  1. Question about coffee for everyone. There are 2 kinds of coffee I usually drink: 1. Plain house, gourmet coffee. Made with 100% coffee beans...and 2. Flavored coffee. This does not mean lattees, ect. It means coffee like, "Caramel coffee," "Kahlua coffee," ect. If you look at the back of those packages, typically, it will say, "coffee beans, artificial...
  2. I have a question for everyone about your Food Logs. How do you track everything? Do you write the times you eat the foods/times for symptoms? Or what about ongoing symptoms that don't go away, ect.? Currently, I just write down what I eat and at the end of the day I write what all of my symptoms were. Is there a better way?
  3. The eye twitching came back...I think I was glutened again!!! uggghhh...
  4. Also, do you know exactly where on here it talks about Movie Theater Popcorn? THANKS!
  5. Thank you so much. I wonder if there is anyway to call that theatre to find out what type of "seasoning" they use on their popcorn because while there was NOT any butter on it...I guarantee it was seasoned with something. I'm feeling major after effects in my mouth for the past few days. It's just KILLING me!!!!
  6. I feel for you. I was very, very sick for a whole year before I finally had my tonsils out. During that year I had Tonsillitis and Pharyngitis about 4 times, with colds in between. I also got a bad butterfly rash on the sides of my nose and cracks in the corners of my mouth. Then, after the year was up, I got my Tonsils and Adenoids out. I thought this would...
  7. No, I have never been tested for either of those. The only "testing" I've actually ever had is like a 60 panel scratch test in which I was allergic to nothing. Odd. They then said perhaps I have delayed reactions, in which a scratch test would prove nothing.
  8. Today is Monday. I have been gassy (silent & smelly today). I have also had a little joint pain. Yesterday when I woke up and for the whole day I was extremely fatigued (I slept almost all day!), had a major headache, joint pain and was gassy. I think it was something I ate on Saturday...but not sure what? Here are the questionable things I had on Saturday...
  9. This is my same EXACT problem, frec! I have so many other food intolerances as well and they are typically delayed, so I can never know if it's CC or just another food intolerance! uggghhh...so frustrating!
  10. Hello! I am really into health/fitness/body building. I am trying to get very, very lean while adding a lot of muscle. I am having a ton of problems with it, though, because of the Protein Factor. I used to always be able to put 100% Whey Protein into everything, but now that I cannot have dairy,cassein, wheat,gluten this is a problem. Does anyone have...
  11. Yes, I actually posted a topic like this recently with pain on my left side. I had it so bad one day that I came home from work and was curled up on the couch in pain. It moved from my left side to my back and kept getting worse and worse. I thought something was really wrong so I went into the hospital. I had an ultrasound and different exams; nothing. I...
  12. Can anyone help... If I can't have dairy or cassein that takes away milk, 1/2 & 1/2, creamer, ect. If I can't have soy, that takes away my unsweetened soy and silk soy that I love. So, what do I have with my coffee? I've heard I could have rice milk, but then I've heard also that some Rice Milk has gluten in it. Does anyone know? Are there any...
  13. Thank you, Rachel! It is very, very, very frustrating. I've spent so many hours with journals, symptoms, comparing, not comparing, ect. I feel like I mostly have delayed reactions, otherwise it might be easier to pin down. My situation is very complicated as well. I have all of the "normal" systems with gas, alternating d and c, stomach growling, dizziness...
  14. Yeah...I know I MUST be intolerant to other foods as well, I just cannot put my finger on it. I keep a very, very detailed food journal, but there are a few "questionable" foods. I'm not sure what the most common intolerances (combined with the wheat/gluten intolerance) are? Vodka is typically all I drink. Sometimes margaritas. Sometimes Bloody Marys....
  15. What were your other "odd" symptoms? Anything?
  16. I''ve been doing much better since I've gone Wheat and Gluten Free. I mostly stick with meat, fruits, vegetables, almonds, olive oil and tofu. BUT....occassionally I have the following: - Pumpkin Spice latte (made with soy) from Starbucks - Corn Tortilla chips - Potatoes - Vodka - Sprite Do any of these foods carry "red flags" as common "related intolerances...
  17. Jackie...it is VERY tough...I understand what you are going through. Be very careful with the cheese, butter, eggs. I have problems with those. In addition, yeast MAY bother you, so watch out for the mushrooms. The yogurt, if made with Modified food starch is not a good choice. Go all natural; plain meat,fruits and veggies. It's hard and it is by no means...
  18. Question on something you said...you said: "Teenagers often stop having symptoms for a few years (while the damage continues)...." This is so interesting to me. How did you know that? Or where did you find that out? The reason I ask is b/c I remember having problems up until I was a teenager. Then, when I was in college I got a major rash on my nose and cuts...
  19. Thank you so much. Dairy and sugar are actually 2 other culprits that I feel might be aided the wheat/gluten intolerance. I do not believe I had any dairy last weekend, but I did have lemonade and hot tomales (candy). The other culprit I wonder about is yeast? It's just so hard for me to go through my journals to pinpoint because I think all of the intolerances...
  20. I made a startling discovery last night. I've been looking over the past few months of me recording what I eat/my symptoms. Well, when I went back to symptoms from when I did a detox in last January, I noticed that I had recorded how "weird" it was with my excessive eye twitch...and then after detoxing a bit it went away. The eye twitch + this recurring...
  21. He gets boils? I haven't heard of that? Where at does he get them? Is that common? I get run down, too...that's for sure. I'm 24, but I remember when I was growing up...after every family get together I would be the child that was on the couch sleeping...super lethargic. Also, I had cracks in the corners of my mouth and this weird itcy, rash around my nose...
  22. Yes, I will get a lot of cramping, gas, DH,but the worst for me is always the reactions I get in my mouth. These are not visible to the eye, but it's like my tongue is constantly scraping against my teeth. My mouth is extremely irritated, annoyed and burns. I will sometimes get canker sores, but not very often. It's the most UNUSUAL symptom...I don't know...
  23. JNBunnie1 - What kind of reactions do you get?
  24. Thank you for your help. This is definitely something I might do. I went to one allergist who did about 60 scratch tests on me. I was allergic to NOTHING. This is why the allergist originally thought it was a delayed food reaction. I'm not sure how accurate the scratch test is?
  25. Hello! I was so excited to see your poste. I feel awful for your son, but I think this is my problem, too. I have been having the WORST time trying to figure out what exactly it is (in addition to wheat/gluten) that interferes with my entire system because everything is delayed. I know for a FACT that many times it takes me 5 days+ to react. I'm...
