About Me

Hmm...what about me. I'm married, three kids, and went gluten-free two days after my 40th birthday (2009) while were on vacation. It was getting so sick from the whole wheat crackers and cheese we ate for lunch that pushed me over the edge. I went dairy free about three weeks later.

It wasn't until 2002 that I really began to notice significant issues with my health, but I'd had intermittent diarrhea since I was about 20 (always chalked it up to stress), and when I was 19 I suddenly (literally overnight) developed allergies and chronic rhinitis. Then chest pains (at 21) which continued for the next 19 years. "Stress" again. Lots of little things looking back over the years, but nothing ever connected together until just recently.

I'm feeling better than I have in years, haven't had a single 'heart attack' pain since going gluten-free, but I'm having ups and downs. The downs are becoming somewhat easier to deal with since the gluten and soy induced depression, anxiety, and panic attacks have decreased (unless I get glutened or soyed accidentally).

God Bless

    OK. It goes something like this: Don't bring food over or I'll kill you! No, seriously, I have a couple variations depending on if they know something about my 'food thing' or if they are totally in the dark. Hi, <blah blah having a party blah blah or whatever>. We'll have tons of foods/drinks/snacks/etc so we really won't need any extra...

    The only gluten we allow in the house is in beer, and it must be opened and consumed outside the kitchen area. This created a problem with our (adult) kids for a while and our grandchildren. The finally understood that I was serious. The only problem I still have is occasionally they will come in with cookie crumbs on their clothes. But we make sure we have...

    No don't! I don't want to have to ask one of the mods to change the topic title to include [NSFW]!

    The very first symptoms I ever had were heart related and onset of chronic rhinitis quite literally at the same time when I became involved in a lawsuit against my former employer. I was 20. Heart palpitations and Tachycardia. Nothing was every found even after a weekend of wearing a Holter monitor. They said it was stress and caffeine. The very last non...

    Whoops. That's true. Dear, OP (Original Poster) aka dani, PAMA (Please Accept My Apologies)! I did not mean to imply, insinuate, cause anyone to infer, deduce, or induct any line of logic or reasoning which would cause one to reach the conclusion that fish, in its natural dead state, prior to any cooking, cleaning, sushifying, or preparation...

    Also you'll occasionally see (mostly from me I think! ) SF = Soy Free CF = Casein Free DF = Dairy Free IANAL = I Am Not A Lawyer YMMV = Your Mileage May Vary (I think this should be mandatory at the top of every response containing advice!) IMO = In My Opinon IMHO = In My Humble Opinion; The poster then usually goes on to express some entirely...

    Two people I know have found they can't eat the Snickers Minis, but seem to be able to eat regular Snickers. Entirely anecdotal I know, but possibly the shared production line is a different setup (maybe that line has something crispy on it and the regular Snickers bar line doesn't)? Or perhaps you are more sensitive to CC at this time since you are just...

    Do they have a sourdough crust? And if so is that the crust you are eating?

    Along with the other questions above, also consider that lipsticks and lip balms are NOT gluten free. I can't kiss my wife if she has put certain lipsticks on - which has led some running jokes among us. Having done the GAPS diet for several months, I do think that there may be some misunderstanding as to the purpose and/or application of the diet....

    We like coconut milk. I think it has a creamier texture than the nut milks. I discovered raw (unpasteurized) earlier last year. I still cannot tolerate pasteurized dairy products (projectile vomiting within 10-15 minutes) but I have no problem with raw milk. I'm pretty sure I've figured out why Open Original Shared Link. Plus it (subjectively) tastes far...

    Oh yes. Panic attacks, anxiety, insomnia, irritability, anger. One of the big things now when I get glutened is I get really, really irritable (along with other issues). Anecdotally, you will find there can be other (or multiple) food related triggers for some people for some of these issues, but for many people here on the board, gluten appears to be the...

    Not my stomach. I was having intestinal spasms though. I wasn't swallowing I was breathing it in. I would wake up from a sound sleep choking and unable to breathe from stomach contents I was breathing in.

    I have a huge cross-presentation of some of my neuro symptoms (insomnia, panic attacks/anxiety, tachycardia, hot-flashes, widespread muscle fasciculation) with soy. I can't even ingest soy lecithin. Just an observation. Also as some said you my just be sensitive to a variety of things for the time being depending on your physiology and may have to avoid certain...

    Not necessarily. Open Original Shared Link to one article. According to some other things I've read scattered around, low HCL can cause a condition where the sphincter at the top of the stomach can loosen up, causing the regurgitation of stomach acid. At one point I had started waking up sometimes choking on my own stomach acid after I would inhale it while...
