    I agree and if you have any deficiencies, such as Iron, Magnesium or B12 you will get fatigue and muscle aches. I thought I had fibro, too but 6mos gluten-free and taking these supplements, all symptoms went away. I used to have afternoon fatigue really bad and no longer experience it whatsoever. B12 made the most difference as far as my energy level. If...

    This bread is so fantastic tasting, but Ive noticed it makes me a little gassy? Anyone else? Ive only had the whole grain kind. It has teff flour in it...maybe thats it. I heard they have a white bread. Maybe I should try that? What do you guys think? Im obscessed with this bread it is the best Gluten-Free bread I have ever had!!

    Thank you so much that really helped alot!! I think I really just over do it sometimes. I love to find new foods so much that I just dont moderate them very well. Im going to stay fructose light including honey and see if my system calms down, the inulin fiber was making everything worse. I didnt have a problem with it until I overloaded my system. I have...

    I have recently figured out that too much of any food besides meat and veggies is not a good thing. It overloads our already damaged, sensitive systems! I have reacted to quinoa in the past and now I eat it maybe 1x a week and handle it fine. I recently experienced this over the holidays when I baked everything with honey, agave and maple syrup(all fructose...

    I have been Gluten-Free 1 year and I am having some issues with fructose and inulin. The whole topic is so confusing. When I eat agave, I have a violent reaction of intestinal pain and D. Also experience this with FOS/inulin. Are the two related? Do I have to cut out all sugars or just these ones? Will it get better when my intestine are healed? I seem to...

    I use the pancake mix for pancakes and the flour for everything else!

    I improved quite slowly in the first few months. I will be 1yr gluten free on New Years Day and my symptoms are completely gone. I feel amazing. Do not get discouraged if it dosent happen right away. Medically, they give you up to 2yrs for complete healing time so be patient.

    So one year gluten free after all was ruled out and celiac was determined by my dr and I through no real medical testing besides an inconclusive IgA IgG test. As if I need more confirmation! I feel the most amazing Ive ever felt in my life. Now Im having normal bms everyday!! Its amazing to witness the actual healing of my intestine. The bm thing is something...

    Have you been diagnosed with refractory sprue? You say you started Gluten-Free diet in june as in 5 months ago? I dont think thats nearly enough time to be healed from celiac. It took me a year for my symptoms to clear all of which were similar to yours. They did come and go and come back with a vengance a few times. And I was not cc'd either. It is such...

    Im doing my first Thanksgiving this year. Im just gonna make everything Gluten-Free and not say anything. Its such a hassle to do 2 menus, Ive done it before. Now a days, I think the Gluten-Free food out there is so good that nobody will even notice. Ive made B-day cakes and stuff for parties and my food is always the hit of the party! Get one of those Betty...

    Youre doing great! I remember being starving too. Your body is finally ready to abosorb those nutrients!! Its a good thing I welcomed it because I, according to my parents "ate like a bird" my whole life and could actually stand to GAIN some! LOL! Now I eat a full meal! Yay! and Im 29!! I think the advice on veggies is GREAT!! Load up! They have no fat and...

    Yes!! I cannot eat dairy. I have tested this theory on myself many times and it goes away everytime I quit dairy. I also stay away from tomato products and citrus. My heartburn is non-existant when I avoid these foods.

    Pamelas gives me the poopies too. It has buttermilk in it. That may be why. I like Bob's Red Mill. They are yummy and They don't bother me at all.

    If you have been constipated, it could be as simple as a hemroid. See your doctor just in case.

    Edited that sentence cuz I want to support eachother not argue. Much appologies.
  16. Mrs. Smith
    I would replace plastic. I wash stainless pots and pans in dishwasher and have never had a problem. I just use tin foil on cookie sheets and so on...Your son might like Amys rice mac and cheese if he can have dairy. I like the Arrowhead Mills Gluten-Free pancakes the best. Kinnickinnick makes graham crackers and oreo type cookies that are so good. Lundberg...

    Yes I put Gluten-Free chicken broth in it (Pacific or Imagine foods brands). I changed quinoa brands from Bob's Red Mill to Ancient Harvest. It says gluten free right on the front of it? I thought maybe the way its processed may be contaminated or something. Some companies arent as dilligent as Bob's which has NEVER given me problems. I trust them completely...

    Ya it was definately the high amounts of citric acid that made my ulcer flare. I was eating a lot of those darn popsicles! I do not have a thyroid problem. I take methyl b12 everyday. The only common denominator here is the prilosec. You might be on to something maybe I was absorbing it so much better. Anyone have these gluten-type reactions to Quinoa? Thats...
  19. Mrs. Smith
    Yes I take a probiotic. How long before it would help? I feel like Im at square one again like celiac.

    Ok so about a month ago, I got a really bad ulcer (from lime popsicles of all things!) so much for citrus! I had to take prilosec for about 4 weeks. The last week of it I had horrible D and knew it was from the Prilosec. I stopped taking it 2weeks ago and my digestion is still messed up! I get D easily not everyday but enough! Could the prilosec have re damaged...

    I agree. I knew, didnt want to believe it, but knew somewhere inside. Luckily for me my Dr advocates the Blood Type diet and told me to avoid gluten. I realised when I did that all my symptoms were celiac. when he saw me 1month after beginning the diet, and saw my improvement he dx'd me without tests he was so convinced! Ive been gluten free since and have...

    does anyone have a good oatmeal cookie recipe? one that uses agave instead of sugar?
  23. Mrs. Smith
    Im not sure what that medical term means, but sounds like it might mean some damage. I hope the Dr finds some kind of answer. Maybe you cant take Prilosec? It helped me so much and I never had any side effects from it. If I took apple cider vinegar, I would be in so much pain and Im sorry but a glass of cool water does NOT work for me. I have heartburn because...
  24. Mrs. Smith
    I take enzymes pretty regularly and they seem to help. I want to point out though, that if you have ulcers or mucosal damage in your dudenum, Prilosec can be very effective in healing them. If the acid keeps damaging it can be a vicious cycle. I have taken it a few times and it has healed my celiac induced ulcers, along with a strict diet, of course. I digest...

    I have also had this problem post gluten-free. Calcium, magnesium, b12, massage therapy and excersize helped me. Patience and time helped too. It only lasted a couple of months. Now when I get glutened I seldom experience any of these problems except muscle pain. The twitching, and tingling has all resolved with the diet and bi-weekly massages really helped...
