I played field hockey throughout college and did not have these problems, however, I did have a severe problem with becoming dehydrated which then causes the symptoms you are describing, maybe you're not getting the proper hydration that you need to in order for these symptoms to lessen. When I played I had to be very strict about what I ate and making sure that I ate, since skipping meals has always been a problem for me. I also had to have a supply of water and any juice that you like to help keep you going, mine was apple juice (with the occasional orange soda as a substitute, strange I know)...this disease shouldn't keep you from playing a sport that you love, it just makes you be a lot more cautious about things!! i hope you figure it out!!

Yes, I believe its a more recent addition to their menu as well, during my diagnosis about 4-5 years ago, I was in college in southern virginia and got sick and it was not on the menu. I'm glad that it is now! I didn't know about the flour tortilla thing, that is very helpful, thank you!

I'm heading to Louisville this weekend for a wedding and was curious about any restaurants there (or any info on their minor league ballpark!) so I can have a nice weekend with my family and actually eat without getting sick! Any help would be fantastic!

It has been a few years since I've eaten at an IHOP and when I did, it definetely wasn't on the menu that pancake batter was in their omletes...if it was, I certainly didn't see it.....on the menu or not, it's still weird that they do that...

My mom went to IHOP yesterday w/ her dh and my brother. She said they had "corn cake pancakes" and they were gluten free! She said they tasted pretty good, too. So I called IHOP to see if this were true, and of course they wouldn't confirm. They told me to talk to the manager at the IHOP I go to. So, if you have an IHOP near you, call em up! They may have gluten-free pancakes there!!

PS, the IHOP she went to was somewhere in the Beumont/houston area.

I would be VERY careful with how trusting you are of IHOP...Even if they do have gluten free corn cake pancakes, will they clean the grill after each time?? The risk for CC in a place like that shoots through the roof...plus...IHOP has been known to put pancake batter in their omletes to make them fluffier...it would be wonderful if more mainstream places were going to start offering these options but be careful! did your mom get sick? now that its a few days later?

Are you sure they were corn chips? I've run into several situations and found out that most authentic (and fast food like Moe's and Willy's) use flour tortilla chips. I of course found this out the hard way and then asked the next time I went in!!

I also eat them reaction free and a lot of them, daily! Removing from your diet might help to at least narrow down what is causing your discomfort..I hope you start to feel better soon!
