    That's a great idea. I never would have thought of the sponge as a source of gluten. But I guess we use it to clean off the counter with bread crumbs, etc. and then it would get into my dishes, etc. UGH! Thanks for the suggestion! Kassandra

    Maccygirly, I can totally understand what you're going through. I have the carb cravings, sugar, etc. It is really hard because I feel like I'm starving myself and should be losing weight, but I don't lose an ounce. Then I end up eating everything in site because I was depriving myself. I have put on few pounds over this summer break and I'm so frustrated...

    I was going to say, if the soy sauce ingredient is on there, the company MUST disclose if there is any wheat, but not rye, barley or oats. This is where you could run into problems. Again with the chicken broth, must disclose wheat, but not other things. I'd say MOST soy sauce is full of wheat. Not all, but most. Again, call manufacturers. Kassandra

    First, thank you for all your responses. AndreaB, I had the skin-test ones. It said I have an allergy to olive trees, cockroach, and shellfish! (It's a good thing I don't like shellfish! Now I am afraid to eat it to see what happens!!! dlp252, Who are these doctors? Where could I find some in my area? NoGluGirl, Ugh...

    Where did you get the testing kit for the house candida? Kassandra

    Lol! I think so too! This is so annoying. Kassandra

    Hello again everybody, I don;t know if anyone has any experience with this, but all of you are so knowledgeable so I thought I'd give it a shot. I am absolutely exhausted and have no idea why. I had allergy testing and found out I am SEVERELY allergic to grass of all kinds. I am now taking Nasonex (nasal spray) to help with that, but it's not really helping...

    NoGluGirl, It's sounds like a no-brainer to me too! It amazes me what he is able to get away with...and if nothing else, DON'T LET HIM TOUCH MY STUFF WITH GLUTEN HANDS!!!!!!!!!!! Ugh! That seems like a no-brainer to me too. And, it's not like he's a 5 year old, he's 19 almost 20 friggin' years old!! Oh well...I can't do anything about it. Kassandra...

    I try to stick to mexican type foods. We have La Salsa or Baja fresh. A chicken taco with tortilla is always fine for me. Otherwise it is really hard to eat gluten-free at malls. Bringing food sounds like a good idea. Or you could just bring a salad dressing and buy a salad. Kassandra

    Thank you so much for all your replies! We will go to the store soon according to my mom in order to get me some new appliances, dishes, etc. It is really frustrating because my brother is 19 almost 20, doesn't work, go to school, drive...NOTHING!!! And my mom doesn't do anything about any of that. So, the fact that she isn't very supportive about this is...

    Hello, I don't think that quinoa is contaminated. I could be wrong, but I have never had a reaction and I'm REALLY sensitive to all gluten of any form. Make sure that you make it with chicken broth instead of water...I think it's digsusting in water, but REALLY good in chicken broth. Kassandra

    I am 17 and live at home. My brother is not gluten free, my mom is trying (not very successful) and I'm free of the things in my signature. The problem is that my mom isn't strict with my 19 1/2 year old brother about not contaminating things. I have explained it to him MANY times and I think he is using my gluten free hummus, etc. for his gluten-full breads...

    I would like to hear answers to this too. Kassandra

    There's soy in tuna???? I didn't know that?! Kassandra

    Wow! I didn't read the article, but I don't think I could EVER purposely eat gluten. It scares me so much! Lol! I could see maybe taking a pill in case I got glutened a restaurant. Kassandra

    I heard that whey isn't acceptable either? Maybe I'm wrong? Wouldn't casein be found in whey? Now I'm confused. As far as for life or not, I believe it is for life. There are a lot of great ice cream substitues for ice cream. We bought one called rice divine- Mudd Pie Flavor....OMG it was to DIE FOR!!! It had gluten free brownie bites and chocolate...

    I was going to post this same topic the other day! I have also yet to find a margarine which is free of soy, gluten and dairy. I gave up also. I just have been craving cookies lately but I found one that uses coconut oil shortening...we'll see how I like it. I will also look into coconut oil-spread type things. Thanks for the suggestions!'

    Andi, I am not anemic anymore (well, I wasn't about 3 months ago). I will get my iron checked as soon as money allows (our insurance is crappy). My hematologist wants it checked every 3 months or so. Last it was checked was in June when I was hospitalized, so we are due again some time soon. My B12 levels were fine which was strange, because people can...

    Do you have any good recipes for pumpkin muffins??? MMM!!!
  20. confusedks
    I can totally relate! I have no problem being free of all these foods, but portion control and SUGAR!!!!!! All I want is SUGAR!! It's just so good. Lol. But it's not good for the figure. I guess I'll just keep trying. Kassandra

    I don't know if it's possible, but could you get a new GI doctor? That's the only thing I can think of except just trying the diet. If you post in the doctor's section, someone may be able to help you find a good one in your area. Good Luck! Also, remember blood tests are false negatives ALOT!!! Biopsy is the "gold standard" for diagnosis. Kassandra

    I posted on here a while ago. I have a question. What do yo do when you have such severe cravings? I eat plenty or protein, but cereal, etc. is killing me!!! I don't have a lot of weight to lose, but enough that my clothes are a little too tight for my comfort. Example, tonight I had salmon with pasta and spinach, but an hour later I was dying for some food...

    Lol. I am still having weight problems. I am thin, but I am about 5 lbs over what I want to be which amazes me because I can eat so little. I think it is summer break. LOL...lets hope! I actually don't have the response from Almay anymore. Unfortunately I deleted it. If you want, what is the product you want info on and I'll write them and see what happens...

    VRB, I am gluten free among with many other things. I am almost 100% I am as gluten free as possible. I can no longer eat out because of other food issues. But, when I was just gluten free, it's not that hard. You have to get things like salads with balsamic vinegar, etc. so you know it's gluten-free. I know almost immediately when I ingest gluten so it...

    I wrote Almay and get a great response. I asked about specific products though. maybe that would help? Kassandra
