    After eating gluten-free rice noodles last night with the most delicious tomato sauce on the planet and getting sick, I was confused as ever. Sick? Over spaghetti? I looked at the ingredients of the tomato sauce. Sure enough: soybean oil. I guess the dilemma over whether it's soy that makes me sick in addition to casein is solved, but I just want to...

    The first six months were really, really, really hard for me. (And sometimes it still is!) My best advice is to make sure to always take food with you, especially in the beginning. Friends and family may not understand gluten, and you don't want to be at someone's house, realize you can't eat dinner and then have *nothing* else available to eat. That's...

    I had a lot of problems with this, especially when I was first diagnosed. I was mad at the world, essentially, and everyone who ate gluten in front of me. You know, the longer I stay gluten-free, the easier it is. But the second I get really, really hungry and there's nothing available to me is the time that I would cheat. Now I've gotten really good...

    I experienced that, and *thought* I was getting glutened all the time. I was drinking all Lactaid when I used milk at all and didn't know what was making me sick. By trial and error, I've figured out recently that it is the casein in milk I am reacting to, not lactose. I tried goat's milk for myself, because *some* can tolerage goat when they can't tolerate...

    Recipes! Can we have recipes?

    I second the idea in the last post ... For me, the problem was my symptoms were SO diverse. And to this day I'm convinced I receive the Dx only because I mentioned to a new doctor that my aunt is gluten intolerant and I wondered if I had it, too. When I go back to my primary for my annual checkup, I plan to do a good deal of education to him. (: (He...

    I don't know if you are aware, but you can use a health flexible savings account to pay for the cost of gluten- and casein-free foods above the cost of regular foods, provided they are to treat a medical condition. I plan to do this next year, but it is a bit of a paperwork nightmare. Considering my grocery costs about doubled, though, it will be nice to...

    ARCHIVED Can Anyone Help!?

    I don't know what the test results mean, but my brother's tests all came back normal -- and he had the endoscopy. But if he eats gluten, he gets quite sick. Let us know how the Enterolab test goes!

    Thanksgiving is coming! It will be easy at my grandmother's house because my aunt, my brother and I all can't eat gluten and the family makes plenty of dishes we can eat and makes sure the turkey is safe. However, at my other half's family, it will be a little different. This is our first Thanksgiving together, so I feel a little weird making demands...

    Sorry to post two topics so quickly, but I just found you guys and have tons of questions. I'm nearing the end of my 2nd week casein free, and feeling 1,000 times better. I wished I had known about the casein thing a long time ago -- not just eliminated lactose. Anyway, when I initially went off gluten, my pimples cleared up 95 percent after years of...

    I'm wondering now if soy is one of my reactors. Can you help break down any hidden sources of soy that you had to eliminate?

    Hi all! I'm new around here. Anyhow, here's the short version ... Been gluten-free for about 9 months, but have still been having problems sporadically. I assumed I was getting glutened. I now believe that casein is behind it after switching to lactose-free products and still having problems. Now I have been trying to be casein-free, but it's also an...
