I react to even the smallest amounts of gluten, but I've been fine with the gluten free Rice Chex, if that helps.

Thank you so much, ShayFL, for doing that research for me, and also to ive for sharing your experiences. I have been feeling bad about pointing a finger at the company that makes GlutenEase, but whatever it is that is causing the problem, whether I am ultra-sensitive to the bacteria itself or whether there is cross-contamination, I just know I can't take...

I was diagnosed with PCOS about 9 years ago, at the same time I found out I had started into early menopause (that runs in my family, so I wasn't surprised - plus, the hot flashes had already warned me something was up). I also have PMDD. I don't know if there is a connection to Celiac, but I went on YAZ for the PMDD a few months after I started eating...

Linda, Yes, you definitely want to avoid barley grass. I bought some vitamins a few months ago and was in a hurry and somehow missed the words "barley grass" on the label until after I had taken one, and I had a pretty bad reaction to the one pill. I gave the rest of the bottle away to my sister, who doesn't have a problem with gluten.

Oh, P.S. Thank you for the info, Nancym, about the supplements. I've actually been taking some really good supplements and amino acids for awhile, and I notice a big improvement. All I have to do is forget to take them or get off schedule and I can feel the difference. I learned about them a couple years ago, when I was researching to find out what to...

Thank you for the supportive comments, everyone. ShayFL is right - I don't have an official diagnosis, but the company I work for is very small and casual, so there is no HR to go to - my boss is the owner and he IS HR. lol. I have explained gluten intolerance to him (kind of the short version explanation) and he seems to understand pretty well...

I've been in the same job for almost 11 years, and during the three-or-so years leading up to my discovery that gluten was my biggest problem, the "brain fog" and lack of focus caused huge problems with my ability to do my job properly. Once I went gluten free just over a year ago, my job performance improved and things got better and better, until about...

I've been going through my kitchen and getting rid of things like plastic cutting boards, colanders, scratched nonstick cookware, plastic plates and bowls, etc. - anything that may have absorbed gluten before I went gluten-free. And then I came to this wood-looking salad set. I'm not sure if it's actual wood - it looks like little pieces of wood all molded...

The other day, I was in the grocery store, and when I touched the cart handle, I noticed it was wet underneath. Probably, someone spilled soda on it and the liqid ran to the bottom part of the handle, but it was freaking me out, and I was pushing the cart by the sides, beside the handle, and being really careful not to touch my face. Of course, I know a...

This isn't a makeup counter brand, but there is a thread about a makeup company here: Open Original Shared Link They offer free samples, you just pay the postage. I haven't ordered my samples yet, but I undertsand the shipping isn't too high. The people who have tried it seem really excited.

I'm sorry for taking so long to reply -- I still haven't heard anything from Enzymedica, and I'm feeling like I likely won't hear from them. I stopped taking the Pro-Bio and have been doing much better (until last night, when I did a stupid thing*). I didn't see any mention of maltase on the Pro-Bio bottle, but if they make them on the same equipment, it...

I'm with you on this -- 1 out of 10 people getting damage is 1 too many.

Thank you, ive. I wonder if, when they say they are tested, they mean they are tested to be under whatever ppm is considered safe (I forget what the number is). Maybe a lot of people don't react to amounts that small, but you and I happen to be two people who do? That could explain why a lot of people have no problem with the enzymes. The reason I...

Did you have any dairy products since last night? I noticed during the first several months of my healing after going gluten free that I would get D whenever I would eat cheese. That still happens now, whenever I am accidentally glutened, but not when I haven't been.
