    i am desperately trying to put on weight but I just can't. I tried rice protein last year and it didnt sit well with me. I am thinking of trying pea or hemp protein but I wanted to see if anyone had adverse reactions to such supplements. seems like whenever i put concentrated supplements of any kind into my body they constipate me or cause some kind of...

    Just heard from the company: Our 68g. bars are tested according to European standards to be <3ppm gluten while most products you find on the shelf today that claim to be gluten free are only <20ppm according to American standards. Wheat Grass and Barley Grass do not contain gluten as these are only the tips that are used and not stems or...

    ive been eating Quinoa like crazy since going gluten-free - its my salvation. however lately I find that Im having difficulty digesting it and is causing constipation. is it possible i developed a sensitivity to it? my diet is so restricted and the thought of having to cut out more stuff that i like is scary

    I cant quit my job...if i do then it means ive been defeated and i will sink further into a deep depression & feel more useless than i already do. my career was going nowhere before this job and it changed my life, even though its been difficult with the food thing. i will never ever go back to an office job so its not even an option for me. just have...

    I just got back from my France trip and wish I could say I had a wonderful time but I didn't. I lost so much weight and had to take so much crap from my colleagues about not eating the food. A few places were able to cater to my needs but that was only for 4-5 meals..the rest of the time I was living off of nutrition bars, rice cakes and canned salmon just...

    So im sitting in my dumpy hotel in France eating rice cakes and apples for dinner. I walked around for 2 hrs going in and out of restaurants and not one of them could accommodate my diet. the ones that had potential were either completely booked or too expensive. last night i found a place with a great manager who worked her ass off to make my meal gluten...

    gotcha! Yeah I do have multiple sensitivities Do most of the sensitivities clear up after going gluten free? Im on a heavy course of probiotics now and might have to take antibiotics and anti fungals to get rid of some candida & C.difficile. I do find that using digestive enzymes & probiotics minimizes my sensitivities a little. for dinner...

    I still dont really have definitive symptoms when I ingest gluten...only thing I notice every once and a while is tingling/numbness in my legs and arms, but im not sure if its gluten causing that or something else. I tend to drive myself crazy every time i eat out..as soon as the meal is over i start paying very close attention to my legs to see if they...

    Are Dirty Chips and Cape Cod chips 100% gluten free? any others?

    I have been eating Nature's Way products for a while and was wondering if they are safe. Has anyone had problems? I love the Mesa Sunrise flakes as well as their buckwheat & mesa sunrise waffles. they also have a new cereal out now that looks good thanks

    I cant imagine why a doctor i know and trust would want to harm me...especially one that is so intelligent. So is there a chance the drop i got early today reversed 2 months of being completely 100% gluten free? i am appalled that this is a possibility...getting potentially glutened by the person who is supposed to help me

    These are all inspirational stories- thanks! I just hope my special lady is out there ;-)

    i visited my doc for a follow up today- he works for a well respected integrative medical practice. anyway he recommended that I take sublingual immunotherapy drops with me when i go to france in case i get exposed to things im allergic to. The staff allergist brought me the drops and put some under my tongue. she said there was a wheat extract in the...
  15. jasonD2
    Yes im not comfortable taking them- this is a well respected integrative medical practice so im fairly confident that the allergist knew what she was talking about, but im skeptical of everything and everyone these days The allergist already gave me a dose today and im feeling kinda weird now, not sure if its gluten induced or my usual hypochondria but...

    i visited my doc today & the staff allergist gave me these immuno drops for my trip to france to take in the event that I accidentally ingest wheat. she said there is no gluten in the drops & they are safe for celiacs, but there is a wheat extract of some kind in there. Has anyone had problems with these drops? im a bit reluctant to take them and...

    Has celiac/food allergies been a problem for anyone who is dating or looking for significant other? I feel like this condition is going to ruin all my chance for finding the type of woman i want. I was just dating someone for 4 months and she seemed perfectly fine with my sensitivities and in fact even bought gluten free food for me when i stayed at her...

    how safe are the gluten-free products that indicate "shared equipment" "same facility as" , etc, etc I just dont see what the point is in having gluten free food if there is potential cross contamination. Does anyone eat gluten-free food that has these warnings? the health food store i go to is really good about labeling gluten-free products but on...

    Anyone know where to find gluten-free pumpkin seeds? Ive looked in whole foods & other health food stores & they are all processed on lines with wheat & dairy thx
  20. jasonD2
    problem is if i cut out the carbs i lose weight- and i cant afford to lose any more
  21. jasonD2
    i called the company and couldnt get a straight answer - all they said was gluten is not added to any of the supplements. Dos anyone use their products?
  22. jasonD2
    Whats the absolute best way to get restaurants to prepare you food that is safe? I personally feel that handing out the allergy cards is the most effective since a lot can get lost in translation if you just speak with a waiter, especially one who is clueless. I also feel that you have a better shot at high end places as well. I'm going to France in...

    No I take probiotics that are dairy (and allergen) free
  24. jasonD2
    In addition to celiac I have all these food sensitivities and recent GI tests revealed candida & C.difficle overgrowth along with malabsorption markers. Ive been pumping myself with probiotics (Ther Biotic Complete & Symbion & S. Boulardi). I had to stop the boulardi cause it was causing bad constipation, however, the other probiotics are causing...

    Gracias all I noticed on my report that it says DQ8 (DQA1 03XXm, DQB1 0302) and that the doc wrote down heterozygote/carrier/50% prob does this mean i inherited one allele from each parent?
