    The thing is, I had been having bad symptoms while I was at home for winter break for a month and preparing all my own meals, including lots and lots of rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes etc. At first I thought I was just reacting to corn, so I eliminated that, then that didn't do much at all... Candida seems like it could be an option. Well, really I'm...

    I've been following a gluten free book that said that I shouldn't eat too much uncooked fruit in the first few weeks off gluten because it would be hard for me to digest it, but I've been gluten free almost 3 months! I ate a lot of fruit yesterday and I had horrible BM's, way worse than the 1-2 days where I was eating only chicken and cooked veggies. ...

    Well, first of all what is Candida? My test results just said "yeast +1" or something to that affect, and I think the 1 was out of a scale of 5. Gluten intolerance is something I certainly have and rice, potatoes and other things of that nature (I'm assuming carbs) bother my stomach up top (very gurgly etc.) as well as my BM's, but today I ate a tons...

    I stopped drinking beer once on the gluten free diet, but all alcohol is pretty much bad right now. I feel fine while consuming it, but the next day my symptoms are terrible. The thing about the elimination diet is I want to do it, but I'm sort of obsessed with finding out the reasons behind everything. Like, I don't just want to find out I can't eat...

    Hey everybody, I just got back from winter break this week and like my second day the assistant manager who helps me out with the gluten thing came up to me and said he was ordering gluten free bagels, and that they added a ticket system to the pizza station so that I could have pizza made on rice bread or rice cakes. I feel really bad, because I'm not...

    Haha it was very possible. I went to a party where I drank far too much beer and then ate a couple of weed cupcakes, haven't been right since the day after. I did a 3 day stool test that checked for parasites, bacteria etc. and it came up with something which I took an antibiotic to get rid of, but I still didn't improve. Then I had a colonoscopy, that...

    Well, it may be TMI but when I ate chicken over rice I got really gassy, horrible "bubble gut" where there's just tons of movement going on in my intestines, then I had to go number 2 like 2-3 times and the next morning my BM was very unpleasant. All the things that happen to me when I eat gluten, basically. Those are the symptoms I've had for like 7...

    I'm sorry, what are Hypos? I never had a problem digesting anything before, and then this set in in one day and since that day I've had digestive issues that just won't abate, no matter how careful I am about gluten. It's gotta be something else, but even off of dairy, corn, soy and potatoes I still react to rice with chicken of all things!! Very frustrating...

    My issues are almost all digestive, would pre or full blown diabetes be affecting me that way? I'm looking into the book on the specific carb diet right now, I think that may do me lots of good. Is it safe to eat primarily one meat, like at least 2 meals a day? I eat chicken non-stop because it's something the dining hall has readily available for me at...

    I certainly find myself posting a lot lately, this website is gold. So, I've been wondering if I have other allergies, or at least for the moment have trouble digesting other carb-loaded foods, such as corn, potatoes etc., but now I think I have a new theory. Yesterday I was sort of out and about, then had to come home, pack and move back into my dorm...

    Ahh thanks a lot.

    Entero lab results: "Interpretation of Fecal Antitissue Transglutaminase IgA: You have an autoimmune reaction to the human enzyme tissue transglutaminase, secondary to dietary gluten sensitivity." Can anybody tell me what transglutaminase is, and what it has to do with gluten intolerance?

    Hey everybody, I play college ultimate frisbee and we have a series of tournaments coming, the first of which is about a 4-5 hour drive from where I go to school. I often see people post that they feel safe eating chinese food, and I was wondering what people order at chinese restaurants? I know we can't eat soy sauce, so the CC risk has me pretty nervous...
  14. IChaseFrisbees
    Hey everybody, so a few more related questions. 1 If you have celiac, are you also supposed to avoid transglutaminase? 2 Eating gluten when you have a problem with it (such as before you're diagnosed) can lead to other food intolerances right? The most common ones being dairy, soy, corn, nightshades (correct me if I'm wrong on any of this.) Is there a...

    Hey man, I'm sorry to hear about that, it's really frustrating when people keep screwing you and don't understand. To be honest with you I may have gotten lucky, because the manager's wife happens to be off of gluten, but I told him that I've still been having problems even with the things that are supposedly gluten free, and that I needed him to extend...

    My problem with the dining hall at my school is that I just wasn't proactive, prepared and knowledgeable enough. I went in there and talked to them, and ended up leaving feeling great about the whole thing when they had just convinced me I could eat a lot of things they had. Well, it turned out their ingredient labeling wasn't very comprehensive or reliable...
  17. IChaseFrisbees
    *Sigh* I guess you're right I'm frustrated endlessly by feeling bad without knowing why (before the diagnosis I was extremely depressed/furious at life because I thought I would never find out what was wrong with me) but I guess it'll take some of the stress out of my life to just keep a food diary and find out what works and what doesn't. Thanks for...

    Awesome, thank you very much

    Anybody know a safe brand?
  20. IChaseFrisbees
    It's been pretty tough for me. Normally I'm at practice 3 times a week and in the gym another 3 days, but if I get glutened then everybody has to count me out for at least 2 days, which can get pretty frustrating. The worst part is in team sports, when the rest of the guys are working really hard and I don't feel well enough to run at all. Generally my...

    Oh wow, I live in Alameda (well, my parents do, I go to UC Santa Cruz now.) But I lived there my whole life. How long have you known about the gluten thing? I first started having symptoms in May and got diagnosed in October.
  22. IChaseFrisbees
    Yeah, I've reacted to several brands of rice pasta. That's very interesting about the transglutaminase, because a doctor told me to start taking that for intestinal health... I just can't figure this out. What should I go off? Should I just abandon dairy, soy and corn? Are those the most likely foods to be offensive in addition to gluten?
  23. IChaseFrisbees
    Has anyone else had problems wit things that have been -I don't know the exact way to say it- refined or something? Like, pasta made from rice hits my digestive system just like gluten does, and yesterday I ate some corn tortillas and completely safe corn tortilla chips and today I'm feeling the effects (there was little to no possibility of CC, i prepared...

    Hey everybody, I recently came home for winter break and have been completely in charge of what I eat (thank goodness!) I've been cooking myself a lot of chicken, sweet potatoes, rice, eggs etc., all things that appear to be gluten free. I've been completely clear of cross-contamination to the best of my knowledge, as I haven't been eating in restaurants...
  25. IChaseFrisbees
    You know, I never thought it was very serious. What does having shortened tendons mean? Would fixing the problem make me faster, or allow me to jump higher? Oh no, I'm not offended or anything. To tell you the truth I've always wondered if something could be not quite right; before I was born I managed to wrap my umbilical cord around my throat...
