    I have been eating all of the Pebble products for years and have never, ever been glutened. In the beginning of my diet about 4.5 years ago I would question everything I ate with the slightest sign of intestinal distress. I trusted nothing new. I even cut out certain gluten free foods because I THOUGHT they had made me sick - really missing out over the years...

    Rice Krispy Treats are absolutely NOT gluten-free, so be careful. Sometimes you may not react, but damage is still being done to your guts. There are so many yummy cakes - that taste just like real cake. Cherrybrook kitchen (Open Original Shared Link) is a good example. It bakes, looks, tastes just like real cake. How about Betty Crocker: Open Original Shared...

    You are not crazy! It's totally true. I tried the same thing last summer with sugar (obviously including chocolate). OMG!!! Same thing - first day was not so bad, but by the third day my head was pounding so hard I had to eat some. It was a violent experience. I think about my need to quit almost daily, but feel helpless. I guess it is like any detox....

    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    I hope so! I eat them all the time.

    How about raisins, fruit roll-ups, popcorn, rice chex/trail mix, peanut butter/jelly on gluten-free rice cakes, popcicles, apples/carmel sauce, all fresh fruit...that's all I can think of right now. Don't forget marshmallows, chocolate chips, sunflower seeds, gluten-free icecream, and all kinds of gluten-free cookies you can bake at home: Open Original Shared...

    My advice is this: take the advice of people who have been there (as long as it is not harmful) because doctors just don't have a clue. I was on Prozac for 10 years. We all have many different issues that play into our overall health. For me it was an allergy to mold, thyroid, and last but NOT least, gluten. Once each of these issues were uncovered, I bagan...

    I pretty much only eat whole foods - I do eat Nutty Rice for breakfast and certified gluten free cookies (Enjoy Life), but other than that it is straight fruits, veggies, meats, and dairy (it doesn't bother me anymore). I got my vit levels tested and they were great, but I think it is because I have been on the diet for a long time and the positive affects...

    The anwser to all of your questions are YES! They also thought my symptoms were MS-like. it takes a long time to get all of the gluten out of your system, so be very careful and read, read, read. I also didn't come up positive, but there is no doubt that I have it. I got "glutened" yesterday and had a night terror last night - waking up screaming - gluten...

    It is very dangerous. Read this post from Snopes.com to get the details: Open Original Shared Link I frequently rinse my mouth with it and accidentally swallowed it once and became very sick. And it wasn't a lot, just a small amount in water. Hope this helps.

    I will try them...thanks a million! If anyone has any others, please share.

    What off-the-shelf shampoo/condition do people use? I currently use Neutrigena Clean, which is gluten-free, but it just doesn't do a good job and is hard to find. Any ideas? Pantene makes me sick for some reason.

    Please don't give up on having a peaceful, healthier life. I too, came back negative for Celiac, but obviously have a severe gluten intolerance, as I cannot even breathe it without getting this weird panic/sick feeling. Since I have been healing for the past two years, that has gotten less severe, but I won't ever eat in a pizza place! I feel some regret...

    Thanks! Luckily, I am only allergic to nuts at this point - and of course I can't have gluten. This looks very good.
  15. hollyres
    I might be missing something...what is the name of the product? It sounds good, and I see you are also allergic to nuts.

    Does anyone know of a US-based testing lab similar to York, is that the best one to choose? Has anyone else used it, and if so, were you happy with the results? Do the results have to go straight to a doctor? Here is the URL: Open Original Shared Link Thanks!!!

    I am allergic to many raw veggies and fruits (spinach is one of them). Some give me "tummy" trouble, while others just make my mouth itch. I solve this by blanching (a quick boiling or hot water bath for the offending veggie or fruit), while trying to maintain crispness. I've known others who microwave the food (salad!). I hate microwaves, so I don't...

    I wake up screaming - this is something that started when i was 19. My husband has to shake me to wake me up. I have frequently thought dead people were in the room. One night I fell/rolled out of bed and really hurt myself. It doesn't happen hardly at all now that I am good about my diet - but I also get it when I have other allergic reactions. Now...

    You could be allergic to eggs, which can cause digestive issues; however, Rice Dream makes me sick (I think that's what you wrote, or was it "rice cream." I am not really sure if there are issues with these products regarding gluten, but Rice Dream definately gets me (I havent' heard good things). My suggestion would be to give yourself a few days without...

    I use gluten free products - just in case. I know that I get my face cream on my lips, as well as shampoo and conditioner can possibly get past my lips, once in a blue moon. I use Dove Sensitive Skin soap and Neutrogena Clean Shampoo & Conditioner. I also use Neutrogena Emulsion Lotion (wonderful) scent free. I know it sounds gross to think of these...

    For some strange reason - I don't know what, I can't eat Rice Chex. I think I might be allergic to the mold that comes from processing cereal. I have found ones with a shiny blue hue, which I think is mold. That however, is a guess. I was so excited to be able to eat it, and then I had allergic/gut symptoms. Now I love Nutty Rice, which to me is just...

    I thought these looked good, but am reconsidering... This is from the webiste for those who are wondering the same thing: 3. Do CARNATION

    I use Benadryl Bubble Gum - dye free A LOT. I have no problem with it.

    It is never helpful to say or imply something is psychosomatic - in my opinion. I had that done to me for years, and guess what...they were ALL wrong!!! If a person feels something is making them sick, and it happens repeatedly, then it is important to stop doing that thing - period. Do we always need to label it? By saying "psychosomatic," a person suggests...

    I have a nut allergy and am so excited about Namaste I can't stand it!!!! Thank you!!!!
