    I try to spread things out. I make my apple juice one day, my apple sauce the next, and the day after that I'll boil a pot of potatoes to dehydrate. I try to always make extra to freeze and then I can pull that out later for some variety. Plus, that way if I just can't cook one day, I'll still have something to eat. On the weekends I'm so busy catching...

    Thank-you. I too spend a lot of time thinking about my poop. It is good to have information from a medical expert.

    It sounds like you doctors think that it is EE. If it is, you need to see a good specialist. Hopefully this site will help you find one. Open Original Shared Link EE is a tricky condition. You really need good doctors to help you.

    When I was first diagnosed, I kept thinking that I was reacting to various things. I would come here and find out that lots of the forum members were eating those things without any reactions. I was puzzled. Finally my GI doctor told me that celiacs have varying degrees of sensitivity. Just because someone else can eat it didn't mean that I could eat...

    Be patient. It takes awhile to figure it all out. Eat lots of produce.

    You can try taking the prescription to a compounding pharmacy to see if they can make it up for you without gluten.

    I like the taste of millet. I would even add some whole because I like the crunchy flavor and texture. My favorite bread pre diagnosis had whole millet on the crust. Too bad I don't currently have a good source.

    This is a really difficult issue. We have it in our household. My kids and I are very symptomatic and react to low levels of gluten. My husband is a "silent celiac" like the OP. He would never have known except that he was tested due to the kids. He actually has show changes, but they are things like he finds that it is much easier to lift heavy weights...

    It looks like there are a lot of providers of soy free eggs, if it is a concern for anyone. Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link

    The list is quite long. Here's a link: Open Original Shared Link

    Soy isoflavones have been found in eggs and chicken tissue. I don't know if the amounts would be enough to cause a reaction or not. According to this article, to be safe, soy levels need to be under 10 ppm. Open Original Shared Link The levels found were higher than that in some cases. Open Original Shared Link I still don't know that you had...

    You sound like such a wonderful considerate caring girl. I sure hope my just turned 17 year old daughter will be able to find a male equivalent.

    I notice that when a certain person visits my home, I seem to get reactions. I thought that he was glutening me at first. Maybe the stress makes ongoing reactions seem worse. When he is on better behavior and doesn't cause the stress, the reactions don't seem to happen. I don't know.

    So much for my gluten free household. I still have my old pointe shoes. Thanks for the information.

    Ginger worked for me too. I ate crystallized ginger right out of the bottle.

    Elimination diets and a food diary? That's probably how you have gotten where you are so far. Can you try to get really clean versions of some of those things directly from a farmer who doesn't put anything on them to test if it is pesticides or something used in processing? I have found that I have problems with many things from the store, but if...

    It is too bad that brand names were not mentioned in the report.

    I am trying to keep a winter garden up here in upstate New York,zone 6. I bought a book about it, researched online, and I have covered cold hardy vegetables with garden fabric. So far so good, but it hasn't gotten that cold yet. The snow collapsed some of the garden covers last night, so we'll see. Garden fresh vegetables in December were pretty...

    That sounds like a major reaction to me!! You poor thing.

    Hi, I am another who felt much better when I stopped taking vitamins and supplements. Then, I too tested low for vitamin D. I looked into liquid vitamin D. I thought that with the most concentrated form possible, the little bit that I would have to take would be unlikely to cause a reaction. I got one for which my daily dose is a fraction of a drop. I...

    It is known that lower amounts of gluten cause lower level symptoms than higher amounts of gluten. It was in this long reference somewhere near the beginning. I don't know if it would be classified as super sensitivity unless reacting to inhaled gluten is considered a super sensitive reaction. I guess it depends on who you ask. It seems normal to me LOL...

    The Breyers all natural vanilla is on their gluten free list. Open Original Shared Link Has anyone checked to see if they use a dedicated facility to produce their gluten free foods? Do they use dedicated lines? Are those issues that you normally have problems with? Since that was the only new thing, that is what I would suspect the most, but it...

    What are you allergic to? Was anything new to your diet?

    Before diagnosis I was also barely able to leave the vicinity of the toilet and I couldn't work. Hard to do on the toilet, as you said. Now I am working again. My stupid doctor told me it was IBS too. Good for you to have figured it out on your own.

    I have been using Gynol II(and diaphragm)without issues.
