Have you ever heard of a dairy pill called Lactaid? I am not suggesting that you take these on a regular basis, but what you might consider trying is picking some up, take one and see if it settles your stomach down and makes the nausea go away. If it does make it go away, you more than likely have an issue with dairy. If the Lactaid would happen to settle...

Not much LOL, (Farming that is) Mike

Of course you know that beans in themselves are safe. If you are extra sensitive (what this thread was made for no?) there can be CC issues and gluten just does not wash off readily. The same equipment that harvests the beans in our area, also harvests the wheat. The winter wheat is taken off in early June around here and then the farmers "double crop" with...

Could have been, my web service was a bit glitchy yesterday, I'll post it again and in my opinion, it (the post) does need to be kept in the context of what was being discussed and also it needs to be kept in mind that is was posted on the sensitive area of this site. If someone out there is not getting better on the gluten free diet (and has ruled out other...

Oh, well I did post it twice. Is this the reason? Mike

I really want to respond to your post, however, it looks like I am now being censored (my post I think was deleted, I posted it twice, the first time, I thought I made a posting mistake, posted it again and it is gone). In my opinion, (if this is the case) we are doing a great disservice to all posters, in particular "the newbies" if a poster can not discuss...

Wanted to second the "nailed it". I still use them on occasion. Am I glad I did use them and that they are available? Oh yes. I want to sum up real quick what I have learned from these strips (in no particular order). I have learned that just because the label on the package says "gluten free" means nothing to me. It more than likely has some amount of gluten...

Oh man, I don't know how you can do the vegetarian deal, my hat goes off to you and everyone else that can pull this off. I just could not deal with it. They also have a lot of gluten free vegan choices. If you go, be sure and ask for the "gluten free" menu. They actually have one. At ours, they serve gluten free on a different plate so there is no confusion...

That is a bummer, sorry to hear about it. I just snapped out of my recent glutening yesterday. Every time I think to myself....What if I don't come out of it this time? So far, I always have, just has to run its course. Do you have a P.F. Chang's anywhere near you? I mean, it would be worth a road trip once in a while to give yourself a break and a treat...

I wanted to say thank you to all that mention adding this. I have seen your posts on here about it and to be honest, never gave it much thought. I picked some up and I can't believe the difference it is making. All the best, Mike

Hello, I think Enterolab is another valid choice that can be used to diagnose gluten intolerance. You don't have to go for all of the testing all at once. They will keep the stool sample for up to six months. Example, you could send the sample there and just have the Fecal antigliadin IgA antibody test done. If it is positive, you may want to have other tests...

I can't help you with the Almond meal (that one I'm allergic to) I use Peter and Paul Coconut flour/fiber. It is certified organic and I buy it at our local health food store. Here is a customer service number off of the bag (905) 768-1152 or (905) 768-3251 I don't react to it and it also tested negative with the EZ gluten test strip (I trust these tests...

Hello Ohio, Some will say you don't need to check topical items (things you put on your body). Others (me included) will say it does matter. But first, let me suggest you get tested for Celiac. It is really important to know if you have Celiac. If you should have a negative test result, don't give up and think you are in the clear, you can still have gluten...

I think one thing we can all agree on is that we all seem to have different reaction levels to gluten. I posted this info because it was so frustrating getting glutened and not knowing why. I want to know why. So I did some serious research on this. I have read over and over that "all wines are safe" and "so are vinegars" for that matter. Well, I am discovering...
