    "Numerous cases of DCM have been reported in smaller dogs, whose primary source of nutrition was food containing peas, lentils, other legume seeds or potatoes as main ingredients." In commercial kibble you need some filler, so if not grains, something even worse goes in the mix. Rule of thumb in my pack - the amount of grains fed is the exact amount that...

    "Gluten is absolutely necessary for most people to survive - that is why it is called vital wheat gluten" OMG! (I miss the smiley rolling on its back laughing here)

    Hi, here's a list of what was causing my symptoms. migrains, brain fog - rice alergy, wheat/rye alergy - including inhaled wheat around bakeries, pizza places, I don't need to eat my allergens to get sick. Even someone else warming up rice gave me two days of bad migrain. brain fog, orthostatic hypotension - yeast overgrowth and glutenning fatigue - anything...

    I sometimes get very bad stomach cramps and D after drinking coffee or black tea. It happens about one out of 10 times and mostly when I don't put milk, other than that I haven't the slightest clue why I get this reaction. It's not my gluten symptoms so no cc involved.

    And part of this urban legend is that this high level of processing removes all the gluten (or other allergen). Sensitive individuals DO react even to these highly processed ingredients. On the other side, I never had problems with caramel coloring or glucose syrup here in America. Can't say the same about Europe.

    I had the same problem before going gluten-free and twice after bad glutenning - each time it took me about 3 months to get better.

    That includes gluten in his soap and other body care products. (

    Higher casein content, additives/colorants, iodized salt?

    I've read that soy intolerance can cause similar biopsy results as mild celiac - March 1a, but not the full celiac damage (flattened villi, etc.). I know your tests showed no deficiencies, but quite often that is just a trick of the body taking vitamins and minerals from tissues to keep the blood levels where it need them to be. This way you get deficiency...

    not molecules as big as gluten, but the small ones (hormones, parabenes...) you DO absorb.

    ARCHIVED How Do You Do It?

    Pac replied to GFreeMO's topic in Super Sensitive People

    If it was the smell itself, at least you'd have a clue which place to avoid. Soo often I only know it's time to run when I'm already dizzy with blurred vision and itchy all over...

    I don't use mixes, but otherwise I have the same experience - cakes and cookies are the easiest thing to make gluten-free without people noticing any difference... I use bean flour if I want to make flour cake. Most often I skip the flour and use only "the good stuff" as my family calls it - nuts, coconut, chocolate, pinapple, poppy seed, cocoa.

    I'm not concerned about gluten getting through the skin into the poor fishes flesh, that is quite impossible. I meant gluten caught up in the fish's gills and jaws while breathing/eating. The reason is I often get sick from soups I make. At first I was suspicious of everything else, but it all seems like the culprits are heads/necks and other GI track parts...

    What about parts of the animal that do get in direct contant with gluten? Or farm-raised fish that pretty much swim in gluten soup all their life? Does anybody here get unexplained reactions to those?
  15. Pac
    If you can get the scope (+biopsy) done soon, then I would do it, even on gluten-free diet. Negative results don't mean you cannot continue eating gluten-free. Intestine healing might take up to two years so after a month gluten-free you still have some chance, especially if your doctor seems to be aware that you might get false negative results due to being...

    "You can eat THAT, it's all natural, no chemicals in it." "It's CHEESE cracker, you can surely eat those. I bought them for you." Just recently my sweet mother-in-law, who just doesn't get the diet at all, brought back a bag of flour tortillas from the store asking: "You can eat those, no? It's just tortillas." "But that is so DANGEROUS to eat gluten...

    You can try to substitute almond flour with some ground cashew nuts, they are low in salicylates. I am allergic to almonds and always use whatever other nuts I have, never noticed any big difference in flavor or texture. Poppy seeds are also low in sals, although they might give a bit different flavor to the bread.

    All worchester sauces I've ever seen contained gluten, but they were all in Europe (Czech republic) and I never really tried to find a gluten-free one, just checked them out of curiosity while shopping...

    Mayo is relatively easy to make - whisk egg yolk (room temperature) with oil, then add lemon juice, salt, mustard seed powder. Add oil and lemon juice slowly - drop by drop. As for the water issues - I eat lots of iceberg lettuce and I'm pretty sure it has lots of water too (and almost nothing else :-) ). Would eating soups help you?
  20. Pac
    Totally agree with that. Just recently I was reading an interesting article about how statins "help" the body: Open Original Shared Link
  21. Pac
    Well, at least I know which parts of the world I should avoid: Open Original Shared Link I know I could live without eating meat, but I definitively don't want to. Maybe it has something to do with antibodies cross-reactivity? Body will make antibodies against some infection transfered buy the bug and these will cross-react with certain meat proteins...

    Pac replied to GFreeMO's topic in Super Sensitive People

    I have a dehydrator and it is priceless for making snacks - meat, fruit, even veggies to make home-made instant soups. I also dry cooked beans and chickpea to make uncontaminated flour. The only draw-back is that I get fat from eating too much dried meat. You can dry all that in the oven too, but that gets quite expensive. You can pop rice too. Try...

    If a bakery makes rye bread, the flour gets into the air and contaminates pretty much everything and nobody will care too much since all the gluten grains are considered as the same alergen. Beside that, rye, wheat, barley and oat grains look very similar so I suppose wheat flour will be often contaminated? In the field close to our house, every time they...

    For me getting lightheaded was a typical sign of magnesium deficiency. Try high-fat high-protein food - nuts, seeds, dry meat, boiled eggs. Fats are much safer source of energy when your body struggles to keep your blood sugar levels withing normal range.

    I get itchy rash every time I wash "glutened" dishes without gloves. If there was too much gluten, I get sore and unhealing cuts alongside my fingernails that take weeks to get better. I am allergic to gluten besides celiac so my reactions are not always typical for celiac/gluten intolerance. Could be reaction to something else too.
