Hi -- I feel your pain! I went through phases of being soooo hungry and sometimes at a loss for what I could eat that would not make me sick. Skippy p-nut butter (I think) has additives in it of hydrogenated oils, etc. I actually stopped eating p-nut butter and went to other nut butters -- sesame or almond. I go to the natural foods section and get...

Hi everyone, Just need a good vent here. I am coming up on my 18 month gluten-free anniversary! This is been one of the most difficult journeys for me, a bread-loving foodie -- but also so worth it for the drastic change in health. I still get glutened from time to time, and I went through the what can I eat I am so incredibly hungry phases too. I...

Diarrhea within 30 minutes of eating, naseau, sometimes throwing up 1-2 hours after eating, extreme fatigue, crankiness, mental fog, and lately just really frustrated that it happened AGAIN! Symptoms used to go away within a few hours, now they come on faster and linger for a couple of days -- sometimes several days! Also, during all of this I can get...

Thank you for the great suggestions! I just had in my mind that this would be so much easier -- just stop the wheat, and everything will be OK. And it seems I am getting more sensitive to foods as I go along. I definitely have an issue with too much corn or potatoes. And I think I'm headed to totally eliminating processed foods too. I also think...

Hi everyone, Just need to vent. I got glutened -- again! I am so tired of going through this. I have been so careful about everything, but I still find new things that just get my whole gluten reaction going again. I discovered some "organic" sweeteners are grain-based! And what used to be a favorite treat -- a coconut bar, labeled gluten-free, uses...

Just went through this myself -- 2 days of symptoms (D, brain fog, fatigue). It is so frustrating to be rolling along gluten-free, feeling OK and then -- yikes! What did I eat? How did this happen? Anyway....aloe vera gel helps me. I use the Organic, Whole Leaf kind. I mix it with a glass of water -- about 1 part gel to 4 parts water -- stir...

What really got me was "Clinique" lipstick and lip gloss! I always loved their "bonus time" with all the free items, and it always included a lipstick or gloss. Turns out, wheat is an ingredient for their lipsticks! So...I've switched to MAC -- they were very cool about going over their ingredients with me when I needed to change. They have a huge...

Could have been the Pace Salsa! Definitely too many tortilla chips in one sitting gets me. Too much corn for me reacts just like being glutened. Small doses of corn seem OK. I had a moment of enlightment today while grocery shopping. After my gluten diagnosis, I would wander around the grocery store, wanting to have a great big pity party as...

Absolutely lol about the kilts!! I am 3/4 Scottish! I've been listening to my mother's digestive horror stories for years! Just thought it was normal growing up and into adulthood. And it finally all clicked with me a few months ago -- after many doctors and many years of searching for answers! So...I've finally found relief. But will any of...

Thank you all! These are great ideas -- I will definitely try them. You've helped me face another day!

Hi everyone, Now almost 6 months gluten-free and I think I have a problem with corn too! -- just recently I've had bad reactions from eating tortilla chips & salsa! Thought it might be CC, or hidden gluten -- but after checking & rechecking, and having it happen more than once, it seems to be the corn (or could be the quantity! of corn chips)...

Hi, As a relatively new kid to this (5 months) I understand the frustration of reading labels, changing shampoo brands, trying to de-gluten kitchens and all that. For me, just a crumb of gluten can set off my immune reaction. The best explanation I heard about "how much is too much" is to compare gluten to dog poo (kinda gross I know but it works!)...

I have been using LifeTime -- it's a calcium magnesium citrate (and it has a pleasant taste).

Hi, I've been gluten-free for 5 months now, and have been glutened a few times along the way. When that happens I just get knocked flat, no energy, and spend a day or two in the bathroom with the big D (sorry). Here's what helps me: -- Probiotic -- super strength, 2 hours after eating -- Straight iced green tea eliminates my gassy problems after...
