I am still learning about celiac. Swansons broth is unsafe. (made me sick) Unless it is printed on the label, it is not safe. I have used the Swansons "cardboard" container, which it is labeled gluten free. When I have been glutened, it always takes the skin reaction the longest to heal. I thought for a awhile I was touching gluten or soaps, shampooes...

Unless it is stated on the contaner, gluten free, I would not use it. I know I used a can of Swansons beef broth and it made me sick. Swansons does have gluten free, but it is printed on the label. There is a difference.

Wow! Are you sure it is the chocolate? I am still trying to figure this out. I have read that M&M's and Snickers are safe, but my DH tells me different. I wonder if the vanilla in these chocolate goodies are more the problem. While I don't have a gut reaction as I do with gluten foods, (plus many other symptoms), I do have the skin reaction. I am...

You might try the opposite approach...which is try treating that man like a king and tell him how thankful you are for every good thing that he does. NO, it is not fair to you or anything close to it, but possibly it will start something in him to make him change. With him throwing the toaster out, tells me he does care, maybe encouragement instead of...

Maybe... the rainbarrel affect. If that is how it works, maybe when you started you did the strict diet and the healing process began, ( the less in your rainbarrel. ) As you added foods that may or may not have gluten, maybe started filling up your rainbarrel until you are full and spilling over (sick) again. I would go back to basics.

The steak...was it fresh or was it frozen? It took me three months to figure out that the frozen chiken I was grilling had been frozen in a broth. The broth solution made me sick, and the company told me it was safe...not so!

Your meat...fresh or frozen before cooking??

I am not a kid, I am 58, but had similar symptoms. Went to doc, nuero's, and emergency rooms, only to be told what it wasn't. After going gluten free, symptoms disappeared. (about 3 months later.)

Yes, it sounds like you got glutened...sorry! Did the ham have carmel coloring? I use the Hormel canned ham, it is safe. I also do not use mayo or pickles because of the distilled vinegar, it makes me react.. My brother brought me some gluten free (on the label) corn chips (Great Value) and they glutened me, so beware of even the some of the gluten free...

At first, I had other symptoms that I now know are celiac. When I started losing a pound a day, I also was losing a handful of hair a day and my teeth became loose, my heart rate skyrocketed, plus multiple other symptoms, so I really wouldn't even think about it, to be a good way to lose weight. I am chubby and now that I am gluten free, and intestines...

I agree with ravenwoodglass...distilled vinegar. A lot of Great Value products say gluten free but if it has any distilled vinegar, it doesn't pass my lips...makes me sick.
