    I was able to completely eliminate it by cutting out dairy as well and taking good, quality enzymes and probiotcs with each meal. For the first time in 15 years, it's not a problem for me!!!

    Hey there, I'm no expert either, but I had just about the same scores you have when I was tested four months ago. I do not want to be put on medication, so I've been seeing a naturopathic doctor. He suggested I have problems with adrenal exhaustion, which can led to immune system dysfunction, low thyroid, etc. Anyways, he ran a test and it turned out that...

    Hi, I've had trouble with dizziness for years. Every time I stand up too fast, I get really dizzy and everything turns black. I have to stop and grab a wall and then it resolves in about 3-5 seconds. Is this what you are experiencing? If so, I ended up finding out that I have adrenal exhaustion, which is a common side effect of gluten intolerance (because...

    May I make a few suggestions? I went through all of this as well. I think you need to focus on repairing your intensitnal track, and the first place to start with this is to eliminate ALL processed foods for a while. If you have blood sugar problems and don't eat meat (I used to be a vegan too and didn't eat meat), you really need to be sure you're getting...

    Try the line by Brenda Watson...those work the best for me. I think the brand is New Life.

    I also suffered from horrible gastritis for nearly a year. Licorice root helped aid the acute pain, but it was ridding all points of inflammation in my diet that really ultimately cured it. This meant eating mostly whole foods and taking supplements like L-glutamine, Omega 3'a. probiotics and digestive enzymes. I also quit taking synthetic vitamins and started...

    I have an appointment to see a specialist next week to help me out with my diet. I felt terrific for a long time but recently started get C again. Anyways, maybe you should consider a rotation diet (without gluten, of course) and see if you feel better. Check out what I've read on his site.

    I'm having the same trouble but on the left side. I had a ultra-sound done two days ago but everything looked normal, my doctor said. It doesn't feel normal, so I'm frustrated. I do know I have a hiatal hernia, so maybe that's it. You may want to try the symptom checker on Web MD . . . that might help you scope out the possibilities. I hope you feel better...

    Awesome! Thanks for the dining tip!

    Just wanted to report that I was thrilled to open the Orange County Register today to find an article about gluten intolerance. The article talked about how gluten intolerance is becoming more "common" and restaurants that cater to Celiacs have a "cult-like" following. It was a great article and I was glad to see it as the lead story on a Sunday! Also...

    Hey Ladies-- I've meant to get back here to post my progress, but haven't until now. I stopped taking birth control pills three months ago and am thrilled to report that my period is is light and pain-free since going gluten free. For any women out there who have had the same problems I experienced, you may want to consider getting off the pill if you...

    I'm 28 and have a hiatal hernia. It causes major issues every now and again--GERD, stomach pain, gastritis, etc. It only "flares" up when I eat certain foods or when I'm under a LOT of stress. That's when gastritis kicks in. Once I get the culprit food out of my diet and relax, it will go back down. I can feel pressure in my upper abdomen when I bend over...

    I'm addicted to the spicy chicken salad but I always get my without spice. The best!

    A lot of us have experience the same problem. Dairy causes bad gas for me so I've eliminated it, and soy too. I've notice now that the only thing that causes flare-ups is some refined foods. I try to eat whole foods only, and take enzymes and probiotics.

    I love quinoa. I buy it by the box from Trader Joes. We normally cook it with vegetable broth and it's soo yummy. We pair it with chicken and fish as a side dish. Last week I took quinoa and used it as a base and added chicken, broccoli, mushrooms, tomatoes, bell peppers and tossed it with italian dressing. It was a terrific lunch all week.

    Thanks for the post . . . I just completed the survey and it took only five minutes!

    I get coconut milk at Trader Joes and it's reasonably priced. My husband and I are both dairy-free. We find the mediterranean hummus sold at Costco is a must-have for us now. We mix it in rice, use it to stuff mushrooms, add salsa to it for amazing dip, etc. The rich, creamy texture it has is a great substitute.

    Quick and easy meals. I miss the days of throwing a casserole together and calling it a day! I've been searching for a book like the one you're putting together. Please let us know when it's available!

    I recommend reading "The Diet Cure" by Julia Ross. I think the book contains information and advice on supplements that will help you get through this. Best of luck!

    Thanks for sharing. I haven't tried the restaurant yet, but you've peeked my interest. I'll give it a try and will post back. Thanks again!

    I totally agree. I take Inderal before I have to do public speaking. It takes the edge off, dosen't make me tired, and steadies my nerves so I can focus on my presentation and not my anxiety.

    Just read this in the paper and thought I would share this with everyone: WASHINGTON (AP) -- Foods made without a protein found in wheat, rye and barley could be labeled gluten-free under a proposed rule released Monday by federal health officials. The proposal would allow companies to voluntarily flag foods without the cereal protein, which can cause...

    Sorry for the delayed response . . .haven't checked the board in a few days. I visited the LB Aquarium and ate at the PF Changs next door and had no problems. Have you ever tried Pei Wei in Irvine (on Jeffrey and Alton) or Newport Beach (Off McArthur)? It's a sister chain of PF Chang's and is really good . . .they have a couple gluten-free options, the Spicy...

    The Whole Foods in Tustin, California puts red tags on all items that are gluten free, next to the price. So as I scan up and down the aisles, I just look for the tags and can find food so simply. I wish all the stores offered this because it's second best to having dedicated aisle.
