Haven't visited this forum in some time, but I am so relieved to come here and find a conversation already happening about the Chex cereals. I am having bad reactions to the Corn Chex. After reading this thread, I realized I have to learn more about the BHT preservative, but I also wonder if the problem doesn't revolve around contamination in manufacture...

What a great thread! Thanks for such reassuring messages. Like the person with the original question, I too am "only" gluten and dairy intolerant (endoscopy and blood tests all neg) but have been Gluten-free Casein-free for over two years now. Now 7 weeks pregnant and unknowingly getting "glutened" for the past three weeks by my supposedly gluten-free prenatal...

I haven't been on this forum in a while but am glad to come back for discussions just like this one. I am (finally) pregnant again and picked up the same New Chapter Organics Perfect Prenatal Vitamins from Whole Foods as soon as I found out. I did not see the "oats" listed in the ingredients (I really do need bifocals I guess!), but I did see the "naturally...

My son had similar problems when he was young, but the culprit was dairy. We were told it was lactose intolerance; however, he even got sick on baked goods with milk in them (from what I understood cooking a food changed the sugar composition so lactose should not have been an issue). He has become more tolerant, eating solid and semi-solid cheeses, as well...

I have a problem with caffeine in general, so sensitive that a cup of decaf coffee will keep me awake and frazzled for two days straight. I did have my "normal" intolerance reactions when drinking coffee a while ago, but that was before I discovered that dairy was the source of the reactions (not the coffee).

I find that remembering to rotate foods seems to help too. I don't have any medical factoids or studies to back this up, but I think that when your gut has undergone such damage, it is easy for what is at first a "safe" food to become a "trigger" food. I have been gluten and dairy free for just over a year now, but I had this problem with potatoes and other...

Nature Made Enhanced Absorption Calcium 750mg + D + K. 300 tablet bottles at Costco. It was Gluten-free Casein-free when I bought my bottle several months ago. You can double check at www.naturemade.com and 800-276-7878.

I found I still had major mood swings because I was still exposing myself to irritating foods. Turns out, that after going gluten free last year (which went a long way to curing my mood swings), I also had to cut out all dairy and caffeine as well. Although I still go back and do decaf or halfcaf for a week now and then. Until the moodswings, jitters and...

I just love all the ideas on this thread. I need to revisit and take notes. I have done weekend road trips and one two week stay on the east coast in the past year. I just wanted to mention a bar that I stock up for travel or all-day out emergencies: ORGANIC FOOD BAR, comes in different flavors. I get the PROTEIN bar, 22g. No preservatives, additives...

I know this post is older, but I have not been on the forum in some time and I just starting to reacquaint myself. I get super cold after I eat something to which I am intolerant: gluten and dairy (and apparently oats). It is a major, systemic "allergic" response for me: bone-chilling cold accompanied by joint pain and a low grade fever. It has taken...

My dietician told me to try Nature Made "enhanced absorption" Calcium 750 mg + D + K . They are available at Costco right now. They are gluten free, I don't know about the soy part, but you can check the company website or call customer service. I am also told that you also need to be taking magnesium in order to enhance calcium absorption.

I am so psyched to hear that! I had called the Sugar House location to ask about them and was told I was misinformed, only the downtown slc location had them. It seems it is be the franchise owner's decision and this one could not decide if it was worth it or could manage the gluten-free cooking process. I was bummed. Draper is far enough away that I may...

I feel your pain! I had blood work done in July 07, but then couldn't get in to a GI doctor until October, for which a consult was required before the endoscopy. So the endoscopy was not done until the week AFTER THANKSGIVING. AND no one told me how much or how little gluten I needed to eat in order to take the test. So naturally I had all my favorite foods...

Hey there Meline, I get the tingling and numbness in hands, feet and sometimes face as well. The face is rare, the feet are getting better since going gluten free at the beginning of the year. The hands are another story because I have nerve damage from carpal tunnel syndrome. You asked about nightshades earlier, this refers to edible plants (there are...

I would second one of the previous comments about checking into the ratings from Consumer Reports for appliances. Reliability was key to use, customer satisfaction etc. We chose LG, and have been happy with it, but only discovered afterwards that the closest company able to service it in case of a problem is two hours away (we live in Utah). I am happy to...
