    I agree, I forced myself to keep in shape and I was glad I did or I think I'd be worse off.

    Yes, my gluten reactions are definatley worse than they were before. For me, the reactions are bad for the first week or so, and then it takes about another week to feel better again. So, 2 weeks... I think that is the norm. The best thing to do is to try and get lots of rest and let your body heal. Try and eat things that aren't hard on your stomach like...

    It's nice to be able to laugh at ourselves and also be able to go out and have fun at the same time

    I know it's not funny, but I get the exact same thing... so I can so relate, I just had to laugh. I don't even trust myself to drive!

    I have only had gluten through contamination or accidents since going gluten-free. When I get contaminated I'll have GI trouble (gas, bloating, D), fatigue, lack of energy, brain fog, dizziness, mild-severe upper abdominal pain, and just recently dh (Dermatitis Herpetiformis).

    If you have low iron, celiac disease is a possibility. If you really want to follow the gluten-free diet and see if it improves your iron levels, I would eliminate all sources of gluten. That includes reading labels and looking for gluten on every product that goes in or near your mouth. I would check shampoo, conditioner, make-up, suncreen, toothpaste,...

    If everything is gluten-free and uncontaminated you may notice an improvement. I didn't start to notice hudge GI improvements until 10-11 months into the diet. But this only only after I had re-evaluted my diet and found that I was eating gluten-free Humpty Dumpty corn chips produced on the same line as gluten chips. Once I quit the chips I got better. I...

    Yes, the gluten-free rules on maltodextrin can change for each country. In Canada, you have to call the company or check another valid source to see if it is safe.

    Wow, that was fast! Nice to hear that you are doing well
  15. Carriefaith
    Glad to hear that you are ok and starting to feel better Hurricanes are not fun

    Veggies are so good like that! YUM!

    I usually store my flour in tightly sealed plastic bags or in a bag in a tupperware dish. They can be stored in the fridge or just a cupboard. If the seals are not tight, than little insects can get in and lay eggs (I know that is gross but it can happen!) I would think that flour should be good for a few months. Someone else may know a more specific time...

    Welcome! There are tons of yummy foods that we can have. I know the diet is overwhelming and discouraging at first and it's easy to feel like you can't have anything. But like Kaiti said, you can find a gluten-free alternative to almost anything. For example, you can still have foods like chocolate, ice cream (if you're not lactose intolerant), pizza,...

    Thanks tasha and Viola! I will definately keep those places in mind if I travel to Vancouver in the futue. It isn't on this safe list Open Original Shared Link but that list is old so they may have changed.

    SmartBalance, hmm I think I remember seeing that around here in the stores, Thanks

    Thanks Karen!

    No problem! I love knowing of safe places to eat when I travel. Smaller places are probably safest anyway Are these places close to Vancouver? I've only been to BC once so I am not very familiar with the place. I'm just wondering becasue there is a very slight chance that I may be traveling to Vancouver, BC in October.
  23. Carriefaith
    Thanks! This will especially come in handy if I travel to the states.
  24. Carriefaith
    How annoying! At least you now know the source of your troubles.
  25. Carriefaith
    I think the only time that you might be concerned about consuming gluten from animals is if you were on Fear Factor ( ) and had to eat something gross like cow/pig stomach or intestines. I don't think anyone would willingly eat that stuff, but you never know!
