    Before I went gluten-free I could never eat more that one piece of popcorn or else my throat would get sick for lack of a better term. My throat muscles and neck would hurt and I would get this white sheet with white solids in the back of my throat and on my tonsils. Just recently I started eating popcorn again and all these popcorn ill effects are gone...

    BUTTER! Butter doesn't contain gluten, or does it? I know it is dairy, but what are the other concerns with butter? thanks mark

    Living gluten-free keeps the bipolar away. I don't have any trouble staying off gluten just knowing that. I don't take any meds for the swings. I just have to deal with the symptoms for a few days after the glutening. I absolutely hate bipolar swings, not sure how I or anybody else can tolerate those cruel cycles. In hindsight, I'm not sure how I've...

    I have a question about clear thinking and long term/short term memory. I have done my best to go gluten free, but am still having trouble with my thinking. It seems that being gluten-free has burned off the brain fog, leaving me mentally kind of numb. My thinking is still slow and my short term memory is pretty awful. I have strong reason to believe...

    It took about three days for my depression to begin to subside. It seems like the depression tapered off for a week or so, providing some kind of happy high for me. All my life, I suffered from bad manic depression cycles and being gluten-free has completely stopped the cycling. However, upon being glutened, I feel the cycle come back. The mania...

    Depression and gluten go hand in hand for me. I have always suffered from an awful bipolar like nuisance and when I went gluten-free, the mood roller coaster settled out. As far as I can remember, these manic/depressive swings have been with me. I could go from manic to depressed in hours and this cycle would repeat at least several times a week . If...

    I read somewhere that Candida may cause a person to have a wicked sweet tooth, when it is starving for sugars. Is there any truth to this and could this be a sign of Candida either dying off or coming back?

    Exactly! It wakes me up at night, usually between 1 and 3 AM . It also causes my breath to be very shallow for the duration of it. I suspect caffeine may be part of my issue, but I am still trying to find a correlation.

    I get that awful twitching spasm on my left quadrant. Absolutely hate it. I've read that it could be a vitamin A deficiency. Wish I could find out how to stop it for good.

    Gluten caused me neurological issues, too. I used to be constantly told by everybody (family and co-workers): listen, focus, concentrate,the answer is right in front of you, pay attention, etc,,,. I always made mistakes doing the simplest of things both at work and home. Everybody, including myself, could depend on me making mistakes at work and home-that...

    I was given a blind (self stupidity) test last night at a restaurant, is goes as follows: I didn't eat the salad because it had croutons(good). I didn't eat bread (good, uh duh). I ate the baked potatoe w/ salt and pepper (good). I ate a teriyaki marinated steak. I truly convinced myself that I had eaten NO gluten, and my wife concurred. Anyway...

    Once a person has eliminated wheat/gluten from their diet, they have just made that fewer vitamins available in their diet. As wheat contains (at a minimum) thiamine, niacin, iron, zinc riboflavin and other trace minerals, what can we do to make sure we get all required vitamins and minerals? Is there one food type (fruit, vegetable or meat) that has about...

    I went to the store today and asked the pharmacist where I could find gluten free vitamins. She said that the small amount in the vitamins wouldn't hurt me. "WHAT"? I said "That little amount would definitely make me sick and uncomfortable". I said "maybe you should read up on Celiacs", then she walked off kind of PO. I see people regularly that show...

    Over a week ago, I eliminated gluten from my diet and am slowly seeing some health benefits. My problem is that I used to eat about 3000+ calories a day and not even feel full. For about a week now I have been eating about 1000 a day (probably less) and feel satisfied (not hungry). Pre gluten-free, I weighed 215 lb (overweight), now I am 203 after a...

    Recently I have stopped consuming all known gluten. I (35 yrs old) have always suffered from insomnia and it was very rare that I didn't wake up at O-dark-thirty for no reason. I also used to log roll for hours in the bed before falling asleep. Since being gluten free, I have had the best RESTFUL sleep in my life. The insomnia and the rolling is gone...

    I am gluten intolerant (my sister is diagnosed Celiac, but I'm not tested yet) and I had these Keratosis pilaris all over my legs (especially thighs), back and real bad on the backs of my arms/forearms. Gluten made my body itchy and these bumps itched too, so I was in a constant state of itching for 25+ years. 3 days after being gluten free and the Keratosis...

    I have eliminated wheat from my diet and have very amazing results! This is a long winded chronology, but I feel I have to get this out. Maybe there is some stuff here to learn. About 4 months ago I started to get this real strong pinching feeling under my left ribs, inside of my abdomen. I ignored it. This pain continued to worsen until immediately...
