Thank You everyone for all the great info offered in this thread. If a supplement has grain alcohol in it does that mean for sure there is gluten?

I couldn't find the link to start a new topic but can someone please tell me if there is gluten in soy? I still don't understand. Are they separate maladies, gluten and soy intolerance, are they linked or is there actually gluten in soy??

Beautiful post Nancym! I went to you r very helpful links. I Just this morning began reading "Wheat Free Worry Free" The art of happy healthy gluten free living - by Danna Korn and she sums up the exact question I have which may be a question only of semantics with this quote on page 20. "In most cases though, the terms wheat and gluten intolerance...

I have been told by the active posters on this site that my sensitivity to gluten, which was suggested by my chiropractor, is no less serious than Celiac Disease. I was under a different impression but am now open to hear more opinions. My mind is now open to this new information.

Ursula, It is difficult to take your advice when you make comments like "Gluten intolerance or gluten sensitivity is every bit as serious as celiac disease." Its just not true. Although gluten sensitivity can be serious, it is not as serious as Celiac. Celiac is definitely one step more serious. A big step. Some people simply lose their energy and get...

Thanks for the reply, however both of you are confusing sensitivity to gluten with Celiac disease. I may develop full blown celiac but I am not there yet. I am doing great by being aware and careful of what I consume. You are absolutely wrong about an occasional gluten episode keeping me sick and making me sicker. You need to focus on the positive. 97% is...

Hi again Remember I said I am only gluten intolerant. For me to be 97% free of gluten is incredible compared to the way I used to be. I will strive to eliminate most glutem from my diet and I will feel so much better than I used to. A full blown celiac must be ultra carefu. A person with a sensitivity to gluten like myself can improve their health and...

Ursula Well Thank You for all the info. I guess the dinner problem is with pasta. Wheat noodles vs Rice noodles etc. But thanks for the toaster and collander etc suggestions. First I heard of that but of course it makes sense. I don't think its essential that I be 100% gluten free although it would be better. Maybe if I stay 97% free I will feel 97...

Hey thanks for responding to my post regarding jaw problems. Hope your trip to San Diego was great. We love living here in San Diego. There are many many healthy restaurants in the North County coastal communities. Of course we also have Taco Bell and now Chick Fila but you can't be going to places like that. Fast food is probably not an option for people...

I want to thank all of you who already have given me some advice, Riceguy, Cassidy etc. Today I will try to stay gluten-free and see if things improve. I have lots of other symptons throughout my body like sore joints and headaches but I rarely get the intense intentine problems, only when I really blow it and I don't do that much anymore. Like eat 4 slices...

Cassidy As you know I just joined this site yesterday and you were kind enough to offer advice to my post. Thank You. Today I will try to stay 100% gluten free and see if my jaw problem stays dormant, and I can therfore be a nice husband and Daddy to my 9 year old girl. I make 1/4 of my income on eBay and have been selling there for over 10 years. But...

Thanks for the reply Lisa. My grinding isn't necessarily at night like so many others. Rather perhaps after a gluten event. Its like my blood sugar drops or something and I just tighten up. I guess I just must adher to a better diet. I don't know if a splint will do for me since its day grinding but I'll talk to my dentist and Chiropractor. I hope you...
