    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    This may sound a little strange but how much water do you drink? I am a natural health consultant and when I deal with clients who are having cravings I tell them they need to quit drinking ALL sugary drinks..including juice..but especially sodas (diet sodas too!). I dont know what you have access to over their beverage wise, but something that I can tell...

    also dosent take me too long. If its a small amount I feel it quicker ironically. And it usually is just a massive headache within 20-30 minutes...but if its a larger amount I always have D within a 2 hour time period..usually by the 1 and a !/2 hour mark.

    I would stay on the diet if I were you. It won't hurt, and you will know for sure as soon as you accidentally eat gluten, or do a challenge. Like the above poster said, a positive result from the dietary changes is really the true indication of what your body is trying to tell you. I have not seen a nutritionist because after I read up on what I could and...

    Your response to going gluten free is really all you need to feel better. But a lot of people feel they need more then that..or at least it validates them to get a test positive. One thing you could look into would be going through enterolab. Enterolab is semi-controversial on here as not everyone believes Dr. Fines tests should qualify as a way to test for...

    if I eat a lot of gluten, maybe a half hour...but normally about an hour

    I just read somewhere the vanilla is not gluten free if it has an alcohol base?? Does anyone know this to be true? A lot of posts I have been looking at on here for the holidays have receipes that use vanilla extract..so I am confused.

    I have gotten pretty bad headaches being gluten free. Someone else mentioned on here it being connected to the liver. I have heard that a lot as well. There is a liver cleanse you can find directions for on the internet (it involves apple juice, epsom salts, and olive oil, its easy to goggle and you can find differen variations) that is short and not too...

    Haha.. I saw the name of this post and I had to check it out..and when I read 'wow this stuff is FOUL' I could not help but laugh. I was SOO excited to try my first gluten free bread (I must have been high on some left over gluten in my system) and that is what I bought. Needless to say, I thought it 'wasn't that bad...maybe' but Im pretty sure I was trying...

    I am new to being gluten free..only about two weeks in. I have been experiencing daily headaches which I imagine could be from withdrawal? Ive read about other people experiencing that sometimes too...or possibly they could be 'liver headaches' ive read...but anyway....I am new to this and I have had a few times where I have still had digestive issues after...

    I thought cocoa pebbles had carmel coloring in it? Can't carmel coloring contain gluten? I recently tried fruity pebbles since going free, just today actually, and had some interesting digestive stuff happen. I am new to being a celiac (2 weeks) and it may be too soon to tell if it was from that, or something else. I was just recently glutened (i think?...

    I love love love no bake cookies. They taste the same I think, with the gluten free oats. My recipe is a little different then the one above so I thought I would add mine to the pot since I love it so much. Chocolate p.b oatmeal no bake cookies 2 cups white sugar 1/2 cup powdered baking cocoa (I prefer Hersheys) 1/2 cup milk (or soy) 1/2 cup...

    Since we are on this topic, I have read somewhere that not all turkeys are gluten-free. Has anyone heard of this, or what it means? I think it said something about butterball turkeys and the 'butterball' part uses wheat in its butter mix. I dont know much about this, has anyone else heard of having to be careful about the actual turkey purchase?

    Grrrr...Well I read about this happening. I just spoke with my mom for the first time about celiac disease. I sent her info over email so she could learn more about the diet I would be venturing on...so she in turn did her own research and told me that I must not have any problem with wheat because I did not have the 'gold standard" tests preformed for diagnoses...

    I am soy intolerant, er have an allergy to it...whichever, I can't eat it. However I did eat it for a very long time (I was a vegetarian for a while and ate lots of tofu) and I can attest to the D. I have found that if I eat a good amount of soy I will have D, but if I just eat a minimal amount I get an instant headache. Sometimes its mild, but its obvious...

    On a side note, I can tell I am missing the glut a bit today because as I reread the post above I had a total homer moment and was like "...mmmmmm, PITA............Oh wait, she means pain in the ass..."
  17. aeshlea
    That is a good question that I wonder about too. The general consensus I have gotten is you need a new collander for straining (as gluten gets stuck easily in those) and you need new cooking utensils if they are wood or plastic since wood and plastic could have tiny little scratches in it that could hold the gluten. But I wonder if you just cleaned it REALLY...

    So there is wheat in them! ...hmmm..well, I guess I could have done this in the first place, duh, just check their website and see what they say. Its interesting now since people have responded to me saying they do not have any reaction..but this is what it said on their website when I checked today.. French Fries: Potatoes, vegetable oil (partially...
  19. aeshlea
    I have heard conflicting things about McD's french fries...I read in a book that they have a dedicated fryer so that gluten-free'ers can eat the fries...but then I just read something that the 'flavoring' ingredient contains wheat. Has anyone else heard this?

    I have to say this topic of self diagnosis is interesting. My boyfriend and I were watching oprah one day (he likes oprah surprizingly) and jenny mccarthy was on (or maybe that is why he 'liked oprah' that day..hmm) talking about how her son's autism basically went away when she put him on a gluten-free/casein-free diet. We got to talking and wondering if...

    Really? I guess I thought they could diagnose it, but I am new to all of this so its good to get the clarity. They do all the tests you listed above (although I am not so sure about the anti-endomysial antibodies (EMA) IgA) but it is not through blood work, its is through the stool work that I thought was actually more accurate..so I guess I am confused now...

    Hi Casey, I can't believe I am posting a reply to some else's question as I am VERY new to this..haha....but I wanted to see if you had heard of enterolab? Its all over this forum, and I dont want to assume you have heard of it, but if you haven't you should check them out. My doctors didnt know what was going on with me, and so I followed my intution and...

    I have to say thank you SOO much to everyone who has posted so far. Really great book suggestions and you guys brought up things I wouldn't have thought about (medications, shampoo, etc)along with the support. I am so grateful tfor this. I haven't started the diet yet. That happens tommorrow. I gave myself this weekend to say good bye to some of my lovers...

    So..I was just recently diagnosed as having a wheat intolerance. I am new to the forum and so thankful for the help I have received about the questions I have posted. I was lying in bed tonight after a bath and my feet were itching like crazy, also my palms a little. This is not new for me...for a long time I have had to be careful with how long I take baths...

    Is Celiac disease just advanced gluten intolerance?? Thanks...
