    This Whole Foods product is a nutritional powder mix that contains such super foods as wheat and barley grass, spinach, broccoli, and spirulina. The product claims to be gluten free, but when I tried a sample of it at Whole Foods, 45 minutes later my stomach was in terrible knotts and I had no other food during the day. I am sure that I had a reaction to...

    I am 5'0 and gluten intolerant.

    If I am casein intolerant, can I have lactic acid from a dairy source, or would it still contain the protein? Thanks

    I eat non-dairy icecream because I am Casein intolerant as well as Gluten intolerant. The brands "So Delicious (made from coconut milk)" and "Soy Delicous (obviously soy)" make some gluten free icecreams, they will say gluten free around the cap if they are. I also sometimes eat rice dream, good karma (rice based), and tempt (hemp milk). These will be labeled...

    ARCHIVED Food Intolerance Testing

    kdonov2 posted a topic in Doctors

    Does anyone know where I canget food intolerance testing done in Chicago? Anyone have any doctor recommendations? I tried a search and only find Dr.'s who do allergy testing. I am also not Celiac, just gluten intolerant, so Celiac Dr.'s are probably not the route to go for me. If anyone has any advice, I would greatly appretiate it. Thanks

    Thanks, It is always nice to hear from another person about their experiences. I know that I feel better off of all grains, even brown rice, the most hypoallergenic. I must say that I admire the strength of people who have all these food intolerances who so willingly cut out the problem foods in their diet. Going grain free is probably what is best for...

    So I noticed that many people are corn intolerant on these forums and I decided to pay special attention to when I ate corn products. I am intolerant of dairy and gluten and one of the main symptoms I have if I eat them, is an insatiable hunger, nothing will fill me up. So, yesterday, after I ate a spaghetti squash pesto dinner that filled me up, I thought...

    I am not the most knowledgable person, but I do have casein/gluten intolerances. Someone can correct me if I am wrong, but I do not believe dairy protein stays in the body as long as gluten, so it takes a really long time to detox from gluten (think 6 weeks at least). You may or may not experience relief from symptoms at that point. Some people feel worse...

    ARCHIVED Beer Fumes?

    kdonov2 posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    My friend was cooking beer brats recently and it filled his tiny little apartment and made me so nauseous. They say the alcohol cooks out. Was this psycho-somatic or can beer fumes really make a gluten intolerant person ill?
  12. kdonov2
    I too believe there may be a link between both Celiac's and eating disorders, but is not necessarily the cause of it. correlation does not always infer causation. Many of the Celiac's have mentioned that their eating disorders have been in remission since becoming gluten free, though some cannot make the same claim and still deal with occasional anorexia...

    I tried Bakery on Maine granola before I knew I was Casein Intolerant and loved it. Apparently, it may contain traces of milk due to shared equipment. Have any of you dairy-free folk tried this? Did you have any reactions? I would like to know if the amount of milk is significant enough to hurt me or if I can enjoy this delicious product. Thanks!

    Hi, I hope this thread is in the right place. I am going to do the SCD but I have trouble eating veggies and meats without some sort of sauce or condiment. I know you cannot have anything with sugar, soy or vinegar in it, and already that limits many, Can anyone reccommend one? I really like complex flavors with lots of spice, so it is tough to go back...

    I do not have any recipes off hand but here are some suggestions that you could look up online if you wish: -Pumpkin Custard -Pumpkin smoothies -Flourless pumpkin bread Open Original Shared Link -Pumkin pie or cheesecake with a crushed nut or seed "crust" -Pumpkin toffee/fudge -Pumkin pudding/mousse -Pumpkin icecream -Fried pumpkin fritters -Pumpkin...

    I know that many people are encouraged to buy entirely new untensils and cookwear when they discover they cannot have gluten. My question is, if I am sharing a kitchen with my non-celiac boyfriend and do not have a dishwasher, do I also need to have my own seperate sponge for dish cleaning? Thanks

    I plan on going on medical supervision, but I have been finding such poorly informed doctors who are skeptical of or poorly informed about food intolerances or whom I fear are needlessly making me take expensive tests. I have also not been tested for allergies, though I have been tested for dairy and gluten through enterolab. The hope was that after taking...

    Actually, I do think I may have a problem with soy, but I have yet to cut it out completely, though I do try to limit it. I did go on a strict elimination diet for a month, but still had symptoms. Some sources will allow certian foods while others will recommend against it, but if there was any discrepancy between allowable foods from one elimination diet...

    My step-sister suddenly had a serious autoimmune malfunction of some sort in which she was allergic to EVERYTHING. She could not eat anything without becoming horribly ill for days on end. Her stomach was ulcered from the reaction she had to foods and she wasn't absorbing anything. Doctor's did not know why this happened, but her naturopath and gastro decided...

    Kona Grill has a gluten free menu, but to my surprise, no sushi or sashimi was listed. They have gluten-free soy sauce, what could be glutinous with the sushi or slabs of raw fish? Does anyone know? The staff were unable to answer my questions.

    No, actually. I had been severely underweight my entire life up until about mid-puberty when I had a BMI that would be considered average. Although, for my bone structure it may have been borderline chubby. I attribute the weight increase to my body's adaption to gluten, which just made me eat like crazy. last year before going gluten free I was 105 lbs at...

    I used to have that problem. I was ravenous all the time and could eat anyone under the table. I never seemed to reach a point of satiety. After gowing gluten free, my hunger cues are different and it does not take much to fill me up. For being so short and petit, it must have been a sight to see little me consuming practically an entire table full of food...

    Thanks everyone. I have a hard time taking in many fluids, but I will definitely force myself to drink as much water as possible.

    I just confused my boyfriend's can of beans with one of my own. I ate a few bites and then I saw that it contained wheat flour. I am scared, what do I do? I took an omega 3, zinc, and L-glutamate, but is there anything else I should do? When will it be out of my system completely? Oh god I hate myself for being so careless. Can anyone please help me?
  25. kdonov2
    hmm. well im not quite sure what to make of it. I have not fully understood my lab results. they said that I have an autoimmune reaction to cows milk. does this mean that milk will damage my intestines like gluten does?
