    Dear cloesb, The Zone is very easy to follow on a gluten-free plan. Most of your carbs coming from fresh fruit and veggies definitely helps. I did it in the past, and my pants started getting looser within a few days! Their Web site www.zoneperfect.com is a great place to start. I got a bunch of books on Amazon as well. One of them I...

    Dear Munchkinette, Cornstarch is great, as the others said. There is a trick so it does not clump. You take about 1/4 cup of lukewarm water and stir the cornstarch in either with a whisk or chopsticks until nicely blended. Then you take it and pour that mixture into the rest. It will work out perfectly. I learned this from...

    Dear Shai76, I know exactly how you feel. I am going to miss my Grandma's Thanksgiving feast. Especially the sausage-sage stuffing! But, she and I talked recently and she asked if I would come to visit, even though she knows I cannot eat anything. I told her of course I want to see everyone! I am preparing my own feast and will eat that...

    Dear nini, I can relate to that. Doctors are always wrong. I almost had my gallbladder rupture inside of me before due to them saying the tests showed nothing. I found out through research those tests are only about 33 percent accurate. My doctor at the time was like "Well, that's true..." It was a good thing I saw the excellent surgeon. ...

    Dear SchnauzerMom, I was told the same thing, that I had IBS for a long time. I am like nini, I have lost all respect for the Wester medical community. I was drugged, accused of being crazy, forced to go to psychotherapy, you name it! Finally, part of the misery was removed after going gluten free. Though I have other health issues...

    Dear babygirl1234, I am so sorry to hear of your mother's death. I send my condolences. We are here for you. It is good one relative understands. Mine think it is rediculous. They do not have live in constant fear all of the time for being sick from food, either. As you said, caution is essential. ...

    Dear Monica, It sounds like you have an overgrowth of Candida Albicans in your system. Systemic yeast infections can make you terribly ill. It is a leading cause of digestive problems. I cannot eat bread with yeast, because it bloats me and irritates my colon and everything else. Try a gluten-free, yeast free bread if you can find one...

    Dear Anteau25, For the gluten, you will need a supplement that has the enzyme cellulase in it. Five really useful enzymes are cellulase, amylase, lipase, protease, and lactase. I take Phenergan if I get glutened. It is the only thing that stops me from getting the dry heaves to the point I would rather let someone kill me. I tried...

    Dear Sweetfudge, It might be a virus, but I have had that trouble with antibiotics. If it is in your lower abdomen, especially. I caught a virus a while back, and I got bad diarrhea and sort of queasy, but the colon trouble was rough for about four days. The bloating and aching is more likely to be antibiotic related in my opinion...

    Dear AmandaL, I have that fear too. I avoid vomiting whenever possible. It is horrible. I live in fear of stomach flus. I take Prilosec twice daily, 20mg. I do better now that I am not eating gluten. Even with all of that medication, it seemed to wear off after a short time when I ate anything with gluten. I got dry heaves so bad...

    Dear Anteau25, Those symptoms are exactly what I get when I get glutened. It is so miserable! It is amazing how such a small amount of the stuff can make us so sick! You certainly have me deepest sympathies! One member talked about food enzymes making their symptoms practically nonexistant when they are glutened! They said Transformation...

    Dear Ravenwoodglass, I tried E-Bay a few years ago, and had no luck at all. I ended up paying fees for products I could not sell. It has gotten so there are so many people on E-Bay that you cannot sell so easily anymore. I ended up losing money on that. Right now, I am setting up a Web site and a catalog I can e-mail people...

    Dear Sweetfudge, I use sweet rice flour. Cookies are my specialty. Cookies are my passion! I am looking for some g.f. casein free chocolate chips. Any recommendations? Chocolate chip is my favorite. I have a lot of my own recipes, and so far they turned out well. I got a Swiss Colony catalog the other day, and those foods are so...

    Dear nini, I am not surprised that you could get sick from inhaling it. I heard some perfumes contain gluten. That may be why they nauseate me. I have always been that way. My brother is like that, too. If they do not do that to me, they irritate my sinuses and make me sneeze or cough. My glutening reaction can take up to 12 hours to come...

    Dear Sweetfudge, Thank you for the hug. It makes me feel a bit better. Thai Kitchen brand sounds so good! If you could recommend some of their safe products, that would be great. I heard LaChoy is safe, is that true? I do cook my own food. I am the only one who ever cooks, does dishes or laundry. My parents are too lazy. They are...

    Dear casnco, That it was what I was planning to do. My room is too small, it is only 10 by 12, which is smaller than the shed at the top of the hill! Our dining room could be safe if I make it that way. I just think it is crap that everyone else is so selfish. This diet is my medicine. I need it. Sincerely...

    Dear Rachel, Thanks for the info. This is really interesting. I put the site in my favorites. As far as I know, I have never been bitten. My mother always inspected us after coming in from the outside. She even checked our scalps! After my cousin got sick, she was especially vigilant. Even so, it does not hurt to keep this in mind. ...

    Dear SweetFudge, It sucks being hypoglycemic. I get really sick from it, too. As long as I eat frequently it helps. There is a diet called the Zone that naturally balances your blood sugar. It is equal amounts of lean protein, carbs, and fat. I am currently badly addicted to sugar, and trying to get off of it. I need to eat...

    Dear Nantzie, My problem is my parents are not gluten free and I am. They are not careful. They treat me like I am paranoid. I told him, I cannot spend all day cleaning everything! I have been doing that for three months now, and it is exhausting! Plus, he complains that we do not have room for two of everything! The can opener is something...

    Dear TCA, We are so glad Meg is doing so well! She and her brother look like little dolls in their Halloween costumes! It is so encouraging to know that "our baby" as everyone on the thread calls her is tasting! I hope the cath lab goes well. Thank you so much for the pic and update! Keep in touch! ...

    Dear wdwmaggie, I just e-mailed it to you! I hope it is helpful! I completely understand where you are coming from. This essay was a lot of work, but worth it. It is quite fascinating in its pathology, really. If you want to know some books, I can definitely point you in the right direction. I bought a ton of them off of Amazon...

    Dear SweetFudge, I am so sorry to hear how ill you have been. I always seem to be sick on my birthday, too. I can so relate. This year will be tough, too since I have to go gluten-free. I am going to miss my usual cake! As far as the UTI goes, drinking two cups of cranberry juice daily helps kill that. Blueberry juice is better...

    Dear wdwmaggie, Have you been tested for an overgrowth of yeast? I may have that. Antibiotics irritate it. When yeast candida overgrows, it can cause over 100 different symptoms! It has even been linked to schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, autism, ADD, ADHD, fibromylgia, food allergies and sensitivities, ulcerative colitis, IBS...

    Dear Monica, That is exactly how I felt when being glutened as well. The nausea could just come out of nowhere. It got to the point I could not even leave the house for a long time. The reflux even with a double dose of Prilosec daily was so bad, I actually had to sleep practically sitting straight up! Since going gluten-free, it has...

    Dear valzues, There seems to actually be more candy and junk food we are allowed than healthy food! Go to Amanda's Mommy's Blog for a complete list of candies. To get you started, I chew Extra Sugar-free Bubblegum, and I love Butterfingers, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Andes, Junior Mints, as well as many others that are safe. Skittles are...
