    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    Happy New Year! And happy belated birthday, Florence! I'm joining you all with the anti-candida diet, or at least trying to. Not sure if I actually have a yeast overgrowth, but I just feel better when I treat myself for one. I'm gluten, soy, nightshade, poultry, legume, brassica (broccoli, cabbage, et al), coconut, brown rice, sunflower, artificial...

    OMG, I've been looking for a recipe like this...thanks for sharing!

    Rum and coke (regular or diet) is gluten free.

    I'm so sorry you're feeling bad! Just a suggestion: Maybe you've developed a new food intolerance? I started reacting to soy after being gluten free for one month. Then after 3 months, I started reacting to nightshades. At six months, it was legumes. Each time, it seemed to happen overnight. I'm at 10 months now, I still have to avoid those foods...

    When you figure out gluten is a problem ON YOUR OWN through an elimination diet, and you go to the Dr for a celiac blood test, and she says, "You don't have diarrhea. You can't have celiac disease unless you have diarrhea." When the blood test comes back negative and the Dr says, "See, I told you so. You have IBS. Let me give you a prescription." ...

    If you would feel more comfortable, by all means, replace the containers. That way you'll know for sure they are safe. I washed mine by hand in the sink, several times, with lots of soap, and several rinses. It's a smooth plastic, tupperware-style container with no scratches. I'm very sensitive to gluten and haven't had any problems. But I know not...

    Hi Kelli, I got glutened by a kiss once. My husband had eaten gluten about an hour before the kiss. Now he brushes his teeth before kissing if he's had any gluten. Better safe than sorry! As far as testing, I used an elimination diet to identify my intolerances.

    The blood tests I took while still eating gluten were negative. I did the Enterolab tests to placate my spouse, who was worried there might be something else besides gluten intolerance. You can see my results in my signature. I also found a GI that accepts Enterolab, by calling celiac support group leaders in my area. Again, I only went to make my husband...

    I'm sorry you feel bad, Courtney! I saw my dentist yesterday, first time since going gluten free. Very nerve-wracking. I was super paranoid, stressing I have allergies, allergies, and more allergies. Actually they are intolerances, but the dentist didn't seem to know the difference, and "allergy" makes them sit up and take notice. So anyway, I asked...

    Negative bloodwork while still on gluten. Enterolab results positive for gluten sensitivity and malabsorbtion. Positive dietary response. Then I went out and found a smart GI that knew the Enterolab and dietary response could only be caused by celiac disease. I voted for self-diagnosed, because I already knew what it was when I saw the GI.

    ARCHIVED Family

    Nooner replied to Marlene's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Bring your own plate of gluten free, tasty food that can be microwaved when you're ready to eat, and enjoy yourself. I'm going to be the devil's advocate here - your sister may just have been having a bad day. Or something else could have been going on. We all get wrapped up in our own dramas occaisionally. Don't write her off just yet. Take charge...

    ARCHIVED New Boyfriend

    How true! Congratulations!

    I use evening primrose oil for PMS mood swings/bloating, and Aleve for cramping.
  15. Nooner
    What a great idea, I'm going to have to try this!
  16. Nooner
    I've tried both the pancake and waffle recipies from the Gluten Intolerance Groups of Utah website, they are both fabulous. My gluten-eating, pancake-obsessed hubby declared he wouldn't be able to tell they were gluten free. I'll definitely be trying other things from their recipe website.

    ARCHIVED Soy

    Nooner replied to Kaycee's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut

    According to Wikipedia, cocoa beans are not really beans, but are non-legume seeds. Coffee and vanilla are also not legumes, even though in English we refer to them as beans. I get restless nights and anxiety from just a tiny amount of soy or any nightshades like potatoes or peppers. So instead of eating commercial chocolate bars, I now make fudge using...

    Lorka, Thank you for the reminder that not everything is good for everyone! I'm glad you figured out what was making you ill and stopped taking it. I would have asked my doctor about it, but her standard answer is to read the PDR, quote it, and say, "what do you think?" So I decided to skip that step and try it on my own. I took it for a few days...

    I've never made muffins out of this recipe...too lazy! Just guessing, but I think it would just take an adjustment to the baking time.

    I've been using quaker cornmeal with no problem. I just switched to goya because it was cheaper, and it's been fine, too. I use the recipe from the back of the quaker cornmeal container, and just add xanthan gum. Here it is: 1-1/4 cups flour 3/4 cup corn meal 1 teaspoon xanthan gum (optional) 1/4 cup sugar 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon...

    Ditto, everyone! You've all helped make this much more bearable! Happy Holidays!

    Don't risk glutening yourself! I think you have a great idea of picking up some gluten free food that will match what everyone else is eating. The only thing I would add is to talk to your in-laws first. Just let them know that you wish you could eat grandma's food, you don't want to be a bother, can't risk getting sick, feeling so much better now, looking...

    Thank you, thank you, thank you! I started taking L-Glutamine shortly after reading this post, and it seems to be helping. A lot. I haven't found a digestive enzyme yet that I can tolerate, but the L-Glutamine alone has been cutting down on my reactions from my other intolerances. And the last time I was glutened, the pain wasn't as bad. I've...

    Chocolate, definitely, after a glutening. Any sugar is good, but chocolate and sugar is better! I can't tolerate soy right now, so all commercial chocolate is out. I make fudge and keep it in the freezer for "emergencies". I also crave fatty foods when the intestinal pain gets bad...maybe the extra fat is soothing, or I just think it is. And cheese,...

    Maybe he should get a copy of Dangerous Grains for the holidays? Every time I read a thread like this I realize how lucky I am. My husband watched me get sick shortly after getting married and deteriorate steadily during the next 5 years. He rejoiced with me when I was diagnosed in August, and he works hard to keep the kitchen a safe zone. He does...
