    I found a post here that recommends Rancho Gordo. They are supposed to grow only beans. I haven't tried them yet.

    I was on a big roller coaster emotionally when I first went gluten free. It didn't help that I frequently glutened myself. It seems like gluten has a strong impact on the emotions. I spent a lot of time feeling like life with this condition was just too difficult and I might as well end it all. Now I recognize that it wasn't that life is so hard with...

    An Amy's representative told me that they test their food to under 5 ppm gluten. I think that that is very responsible of them, especially since the FDA recommendations set gluten free at 20 ppm. I still can't eat it though. I am very sensitive just like Oceangirl.

    I found that I had to eliminate soy yogurt and tofu, but I could tolerate soy if I bought edaname in the shell and shelled it myself. Sometimes mushrooms bother me and sometimes they don't. Same with strawberries. One company says that they grow them on plastic and not on straw, and I do well with those. It seems like I have become more sensitive to trace...

    This did not happen to me after my colonoscopy. It did happen to me when I first went on the gluten free diet like Wolicki, and now, when I get glutened. It usually passes within a few days now.

    I'm pretty sure that I have been glutened by mushrooms, but then again, I am very sensitive to low levels of gluten. Maybe that's why.

    Yes, my reactions aren't as bad, and they go away faster. It's great! It's been 2.5 years.

    I'm very sensitive, but we went to a gluten free household before I could get more healthy days. I also stopped taking vitamins. I try to eat good food instead.

    My son and I both get bloated stomachs and burping from gluten. I'm not sure whether the burps smell like sulphur or not. Poor little guy. I hope you get things figured out.

    This happened to me. The only other food intolerance I noticed was to oats. Other things I could have in their whole form, but not if they were processed into flours or whatever. It seemed like it was tiny amounts of cc. It made it really difficult to figure out a diet, but I seem to be almost there now.

    Mine would just yell at me for the house being a mess, the kids misbehaving, his dinner not cooked, and me not ready for action.

    There is at least one study that suggests that mucous membrane contact is sufficient. Open Original Shared Link

    I'm sorry.

    He got diagnosed when he started throwing up 10 times a day. Before that he had what in hindsight was probably DH, red ears, and no apparent gastro symptoms, but he did throw up if he ate a lot of ice cream. Now we realize it was probably GERD.

    Thought I'd post here again. I thought things were going to work out after diagnosis. Celiac caused me a lot of problems that caused us a lot of problems. Behavioral, sexual, being too tired to take care of stuff, etc. Things with me are so much better now, but my husband just can't seem to let go of the resentment that he built up over all the years that...

    My blurred vision was constant before diagnosis. I didn't get dizzy much. I couldn't read well either. Glasses helped a bit but not much. It went away after I was gluten free for about 3 months. My vision went from 20:40 to 20:20. I stopped wearing the glasses. The blurriness still comes back with trace gluten consumption, and I return to the glasses...

    My son got diagnosed at age 10. Before that problems in school, wouldn't listen, forgot things, hit his sister, hit me...After he got off gluten these things pretty well resolved. If we could only stop accidentally glutening him I bet they would go away completely. We caught him just in time. Now he is 12, bigger than me and it hurts if he loses it!

    The vinegar made me worse too. Today is my day off training. I did 7 - 40 minute or more work-outs this week. I deserve a day off. I did do a little walk to the winter farmer's market. Plus I got glutened somehow and I've had to make far too many trips to the bathroom to have been comfortable doing a 50 minute bike ride. Hopefully the bathroom part will...

    Your daughter sounds so much like my son. He started reading very early. Some words he pronounced strangely because he learned them by reading before hearing. But, organizationally he suffers terribly. Just this morning he went off to the bus with his instrument, poster project, but forgot his backpack. But guess what? I kissed him good-bye and didn...

    That happened to me. At first my symptoms improved with removal of bread and cereal. As more symptoms appeared and others came back, I found that I had to remove more and more gluten from my diet. Now I hardly eat any processed foods and feel great.

    I didn't get my period back either while I was nursing. That is a good thing and decreases the chances of various cancers. Hair falling out is also normal, but it depends on how much is falling out. It sounds like you think it is serious, but could it be less so? LaLeche league can be very helpful with breastfeeding related issues. Some doctors don't...

    Me too. I get sick of always cooking from scratch, but I got more sick of getting glutened.
  23. dilettantesteph
    Thanks for the tums info. Maybe I'll try them next time. I'm feeling healthy again. I did a 40 min row and a 40 min swim on Monday, a 40 minute run Tuesday and a 50 min bike ride Wed. Today I'll run again. We're having a spell of good weather. I need to take advantage of it because it is supposed to snow again in the future and I'll be limited to rowing...

    I don't know if this is your problem, but I found that I had to cut out processed foods to feel right. If you can't eat fruit already, that doesn't leave much else for you. Hope that isn't your problem. Some celiacs don't seem to be able to eat commercially prepared gluten free foods. Some of us are sensitive to smaller amounts of gluten than others....

    If I remember right, the nut thins are processed in a facility that also processed wheat. Am I right? You can look on the box. I am pretty sure that they got me, though that was a couple of years ago. Maybe that's it. You could also get tested for a corn sensitivity. Hope you feel better soon.
