    I tend to dizzy when my blood sugar is too low and the most common times for my blood sugar to be low is morning and bed time. Could that be your problem? Can the dizziness be relieved by eating a protein, cheese or a slice of lunchmeat?

    Eating gluten free for a time does not make you gluten intolerant. You probably eat certain foods for holidays or special events that you don't eat at other times of the year. Do you react to those foods? No, because not eating them all year does not make you intolerant to them. If you are reacting to gluten you body is telling you, that you cannot tolerate...

    Remember that your body is trying to trick you because it is missing the gluten, so in the beginning you need to trick it back. For me that meant not letting myself get too hungry because then I would find myself mindlessly reaching for gluten. That was a dangerous time. I carry a Lara bar with me for those occasions, still. Also the visiualization of...

    Well, I just plain swell all over when glutened. I have ingrown big toenails. I get a lot of pain there when glutened & if it's bad they will infect. I stopped having that problem when I stay gluten-free. I imagine it ties into the swelling.

    Absolutely! I need the protein or I get those hypoglycemic crashes. I often use cheese and nuts for snacks too for the same reason. I agree with listen to what your body wants. There is a reason it needs it and it doesn't care if you get the icks!

    Sorry you're having a problem but your husband really needs to step in and explain it to them. The one whose family it is with the problem, needs to defend their spouse, that's the rule and the only way it really works. He needs to say, " if you're going to touch her food with the same bar-b-que tongs and cook it besde gluteny food, then she can't eat it...

    I don't know about where you live but here there is a stomach thing going around. I had it this weekend and hit the pepto for about 3 days. I know what I was eating was OK, boring but OK. It is so hard sometimes to tell the difference between the flu and a glutening. I often describe my symptoms to lay people as like having the worst stomach flu you've...

    I've been trying a gluten free diet for about 22 days now, and it seems like I feel worse than before. I'm hoping to relieve so-called IBS problems. In the past 22 days, I've had more abdominal cramping, about the same amount of diarrhea, and more nausea (which I rarely had before). Are you eating dairy? Many of us cannot tolerate it in the beginning...

    I'll share 2 chicken recipes with you, an old favorite and a new favorite. Old Favorite - Green Chili Enchiladas Fry or bake chicken breasts cut into chunks in 1/2 olive oil and 1/2 butter. Add Lowry's Seasoned Salt to taste. When done, lower the heat in your skillet and add a large bar of cream cheese and a can of chopped green chilis. (Can...

    What herbals are good against parasites?

    I haven't checked my cholesteral for a few years. Last time it was 75. But I have really changed my mind about cholesteral and blood sugar since I read this book recommended by another poster. I already was against statins but this changed my opinion about it all and I changed the way my husband and I eat. He just was tested and since eating mostly this...

    The other posters are correct, your daughter needs an endoscopy to reveal celiac disease but it will not show any damage if she has been gluten-free for a year. She will need at least 8 weeks of a gluten challenge before she can have an accurate endoscopy. Not that you shouldn't do the colonoscopy, that's up to you but if it were me, I'd like them...

    Well said!

    Do you chew gum? MSG can be in gum too.

    For an endoscopy or blood panel you need to eat gluten because one tests for antibodies and you need to eat the gluten for there to be antibodies. The other is a look at your small intestine where biopsies are taken. Again for the damage to be present you need to be producing antibodies and you must be eating gluten for that to happen. I believe Enterolab...

    You can demand an endoscopy but not if you have to wait months to get it. If that is the case, I would just begin the gluten-free diet and never look back. That is a personal choice and it's OK if you want to wait and have the test. Maybe if you explain to your dr how the gastro screwed up, your dr can pressure them to have the test very soon.

    Sounds like your body is giving you the answers you need. You're one of those teacher people that I so admire but could never be so you need all your energy. I hope this restores your health and you're back doing that so important job.

    I can't believe you said mangos! I'm allergic to mangos too! In fact, I pulled up your thread because the symptoms you listed are what I get if I eat domestic mangos (strangely, I can eat mangos in Colombia with no problems). OK, now I'm calm. I have read another poster who had that kind of reaction to MSG. Is that a possibility for you?
  19. ang1e0251
    Both can do a number on me but eating dairy again would be a definate for those symptoms. The PP was right. Stop it for awhile then challenge to see where you stand.

    It's natural to have a mourning period over losing a part of your life. But I believe you should set yourself some limits. Allow yourself to feel sorry about losing gluten and all that goes with it for a period of time, then tell yourself, this is it! Now I'm going to pick myself up and look at life from a positive outlook. It's not easy and at first...

    Thanks, I'll send it to my sister and niece who are probably glassy-eyed from the info I send them, all to no avail. I keep saying I won't send anymore but I get concerned, you know.

    I had forgotten that kind of symptom until you mentioned it. I was getting a sensation in my upper arm that felt like I'd brushed up against something or someone was touching me to get my attention. Totally creepy. I haven't had that in a long time. If I miss my B12 for a couple of days, I get the tingling and pins and needles in my toes as well as...

    Could you have a sinus infection?

    Pepto Bismol helps my stomach pain. I took some last night!

    You mentioned she wanted to eat and eat. That's one of my main symptoms when glutened, insatiable hunger. I can't stop eating even when my stomach feels full.
