    I have done that before, use something and then remember the label afterwards. It's just a habit that we all have to develop. Hope you feel better soon.

    I have had a problem with mind chatter at night. Not every night, just occasionally. But, it keeps me awake most of the night. It is less frequent since I went gluten free but it still happens once in a while. It helps if I memorize something, like a Bible verse for example. Then repeat it to myself and that calms things down.

    It's good to know that Olive Garden has gluten free stuff. I never dreamed that they would. That waitress deserves an extra big tip. Especially for being informed on gluten free and for standing by you. There is nothing worse than seeing a grownup throwing a tantrum and that is basically what your grandmother did. Has to have her own way, I guess...

    Even though she didn't react right away to the Thanksgiving meal she may be reacting to it now.

    I'm sorry your dad is so insensitive. Obviously the second family is more important than the first. You have your own family now, you and your husband. Concentrate on that.

    Hi, I'm glad you joined us. I agree with everyone try the gluten free diet. It won't hurt you and chances are good that it would help. It takes a while to learn but there is a lot of information here to help you.

    I have been gluten free for about 1 1/2 months. I can really tell a difference when I accidentally get some gluten.

    I love baked things, bread, bagels, etc. Whenever I crave something that I can't have I just remind myself how sick the gluten makes me and that pretty much takes care of the craving. I'm also learning to bake with gluten free flours. The taste is different but still good.

    Hi, I'm glad you joined us. I'm fairly new too. My husband and I have been gluten free since the middle of October. We are becoming experts at reading labels. It was hard because we both love baked goods. Nothing better than fresh baked whole wheat bread. But it causes painful acid stomach in both of us. I'm learning to bake with alternative flours...

    I used to have that shakey feeling quite often. I would also feel light headed and sick. But since I've been gluten free I haven't experienced it.

    Hi, I'm glad you joined us. My hubby and I have been gluten free since the middle of October. We weren't diagnosed with celiac but we discovered that gluten is definitely a problem for both of us. We both feel so much better without it. We loved breads and most baked things. I'm learning to make things with alternative flours. The taste is different...

    Welcome! I'm glad you decided to join us. I and my husband have been gluten free since the middle of October. Not very long but we both can tell the difference. This place has been very helpful, loads of info.

    I have the Gluten Free for Dummies book and it has helped me a lot. Tremendous amount to information in it. I learned about this website from that book.

    The main thing for me is no more acid stomach. I was beginning to think there was something seriously wrong with my stomach but since I've been off gluten my stomach has been happy. Also, less gas not as irritable not so easily depressed no cramps My DH's two main problems were acid reflux and gas both of which have calmed down since being off gluten...

    I'm still learning too. Gluten seems to be everywhere. I hope you feel better soon!

    My dog (a mini schnauzer) is allergic to wheat. She throws up if she eats anything with wheat in it.

    What a terrible thing to happen at Thanksgiving. Hope you feel better soon!

    If you feel better on a gluten free diet then I suggest staying on it no matter what the tests results are. I never had tests done. I just know when I eat gluten eventually (not always right away) I feel sick and it lasts several hours to several days. Acid stomach, cramps, IBS, gas, etc. When I stay off gluten I feel great.

    Soy in some of its forms bothers me too. I made some cookies from soy flour and I thought I was going to die, stomach and intestinal pain, bloating, gas. It took a couple of days for everything to calm down. I tried soy milk and it gives me gas but not as bad as the flour. So far soy lecithin and soybean oil don't bother me. I guess it depends on how...

    Thanks for that info, I would like to try it.

    Whenever I start longing for something that I can't have anymore I remind myself how it makes me feel after I eat it. So far that has helped. I loved bread, especially multi grain bread but when I eat it I get severe acid stomach. The taste of the bread is not worth the pain. So for me the gluten is dead and buried.

    I'm sorry your family is treating you badly. Hang in there, your health is more important than they're good opinions. This is the first gluten free Thanksgiving for my DH and me. We are going to my mother's house. She doesn't totally understand but she's not condemning either. I'm not sure what DH's family will be like. We'll see them at Christmas.
  23. SchnauzerMom
    Great! I'm glad that you are losing weight and feeling better!
  24. SchnauzerMom
    I would guess it's a combination of the two. The bread started things and the Doritos finished it off. Hope you feel better soon!

    I have always had a sensitive/nervous stomach. Also problems with constipation most of my life. I was under a lot of stress when I first started a job (I stayed with that job 14 years though). I was in my 30's when I started having really bad cramps and alternating constipation/diarreah. At one point my DH and I decided we needed more fibre so we started...
