating. I am glad to hear you are doing better. It really is amazing how a small change can make...

    Dear legg1999, Everything you wrote is what goes through my mind (and likely everyone else) on this board on a daily basis. My family is not supportive much of the time. My mother has been a complete you-know-what the whole time. It makes me hate her. She eats things in front of me, and does not give it a second thought. I am furious....

    Does anyone know if Shaoxing rice wine is gluten free? If so, what brand? Or is there a dry sherry that is safe? I am asking because my recipe for Chinese food has soy sauce and sherry in the marinade. Many recipes require either sherry or shaoxing rice wine. Also, is Nakano rice vinegar safe, and has it always been? I would appreciate feedback. Thank...

    Dear Judy, I do have The Yeast Connection, by Dr. William G. Crook, among other books. Another good one is The Yeast Syndrome. Candida is caused by a number or things. Being on a lot of antibiotics is one primary cause. Using steroids (I used to need inhalers for my asthma) and birth control (I also have had ovarian cysts) are other well...
