    Vitainims & minerals can be toxic as well as drugs. I don't believe in mega dosing anything..unless it is a life & death situation....then I may try anything! I had a reaction to B-6 was not taking extra just what was in a multi I was taking..Small amount but my body just didn't need it so the body rebelled...I find...

    Ypou could save yourself some heartache by getting tested first....It is really hard to go back to gluten once you see how good it feels without the poison!!!!That would be the hardest thing for me... Yes, you need to clean counters,cupboards where gluten has been stored,no using jars that had a gluten knife in.. Get new....Check pot &...

    Being gluten-free for just over four months may not be enough time given for your body to heal. For some healing is quick & for others two three years... Plus are you off dairy? You sinply may be also reacting to other foods even if they are gluten-free.. you said gluten-free oats bother you.. I was always told not to eat gluten...

    very easy to do... again if we continue to look at every label which I get lazy at times as well we wouldn't have that issue...somedays there just isn't time to look at every single thing that goes into our shopping carts... And it would be nice if companies didn't make them look like the wheat ones.... Maybe they think...

After much fighting with the endo I now take nature-roid, ( RLC Labs...

    wow. that's some site! one could go on a gluten-free sugar high! What I'm now really searching for is a gluten-free candy that is the same size as a malted milk ball....I have a recipe for candy turky's that uses an oreo(gluten-free) candy corn & a malted milk ball.. for the head... I can make truffles but I'll keep searching...

    Just sending hugs your way! Part of the healing process is coming to terms with withever we each have been given.. Going gluten-free is ilke loosing a part of your being. From an early age we have been taught that the staff of life is good for us. Only now do we know wheat is not the staff of life any longer.. going gluten-free can...

    Me too. Several years ago Glutino (I think) used to make a bar called Big Break & it was just like a kitkat... There is a recipe floating around for a homemade version. Glutino now has a hazelnut bar that isn't to bad ...butI loved the BigBreak Bar...

    Skylark I agree no gluten-free licorice is like the real deal...have you tried the ACE gluten-free brand? still not wonderful but again gluten-free!!!!!
  21. mamaw
    sounds like ADDICTION.....which does happen so you are not alone. If you can not control these binges on your own you should seek professional help.. Wheat & gluten withdrawral can be for some as hard as stopping smoking or drinking. By continuing this pattern you are wrecking your health... I hope you find treatment...
  22. mamaw
    Sorry you are having a hard time of things...You may be a person who can not tolerate eatinig out even when the place states it has gluten-free. There are some who are VERY sensitiveto the slightest amounts of gluten. Another is it is something else making you ill. ie: sulphites or tannins in wine.. Your body is telling you...

    No two alike! God made us all unique for sure! Some more than others!!!!!!!

    I have bouts where I'm full but minutes later I'm starving... I find it is from being hypo thyroid. And others find it is from blood sugar levels...Have you checked those two things?
  25. mamaw
    I do react to artifical sweetners,severe headaches, stomach pains, itchy skin.I also don't think it has anything to do with celiac.
