    Kinikick (sp???) has a mix that is gluten-free, DF, SF, CF, YF that I use. It works, it is vey crumbly, but it helps with the bread cravings. I make a loaf and then slice it and freeze two slices together so I can just stick them in the microwave when I am craving a sandwhich. I have not found a receipe only this mix. I also use the leftovers and ends...

    Peeps are one of the few things my oldest will eat - look for black bats for halloween!

    My husband makes eggs with veggies and bacon every morning except one day a week and that day I eat cereal with rice milk. We precook the bacon so he only warms up enough each morning for a slice or two each.

    I have had a geographic tongue my whole life - my mom asked the doc and he said that's what it is...nothing more, nothing less and I have never noticed any specific changes other than the appearance changes but nothing I can pinpoint to. However, since I have had it since birth, now almost 40, I don't really pay attention to it. I have horrible allergies...

    I am both casein and lactose intolerant. I avoid all dairy. An easy way to test is to eat dairy, take the lactaid pills and if you don't react, you are probably not casein intolerant (from what I have read before on the boards). The pills never helped me and I gave all dairy up before learning that there was even a difference except I could not eat ANY dairy...

    I take them as needed too - I couldn't live without them sometimes. They make me thirsty and tired and when I start to cramp, they calm it down unless it is REALLY, REALLY bad like if I eat chili for dinner and lunch more than 2 days in a row and then I kind of did that to myself anyway. I have IBS too so sometimes, when my stomach acts up, it takes a...

    I have not had any tests - other than an EGD which showed no damage. However, the doc only took three samples so who knows. Nobody in my family, except for my oldest has been tested and his was negative. My youngest will be tested next month. My mothers family seems rampant with intolerances, including gluten but nobody really put everything together...

    I make my pizzas with just a red sauce and no cheese. I don't miss it. I crave my pizza. For margarine/butter substitute, use oil for even replacement of melted butter (I prefer extra virgin olive oil) and for a shortening replacement (soy) I found I cannot tolerate Palm Shortening but I can have lard which sounds gross but has no flavor and my pie crusts...

    Thanks for all the input. I am casein intolerant myself and the pills and lactaid milk help him but they never helped me. His gas/bloating seems to be from something else. His doctor is well aware of celiac disease - her family has it and told me that not everyone shows symptoms, which I knew, but I was glad she did too. We will try a gluten-free...

    I completely agree - in fact, I bugged my new husband (4 years now) so much in the beginning, even before I had all these problems, that he needs to tip bigger so I did the tipping in the beginning. Now, he is much better and rarely has to ask. In fact, now that I have such a special order, we tip bigger. My regular resturaunts, even when we skip a couple...

    I eat veggies at every meal and for snacks...plus all the physical goodies. Oh, my kids only eat healthy foods (except for treats occasionally) for every meal.

    Really, you can have vinegar again???
  13. kabowman
    I have tried several times without success, I still cannot eat any of those foods and my docs (PCP and Allergiest) don't think I ever will.
  14. kabowman
    I agree - once I eliminated the gluten, I was able to identify other foods I cannot eat. Once you start narrowing it down, it gets even easier - although, yeast was a difficult one for me to figure out and it took the longest. I did a food journal for a month and it really helped.

    My oldest had reflux and at about a year, he outgrew the problem. We even tried him on solids a little early but that didn't help - it just came up thicker (sorry for the yuck). However, I know we were lucky - I know many do not. He tested negative for celiac disease at age 14 but since birth cannot tolerate nitrates or cinnamon (I had to give up while...

    I just figured out about 6 weeks ago that my 12-year-old son is lactose intolerant. He can drink lactaid milk OK but has very little tolerance for any lactose - he even has a problem with hard cheeses. He notices the difference and chooses to avoid most dairy. The pills help but not with ice cream a lot, his one real dairy vice. However, he has to...

    Corn syrup is added to just about everything in a jar, bottle, box, etc. Gum, pasta sauce, pizza sauce, catsup, soda, cereal, etc...it is in EVERYTHING. Unfortunately, I can't remember everything because I quit buying it over a year ago but look at everything and it is there! You have to really look, even in a health food store, for products that do not...

    I was gluten-free about a month when I went in to see my doc and she said, oh you are just allergic, you will always be allergic, end of story. I have an allergist and it isn't an allergy - I changed docs and was gluten-free 3 months before I saw this one, who ordered a biopsy and I refused to go back on gluten for the tests. The biopsy was negative, he didn...

    Nobody in our family has ever really tested positive for celiac disease although several of us have gluten intolerance, including me. My oldest son was tested and results were negative but he has problems with nitrates and cinnamon so he avoids those foods. My youngest son, 12 1/2, I realized has lactose intolerance, he was recently dx with asthma, and...

    I noticed I have a problem with corn and so I had to eliminate all high fructose corn syrup - but - mine is not just the syrup but all corn.

    I went gluten free (see signature), the noticed other food problems and by the end of everything, by December, I realized that my joint pain, that I have been having for about 15 years, was GONE!!!! Fixing my diet definitly helped my joint pain. There is also a theory that nightshade veggies cause joint pain - potatoes, tomotatoes, egg plant, peppers...

    I have to deal with this occasionally too (several times a year) and we take a cooler with some leftovers for the first day and a bag of snacks, cereal, etc. that I can eat and the first night, go to the grocery store, buy meat and veggies, and cook them seperate from everyone elses food. If you think they won't have the right baking/cooking pots, pans, dishes...

    I had a really great experience. However, my waiter told me his mother had a whole bunch of food intolerances too so I am sure that made a difference when he talked to the chef. I told the waiter and he had the chef chat with me and I had NO problems--the chef suggested a meal that I could eat based on my criteria--no butter, no vegetible oil, no wheat...

    I cannot tolerate any vinegar, even rice vinegar (I made my own mayo and mustard trying to find a way around my problems and that didn't help either), and I cannot tolerate any grain alchohls. My problem is yeast though, I think. There is yeast in the vinegar process - I read that in one of my many early searches - on a candida site. I am guessing, that...

    The only thing I don't like is there chewy snack bars - their crunchy ones I liked but I am not sure they have them anymore. Everything else, I love because I can't find anything else that doesn't use soy and/or corn. They are almost my only option.
