    Hi. Does anyone know of a margarine type product that is soy-free, dairy-free, gluten-free, preservative-free, hydrogenated oils-free and sea salt-free? Maybe something made with canola oil. I saw something called Pure sunflower sold in UK. Thanks. F.deSales

    Thank you for your pep talk and sending me some blessings! I need to take to heart my quote from my favorite saint (see below) and like you said remember He who suffered so much for us all that we might be saved! I will keep you in my prayers. And when I am feeling "the prep work" I will send extra prayers your way! It looks like you will be having yours...

This time I have to eat gluten for two weeks staring tomorrow to make sure the test is accurate. I am trying to get the courage to do so. I can't do the regular blood test because I have complete Iga deficiency...

    Hi I am also new to all of this but I am not new to arthritis. I have rheumatoid (with a false negative), reactive, and osteoporosis for many years! There is a connection to RA and celiac. Just because your blood work came back neg does not mean you don't have it or some form of it. You need to go on a Gluten-free Casein-free diet for the rest of your...

    STAY AWAY FROM MSG!!! It is bad stuff. I am new to being gluten-free but have been avoiding MSG for 10 years now because of my rheumatoid arthritis & reactive arthritis. It destroys your joints and messes with your nerves. Now I am learning that there is a connection to celiac and rheumatoid arthritis. If I ever eat it, I am in GREAT pain for days...

    Hi all. I am trying to detox my kitchen from cross contamination. I am replacing a lot of things and I was wondering if I need to get rid of my microwave or my oven. My family has agreed to set up a mini kitchen in the basement but I want to know if that should include a new microwave and/or a stove - toaster oven. I am VERY sensitive. I have been trying...

    Thanks Sheryll. I did not even think of using paper or plastic plates! I am very sensitive and doing that with gluten laden stuff is a great idea. I have a ton ot other food intolerances. I go soon to be retested since I have gotten so bad. They want to make sure that I have not developed any new ones. Thanks for taking the time to write!

    Thanks for your advice! I plan on making the nice guy friendly finished basement the gluten zone for my hubby and son. All meals I cook will be gluten free. I can't see making them live with out Oreos!

    I freaked out and bought all new stuff. I even gave away my beloved bread machine. We charged everything too. We will selling more stuff on ebay to pay for this extra pure life style. The family is agreeing to help me out. Hubby works at home, his office is in the basement and that is where we will be moving the gluten poison. Then we are going to...

    A million thanks for your pep talk! I have spent many nights crying in my hubby's arms while he ate Oreo's ;o) Your bf sounds like a keeper! This is tough on our loved ones too. I know that it will take time but sometimes when you think I will never be able to eat ... ya get down. I have to remember that if I don't I will not live long. I am being to...

    I had to laugh at your comment about the good brownies ... I need to find something that does not make me gag! I have tried cookies, "chocolate mousse", cereal and raisin buns ... gag! The worst was corn pasta! I will have to check what older kids eat, I have a 15yrld son. He does not eat to many sweets but he loves pizza, pancakes and Ritz crackers .....

    Thank you for sharing what you have gone through. I guess I need to go back to the pure basics. I am already eating some organic I guess I will have to do more. I will try to get my family to work with me on keeping the kitchen gluten-free. Where can I find kid snacks. If I can find some good ones I know that they won't mind. Right now I feel as the...

    Hi Kat. Thank you for your welcome and advice! I am already soy, egg and dairy free ... for years now. I use to cheat on those items but I get the impression that I can't at all with gluten. Where is the best place to find substitutes? I tried corn pasta and YUCK! I am Italian and pasta is like part of life. I had to give up cheese ... now...

    Thank you very much for responding! I am now realizing how careful I have to be. I did not know how easy it can be to be contaminated. I am very sensitive! I am trying to eat bland until I heal. I am one of those slow healers This sounds like all this is going to put a bigger dent in our food budget. We have to already shop at Whole Foods because...

    Hi Jenny, Wow. I had no clue that my life has to change so much. I guess this weekend I will have my Husband clean out the kitchen. I will wash the hands and wear gloves when I clean the kitchen or prepare gluten foods for my husband and son. It just blows away that I have to be so careful. It could be in my shampoos, lotions, HAIR PRODUCTS TOO?...

    I am completely lost in all of this. I don't know what I should be doing. I am spending hours on end in my "office" (the rest room) I have been trying to be gluten free for about one month now but don't seem to be getting better. I have lost 20lbs in the past two months. I am tired all the time. I drop things all the time. I can't remember the names...

    Thank you for responding. I had no clue that this would be so hard. I am already soy, egg, dairy, sulfite, MSG free. You would think that this would be easy for me. I have lost 20lbs just in the past two months. I did not realize how long it took to heal. I take for ever to heal too. F.deSales

    Hi. I am new to all this. I recently had an amaretto sour and I had a reaction. I am trying to figure out if it was the liquor or the sour mix. This is the only drink that I really want to keep in my gluten free diet. Do any of you know if there is a gluten-free amaretto sour mix? Thanks.
