I will not even eat at Chick-fil-A due to their donation of money to causes that discriminate against gay people. I don't care if they are the only gluten free option in ten miles. I could not eat their food and respect myself for supporting a company that is so against the basic civil rights of any number of my friends and family members.

Have you considered joining a raw food club or meetup? The food is typically grain free, though you will still have to take your chances with food prepared in someone else's kitchen.

Yay! Someone is trying it! I never get tired of it because there are so many different ways to serve it up. Your breakfast sounds fab; when my stomach is more settled again, I'll try that.

I stopped being hypo when I was on Atkins. Maybe you are still eating too much carby food. Fat and protein will keep your blood sugar stable.

Thanks, I will look into that, I am going to try to get a doctor's appointment tomorrow. Yesterday I started having a new symptom - twinges in my rectum (I know, tmi), in addition to twinges I'd already been having all over my abdomin, ow. It's like my whole GI tract is rebelling. Every time I eat anything, it sets off more gurgling and weirdness and...

First of all... I *will* be going to my doctor this week. This was some of the issue that caused me to go back on gluten free in the last month. It seems to not bother me as long as I stay away from "mystery food", but then if I eat anything "questionable" (which for the moment seems to be anything that I didn't prepare myself) I feel this way for a few...

Yes, I have this too. It feels like there's an alien baby inside of me, moving about.

Apparently got glutened the other day - I am still getting used to what I can and can't eat and both times that I've eaten out (one time at a Mexican place; one time, the other day, at a yogurt place - I had some labeled gluten free frozen yogurt, but with fruit toppings, and it's possible there may have been CC). At this point, I am staying away from anything...

I am on a limited income, too. Are you able to at all prepare your own food? What helps is that I've fundamentally changed the very way I approach food and this may mean that there are a lot of "conventional" foods that I do not eat (sandwiches are out of the question most of the time, for example) and that I have experimented a lot and "made up" a...

I don't to my knowledge have any issue with dairy and yet I eat coconut milk ice cream because it is SOOOOO good!!!!! ZOMG I especially love Larry & Luna's Coconut Bliss.

Does anyone else experience this? Feeling like I am full of gas through my entire GI tract, but it's not passing. Gurgling, including gurgling in my throat. I keep feeling like I have trapped burps in my chest, but I can't belch. Heartburn. This is a symptom that was nearly constant before I went gluten free this month, and I don't know if it's...

I hear you. i am very much a foodie and much of my social life revolved around eating out, as I don't have the resources to entertain and I'm too far for anyone to drive. Most of my friends live 40 miles away, so we have to meet midway which means - meeting at restaurants. The good news is that it's easier if you DO like to cook, than if you don't. It...

My nutrition teacher was quite knowledgeable about celiac and she said that people could test negative for several years before testing positive. And this is even while eating gluten. She also said that many people who were "gluten intolerant" but negative for celiac, eventually were positive for celiac via one of the tests.

I always felt awful when I cheated on Atkins, but chalked it up to the carbs. I just thought I was becoming diabetic like the rest of my dad's side of the family. I never ate bread on Atkins, low carb or otherwise - the low carb stuff tasted so awful that I wasn't tempted. I was close to a paleo style low carber (average meal was a salad with meat on it...

It took me a long time on gluten to start noticing reactions. I first started having frank celiac type of symptoms after coming off of Atkins. Thats when I had DH. BEFORE I'd been on Atkins, I just felt vaguely "bleh" all the time. Then - after being back on gluten for a few years, after my negative test - it took me a few years to start feeling sick...
