    May as well wait a while, I hear the replicaters are on back order too. Except for the ones at Star Gate command, they have more than enough! I'm sure you could get one there cheap!

    Yep, or pretty close to great anyway. It may take awhile, and you may have to go through the process of eliminating even more foods than wheat, rye and barley if additional food intolerances pop up. Which they tend to do for some of us. That is one of the longer threads on night sweats, but there are more than that. The topic comes up every so often. ...

    Putting yourself through "all the trouble" of following a gluten-free diet will eliminate one of the "million things" that could be causing your symptoms. You need to start somewhere right? Eating gluten-free is a heathly diet that is good for you. It doesn't need to be complicated or expensive if you follow a whole foods diet. After you have been gluten...

    I don't think peppermint is a good choice for GERD symptoms. GERD is caused by acid entering the esophagus. Peppermint relaxes the esophageal valve and makes it easier for acid to get into the esophagus. So it is the opposite effect of what is desired. Peppermint relaxes muscles, so it can also be bad for C issues.

    I saw something about the immune system being more active at night when we are sleeping recently. That could be the cause, as celiac is an auto-immune disease and the immune system does the damage and causes imflammation. Celiac damage may cause earlier menopause also. Infertility is a possible symptom. I used to have night sweats also but they went...

    HI Bill, The study about non-celiac wheat sensitivity was just published in Jul-2012. We really don't have any more knowledge about it yet to say what the effects of it are, or how it progresses etc. How it affects other parts of the body etc are totally unknown at this point. Some of the patients in the study made IgA or IgG and some didn't show...

    Ooops, ratted out by the Leessur! This is probably an article you've seen already Bill. I've read also that people with DH tend to not have as severe GI symptoms as other celiacs. They may develop them later tho. This article is about a couple conditions that do react to wheat, but are not celiac disease. They can't test for these conditions with...

    Hi Diana, Have you tried Betaine HCL? If you have a stomach acid problem you can take Betaine HCL to help riase the acid level in your stomach.

    Well LJ, I did get some sesame Halvah at the store yesterday, so that must be my treat! It doesn't have any avocadoes in it tho, but I can live with that. Purty good stuff anyway. Experimenting with the wool sweaters 'eh LJ? What a bold move! Hopefully they take them back or let you exchange them. I am experimenting with black tea myself. Seems...

    Also, many grocery stores have a separate shelf for gluten-free foods. And a separate freezer area for frozen gluten-free foods like breads etc. Many stores mark gluten-free items with a green "gluten-free" sticker or some other gluten-free label, beyond the marking on the product packaging itself. And restraunts have separate gluten-free menus sometimes...

    Soy, corn, wheat and canola oil are often genetically modified versions in the USA these days. You can look for GMO free labels or organic labels if you want to avoid GMO's. IgE immune responses are what make hayfever type symptoms, and they can come up very quickly. IgG immune responses are slower starting and with food tend to be to start the gut....

    Eww, glad I am not a rabbit then! Deer make similar pebbles and so do moose. I hope Adam isn't turning into a moose...

    Could be it isn't, ouch! Here's a listing of their search results for gluten-free products. Three pages of hits. Open Original Shared Link Lots of hits and different suppliers. Getting them (Sysco) to do a good job on gluten-free products would help a lot of restraunts become more gluten-free safe. If there is a problem that is, since Sysco...

    Well, if you have celiac disease and you don't stop eating gluten, probably not. The only treatment for celiac disease is the gluten-free diet for life. That means 100% gluten-free or as close as you can make it, with no cheating or free days etc. It is hard to avoid cross-contamination and accidents on the gluten-free diet when you are starting out. But...

    Yep, they put soy, dairy, and gluten in a whole lot of processed foods. It is very common to find one of those 3 or all of them in processed food-like products. Along of course with food preservatives, (anti-bacterials) food colorings, emulsifiers, stabilizers, fillers, and spitballs. Ok, kidding on the last one.

    Some people have gone back on gluten. If you do have celiac tho it doesn't go away. Symptoms may subside temporariily but not forever. Your body doesn't forget how to make antibodies. If it did you would die from measles or some other infectious disease pretty quick. Children who are born with celiac and go gluten-free or a while and then are told they...

    Um, you have 1. Villi blunting, a classic celiac symptom. 2. improvement on the gluten-free diet, good chance that means something about gluten is bad for you right? 3. Resumption of symptoms after returning to eating gluten. Not a cooincidence most likely. 4 Probably have malabsorbtion, classic celiac symptom. 5. Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, unfortunately...

    Hi BC, Grainless may help, but you won't know if it helps you unless you try it. I did it for a while and didn't notice anything better myself. But I am not you and your body is not nessecarily going to react like mine. Other members have gone grain free and reported good results. Some have no improvement or change. It all "depends" as they say...

    Hi M-Rods, Yes, generally speaking it is good to replace scratched old plastic and wooden utensils/bowls. Or get out the can of ellbow grease and sand the wooden stuff down and re-season it with olive oil. Plastic that is old and all scratched up is hard to really clean down in them there cracks. You should also replace toasters and colanders since...

    There are some threads about grit recipes on the forum somewhere. Grits with olive oil, salt and pepper or oats with the same, vs. sugary stuff.

    Well, the Sysco cake "may" have been gluten-free. Hard to tell. Sysco is a distributer of foods to the restraunt industry, so they resell many products that they don't make themselves. The restraunt would have to verify the manufacturer to see if it is really gluten-free. Most likely Sysco just receives it, puts it in a great big freezer or refrigerator...

    Good to Good to know, thanks Dave! Being a cheapskate, I generally go for the canned mackeral myself. But once in a while I try some tuna. I just have to fight the cat off to eat it tho.

    Hi Kim, I am pretty low carb but definitely not a vegetarian. I did that game for 5 years tho but no more. Some vegetarians tend to eat a lot of soy, which is terrible stuff for human beings. Soy is not a good sub for meat. Are you sure your thyroid situation is under control? If you aren't getting enough thyroid hormone it can be harder...

    Hi, Sounds ilke you may have a gluten sensitivty (NCGI) or celiac disease. Please start eating gluten again (hate to say that) and keep with it until the testing is completed. The antibodies to gluten start decreasing when you are not eating it. So to get the best test accuracy you need to contniue eating gluten. Tell your doctor you want the full...

    Right Wolfie, nighshades are peppers, tomatoes, white potatoes (not sweet taters) and eggplant. Onions and garlic are not a problem if it is nightshades she is worried about.
