  1. Has anyone ever tried ear candles? Are they effective for this type of problem? I'm curious about them and how they work and what they actually work.
  2. Black coffee is gluten-free that is really not the issue. The issue is that there is a big chance for CC in a restaurant and for people that are ultra sensitive, even coffee can be a problem. I would think in Starbucks, black drip brew coffee would be the safest. If you have coffee there and don't react, then you're good. But some folks cannot feel well...
  3. I have always thought it was CC in the Starbucks. I have my own small coffee bar in my flower shop and I have had to give up coffee. It gave me tremors. It's not the caffeine as I have more of that now. I also found I was having a gluten reaction to some of my syrups. The company swears it can't be but I was reacting to the syrups with caramel coloring...
  4. Many people experience low blood sugar in the night which messes with their "sleeping clock". You may need a high protein snack before bed. Have you been extra hungry? If so, you will need some hunger killing food to sleep through the night.
  5. I read a thread a while back where some posters said shortness of breath was a symptom they had when eating soy. Soy is hidden in a lot of foods. Maybe some of those folks will speak up again.
  6. I don't see any other vegetables in your list. Can you not eat steamed vegetables? What about beans and nuts? Seems like you are very limited and that would help you. Can you juice foods like carrots and parsley? These are very nutritional. Also fermented cabbage is very good for digestion.
  7. For healthy dietary fats, eat butter, never margarine. Also avocado to any foods you can. Coconut milk and coconut oil are bother excellant. The great thing about coconut is that it contains certain fats that are also present in breast milk. These are very important for our bodies but hard to get in other foods. If you can tolerate dairy, always have...
  8. I use their regular mayonnaise with no problems. I don't buy any product that is low fat. First of all our bodies need healthy dietary fat for our muscles like our heart and for brain power. Secondly, as the PP pointed out when fat is reduced, it's usually replaced with sugar and/or gluten. I do not need either one of those!
  9. My son had pyloric stenosis surgery in '83. He doesn't have celiac disease but I do....
  10. I just wanted to say thank you. Sometimes ...more often then not... I feel I am failing my son when I see he must have gotten gluten or isn't feeling well. Your words were a good boost in confidence. I just have to keep going until I get it right.

  11. THanks for letting us know. I have been thinking of you and wondering from time to time how you are. I'm so glad you have a diagnosis.
  12. I have taken melatonin nightly for many years with good results. I would like to try a time release. I wake up through the night still. In the 80's when I started, I took .5 mg. Now I'm up to 6 mgs. It takes me several years to have to take more. Recently I have increased my magnesium dosage and found it has a great positive affect on my sleep...
  13. Be careful taking Zicam if you are prone to headaches. I know two people who took Zicam and it triggered migraines for them.
  14. I use Antihistab the Walmart in house brand with no problem. No sleepy side affects either.
  15. Wow, that's a real puzzle! I don't know the answer but I was always taught that you should eat honey from local bees because they are using the pollen from local sources. The local pollen should help counteract your allergies. No scientific evidence just annecdotal. Any beekeepers out there?
  16. I had incredible shoulder pain for years which I assumed was arthritis or bursitis. All gone with the GFD. I had no idea that it would take care of that pain! No more carpal tunnel either. I haven't had severe pain from that in a long time but the mild stuff is gone.
  17. My persistant cough was due to postnasal drip from congestion. After I went gluten-free, I found the congestion was due to the gluten and has since gone bye-bye. I was so grateful to not have to take antihistamine constantly and wake up coughing at night. Hope it clears up for you too.
  18. I haven't converted a recipe just like this but I have had good luck using my flour blend plus xantham with old recipes. It isn't as flavorful though so I usually add a bit more sugar and something else to up the flavor. Like in pie crust I add a T. of sugar and for certain recipes, cinnamon. For pizza crust a bit of boullion and parmesan cheese. ...
