    Hello, (new) friend. Just curious: Have you ever gone to your local drug or health store and bought yourself alpha-lipoic acid? If so, any good results? - P.J.

    Been lactose intolerant since about age 10. Not long ago after about 3 months of being gluten-free I had some ice cream and forgot my lactaid tablet. Was pleasantly surprised to find a reversal of the lactose intolerance. This has been a consistent change. I'm curious why this happens. Then earlier this week I ingested some gluten, had the usual reaction...

    Thank you for this recommendation! I just had Kinnick the other day and it was awful! Same w/Nature's highlights. Both gooey inside. I'd resigned myself to the idea of never eating pizza again, and I make a very healthy sauteed veggie pizza that was once a staple. Going to try your fave crust.

    Is Candex similar to Caprylic acid? I used to take that and have been thinking of resuming as I still have ups and downs since going gluten-free.

    There are quite a few grain-free cat foods following the scare a couple years back. I feed mine a prescription food mixed with Wellness grain-free which you can get at many pet supply stores or on-line if your local store does not carry it.

    In response to the various questions... it's shaking back and forth, like vibrating. Like I said it's a fine movement, so if someone isn't looking for it they probably would not notice. It happens mostly in my head and is a back and forth (as opposed to up and down) shaking. It developed with the onset of lupus and fibro in '02 and '03, but some of...

    Mine is a very fine tremor in my head. Does anyone have this? Any theory how to improve it, say B12 twice a day instead of once, or...? Thanks!

    So funny! Thank you for that! :lol: :lol:

    Do they have an expiration date? If so you could return them to the store and ask for a fresh package. Sorry can't help more, I've red good things about them and it's the responsibility of the Whole Foods to remove expired packages from their shelves; if it were me I'd talk with the manager. Maybe someone else could suggest another brand; I haven't baked...

    This is only anecdotal, but I had some fries there last week for the first time since going gluten-free in May, and had no reaction. On the other hand, they're pretty junky so I don't intend to eat them more than once in a blue moon. Think that would be my path as well if I had a son or daughter.

    Maybe when you have a craving for pot. chips (it could be the salt and crunch you're drawn to) eat some salted nuts or seeds? I eat blue diamond roasted almonds w/sea salt. Nuts have fat but it's the kind your body needs. It sounds like you're on the right track talking w/your doc... maybe get some nutritional testing? Sometimes vitamin deficiencies cause...

    Just curious.

    ITA, I enjoy quinoa. Eat for breakfast w/soy milk honey & cinnamon. The box has a recipe for quinoa tabbouleh I saved, plus I want to make quinoa stuffed peppers w/ground beef & onions when the weather cools down and I feel like turning on the oven.

    That's helpful. I've read from 50 to 100 grams which is a big swing. Half your weight I can abide by.

    t sin 3 Muskateers is also my treat. I rarely ate them before but read here it's a gluten-free candy and I;ve had one almost every day for 2 months now and love it. That's my only dessert, rest of diet healthy so w/that regimen I've lost 4 pounds. Could lose a few more still but NOT giving up my candy bar.

    What about swimming? Easier on the joints/connective tissue and you're not putting weight on your feet. Just an idea. Regarding diet, you said you eat minimal veggies and fruit. I eat a lot of both, from 3 - 6 cups a day of fresh/cooked. I use convenience, eg bagged romaine lettuce & pre-cut veggies which are pricier but it's a healthy indulgence...

    Thank you for sharing Daphniela... glad you are seeing such improvements!

    Thank you for responding ravenwoodglass and helping me play detective. I did have at least one brain MRI a couple years ago and the neuro said it was normal. Think I'll phone him and ask if there were UBOs -- I'd never heard of that. The detailed information here never fails to astound me. I appreciate your corroborating that many with celiac disease...

    Would appreciate receiving your thoughts on my status. Negative blood test but lab only tested 2 of the 4 markers. This left open the possibilities of celiac disease or gluten intolerance/allergy. I opted to skip the biopsy. (chicken ) Decided instead to go gluten-free, see what happened. Am now two and a half months gluten-free. IBS gone (that...

    Very interesting, thank you for sharing that. It does seem like we might expect to read more media articles about it bc 1 in 100 means celiac disease is quite prevalent.
  21. shirleyujest
    This question doesn't make sense to me, help me understand... gluten is a problem when it's ingested, unless you swallow shampoo it doesn't matter does it?
  22. shirleyujest
    Thank you for sharing, that's interesting.

    Test results finally came: TTG antibody, IGA - less than 3 U/mL Endomysial antibody IGA - TNP reflex testing not required Endomysial antibody titer - Reflex testing not required IGA serum - 244 TTG antibody IGG - Reflex testing not required I was eating the "old way" in the days leading up to the test, which was done May 11. Since...

    Thank you Peter!

    Twice now I've had Baskin Robbins mint choc chip and had a mild reaction, but it may have been the lactose. A search on this site led to their ingredient list, and the only one that looks suspect is whey. Does anyone else have experience with this flavor ice cream, BR in general, or knowledge of the type of whey used in ice cream, whether it isolates gluten...
