    I have to admit I have been lukewarm over the organic thing. I felt organic was the way to grow things but I didn't always believe that what growers were allowed to sell as organic fit my definition. Recently my cousin who works for a chicken company offered us to buy his company's meat with his family discount. We've been eating this chicken for about...

    You may not be able to digest the grains in your cereal at first. You may want to back off that for a little while. It just takes time for the whole system to calm down and start to heal. There is a lot of healing to do and just like it didn't become damaged overnight, it cannot heal over night. Imagine that a broken bone takes six weeks in a cast, your...

    I'm really glad you are feeling better. Just wanted you to know that I have eaten Wendy's chili several times at different locations as well as the baked potato and have always done well with it. I also hear 5 Guys is a good place but we don't have one locally so I've never been.

    I think it is VERY hard for healthy people to understand this disease. I found out when I had carpal tunnel that if people couldn't see a cut or a cast they were totally unsympathetic. Once I started to where a brace, people constantly came up to commiserate with me. I guess I would just ask him has he ever had the flu or a hangover? Imagine feeling...

    I agree with the other posters. My dad was a chain smoker. I never noticed a reaction to being around smoke at all. After he died, lung cancer, I now cough, get a sore throat and have allergy eyes around smoke. An evening of exposure can trigger a congestion for few days. I would say I built up a tolerance as a child, but no longer being exposed to...

    Sorry you're feeling so bad right now. As others have said, hang in there. In the meantime you can look over your vitamin intake and make some changes that will help. In the energy department the sublingual B12 (methyl type) really helped me. You can't take too much, extra will just wash away so take what you need. Increase your magnesium, athletes especially...

    I have never had an issue with pepper, black or red. I would be surprised to learn preground pepper had gluten. I buy the cheapest kind and I eat some every day. Can you supply a source for the wheat in pepper?

    The way I understand it is your body is making antibodies to combat that foreign invader, gluten. At that point you have antibodies in your system probably every day, I know I ate gluten every day. When you stop and the antibodies are finally out of your system, then suddenly you introduce gluten again ( doesn't matter how much, even a crumb) those antibodies...

    Thanks - Maybe I'll try egg beaters. That would be okay wouldn't it?? (with onion in them) Have you ever used a corn wrap?? A corn wrap that's gluten-free would be fine. I'm just eating low carb so I'm not eating wraps right now. I have another question I'm so confused about - - Is soy ok? (like soy milk, or a soy protein powder for shake?)...

    My son has always been very irritable even as a baby. Lots of colic. He was also sick as an infant with projectile vomiting. He was dx'd with pyloric stenosis and had surgery at 6 weeks. No clue where that came from either as it doesn't run in our families. He started having the seizures around 2 1/2 years. He was having 50 or more myoclonic seizures a day...

    There are some dr's that will dx based on dietary response and genetic testing. I didn't test because I wasn't financially able at the time I suspected celiac disease. By the time i could have afforded to, I was unwilling to do the challenge. I don't really care if my dr believes my "dx" or not. I know my physical and skin response to the gluten...

    It is very hard to do the Midwest buffet thing. Lots of food I love, very little I can eat. It is a situation that calls for planning but when it's an emergency you just do the best you can. Sounds like you did well. At least you didn't eat gluten food and spend your time sick. I remember last winter when many lost their power for long periods...

    The two things that jumped out for me from your posting were dairy and Lays. I have had reactions to Lays and have been LI for many years. If you are having trouble I would leave the dairy out for awhile and maybe revisit it later to see if you can tolerate it. Lay's are off my safe list. I wouldn't eat them in the beginning of a gluten-free diet...

    Sorry, Judy, I'm pretty boring in my menu. I eat the same breakfast every single day; tea, 3 scrambles eggs with onion and tomato. For other meals we have been eating almost pure chicken as we are getting a deal on it and money is tight. I was complaining today I need to find some new ways to cook it. Since I've been dieting, I haven't been eating...

    Yes, I notice I am more and more sensitive as time goes on. I also become more and more careful.

    And it might sound stupid but not having that physical aspect and physical connection, I am feeling left with a void. Unfortunately I live in a small town and am close with a lot of girls I would like move on but of course they all have boyfriends. So I feel like I missed my chance. It is probably better not to think about it, but it is really hard sometimes...

    I wonder if GI is just underdeveloped celiac disease. Like before you have so much damage they can find it easily, they just list the test as negative and you're GI not celiac disease. But if left to itself and damage continues, then does it become celiac disease when the damage finally reaches the tipping point and you are really compromised? Can...

    I wouldn't rule out sneaky gluten before assuming it's a new sensitivity. Like the other poster said, you get comfortable and don't read labels as carefully as before. I've had it happen to me. I would go through your kitchen and read every label; spices, teas, and even meats. Yes, meats. Some frozen chicken now comes coated with a broth. Some...

    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.

    I use pineapple juice in place of water escpecially in pineapple upside down cake. M-m-m-m!

    It could be celiac disease. It can be triggered by a surgery or trama and you had certainly had your share. The symptoms sound like they could be celiac disease but it mimics other conditions so the testing is a good thing. Don't panic yet. Your dr's are on top of it and won't let you bleed to death. That's why they swabbed you so they could help you...

    I'm hypoglycemic and I recently gave up most sugars. I've been having real dips in the morning before I can get to my breakfast. If I feel this way, I reach in for about 1/2 slice of Hormel Natural ham and chew it slowly. Within about a minute I can feel relief coming, it usually takes the other half too. Then I am ok to stay on my schedule which has...

    Hey, I'm 52 and dx'd myself since my dr's alternately said there was nothing wrong with me or it was all in my head! Welcome to you and hang in there. The rash could be some sneaky gluten so the food journal is a great idea.

    I don't have anything to add except that I'm thinking of you. It's hard enough to understand what I'm reacting to let alone a toddler. I just wanted to say he's a lucky child to have a mom who cares so much about him and has to watch every piece of food he eats. It isn't always easy to understand every reaction and what it is to. He's just so lucky you...
