    Just wanted to chime in and agree that washing any meat before cooking it is a good idea. Chicken or not.

    Seems like you could find out if gluten is the problem by going back on the gluten-free diet. Yes, other people have reported msucle pains due to gluten. Some of them severe There are 300 symptoms for celiac so it covers an awful lot of possibilities.

    Hi LJ, The doctor testing for staph seems reasonable to me. My dentist always wants me to take antibiotcs before I come in due to some metal in my body. She said infections can get moving around and lodge in places like that. That terminator dude must have been in real trouble! Taking it slow is a good idear. It is easier to add foods to a limited...

    Eat plenty of meats, eggs, avocadoes, fish, and nuts. I don't suggest sugar and carbs because they can cause other problems.

    Hi LJ, That's too bad about the sweet potatoes. Maybe after a few months of eating a proper diet like yo mama told you to you will heal enuff to eat them. Sometimes that works for people. Usually they suggest waiting 6 months after stopping a food to challenge it again. I am dairy free also. And carrot free, and grape-free and nightshade and soy...

    If your corny things break when you bend them, wet them with water before heating. They soften up nicely then. Just hold them under running water for an instant, or throw a damp paper towel over them, or put them in a pan with a little steam and a lid..

    Hi, If you want to be tested you should start eating gluten again right away, and stay on it until the testing is completed. The antibodies drop off when you stop eating gluten, and that makes the testing even more unreliable. Doctors reccommend different durations for how long to eat gluten before testing. Usually it is in the range of 6 weeks to ...

    Hi Whitepine, Sorry you aren't feeling well yet. Some of us have other food intolerances show up after going gluten-free. You may have to cut out other foods besides gluten to feel better. Nightshades are one food group that seems to cause joint pain for people. Soy is another problem food for some. Actually we can develop intolerances to any food...

    My mother's shoulder pain reacted to weather changes. She would never arm wrestle when a big storm was coming.

    Hi Drea, This link is for one of the studies mentioned in your links. It does say there is some increase in nitric oxide in some celiac patients (6 of 10 that were studied), but not nearly as much as for gluten. Four of 10 had almost no change in NO (nitric oxide). They are using NO as a possible marker of inflammation. I agree that corn can affect...

    Hi Filmguy, If she is having trouble breathing after eating wheat it could be a an allergic reaction. That is very serious and can be life threatening. She should probably have allergy testing in a doctors office, and maybe carry an n EPI pen. Celiac is not an allergic reaction but is an autoimmune disease. But people do sometimes have both cel\iac...

    Hi Mars the Red planet, Yes, you can have celiac damage even if a biopsy doesn't show it. The small intestine is around 20 to 22 feet long, and the endoscopy probe can only reach the first 5 feet or so. There's a lot of unexplored territory there.

    Hi MCBPHD1, Recovery time can vary an awful lot. Try folowing these tips and see if things improve. Get your vitamin/mineral levels tested also. Don't eat in restaurants Eat only whole foods not processed foods. Eat only food you cook yourself, think simple foods, not gourmet meals. Take probiotics. Take gluten-free vitamins. Take digestive...

    ARCHIVED Sjogren's

    GFinDC replied to june27's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    Hi June, I don't have Sjogrens but I do have allergies. My allergies wer bad before going gluten-free but they have improved a tremendous amount. One thing I wanted to suggest is the possibility of food causing some of the dryness. Food intolerances can result in many varied symptoms. Maybe at some point it would be helpful for you to try an elimination...

    Sounds good Andrei, you do what works best for you of course. I agree, medical care is darned expensive here in the U.S. This forum helps a lot because we can share information on what works for us. Here is a thread on nettle tea and inflammation. So the doctors can't hide things from us forever! http://www.celiac.co...r-inflammation/

    Hi Bill, Glad it wasn't Domino's. Nothing against them but it is not a good bet for celiacs per their own statements. There was quite an uproar about Domino's gluten-free pizza advertising earlier this year I steer clear of dairy because of casein. Casein is one of the proteins in cow dairy. Soem of us react to casein as well as lactose (dairy sugar...

    Been a while for me, but in the past it has been about 30 minutes until I get stomach gas and start belching some rather odd smelling gas. What's interesting is it always smells the same, and is my "glutened" gas belch.. Not like any other gas I might have. So I know when I have been hit by that gas smell and fast reaction. Recovery has varied from a couple...

    HI, I've had ulcers also. Here are some thigns that helped me. DGL (deglysterenized licorice) is good for ulcers. Also mastic gum. Take them both 3 times a day, and especially before bed. Also stop drinkig alcohol until you are better. Eating gluten won't affect you either negatively or positivlly if you are not celiac or NCGI. If you had symmptoms...

    Hi Andrei, Congrats on the 72 hours! You are on your way! I do want to caution you about testing though. If you are going to get tested, it is much better to do that right now. If you wait until later you will need to start eating gluten again for possibly up to 3 months before the antibodies build up enough to show on a test. Even then they may...

    Pepto Bismol and lots of water, plus aspirin. Avoid sugary things as they can make the bloating worse.

    Hi, It is a good idea to get your vitamins and mineral levels tested. For the celiac antibody testing it is important to keep eating gluten right through the testing. After all the testing is done you can go gluten-free right away. It is also a good idea to write down your symptoms before you go to the doctor so you don't forget to tell them something...

    Ham and beans today. Put in some mushrooms and onion also. More mullein tea.

    Hi AVR, One of the things that helps me with back issues is stretching my back. I have a doorway in my house that I can grab hold of and hang from for a few seconds at a time. The weight of my body pulls the back out and things kind of snap into place. I have done this in the past when thinigs were out of place and kind of wiggled around while hanging...
