Dear Legg1999, I know exactly how you feel! I am going through the gluten-free depression as well. I have been gluten-free for about five months now. It is frustrating because I cannot afford any of the tasty stuff. It is all so expensive. Soy cheese is scary in price! I miss flavor as well. A yummy thing with taste is Classico Sweet...

Dear Marlene, It sounds like those drops have caused a Herxheimer reaction. That yeast die-off lasts a while sometimes. The good news is that is how you know it is working and killing it. Candida also is tough to kill, and the diet must followed very strictly. You have to limit your carbohydrate content to between 60 and 80 grams daily...

Dear Monica, I get reflux when I am glutened as well. It was so bad before I went gluten-free that I had to practically sleep sitting straight up! The stomach cramps, poking pain all over the abdomen, bloating, difficulty losing weight, and unrelenting nausea are all problems I have experienced besides getting the runs. I too, have tried...

Dear Judy, That low body temp could indicate a slow thyroid. I have had thyroid problems for quite a while now. It is either too slow or too fast! Right now, it seems to be hyper. That is common with candida. Also, I have done a lot of research about it, and bought so many books I cannot possibly count them. I even wrote an essay on it...

Dear Marlene, Are you and me living in the same body? I had my gallbladder out about 3 1/2 years ago. Even after, I was still having nausea that was like morning sickness (smells make you sick, like perfume, food, etc.) severe acid reflux despite taking double the dosage of proton pump inhibitors, and pain in the stomach. It improved for...

ARCHIVED Need To Vent
NoGluGirl replied to WalksonWater's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Dear WalksonWater, I know what you mean. It is exhausting! I am very sensitive, though I am supposedly only gluten intolerant. The thing is, I had tests six years ago that came out negative. However, food enzymes did not help at all. If I am not a celiac, then how come a gluten-free diet is the only thing that helped? I... -
ARCHIVED My Boss Just Made My Day!
NoGluGirl replied to Marlene's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Dear Marlene, It is so great your boss is so considerate! As I see, your family is as inconsiderate as mine. No one understands this unless they have to worry about it all of the time! It sucks. I am so tired of worrying about every little thing. It is like being paranoid. But, it is either that, or get violently ill. Which would most... -
ARCHIVED Has Anyone Heard Of The Chocolate Emporium?
NoGluGirl posted a topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Dear Fellow Gluten-Free Buddies, I got three cake mixes from the Chocolate Emporium. I have my first gluten-free birthday Saturday. I am excited! This is going to be so good! They even have gluten-free chocolate perfume! Their food items include peanut butter cups and all kinds of other wonderful gluten-free casien free confections... -
ARCHIVED Land Of Lakes >>>
NoGluGirl replied to zachsmom's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Dear zachsmom, This is wonderful news! Thank you so much for posting! This is really exciting! We count as people now! Cool isn't it? You know I saw a special on the Food Network about using Boar's Head products to make nice gifts for people. That would be great for a fellow gluten-free friend! Land O'Lakes stuff seems great... -
ARCHIVED Aaaah! Glutened Twice This Week!
NoGluGirl replied to Sweetfudge's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Dear Sweetfudge, I feel for you! I can so relate (as can all of us on the forum). It is a pain. My parents are not gluten-free. My mother treats me like a hypochondriac. Dad is coming around a bit more now. She has always been convinced that I am crazy, though. She is obsessed with it. She labels everyone with some form of... -
ARCHIVED Gluten Free Oats
NoGluGirl replied to floridanative's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Dear ArtGirl, My reactions are sometimes as long as 12 hours! I hope you get back to us on this! I would love some gluten-free oatmeal cookies! My mom's meatloaf recipe has oats in it! I have not had meatloaf since going gluten-free about four months or so ago! Sincerely, ... -
ARCHIVED My Vitamins Are Not Digesting
NoGluGirl replied to kathy2005's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Dear Kathy, This is likely a result of severe malabsorption. I do not know if it will help, but it is a possibility you could take digestive enzymes. That could help you break down the food. That seems to be your trouble. I hope this makes sense. Sincerely, ... -
ARCHIVED Frustrated With Baking Products..just Frustrated
NoGluGirl replied to snapple's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Dear snapple, I definitely relate to you! I worry about everything because of gluten intolerance. I am going to be 24 the 16th, and I am still stuck living with my parents due to these health issues. I have Fibromyalgia, a possible yeast overgrowth, bad teeth, thyroid trouble, and eczema. Doing anything and going anywhere makes me a... -
ARCHIVED I Just Got Glutened For The 1st Time. . .
NoGluGirl replied to ptkds's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Dear ptkds, I usually take as long as 12 hours, but it depends on the food probably. I have been gluten-free for four months or so now. I got glutened the other week, and I was so ill. It is absolutely miserable. Thank God for Phenergan! Sincerely, NoGluGirl -
ARCHIVED Asian Markets
NoGluGirl replied to TinkerbellSwt's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Dear Felidae, I know exactly how you feel. I love Chinese food! I have not had any since going gluten- free about four months or so ago. I miss it so much! My wok is needing seasoned. I am afraid to season it though, because I need to do a rotation diet, and do not want to find out I am allergic to a specific oil and have to get a new... -
ARCHIVED Asian Markets
NoGluGirl replied to TinkerbellSwt's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Dear Felidae, I am extremely sensitive, too. I am paranoid careful. I too, buy rice flour and noodles from the Chinese market. As you said, wheat is not grown in every part of China. In fact, the southern Cantonese region eats primarily rice. In northern China, they eat wheat noodles more often with their meals. Being careful with soba... -
ARCHIVED Megan's Gagging Isn't Any Better
NoGluGirl replied to TCA's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Dear VydorScope, Thank you for the update. Poor little Meg! We will keep pulling for her. A prayer chain might help. I will try to get a hold of a bunch of people! Sincerely, NoGluGirl -
ARCHIVED Need A Leave-in Detangler!
NoGluGirl replied to NoGluGirl's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Dear Everyone, I really appreciate your help, here. Some of these brands do not come up around here. Even K-Mart left our town. That is just downright pathetic! LOL! No one likes Evansville! V05 sounds like the best option. Neutragena is widely available, thank goodness! Sincerely, ... -
ARCHIVED Very Shakey, Almost Low Blood Sugar Feeling...
NoGluGirl replied to a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Dear bluejeangirl, I have been doing extensive research on yeast candida for a year now. I cannot honestly tell you how many books I have read on it. I have it. In my research, it has been noted that alcohol dependency is likely caused by an overgrowth of candida. This is usually a result of being on numerous antibiotics (this can... -
Dear elaine33, You could have a delayed reaction. Be careful. Delayed reactions are common with Celiac and gluten intolerance. It can take up to three days before you become ill from allergic food. There are times it took me twelve hours before I got so ill. However, it also depends on your sensitivity to gluten. My doctor told...

