    it is your decision but I would quit eating gluten immediately. If you are interested in any testing I would test thru Enterolab.com I like them & tested my family there. You can be gluten free for up to a year or two & not effect the outcome of the tests. They also do the gene tests... with your strong neurological depression, anxiety, etc...

    Hi Kate, are you eating grains? What is your typical diet? Did you give up dairy? did you give up soy? do you eat some of the superfoods often? Like berries, kale, sweet potatoes, broccoli, cabbage, carrots etc Sorry, you are still having problems. Have you ever driven into Houston for one of our meetings? wow, maybe you could car pool with the...

    Ok I just had to reply because I feel SOOOOOOOOOOOOOo sorry for the people out there, including you, that are getting this load of... from their doctors. Then when you got to the IBS part I really was losing it thinking of all the little old ladies in the nursing home that are dying by the day with the gluten loaded nutritionless glob that they are being...

    Did the baby sitter cook with any flour while your daughter was there? Did the sitter touch some wheat & then touch your daughter's food? her glass? was the table free of crumbs?... If you really have a lot of pets, is the pet food gluten-free? If not is causes cross contamination - the stuff will be everywhere. also, double check everything, it...

    Tammy did you read my link to Glutamates & MSG? I think I gave it to you on another post, where I talked about all the common food problems. Please be aware of "natural flavoring". It zaps me every time. I had some Whole Foods 365 brand sweet pickles with "natural flavoring" ate three pickles & I did not time it but I got a severe pain jolt...

    You will also need to get a new chopping board, wooden spoons, pasta strainer, anything that is porous including non stick pans & cast Iron skillets - the gluten gets in there & stays until it comes in contact with your food. Just to let you know it took me a couple of years to believe I had to get rid of my cast iron skillet. Because I was mostly...

    The secret is to cook one day & freeze a bunch of stuff. I always keep chopped chicken in the freezer. & the chicken stock from boiling the chicken - strained & ready for soup or freeze in two cup portions to use to cook rice or pastaetc. I make my salads in an oblong tupperware container that fits in my lunch kit. I will line up &...

    "So Because I really can't afford to get sick from going on a gluten-filled diet (because I'm about to start the last semester of my teaching degree with extra subjects), what do I do? Should I just continue the gluten free diet and that's it? Because I do wonder about the 'it's all in my head' aspect and it makes me doubt it all. " well the gut does...

    Actually, if you do not eat any grains your heart health will be perfect as well as your cholesterol. & corn syrup is the worst for clogging up your arteries. If you want to see some real information about food & your health & the myths that the government & the pharmaceutical companies have touted read the book "Good Calories Bad Calories...

    You might not be completely gluten free, do not eat any Quaker oats Rice Cakes. Have you checked all your meds? are you cooking with flour? & other gluten? have you checked your personal care products, lotions etc.? are you washing your hands before you touch your food? did you get a new cutting board & replace other porous items in your...

    well your meal does not even sound good. I knew a gluten-free guy that had a boring diet. He almost cried when I started taking him lunches & pie etc. Lifted him right out of his food depression. Maybe what you need is a menu overhaul. I love all my meals & would rather have them that eat out. & I do eat out a lot sometimes - I work &...

    yes, I love dogtorj & I agree with all his writings - too bad he is treating dogs & not kids - but I am sure he is healping many people... quote from your thread: "Would a gluten-free diet be considered a "grain free" diet? I used potato, tapioca, rice, sorghum, corn flours. She is so much happier with some bread and treats. She does eat corn...

    welcome to the world of me & my family - double DQ1. First most people that have a biopsy do not get a gene test. Second if they do get a gene test they test thru a lab that only tests for DQ2 & DQ8, you will never know if you have a DQ1 or DQ3 or any of the other ones. When I tested at Enterolab I think they were only one of two labs in...

    He probably really is hungry. When first gluten-free a lot of people have a huge appetite. It happened to a friend of mine - she is 83 & once gluten-free - a couple of months ago - her appetite picked way up & she would eat anything. She went from not eating anything except a little something once a day to eating 2 eggs, 2 corn tortillas, &...

    Hi, I am not Ursa, but I am a fan of hers, does that count??? Gliadin, I believe is the protein in the wheat that gives us all the problem. Open Original Shared Link here is one of my favorite sites for information on glutamates. Scroll down to the bottom of the screen & you will see the pictures of food & the amount of glutamates. ...

    Boars Head Deli meats are gluten-free & you can buy as many slices as you need. pick up some baby carrots, a small piece of broccoli, some salsa (almost all are gluten-free, read label), some Mission Brand Corn Chips & a couple of pieces of fruit & you have lunch. I just eat my deli meat rolled up & dip in any salsa or dip. I do not attempt...

    well I am not in a great frame of mind since I just spent the day at a nursing home watching all these little old ladies eating gluten slop three times a day. Well their food might be one teeny little step above slop, but not much. I might be able to save my friend but I am afraid all the other women are doomed - & believe me a lot of them are classic...

    Joint pain should go away once you are gluten free. You might also need to be dairy & soy free. You might also try not drinking orance juice - it is bad on the joints. Okay to eat an orange... 100% welch's grape juice diluted is one of my favorites. Some people also find that they need to be mostly grain free. I feel much better grain free....

    It is possible to have a wheat allergy and be gluten intolerant & or have celiac disease. I am gluten intolerant with two DQ1 genes, but I have also been allergic to barley & oats for the past 40 years. I might also be allergic to wheat but have not been tested lately. I know it is a genetic problem, because I can trace it back in my family...

    are you maybe talking about acne rosecea? & yes, mine went away once gluten-free & yes I used to take an anti-biotic for it.

    They do not have a gluten free menu, I eat their beans & rice, plank grilled salmon, shrimp cocktail, they also have baked potatoes, & they will make you plain grilled shrimp. I am sure you can get other plain grilled stuff... They have other sides, but I am not sure what they are. Fries are not gluten-free. but beware if you eat at Pappasitoes...

    Since you have high iron, please get tested for Hemochromatosis - it is also a genetic illness & goes along with some people that have celiac - well I think that the way it works is that if you have Hemochromatosis - chances that you also have celiac are like 90%. the only people that I know that have Hemochromatosis also have celiac. It is important...

    I do not know anything in the Northwest Side. Central Market has never even had a gluten-free section must less 8 Feet!! Do you have a Whole Foods up there? a Kroger signature store? In Austin the Kroger stores & the HEB stores have a lot of gluten-free foods. I think Central Market would be worth the trip from where you are. I would make it...
