    New Beginnings Nutritionals has B12 without sorbitol / mannitol / etc. Here is the link: Open Original Shared Link Other Ingredients: Purified water and potassium sorbate and citric acid. Also I heard (but I am not sure) that Pure Encapsulations has pure B12 as well. Hope that helps.

    I can understand your friend, I am from Belarus (another ex-USSR country) and everybody I know has never heard of celiac disease / gluten intolerance there at all. Bread along with dairy are staple foods in Russian diet and culture. I live in Canada and I am intolerant to both gluten and dairy, so I actually dread my upcoming trip to visit my parents... ...

    Lisa, you said you do not eat egg yolks. Can you eat other food that contains natural sulphur, e.g. cabbage, cauliflower, onion, garlic, etc?

    Some people have sensitive stomachs and can not digest raw vegetables, may be that is your case too? I can not eat pretty much anything raw, I have to cook it first. As for the problem with bell peppers, I can not tolerate peppers with their skin on, they give me digestive issues. I have to roast them in the oven on 425F for 15 minutes, then put them in a...

    Hello Geoff, I do not have hives (knock on wood), but I do have certain "allergic-like" reactions to chemicals in foods, specifically histamine and amine. Did you consider Chronic Urticaria? Histamine-restricted diet is known to help manage this condition without antihistamines or with the minimal amount of antihistamies. You can read more about urticaria...

    I am too intolerant to gluten, dairy, soy and corn. My other sensitivities are not as bad, meaning that I can handle limited amount of nuts / legumes, e.g. on holidays. But it would make my life so much easier if I would be just intolerant to gluten, dairy, soy and corn and wouldn't have my additional amine / histamine intolerance! I have some kind...

    I am too one of the very sensitive celiacs. In my case sometimes it is hard to determine if I was glutened because I have very similar reactions to corn as well, my symptoms are mostly non-digestive, I get very depressed and tired. In addition to that I still do not feel well most of the time, I have other issues, so it is hard to determine whether I feel...

    Here is a list of corn-free products: Open Original Shared Link Here is a list of corn-free and gluten-free products: Open Original Shared Link These lists are outdated (they were current as of December 2007 and October 2007 respectively) but still they might be helpfull. Also here is the list of the ingredients that are derived or might be derived...

    Gentleheart, Authentic Foods states on their website: "Authentic Foods manufactures Gluten-Free Flours, Mixes, and Baking Supplies. All of our flours are stone milled and packaged in a wheat-free and gluten-free environment." Open Original Shared Link) They carry a whole line of baking supplies. Their products are somewhat expensive, but their flours...

    Is it possible that you are sensitive to corn / cornstarch? Glutino bagels and all of their bakery products contain corn in some form. Corn gives me a very similar reaction to glutening (not always digestive issues), so in the beginning of my gluten-free diet I thought I was getting glutened a lot, until I excluded corn from my diet.

    I think "Let's Do Organic" Coconut doesn't have any sulfites in it: Open Original Shared Link

    Ryza rice milk is gluten free. It is available in Loblaws (at least in Ontario) and health stores in the refrigerated section as well as shelf-stable: Open Original Shared Link

    It is called fructose malabsorption or Dietary Fructose Intolerance (there is another type Hereditary Fructose Intolerance which is genetic). Wikipedia has a nice article about it: Open Original Shared Link It is diagnosed with a hydrogen breath test, very similar to the lactose intolerance testing. I am surprised the doctor doesn't know about this. ...

    I actually eliminated casein almost 1 year before eliminating gluten. And even before that I was dairy-lite for 1 year, i.e. I figured out I was lactose intolerant and ate only sour cream / yogurt / cottage cheese occasionally. However, only after eliminating gluten I started to feel better, so this theory about casein being the culprit definitely does not...

    Thanks, ShayFL. I am sure my stomach was damaged / irritated before HCL, probably from gluten consumption, but I didn't have any symptoms of digestive issues before I started taking HCL. I did have (I still have some of them) a bunch of weird and unexplained symptoms which I realized were connected to digestion only in the summer of 2007 and that's why I...

    Hi Georgie, Apples are usually high in salicylates. Tomatoes are high in salicylates, amines and naturally occuring glutamates. So may be it is possible that you are actually not fructose intolerant but can not tolerate salicylates. You can read more about salicylates intolerance and Failsafe diet here: Open Original Shared Link Here is a list of foods...

    I just wanted to warn people. My stomach "crisis" which led to my gluten intolerance diagnosis actually started from me taking 1 tab of Betaine HCl before dinner (once a day) on the advise of my naturopath. It was in October 2007. I did not have any burning sensations in my stomach after taking Betaine HCl. Actually in the first 2 days everything was great...

    Rachel, Thank you very much for your answer. I too do a lot of my own research. Your post gives me a lot of material to think about and to research. I too react to the food dyes, preservatives, additives, nitrates, BHT, BHA and other synthetic chemicals. Also perfumes, tobacco smoke, household cleansers (non-natural), etc. That was actually the first...

    Rachel, My allergy tests did not show anything either, even wheat / gluten sensitivity. I got tested positive through Enterolab for gluten sensitivity / intolerance. I do feel better on gluten-free diet, however, my issues didn't go away after almost 6 months on this diet and I am starting to think that gluten is just one answer, not the complete answer...

    Hi Leslie, In my original e-mail to them I asked about shared equipment too; they completely ignored my question and just wrote that they test their enzymes after processing and they are gluten free. Also as I wrote in a different topic my V-Gest bottle has statement "Manufactured for Enzymedica, Inc." May be I read too much into this statement but...
  22. ive
    I react to their V-Gest enzymes as well. I stopped taking it and now take a different more powerfull digestive enzyme and I don't have any side effects, no die-off effects. I thought it was a die-off effect in the beginnining, may be because of Candida. But no, I am fine with different digestive enzyme. I suspect I react because it contains 300 Dp of Maltase...

    Hello All, Does anybody use Dr Ken mouthwash? Is it safe? I contacted the company about a week ago but I didn't get any reply yet. The ingredients seem to be OK, but I am very sensitive and I thought may be someone here uses this product. Here is their website: Open Original Shared Link Here are the ingredients of Maximum Care Mouthwash: Green...

    Leslie-FL, did you hear anything back from Enzymedica? I read this topic: Open Original Shared Link and apparently malt diastase or maltase can be made from barley. V-Gest has 300 Dp of Maltase. I wonder if that is why I react to V-Gest. I guess it tests below the 20 ppm or whatever threshold they use to test it, but it's enough for me to react. My current...

    I don't have children and I don't know how old your son is, so my advice might be irrelevant. If your son is old enough, may be you can make a deal with him that he will not eat anything with gluten for a month and you will revisit this question of eating gluten-free in a month. Hopefully in a month his major symptoms will clear up and he will see that...
