    There is a very similar product called Purevia, which I like quite a bit and they explicitly state it is gluten free. Therefore I like them. Truvia seems shifty, although I'm going to make an attempt to contact them and find out.

    I posted this on another thread, but in Texas and Illinois Starbucks has switched from Silk. I suspect it is nationwide. I read the label but it wasn't clear that it was gluten-free. There were natural flavors. I need to contact them on Monday. Also, some Tazo flavors are gluten-free. In fact most of them. However some are not --2 or 3. One unsafe...

    Starbucks in both Illinois and Texas have switched to some sort of generic brand for soy milk. I suspect it's nationwide. I have not been able to contact them to figure out if it is gluten free yet. I looked at the box and it has natural flavors, which can often mean barley in these kinds of "milks". The people working there were unable to tell me...

    BTW--Gluten and dairy both trip your opioid receptors. If you're ditching both, it's gonna be a rough ride. You can do it though. Just don't give in.

    I went through three weeks of headaches. It sucked. It was absolutely withdrawal. It goes away. Hang in there. I have accidentally ingested a significant amount of gluten a couple of times now and I got headaches afterward, though not as intense or for as long.

    "They can biopsy the area beside the rash, make sure they don't do the rash itself. The antibodies are found in the intact skin next to the outbreak. " I had a biopsy done wrong--of the lesion itself. Has anyone else had this happen and do you know what were the conclusions of the pathologist? Mine said "lymphocytic infiltration with eosinophils consistent...

    yes!! Chest, arms, tummy. Mine usually pinker and 2mm or so across, but sometimes they can be reasonably bright. Usually shows up in the morning for me. For a while I would wake up every morning and dread looking at my arms, because if I saw them I knew I was going to feel yucky for at least a few hours. I have been gluten-free since march, but it didn...

    I have wondered about "mild" DH. I get these little red spots on my forearms that show up 8-10 hours after I eat something bad. Bad for me is gluten or casein. Sometimes I get really nauseated when I get them, and sort of shaky or weak. They don't itch though. And they go away any time between 8 hours and 4 days later, without blistering or scabbing...

    I was actually diagnosed with narcolepsy in mid-2005. I started having other problems in the fall of 2005, and given my family history I went gluten free later in the year. I now sleep normal amounts and don't, say, fall asleep in my car at the post office. Now, I don't think I actually had narcolepsy. The way it's diagnosed is by making you take this...

    Does anyone know if people following gluten free (or any other food free) diets are at an increased risk for developing true allergies to foods? I'm gluten free for a month and a half now, but I also have casein issues, namely when I eat casein I get very mild hives several hours later. Sometimes it's even as late as the next morning. This is probably...

    Well, they don't itch--like at all! I'm on a LOT of antihistamines, leukotriene inhibitors, etc since it's Oaky out in Texas right now, so itching may not be actually possible for me. But they do look kind of like tiny pimples. Definitely no blistering or scarring and they go away pretty fast. Also, they appear on my belly, collarbone, and the insides...

    Greetings! I'm wondering, has anyone had an experience where they had chronic hives, went gluten free, and the hives went away in conjunction with TPO antibodies going down? I know that gluten-free can lower organ specific antibodies in celiac patients, and that TPO can cause chronic hives. I'm just wondering if anyone has actually lived this chain...
