    Oh, just read, that peppermint has high amounts of salicylates, too. I remember alone in the last month I drank like 3 packages of peppermint tea, cause I'm trying to loose weight and the peppermint flavor is the only flavor I don't need sugar with.

    WOW... I think, I might be on to something here. I had some hip trouble coming on a few months ago and finally about 3 weeks ago it was so bad (I posted this on here as an emergency), that I almost went to the emergency room. I couldn't stand, lay down, or walk for days and had three chiropractor appointments . My left foot was numb from the little...

    Now my question is, is there a website or post somewhere like a list that lists most of the Salicylate free foods you can have? I'm using myself as a guinea pig right now and I think, I'm on to something. No insurance for doctors, but want to try this diet as an exclusion diet and see what happens. Thanks for all the info!

    I've been doing research on fibromyalgia lately and I'm still in the middle of reading the book "What your doctor may not tell you about fibromyalgia" and I've been really surprised how much it mentions most of the problems mentioned here as symptoms of the fibro . It says that the vulvodynia can be one symptom of the fibro and tons of women have both. So...

    Ooops I have to put up a correction. I have not read the book "What your doctor may not tell you about fibromyalgia fatigue". I did read the other book by the same authors "What your doctor may not tell you about fibromyalgia". Now in the book I've read and which is a pretty old version, Dr. Amand talks a lot about fibromyalgia AND fatigue and because it...

    3 days ago I came across the book "What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Fibromyalgia: The Revolutionary Treatment That Can Reverse The Disease" by R. Paul St. Amand and Claudia Craig Marek . I'm not so sure, that the symptoms that I had are the ones of gluten ataxia, because while reading the book I learnt that numbness and tingling of limbs can be...

    I'm on a solution search for my recent what I believed at first was a glutening with then following numbness of my left foot and incredible pain in my left hip, that seemed to get worse, whenever somebody touched me. 3 days ago I came across the above mentioned book "What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Fibromyalgia Fatigue: The Powerful Program That Helps...

    Hi everybody, I just found this article on glutenfreely. Just wanted to post it here, cause I think, it's awesome. There's a dedicated gluten free deli starting today at ACME supermarkets. They are around Philly and I don't know where else. I've looked at Harrisburg and surroundings and couldn't find any , but at least Philly won't have this "deli insecurity...

    That is so true. I just noticed that the other day, when I was looking for gluten free products to write a story about. The times they are a-changing, I guess. I can't wait what other yummie stuff will be out there.

    I have a question and hope to find somebody, who knows. I have about 15 packages of Wildfruit fruit snacks at home and was wondering, if they are gluten free. I couldn't find a webpage that gave me more information and I had no reaction after eating them, so I was wondering, if somebody else made any experiences with these or knows more. Thanks for...

    Oh, and here's another quick update on the Giant in Carlisle. The glutenfree food is not in isle #9 anymore. They had major construction and reassembling. NOW the glutenfree food is when you enter through the right entrance. It is right there in that first isle you look on. The frozen stuff is, when you walk back the isle on the left side of that glutenfree...

    Didn't read all the posts in this thread, but I have to say without a doubt, that for me the best bread would be Udi's. Why? Because it tasts super great, even when not toasted.
  13. stef-the-kicking-cuty
    OK now. I did not go to the emergency room. But I wanted to let everybody know, what I've found out. I've done some research now on this board and on other places and came to the conclusion, that this must be gluten ataxia with some kind of arthralgia (or whatever you call it). Because of the numbness/tingling of my foot and the twitching in my leg. I also...

    I even sometimes use the FlyLady ideas for my kids classes. Like FlyLady teaches them to put their toys away and setting a timer and making it into a game. I let my student race each other by putting the matts away. The winner gets a price in form of a foam jewel, that they can trade in for other goodies once the time to trade it in comes. The more foam jewels...

    To Karen: They do have a great section for Kids in the FlyLady program. I'm getting their e-mails. I chose for daily delivery and every few days there is an e-mail for "The kids challenge". When I'm bored I read into them. Sometimes they have great motivators and "games" to get the room cleaned. It's pretty cool. The last thing I remember, that I read was...

    Thanks for your answer. The thing is, every once in a while it becomes better, like now. It's not completely gone, but it's a lot better, now that I've been walking around and preparing dinner. Strange! Just wanted to know, if anybody on here had this before, cause I know, I never did and it is very unusual for me to have this.
  17. stef-the-kicking-cuty
    Aaaauaaa! I'm in terrible pain today. I think, something that I ate might have had gluten in it, which is strange as I've had everything before with no reaction. Even the nonpareils, that don't even have a lable. Just wanted to know, if somebody else has had this kind of pain before and if yes, what it is. I'm guessing nerves here, but not sure. It's kinda...

    You have to go to the chat before you read anything else. The games can really draw you in. Here's the link: Open Original Shared Link Glad I could help. If you see a LoyalSteffi, that's me. Oh, and you need to sign in as a guest. Everybody does. Just check the guest box and pick a name and then go in. It'll be alright. If you introduce yourself and...

    Somebody mentioned the FlyLady. Honestly, I've been doing the FlyLady thing since about a year now and I've pretty much brought my household under control. I used to be the biggest procrastinator and slob. FlyLady turned my life around literally. I also sat in front of the computer a lot and couldn't get motivated. Give it a shot, it's an awesome community...

    Oooo, fun post. 1: Nutella (yes, with a spoon ) 2: Snickers 3: Watermelons 4: Apples with sugar and cinnamon 5: Muddy Buddies (the recipe is on the Chex cereal boxes) 6: Nonpareils 7: Mickey Mouse cheese 8: Tortilla chips 9: Yoplait Yoghurt 10: Sour patch (not sure, if this is entirely glutenfree though, I tend to get a slight headache...

    Don't know, if this answer comes a little late. Just wanted to add part of my story. I had migraines for 7 years every single day. After going glutenfree on 07/21/2004 it took about a week and I've been migraine free every since. Now I haven't had one single migraine in almost 7 years. Just a slight to middle headache, whenever I get glutened, which is rare...
  22. stef-the-kicking-cuty
    Yes, that is very comforting indeed!

    I just realized to my shame, that I haven't been here in ages. I also lost my job roughly a month ago and have been looking for a new job ever since. Now my new job, starting today, caused me to stop by here, since I can need all help in the world from the celiac community in and around Harrisburg. My new job is news author for gluten free for Harrisburg...

    I haven't been here in a while, but I'm gonna chime right in. I have experienced the same problem and thought, I was alone with this. Now why is that?
  25. stef-the-kicking-cuty
    I get real bad sciatica every time I'm glutened and when I'm glutened only. I thought this was really weird, until I saw this post. Apparently not. I feel a lot better now, knowing that apparently I'm not the only one. Oh, and I can crack my own back and fix it with that. And same as julie, the MRI didn't show anything. And I have a very strong back, too...
