    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    hello there!

    I read one of your posts and it seems we have problems with similar foods - like scary close.

    Do you do a rotation diet? Just wondering. Im looking for some way to eat without so much frustration.

    Thank you!

    I don't have much of anything to add, but I'm sort of having similar problems. I've been gluten-free since December, and in April, I began having nausea, cramping and early fullness with every single meal. I also had occasional diarrhea, usually the next day. I was exhausted, and my insides just felt raw. I felt that way for about a month. In that time...

    Slight thread-jack here, but I've just got to clarify... Atkins isn't high-protein, it's high-fat. Only 30% of your daily calories come from protein, though optimum intake might be closer to 25% (for best weight loss.)

    Sounds like stretch marks to me. I do not know if there is a correlation between celiac and stretch marks. You don't have to have had children, or even be overweight to get them. It has a lot to do with genetics and skin elasticity. I first got stretch marks on my breasts during puberty--I guess they grew too quickly for my skin to "stretch" safely...

    Bit of a threadjack here, but... gfpagan--if it's your wedding, YOU have control! Why serve foods to others that you can't have? Why not make the entire meal gluten-free so you have no envy, no stress, and no worries!? I made sure the entire meal was gluten-free for my wedding. The food was fantastic, and nobody missed the gluten! I'm sure that had...

    I would suggest making vegetables the focus of each meal, or at least, adding them to each meal if you've not done so already. They are full of vitamins and nutrients, fiber, and they are low in carbs and calories. I'm not sure if you are a meat-eater, but eat protein with each meal/snack. This will keep you fuller longer, and if you work out/lift weights...

    Hello all, For the past month or so, I've been having recurring symptoms (nausea, fullness, cramps, etc.) with nearly every meal/snack, and the area below my ribs constantly aches. I've also had 2 "attacks" in the past 2 weeks that have left me lying on the floor, in pain, at the verge of vomiting, with chills and shortness of breath. The doctor thinks...

    My favorite is wine, which depends on the season. During spring and summer I prefer white wines, during fall and winter, red. I also LOVE mulled wine (that I make myself) around the holidays. I agree with a couple of the other posters who said that wine seems to "help things", I've noticed that in myself. (I also remember reading something on Dogtor J...

    Hey everyone. I've done searches and read a few threads that were related to this, but most seemed to be about heartburn and talk about symptoms that I am not experiencing. I apologize if this is something that's posted/asked about often. I have been completely gluten-free since December, and have also discovered other intolerances along the way. I...

    My co-workers always stare and some always have to ask me "what are you eating today?" which for some reason, annoys the hell out of me, I think because it's a stupid question. If I'm sitting there eating a grilled chicken breast and green beans, isn't it *obvious* what I'm eating? It has nothing to do with being gluten-free. I've never had complaints...

    Hrmm, thinking about your dilemma clearsky...I have some ideas, but can't remember your specific intolerances at the moment. Perhaps some of these ideas would help? Ignore the ones that don't apply! Eat smaller meals more frequently--This might lighten the load on your digestive tract so it's not being "slammed" with a lot of food at once. You might...

    Yup I know your pain. As a kid I did everything I was supposed to do--brushed twice a day, used those pink tablets (can't remember the name) to show where I'd "missed" brushing, used ACT, flossed. Yet EVERY SINGLE DENTAL APPOINTMENT I would get lectured about my poor dental habits. I remember HATING those kids with perfect teeth, the ones who got to pick...

    If you haven't already, buy a cooler/lunchbox with those blue ice packs, those will keep your foods cold during the day. If you have access to a kitchen where you live, it will be easier. Here are some easy on-the-go foods. (I don't know if you have other food intolerances/allergies/sensitivities, so these are pretty generic): *hardboiled eggs with...

    Here's my experience: Before gluten became a problem. I had a relatively tough digestive system. There were only a handful of foods that I stayed away from that gave me obvious problems. (Cucumbers, zucchini, cashews.) Over time I began to develop GI problems, which eventually became so bad that I was compelled to figure out what the heck was wrong...
