    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...

    A gluten free trout of course!!!!!

    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...

    Heidi, Somebody above mentioned checking into LOW stomach acid. I would seriously check into this. I was on prilosec, nexium, tums, etc. for years. And even after going gluten-free/CF/SF it didn't completely clear up. Turns on my problem has been low stomach acid. And I had big clues years before but I'd never heard of such a thing. Now I take HCL with...

    I was a little taken aback by your post. While there have been some occasional heated discussions which the mods are pretty good about shutting down when they become entirely unproductive (sometimes heated discussions can be beneficial), I have found this forum to be one of the better, more rational open-subscription (anyone can join) forums I've seen in...

    Have you tried digestive enzymes with HCl ? My wife has a similar issue until she started taking these. And since I started taking them I haven't had to use any kind of anti-acid or anything for more than a year. Here is the one we found works best for us: Open Original Shared Link. We found them at a local health food store, but they are quite a bit cheaper...

    DA, I don't know. I'll ask her about it! Thanks for the heads up!

    Look at Quinoa to replace rice. It is much better than rice (I think) and cooks up the same way. I don't know if you have a Costco in your area, but you can find good sized bags of it there, or online. Get the prewashed Quinoa though, otherwise you have to rinse it because it has a natural insect repellent that is quite bitter. Quinoa is also much higher...

    Well if you were diagnosed as a child there must have been some significant indicators sufficient for a diagnosis at the time. On another note, while not a vegetarian (opposite in fact as I eat mostly meat), there are a number of vegetarians and vegans on the board here. What specifically is it that is causing you to feel it will be difficult to maintain...

    Hi Harley, Don't fear, you won't have to give up baking! It will take some work but two friends who have a catering business converted their entire business to gluten-free about three years ago, and nobody noticed! Bread, rolls, desserts, everything. And they make everything from scratch. She is the one who brings all the bread recipes to our monthly GiG...

    If you had a diagnosis as an infant, you have Celiac Disease. It doesn't go away and you don't get over it. Yes, you MUST stick to the diet. See previous statement. And I've always considered fish to be meat! And probably no, you won't stop obsessing! =) Depends on how seriously you take this disease I guess. I don't think that having an ongoing, continuing...
