    Hi, My husband had the same problem (constant hunger). Many people with gluten problem are not very good with "simple(and even complex) carbohydrates" - although most of them are gluten-free. This is probably why you have constant hunger. If you searh online for "Candida" you may get more information. Giving up on simple carbs might be hard at the beginning...

    Hi, Many people have experienced the same things, Celiac is hard to diagnose, and the symptoms are blended with many other condition. But since now you know, I think the rest is about changing your lifestyle. My husband always had stomach/skin problems, but we learned that he had gluten problem in 2006. Next day, we went 100% gluten free in the kitchen...

    Hi, my husband lost a lot of weight as well. but gradually he put some back. As his digestion system got better, he started to include nuts and legumes in his diet. He eats nuts (walnut, pistachio, almond, sunflower seeds, sussame seeds) every day as a snack, and he also eats little bit amount of legume (chick peas and lentils) every night, has begun exercising...

    Megan, you have to stay completely away from sugar, starchy foods, caffeine, any type of flour, can drinks, milk/cheese/yogurt, all simple carbohydrates. Consume green leafy vegetables (not can, but fresh), lean protein, and good quality plain spring water (not juice-it has too much sugar), try to sleep 8 hours a day (even if you cannot sleep, just rest...

    Hi all, My husband always had such red things on his back, close to shoulders, and neck, and on his belly...Doctors said the reason was his dry skin in 1993..Anyway, time passed..and 2005 he developed gluten intolerance. Those red rashes were a sign for us, we had no idea. Now we watch his diet very well, he has no symptoms, he has good health - but...

    Oh, also, my husband never ever tried a sleeping pill. It is difficult, but it worked -

    Hi, my husband had sleeping problems too. he found out that when he feels like he cannot fall in asleep, he sleeps on the floor. He has a yoga mat, he puts it on the floor, and he puts a quilt on it to make it a little soft. This helped him very much. Somedays, if he eats too much fruits, he cannot fall asleep, so now he knows what to do. This might help...

    Hi, I was a care-giver for my husband for long time - we couldn't figure out what happened to him, the doctors were not much of a help for us too. But, I see with my own eyes, he is healthy now!! My husband now does not have pins and needles, floaters in his eyes, no GI/abdominal problems, no skin rushes, these are only some examples, there were so many...

    Hi Rachel, It might be wrong but, I noticed that you are consuming a lot of processed foods. Have you ever thought about cooking with plain things? such as green vegetables, turkey/fish/meat, eggs..consuming nuts instead of popcorns..I love ice cream, but since my husband has gluten intolerance, I dont eat ice cream as much as I used to...for snakcs, now...

    Thank you Nancym for the information. I had no idea about these things before! I always thought that bread is good!!! Actually, the information about the negative effects of simple carbohydrates and several potato like starchy complex carbs is out there, but people dont see it, or are not able to make the connection between carbs and gluten problem....

    Hi.. with the results of Enterolab, we started gluten free diet, it gave us the courage to quit consuming wheat, barley, oats, etc. It is kind of against to our general beliefs, we always thought that "bread is good for you" since we are from mediterranian region, it is hard for us to accept that wheat is bad!...but, now believe that gluten-free is...

    Hi My husband has been having this gluten problem for the last 2 years, and actually, first time in 2 years he is feeling good! Thinking about what we have learned so far, here are few advices - (1) 100% gluten free (Walmart has many gluten free products, also co-ops, bloom, and local gardens try to use origanic) (2) eliminate digestively challenging...

    Hi all, I was thinking - "I learned so much, I want to share this information with others who are having the same problems - Where should I post my message?" I hope, my message will reach to many. I am a caregiver, my husband has gluten intolerance. He has been having stomach-intestine problems-burbing-jerking in the muscles-shaking-floaters in his...

    Matilda, I agree with you..For my husband, with gluten intolerance, intolerance to corn, milk, egg, yeast, gum, and soy was developed... He also avoids paper towels-napkins, tea bags, and paper cups since they have gluten..

    It is exactly how I feel, too

    Hi, I was wondering..have you experienced any benefits of not being able to eat GLUTEN or being celiac or having gluten intolerance? My husband was diagnosed with gluten intolerance in July, 2006...We had very difficult days, weeks, and months..and still being gluten free or dealing with the effects of gluten is not easy and often overwhelming. It affects...

    Hi, my husband has gluten intolerance.. even before they diagnosed him with it, he used to have a very low level fever sometimes - The doctors first checked him with virus/bacteria tests (a year ago) did not find anything, sent us home and said that eat well - anyway.. the symptoms got worse...they diagnosed him with IBS....symptoms got worse....Finally we...

    Hello, my husband has gluten intolerance and we have been gluten free since last july. Eventhough his stomach/intestine problems got better in time, a lot of other things were still going on. during november-december, he started to have intense muscle spasms, jerks like seisures/epilepsy so we saw two different neurologist, they couldnt find anything..he...

    Hi, I am not celiac, but my husband has gluten intolerance - He had to quit many things, not because he was allergic to them but because his intestines were not able to digest them, they were in bad shape. He was diagnosed this summer, beginning of July.. Probably, you dont even have the energy to fix your gluten-free meal, or to read the labels......

    Hi, Do you have a rice cooker? it is very useful, I dont know if they allow you to have one in a dorm. (you can get one from Walmart, I think there are also microwave versions of it) - but you need to have your own gluten-free rice..

    hi all again, we solved the food problem - now our cat is gluten free and seems to be doing fine - but, what about the cat litters? do they contain gluten? I called the company, the lady said, as far as she knew there is no specific information.. :S
  24. moonlight
    Hi All, what do you use for cat litters? is there anything "gluten free"? Thanks.

    Hi all, My husband has gluten intolerance.. some days he feels good some days not...He can walk a little when he feels good, but if he gets tired the next day, or even the night of the same day becomes a nightmare for both of us...He has been gluten free/processed food free/nightshades free/soy, yeast, cessain free for 9months..Do you have any idea about...
