    My 11 year old son was throwing up about 10 times a day with bad reflux before being diagnosed and going on a gluten free diet. By then he was already on an acid free diet for the reflux, no chocolate, soda, dairy, fat, berries and tomatoes. Even with the Prilosec he was still having reflux. Going gluten free helped so much. He was feeling much better...

    Sometimes during the grinding of the flour, or the forming of the noodles, or the packaging in the factory cross contamination can occur. Sometimes the package has marked on it: processed in a facility that also processes wheat. That warning is voluntary though, and there are times as with Lundberg chips where it is not marked on the package but on the...

    I really don't like the taste of flax seeds, and you aren't supposed to have to grind the chia seeds. You are right, flax is cheaper, but I couldn't stand the taste and was adding so much stuff to cover up the taste, I was undoing a lot of the good. It would be nice for creamy smoothies.

    Thanks for your reply.

    Thanks for your reply. I was interested in them for the omega-3 fatty acids, which garden peas aren't high in.

    There are two organizations that do testing of products and certify companies and their products as gluten free. The links are below. Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link

    Anyone tried this product? Did it seem really gluten free? Was it any good?

    Another bit of advice I have for newbies is that celiacs vary in their tolerances to gluten. Some will insist that a certain product can't have gluten because they eat it all the time. Others insist that it has small amounts because it makes them sick. Others will insist that you must have some other food allergy if you are reacting to that product. Then...

    I try only a small amount of a new food the first time and only try one new food every three days or so. That way I can figure out what bothered me. Or at least I try to do that. Gemini, you should read the posts about the Wellshire farms chicken fingers. Hidden gluten does exist.

    I think I had problems with Annie's burgers. They are made in a facility that processes wheat.

    I am trying to figure out what has been bothering me.

    Breastfeeding isn't always easy at first. Those people at La Leche League make it a lot easier. Be sure to get in contact with them. When I had my first child they had play groups and everything and it was really great. They were much better than the lactation consultant who was in the hospital.

    I think we need more details about what you use to be able to help you. For instance there are a lot of "gluten free" foods that have marked on the label that they are processed in facilities that also process wheat. Most of those make me and my celiac son sick. They get contaminated by incompletely cleaned machinery or just by gluten containing dust in...

    www.thebirkettmills.com has a dedicated buckwheat facility with a number of products, some of which might be in your local stores, or you can order them on line.

    I can't clean up gluten without getting sick. After a year of trying to manage with a mixed kitchen my family has gone gluten free. I wouldn't even go into your kitchen if I were you. How about buying one of those little dorm fridges to go in your room along with a microwave. I wouldn't trust your family to be careful enough. My 13 year old daughter...

    This is a huge problem in the food industry. See the posts in here about the Chicago Tribune article and Wellshire farm foods. The FDA doesn't seem to want to do anything. There really needs to be a government agency that tests gluten free foods and comes down on companies that have gluten in gluten free foods. We need to write our Senators or something...

    The anxiety seems to be the first thing to come and the last thing to go when I get accidentally glutened, even after gluten free for a year. That, and the irritability. It is much better now though. Hang in there and be very careful about what you eat.

    It seems to be pretty typical to get more sensitive to smaller amounts of gluten after you go off it. You need to check carefully for sources of gluten to eliminate.

    Come visit me and we can cook for each other. Actually can I suggest a restaurant choice? I am very sensitive to contamination. I have only eaten at one restaurant without getting sick and it was Thai. A lot of Thai places use gluten free soy sauce. Other than that the only gluten containing thing in the restaurant is the fried spring rolls. That really...

    I am sorry that you had to go through the pain of a gluten challenge for that. You have every right to be angry. Maybe you should look for a better GI.

    My husband got a job 6 hours away. We are going to have to move. My son, age 11 was diagnosed by diet alone. He was throwing up 10 times a day and I was eager to do whatever I could do make him better. There were many visits to the doctor and many medications and tests and diet modifications. Then I tried a gluten free diet and it worked like a charm...

    A lot of "gluten free" foods make me sick. I need to stick to ones made in a dedicated facility. I think others get tiny, or not so tiny amounts of gluten in them from cross contamination. See the posts about Wellshire farms gluten free foods. That could explain your problems. Each new food I look up here first to see if anyone else has complained about...

    You can contact La Leche League about nursing after breast augmentation. From what I remember, after augmentation usually isn't a problem. After reduction there are more likely to be problems. It has to do with how the surgery is done and whether or not the milk ducts are cut. Good luck.
  24. dilettantesteph
    Can I please suggest you look into breastfeeding l little more? It isn't only better for baby, it is better for you. It is way cheaper, formula is expensive. It decreases the chances of you getting certain cancers, it is easier in case of a power outage or traveling, no formula to mix, keep refrigerated, or heat. It makes you increase production of a...

    Raisin, thank you so much for adding that post. I am one of those sensitive people and you saved me from running out to try something new and getting sick again!
