    I went to a gastro doctor a year ago and had a blood test for celiac, I don't know if it was a 'comprehensive panel' as I wasn't given the info..but they told me I don't have celiac disease. Maybe I don't, but I definitely notice a reaction to eating gluten and have been avoiding it. I notice some alleviation of the symptoms when I eat more fruit/vegetables...

    Thanks for the advice. No, I have not had a biopsy or colonoscopy and kind of dread the thought of having those done.

    "Brain fog" is difficult or embarassing to explain/justify to others. I probably come across as lazy, because I am always in a fog or daze, and cannot get tasks done on time. I always take naps, which makes me look lazy. Saying, "I'm sorry, I have a mysterious disease that hinders my cognitive abilities and makes me very tired" isn't very well understood...

    Maybe it is something else in the slushie making you feel sick, possibly the excessive sugar? I would be sick if I had a slushie or soda, just because of the excessive sugars/corn syrup.

    I don't know if it will help you feel any better, but I once tried to steam my skin pores over a bowl of boiled water, and I burnt my nose, and ended up with a very noticeable red burn mark on the tip of my nose. It was right before an event the next day. I ended up looking like Rudolph the reindeer for about a month afterwards. So I can kind of relate to...

    I generally feel better when I eat foods such as buckwheat, quinoa, eggs (eggs have nutrients, though I am not sure if everyone can tolerate them), lentils, basic soups, and all vegetables/fruits. I try to eat very basic food that doesn't have many ingredients. There is a buckwheat food that can be bought in a box in most supermarkets called Kasha, and you...

    It's nice that some places are starting to offer gluten free foods but I probably would pass. I still don't really want to eat rice flour, sugar, corn syrup, etc. for other health reasons. I can't eat sugar because my teeth have weakened enamel (which I think possibly celiac contributed to)

    I have been on a gluten free diet for about a month now, and my health was beginning to improve. But I was still skeptical about whether I am gluten intolerant or not, so yesterday I did a "test". I consumed 2 pieces of gluten pizza and a gluten muffin. The pizza did cause any symptoms right away. But later I ate a muffin and shortly afterwards felt like...

    I've also been wondering the effect of GMO food on diseases such as celiac and other food intolerances. Could it be that people are intolerant to genetically modified wheat, rather than wheat itself? I see many people on this forum also claim intolerances to other common genetically modified foods, like corn and soy. Even most gluten-free food products seem...

    These are the exact same symptoms I experience, very strange. This list sums up my most troubling symptoms. It's very frustrating because my brain does not function the way it should, and nothing seems to snap me out of it. I have a fear that it's actual brain damage. However, I am not sure if I simply have a gluten problem or some other cause(s).

    Maybe you have a sensitivity to something in these foods. Take a look at the ingredient labels to see if there is any common ingredient in the foods causing you stomach aches. It could also simply be that foods like bagels and English muffins tend to be heavy and difficult to digest.

    Thanks for sharing this.

    I understand that it's hard to replicate wheat foods. I don't really care much about the taste and texture of most food, but my mother is really picky. Trying to get her to eat new things is difficult. It's like dealing with a picky five year old. I'm not sure what is most cost effective, as it seems like buying the special ingredients for baking can...

    Lately I have been eating this recipe a lot, because it is easy to make: in a pot you put some canned chickpeas, tomato sauce with sour cream mixed in, along with some spices (garlic powder, pepper, herbs, cumin etc.) Then you just heat it up for a few minutes. I usually eat it with rice and kale.

    I have a question for anyone experienced with gluten-free baking..is it worth it to buy all of these gluten-free flours and baking ingredients individually, or should I just buy the pre-made mixes (they seem like a cheaper deal)? Also, can you recommend any products or recipes that are good? I want to make baked foods that taste like the real version. I am...

    The main symptoms I experience are neurological symptoms..dizziness, headache, fatigue, brain fog, feeling of pressure in the head or sinus, confusion, irritabilty, inability to focus or concentrate, sore bloodshot eyes. I've had people think I'm drunk or on drugs. I am still not 100% sure if I have a gluten intolerance problem, but it seems like a possibility...

    Yes, it could be that. Someone else in my family has psoriasis. I have small bumps under the skin of my palms also, which looks like it could be mild psoriasis.
  18. djs89
    I also thought it could be psoriasis. It can be difficult to tell, based on pictures online. It doesn't look like most of the pictures of psoriasis I've seen, but it could be that. I haven't done a gluten free diet, yet, but I have never had this kind of rash before.

    Ahh, ok. Does the itchiness correlate to gluten consumption? For example is it more itchy if you eaten gluten, less itchy if you avoid it?
  20. djs89
    Could it be that the rash itches because people try to touch it or pick at it? I haven't touched the rash since I noticed it, and it is only mildly bothersome. I avoid scratching it because that would make it worse. I also put clay on it, perhaps that helped prevent itchiness?

    I have no official diagnosis of celiac disease, but I experience symptoms similar to it. However, I'm not brave enough to have an intestinal biopsy. I haven't been adhering to a strict gluten free diet due to a lack of confirmation. I have a family history of Crohn's disease, which seems to be linked to Celiac disease. I had a celiac blood test, which came...

    Hi, Im 19, I've had health problems the past couple years with acne, fatigue, depression, poor concentration and memory, and constipation even though I ate fiber, vegetables and fruits. Sometimes the constipation problem was very severe and I nearly had to go to the hospital, but I was too embarassed to go to a doctor about it. Lately I've been learning...
