    Welcome to the club! I'm right there with you - my reward for my sloppy eating over the past week has been the first head cold that I've had in almost 2 years despite being constantly exposed to bugs. And to top it off, I've completely lost my voice and have a job where I interact with heariing impaired individuals on a daily basis. Duh!!!! Like one of...

    Jerry, I did the Enterolab and got positive results. I immediately cut out gluten, casien, soy and yeast based on these results. And while I felt a lot better, something was still not right. So I had ELISA testing (blood) done through York laboratories. That showed me that I was also sensitive to almonds (was eating almond butter every day!) and shellfish...

    Thanks, ladies, for the tips! I will give them a try with my next batch!

    In my days of baking with gluten flours, I would always use a toothpick to test if a cake or a quickbread was done - it would come out clean if the item was ready. But now that I'm baking with alternative flours, I find this technique is not working. I made a quickbread yesterday. The recipe said to bake for 1 hour. Since the batter didn't fit into one loaf...

    I haven't tried that recipe but have had great success with others from that book. But one thing that comes to mind is whether you have a marble slab that you could refrigerate to use to keep the dough cold while doing your cutouts. I inherited from my father a marble slab (maybe 2'x2') and rolling pin - I'm sure he bought it from some mail order catalog...

    Calcium Citrate plus Magnesium & Vitamin D - the Vitamin Shoppe brand. They have stores (not sure what part of the country you are in) or you can order online at vitaminshoppe.com. Per the label "No yeast, corn wheat, sugar, salt, soy, starch, dairy, citrus, fish, perservatives, artificial colors or flavors added". The other ingredients are gelatin, water...

    Ah, I know exactly how you feel. Unfortunately, I used to run on a path in the woods - but the path was very heavily traveled so I was always panicked that another runner or biker would come up upon me. I had MANY not so proud moments last summer - and more than one sweatband sacrified to the cause. Thank YOU for reminding me of yet another BENEFIT...

    I questioned the Enterolab folk about this as my test showed elevated antibodies to soy. They recommended I stay away from soybean oil as well. The only thing they said that might be okay is soy lecithin because it has been so heavily "distilled" (not sure if that is the right term).

    I hear you about being grumpy about all the holiday treats being everywhere I look these days. I've also been pretty grumpy and feeling deprived. Intellectually, I know how much better I feel and how much good I am doing for my health in the long-run, but that little 3 year-old inside is getting pretty whiney. I realized this morning that it is only going...

    As far as I can tell, the only thing you need to worry about is if you are allergic to eggs as the virus is cultured on eggs.

    Shannon, There actually is a "Living Gluten-Free for Dummies" book available. It is worth reading - I found it combined information from a lot of sources into one book. It would be a good place to start. So is the advice to just go with a basic diet for the first few weeks. In my case, I have intolerances that go beyond gluten and it was frustrating...

    Greetings! I'm fairly new to this forum - been lurking since early October. I did both the Enterolab tests and the York Foodscan tests. Enterolab showed I'm intolerant of gluten, casein, soy, yeast. The York test also showed the gluten (gliadin), dairy, yeast, almonds, brazil nuts and crustacean/mollusc. On my own, I've also figured out that I'm intolerant...

    Welcome! I also noticed my reactions are much stronger now that I've been gluten, dairy, soy, yeast free since October. Others have commented that once you remove all the background noise from the constant immune system challenges, that new ones will be much more noticable. I found that out again last week when I had some hazelnuts - within 2 hours I knew...

    The pinning also drove me a little nuts at first, but then I realized I could click on "Today's Active Topics" at the bottom of the screen where I saw all the different categories. That way, I could quickly see new topics across all topics. Or as an alternative, once you are registered (I was a lurker for a while), you can click on "View New Posts" near...

    After reading Brostoff's Food Allergies and Food Intolerances book, I was looking for tests to supplement what I was trying to accomplish with a food elimination diet. Found the Enterolab website and then was googling to find out what people had to say about their tests and that is what led me here!

    I did both the Enterolab and the York tests with consistent results between the 2 tests. Since you are in Spain, it would probably much easier for you to do the York test. I had a little problem getting my sample shipped to England. DHL wouldn't accept my package because I didn't have the "proper" packaging that met some weird international standard - nor...

    That is very interesting - I had bought some 365 Brand millet and reacted to it - thought I was intolerant of millet, but perhaps it just was contaminated. I still have the package - I think it is time to get my $$ back!

    Don't throw the package out - take it back to Whole Foods and get your $$$ back. They have a satisfaction guaranteed policy. I've taken back several supplements that didn't agree with me and got my money back without any hassle.

    Thanks - unlike the "buffet moaners", I take my immune reactions to food just as seriously as my allergic reactions to penicillin and sulfa drugs. Maybe having had a near-death experience accounts for my attitude!

    Hi, I'm new here (to posting that is - been lurking since early October). I'm really glad this topic came up because I am going out to a big dinner with friends Saturday that I haven't seen in over a year and am dreading the questions that will come up with I give the waiter my bag of rice pasta to cook up for me. My anxiety lies with the fact that I am...
