    That's interesting, now that I remember, the first time I got the rash it was a spot [about the size of a penny] on my left cheeck after throwing up and what i had ate was gluten free instant mash potatoes [made with regular milk] and an egg. So it wasn't the gluten making me throw up in that one instance. So what would be the difference between dairy allergy...

    I want to know if anyone else has this problem, when I was still throwing up from gluten as I didn't know it was what was making me sick I would get face rashes, they wouldn't be itchy though (as DH tends to be), but they would stay for quite a few hours and then go away (though never went away completely) every time I would throw up it would get worse and...

    Yesterday we decided to grill fajita meat outside and it was a great idea, instead of the usual rice to accompany the tacos I decided to cook some potatoes, so here's how to get them crunchy, browned and they don't stick to the pan. First line the bottom of the baking pan with aluminum foil, then cover the bottom with oil [i use vegetable oil] don't be scared...

    I wish they had these here in Texas! I clicked on the link and I saw something funny I had to comment on, the location of the restaurant is on East Wheat Road! watch out for road cross contamination!

    Well I've always had a small frame, but I used to weigh 100Lbs about a year and a half ago, then I started having a lot of stomach problems, after a while it turned into nausea and after a few more months i was throwing up every day from everything I ate and I couldn't figure it out until looking for information on ulcers I read a little link on the side...

    I would also recommend adding veggies and fruits to your diet, berries [blueberries, strawberries] are high in fiber, so are apples, I know this will sound crazy but if you shred your apple and add sugar they are tasty, another way to make them good is chop the apples in chunks, sprinkle as much sugar/or splenda for less sugary, and pop it in the microwave...

    It seems you're either too tall or too short, I'm in the shorties, I once said at the ER that I was 5ft and the guy laughed at me, said i wasn't even 4"10 which is actually how tall I am so he was right I dont mind being short but there's times where I wish I had a few more inches on me, especially when buying dresses or pants, its hard to find size 1 or...

    I am not sure how but I do agree that anxiety/depression IS linked to Celiac. After going gluten free my anxiety improved a little, though I've had it for too long as for it to completely go away, I have noticed that when I get glutened [which happened quite a few times at the beginning of the diet] I would have panic attacks much more often.

    I had eye issues since i was a kid, I was finally diagnosed with Uveitis, I have a lot of other issues that they always said could be autoimmune or genetic but never gave me a name for it [because they didnt know what it was], I also had arthritis as a kid, I talked to a rheumatologist not long ago and she told me I most likely had juvenile arthritis also...

    A good idea for baked potatoes, which usually takes about an hour to cook in the oven, is to take a potato, wash it, pat it dry with a towel, put a tiny bit of oil in your hand and rub it on the skin of the potato, then wrap it up in a napkin and then wrap it up in a dishrag/towel, pop it in the microwave for about 10-15 minutes depending on the size of the...

    I agree! I don't often bake bread, though I do it a few times a month, but for "sandwiches" when I don't have bread or don't feel like baking it I usually wrap ham/lunchmeat in two corn tortillas or wrap my hotdogs [gluten free] in corn tortillas too, I eat more lentils/beans in all kinds of ways, cold bean salads, boiled beans and overall weird combinations...

    Even boiled carrots or potatoes irritate your stomach? I would recommend going to the site whfoods, click on the Eating Healthy button and then click The World's Healthiest Foods link, there will be a list of legumes and grains and other foods that you might be able to tolerate that are very good. For example chickpeas, lentils [red especially] and such are...

    wow, I did not know there might be a connection, about a year ago I began having pains on my left side ribcage, no doctor did anything about it [no insurance] it began at about the same time I did a celiac test through enterolab and started on the diet. Now just a few days ago I ended up in the ER with very sharp pain on the ribcage, shoulder and arm weakness...

    I don't know if this is what you are looking for, though they don't talk about Bipolar in this article, they talk of a way to reverse psychiatric disorders caused by Celiac or other diseases. I would think that if schizophrenia can be reversed this way, then bipolar could too. There's even people who don't need a treatment other than a strict gluten free...

    Nah I didn't mean that it only happens in Celiac, I meant that when leaky gut happens in Celiac it can cause other autoimmune diseases by that mechanism, not everyone with Celiac has a leaky gut, and not everyone with Celiac has other autoimmune diseases. So I understand what you are saying, I just expressed myself incorrectly.. Ugh I know what you mean...

    Dionnek - that's crazy that you mention that, I have the same thing, a horrible stabbing pain in my left side ribcage, but the ribcage sticks out more than the right side so that threw me off, I don't know if it is an ulcer or not but I've had it for a long time [about 8 months], so if it is an ulcer it has to be pretty bad by now because it has affected...

    Ha, I'm a weirdo, I was always avoiding vinegar [white one is the one we always have] because I thought it would worsen reflux! I had no idea it could help it I dont know where I got that idea hehe

    I can't find the article [because I lost all my bookmarks] where it explains exactly the way Celiac [true celiac with malabsorption] causes other autoimmune diseases, I believe it is a reaction to gluten which allows for development of little open spaces in the intestine which allow "bad" proteins to leak into the bloodstream, the body recognizes these proteins...

    Wow thanks so much for all that information, I really did not know that there were other things that could cause similar symptoms, let alone Lyme disease. I will look into that and talk to my doctor and see what they recommend as far as testing goes, I would love to have all the thyroid tests done but the clinic I go to does not offer many tests, maybe they...

    I agree with previous posts, there could be other intolerances as well, I thought I would be able to drink milk after going gluten free, i was very wrong, even a big amount of butter makes me sick, I switched to soy milk but it doesn't seem much better, though I don't know if it is the soy milk or the bacon I ate Some people also can't tolerate soy, so try...

    ravenwoods - hopefully I'll be able to get checked for vitamin deficiency if doctor listens but I'm not getting my hopes up, I will look into B vitamins on my own and hope for the best. I think the problem with my diabetes was that we caught it when it was just starting to give me highs and in a matter of months it went over 400 but doctors thought since...

    I'll definitely try the muffins, I'm sure they're much easier to cook than bread Which are the best flours to cook with? I've bought many different flours which I still have in my pantry, so far I"ve tried White Rice Flour, Brown Rice Flour, Potato Flour, Soy Flour, and White Lentils Flour [urid Flour]. They are all much heavier it seems.

    mtndog I agree with you, it should be a team approach, not only GI and Neuro docs but also Endos, celiac has a tendency to mess with these things too [diabetes, thyroid] but I think we're very far from that right now, if we approached a doctor with that idea I think we would pretty much be laughed at unfortunately. I have many neurological problems of...

    I'll try to be as brief as possible with my story. As a kid I was always sick, went through so many hospitals and doctors to never get any answers. In 1999 when I was 13 [now 21] they did a few thyroid tests, TSH and antibody testing, I tested positive for anti-thyroglobulin and anti-thyroperoxidase antibodies, doctors DID NOTHING and did not warn my mother...

    I was wondering about this too, I have diabetes [unspecified type] but I have had it for a very short time [8 months] and at 5 months of being diagnosed with it I developed a Peripheral Neuropathy, they said it was from diabetes, now I have tested positive for gluten sensitivity and I believe the neuropathy has more to do with gluten than diabetes. Do these...
