    Although I cannot tolerate fruit anymore, I used this on strawberries, peaches, etc. It brings out the sweetness of the fruit. It's also great in teas and drinks, as it dissolves in cold as well as hot, and it's low on the Glycemic index.

    Thanks everyone for posting and the ideas. I guess I've been in total denial about being "super sensitive" as it's another label I didn't want to give myself. Something to make you laugh...I've been home from the hospital since last Thursday. I have to say the first days being home and not being on pain meds were the worst. However, feeling better and...

    Hello all, I don't post here often, but I am here regularly as I think most of you know more than some doctors. I believe in what I read here and take this site very seriously. My one major complaint is that since I started having allergies and symptoms to allergies, I've done so much research I feel like I can be a chemist, or a nutritional expert...

    I was accidentally glutened yesterday afternoon. I knew it right away because I get a sinus/migraine headache that will sometimes last for days (depending on how much is digested). About 1 hour later severe D, followed by hives/rash, nausea, mouth sores and then the next morning I get eczema all over my scalp and face. Fun stuff... I have realized lately...

    The weird thing about food allergies is that usually foods won't show up if you are "skin tested." I was tested numerous times, as was my daughter and nothing ever shows up. The most accurate tests are when you are tested through the blood. Either way, don't leave home without benedryl.

    Thank you so much for your quick response. I've had to blood tests, two endoscopies, and a gene test. The gene test was taken at a celiac center in NJ and was told that if that came back negative I would NEVER have Celiacs. I read so much conflicting information, though. I don't understand if I something that contains Wheat/Gluten I get blisters above...

    I am not Celiac, but Clinique's eyeliner. It is also fragrance free, but you must check certain brands.

    So, I haven't posted here in a while because I've been trying to get my life back on track battling so many food allergies and intolerances. However, I do have a question and I am very confused. Most recently on a business trip I was glutened. I knew it instantly. Although I didn't get the gastro symptoms that I normally would get, I got a few new ones...

    Also, what does the "18" mean in the results? Is that high?
  11. DinaB
    Yes. As so as I digest Gluten I get immediate horrible smelling gas, bloating, pain in abdomen and severe itching to the point I have to take an Allegra AND and Benedryl. Also for days following I can't really thing stratight and have horrible brain fog. Tummy problems last for days afterward, sometimes up to a week. I don't believe I have Celiac Disease...

    Hi, thanks for your response . So I'm confused by the "follow a strict and permanent gluten free diet." Does this mean I need to have my daughter checked as well?

    So I just received my results from Enterolab and of course they are positive. I am still waiting for the results of my Celiac Gene test and should have those by Friday. Can someone help me figure out what this means... Gluten Sensitivity Stool Test Fecal Antigliadin IgA 18 (Normal Range <10 Units) Interpretation of Fecal Antigliadin IgA:...

    I remove the beans due to allergy and IBS issues.

    I did the the stool test with Enterolab last week (Monday) and was just curious as to how long it took before the results came back.

    Hi Emily, It's crazy how a lot of us have egg/nut/soy among other things. I really think if we experiement enough and really keep track of what we are putting in our bodies, we can overcome the intolerances....I HOPE

    Thanks. I guess I will have to do the same.

    Does anyone have an accurate source for locating Gluten Free Medications. I thought the glutenfreemedicines.com was accurate until someone posted that some of Pfizer's drugs are not safe. When I do get sick I take Zithromax, which according to glutenfreemedicines.com is listed as gluten free. Pfizer's website reports that it HAS gluten. Who can we trust...

    So this is getting very interesting... I've been on here complaining about my stomach problems and kept asking myself why I haven't gotten any better (gastritis). So, after reading many posts I've decided to remove all grains from my diet and see what happens. Since last Thursday I have not had to take my Bella Donna (anti-spasmodic) at all. I was taking...

    You bring up a very good point. Yes, my Allegra, Belladonna and Zantac are all gluten free. If I were using shampoo/conditioner that had wheat in it I would know it because I would itch like crazy. However, I didn't realize that cutting boards, lipsticks, scratched pots and pans could get me sick. Is there anything I should be looking for?