ARCHIVED Need A Leave-in Detangler!
NoGluGirl posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I have really long, course, thick hair. I need a leave-in detangler that is gluten-free. It also must be okay for color treated hair, because I dye it black. This is very difficult. Also, does anyone know of readily available gluten-free of the following: Face powder Concealer Liquid foundation And, does anyone know... -
ARCHIVED Attack Sent Me To The Er By Ambulance Today!
NoGluGirl replied to Electra's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Dear sillyak, My mother has taken compazine. It is from the same family of drugs as Phenergan (Promethazine). It does not make you as sleepy as Phenergan. Promethazine has been my saving grace. When I got glutened last week, I really was sick. Thank God for this pill! One thing with both the Compazine and Promethazine is, stay out... -
Dear newg, I am gluten intolerant and nausea has been my primary symptom. It is so hard to deal with. Since you have damage, chances are, the nausea you are still experiencing is due to your small intestine not being healed yet. It can take months or even years for it to completely heal if the damage is really bad. On top of the nausea...

Dear cmom, It is good to hear from you again. Thank you for the update. Still, all of my tests came out negative for the Celiac as well as the gallbladder, and they were wrong. Doctors today do not use common sense. I went through a lot of misery I may never mentally recover from. However, all I can do is warn others. They must use their...

ARCHIVED Attack Sent Me To The Er By Ambulance Today!
NoGluGirl replied to Electra's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Dear Electra, I am gluten intolerant, and have experienced pain like that. It is like a poking pain all over my stomach. I had so much gas, I thought I was having a heart attack! Last week, I got glutened somehow. My parents leave crumbs everywhere, and I am paranoid careful, so it is anyone's guess what did it. I sometimes take up to...
