    Thank you so much for your reply!! I was tested for Lyme(negative) and thyroid issues(all perfect). I already took the prednisone today and I feel like I should keep taking it for now, until my next dr appointment in 2 weeks. I think he's trying to see if my reaction to prednisone will rule anything out. I believe he's suspicious of mild lupus, but I...

    So for the past 5 months I've been experiencing increasing muscle and joint pain, fatigue, anxiety attacks, mind fog and now heavier and more frequent periods. No gastrointestinal symptoms. I've been to the doctor and had a ESR rate of 52(just means there's inflammation somewhere in my body, non-specific) and an ANA titer of 1:80(this just means there...

    YIKES!! I started reading this thread, not realizing the old date, and completely flipped for a moment...I've been eating Berry Berry Kix for the past week and thought it was safe-- it is! I'm not losing my mind after all I double checked my box and there are NO gluten ingredients listed. Doesn't mean there isn't some chance of cross-contamination, I guess...

    I would email them and see if they have any suggestions, I've emailed them before and they're pretty quick to reply. They do have a recipe on the site for Coffee cake using the Baking Mix, so I can't imagine it would be too much of a stretch to make it a chocolate cake instead. However, I am not skilled in any way at altering recipes, so I won't even go there...

    HOoray! I saw some of the new ones on sale yesterday *with* a coupon attached but I didn't buy it because I'd tried them before and didn't like them much...I may have to go run and pick some up now!

    I used to have fairly irregular periods before going gluten free (every 5-8 weeks), with horrific cramping. I've been gluten free for 18 months now and my periods have become regular almost to the day, every 29 days! I've *never* in my life been able to predict the day I will start, so I'm pretty happy with that! My periods are also SO SO much less painful...

    I use this spray often and I haven't had any problems with it. However, I know that sometimes it does drip down my throat slightly if I spray it too high up in my nose, so *if* you're super sensitive and *if* the product contains any gluten(very unlikely!), it's possible that you may be reacting. However, I have noticed that if I'm very congested before...

    I ate at I-HOP last month and had a great experience! I did notice on the menu that the the omelets contain pancake batter to make them fluffy, so I pulled the waitress aside explained to her that I have a "wheat allergy" and asked if my eggs could be made separate and without any batter. She spoke to the manager, who spoke to the cooks, and I received...

    I would *Love* to see a refrigerated gluten free dough that could be formed into biscuits, crescents, or cinnamon rolls...like Pilsbury has now I so miss the convenience of popping those biscuits into the oven without making a mix!

    I have spoken to customer service representatives of Silk a few times now and they have assured me each time that there is no gluten in any of their products, processing, or on their equipment. They don't deal with any gluten products at all. I believe you are probably thinking of Rice Dream Rice Milk, as Shopgirl mentioned.

    I'm 5'1" but it's totally genetic...my dad is 5'4" and my mom is 5'8"...I'm just a *tiny* person

    I made the cheesy bread balls the other day with Sharp Cheddar and they were *Amazing*! They also mention on the package about adding herbs to make the flavor different, so I may try to throw in something interesting next time

    I use Swanson (but keep in mind, Swanson Organic broth *does* have gluten) OR Best Choice Broth, they actually put "Gluten Free" right on the front of the box Hooray for cheaper off brands!

    I made this recipe awhile back and it was delicious! You make your own BBQ sauce, pour it over the meat, and cook in the crock pot(like you did) until it's nice and soft...just be sure to use a gluten free soy sauce like La Choy Open Original Shared Link p.s. I just subbed white vinegar for white wine vinegar, I don't think it makes any difference

    I had my wisdom teeth taken out last summer and I ate a lot of tomato soup. Here's a recipe that's fairly simple and you can use Lactaid milk to make it lactose free for you: Ingredients: 1 cup chopped onion 1 Tablespoon oil 1 Tablespoon minced garlic 2 teaspoons ground cumin 2 teaspoons ground mustard 2 teaspoons ground coriander 1 can...

    I've not personally dealt with Applebee's, but I do remember several people saying they've had really good experiences there! Just make sure to communicate exactly what you want and need to the server and make sure he/she understands about cross-contamination. You can have a good experience anywhere, really, if you're careful--I went to IHOP a couple...

    I don't know if your meds have gluten, but I do know that antibiotics in general mess up my digestive system pretty badly...and fast, too! I take a probiotic to counter the antibiotic, maybe you could try that? Hope you feel better soon!

    Unfortunately, I'm in the same boat as you all...you really don't want to even know how much I weigh, I don't want anyone to pass out at their computer I've always been tiny, but after going gluten free, I've had a *very* hard time keeping my weight up and I am so sensitive to taste, I can hardly stand all the "yummy" gluten free pastas and breads everyone...

    The Thunder from Down Under is *the most amazing* dessert I've ever had! Having said that, though, I stay away from the ice cream they serve with it, as I'm lactose intolerant...I let my hubby and toddler fight over the ice cream Perhaps you have a bit of lactose intolerance?

    My husband actually bought me a blender for Christmas, so I've been having smoothies and never thought of adding the vitamins that way! I'll head out to the health food store tomorrow and see if I can't see if I can pick something up...are there any specific vitamins you all can suggest? It'll be a little while until I can get into the specialist and/or my...

    I saw my doctor today and she is referring me to a GI doctor since she is just family medicine and admitted that I know a lot more about celiac and relating problems than she does. She strongly believes I have an ulcer, though. She decided to run a huge panel of tests to make sure I'm not deficient in anything, though, and they ended up drawing a LOT...

    The last week has been rough. I've been getting sick to my stomach after nearly every meal and I'm having a hard time eating anything. I'm nauseous all day and the past couple days I think I've started having anxiety attacks. I go to bed with my husband and turn out the light, but when the light goes off, I start panicking. It's the most terrifying experience...

    You're right! I meant to say Purvia but it came out wrong Thanks for correcting! I won't touch Truvia since it has erythritol.

    My husband's grandmother took us to IHOP last week and I was SO stressed out, but the waitress who served us was awesome! I told her I had a wheat allergy and asked if my food could be made separate to avoid cross-contamination. She told me she completely understood, that her son has the same problem. She spoke with the manager, who personally spoke to the...

    I'm looking into buying an 11 lb bag of Arborio Rice on Amazon since I've been making Risotto so much, but the rice is from Italy and I'm not familiar at all with packaging/processing in other countries. Is there any chance that this rice would be cross-contaminated for packaged alongside gluten products? I'd hate to buy the whole bag, just to find out that...
