    I'm going to try them again just by themselves to make sure that it wasn't the caseiny pan that got me (or relatively sure; my small saucepan has been used to make cheesy things, too) but I imagine that I'll be putting them aside or giving them away shortly. Thanks for the reply.

    I took out the bank loan and bought the 2 lb bag of Bob's Red Mill gluten free oats. Put about a bowl's worth with a 20 oz package of ground turkey to make meatloaf. It turned out outstanding, but while eating it, my face got hot. I went and looked in the mirror and didn't look noticeably red, but I certainly felt odd. I should mention that I don't get a...

    Well, not eating isn't an option, as that won't help but only hurt. The probability is that you have another sensitivity. Your best move is probably to try identifying what that might be. For a lot of us, it's dairy, so you might want to try eliminating dairy (assuming you haven't already) and see if that leads to further improvement. Or you can go over what...

    To be tested, you have to keep eating gluten. It would be better if you went on the gluten-free diet to see if your symptoms improve. If they do, just consider yourself gluten intolerant (or undiagnosed celiac) and get on with your happier life. If not, you'll have to keep investigating. Oh sorry; the answer to the question is yes, they can both be negative...

    Sorghum is definitely gluten-free (unless cross-contaminated of course). It's what's in nearly every gluten-free beer in fact.

    Let's see. I think I can simplify this fast. Dermatitis herpetiformis (dh) is frequently associated with celiac disease, but whether or not you're celiac, if you have dh you have to go on the gluten-free diet: Open Original Shared Link Dh is diagnosed by biopsy which can only be done during an outbreak. Since your dermatologist seems to be the doctor who...

    You and Gfresh404 may want to consider eliminating dairy. While I don't know if in the strictest sense I've ever had fat malabsorption since I got pretty doughy before quitting gluten, I always felt very queasy when eating anything greasy or oily at all. I suspected casein intolerance for other reasons, quit dairy, and the queasiness factor has gone away...

    Chronically chapped lips usually result from too little vitamin B2 Open Original Shared Link or B6 Open Original Shared Link. It could also be an overdose of vitamin A Open Original Shared Link but presumably you'd know about if if you were doing that. Usually people with celiac disease suffer from B12 deficiency (as well as magnesium, calcium and others...

    If you're doing anything touristy, say involving the Smithsonian, you must eat at the Mitsitam Caf

    As you've probably seen already, there's almost an infinite variety of symptoms associated with celiac disease. I haven't run across yours, but I'm just another yoyo on the Internet; my knowledge is limited. In case you haven't seen it, here's the Mayo Clinic's take on high ferritin levels: Open Original Shared Link and hemochromatosis: Open Original Shared...

    Just about anything from Pamela's Products is outstanding. Before giving up dairy, I loved the Dark Chocolate Chocolate Chunk cookies. Also their brownie mix is superlative. The very rare gluten-free products that you can share with non-celiacs and actually make them jealous.

    Check out this thread from a year or two ago (literally; people were still giving tips a year and a half later!): https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/lofivers...php/t29457.html

    Not to be cynical, but the simplest thing is to stop at every Outback Steakhouse you see. Nearly every large chain (practically all except for Red Lobster) has a gluten free menu, but these are frequently unreliable. Outback is the only one that seems to be consistently reliable. (I didn't check elsewhere on your route, but there are two in Buffalo.) The...

    There are two possible problems from milk, lactose and casein. If your problem is with lactose intolerance, just buy Lactaid pills (or store-brand equivalent). There isn't any such thing as lactose-free milk; they just add lactase (which is what's in Lactaid). If your problem is casein intolerance (or sensitivity or allergy), then you're going to have...

    Kroger, being the cutting edge 21st century guys they are, provides a mailing address: To contact Kroger Manufacturing please write us at: The Kroger Co. Manufacturing Division 1014 Vine St. Cincinnati, OH 45202 (found here: Open Original Shared Link You might want to check the packages to see whether they say "Manufactured...

    No no, feel free to be argumentative; I don't mind being corrected. I'll edit my response to refer SlamDuncan down to this one.

    You might also want to get a sleep mask. I completely forgot that I got my sleep mask at the same time that I cut out caffeine. It might well be that the former was more important than the latter. I got my most recent one at CVS; it has a much sturdier strap than the ones they sell at other drugstores. (Earplugs might also help, though I've never tried those...

    Well, if it's literally stomach trouble then it probably wouldn't be gluten, as the problem is in the small intestine. If you feel a lot of gurgling as if the food is moving really fast through the digestive tract, that could be gluten intolerance or celiac disease. You can either get tested or go gluten free and see if it helps. Why the symptoms vary is...

    Let's start the Gluten Free Tastes Like Soil Hall of Shame. Enjoy Life's No Oatmeal Oatmeal Cookies are definitely on there, too. All Glutino's energy bars-- oh my badness. What else? Everybody play!
  21. The Fluffy Assassin
    I certainly hope not. Anyway, I never had the problem before, including making an identical pizza five days earlier. The only difference is that I cooked it longer, so if there's anything nasty in there that only comes out if the ingredient is cooked (or in the case of the pepperoni, overcooked), that would be it. Otherwise, nothing weird at all. The last...

    As I've mentioned, I'm giving up dairy, so I made my last pizza last night. Of course, it being the last one, I finally got it right. (Anybody needing tips for making pizza with Chebe bread, I'm the boy to ask.) But I spent the evening more keyed up than I've been since quitting gluten almost two years ago. All the well-known stuff: e.g., I didn't get a joke...

    Because you have kids, it's more important than it is for some of us for you to get a diagnosis if you can. This is because there is a 1 in 10 (some say 1 in 7) chance that an immediate family member of a celiac person is also celiac. Meaning there's a significant chance that at least one of your kids has it as well (that is, if you have it). IF you have...

    Could easily be celiac disease, and you could easily have had it all your life without knowing it. As you'll see from my sig line, I had no idea until I was 40 that I had any intolerances, and celiac didn't come onto my mental horizon until age 45. So you're way ahead of me. Get tested, or if you can't find a doctor who will listen to you (which sometimes...
  25. The Fluffy Assassin
    Yes, it sounds like you may well have celiac disease, and you too, cinabunny. Cinabunny, I still have the sour taste in my mouth (entire digestive tract in my case) two years after giving up gluten and thus am giving up dairy in a day or so. Many, many celiacs, maybe half, are also casein (i.e., dairy) intolerant as well. Just something to think about. ...
