  1. I'm sorry it's spreading, a swollen throat is the worst! As far as time is concerned, I heard that with food allergies (I'm not sure about other allergies) there sometimes isn't a reaction for 24-48 hours! I know my very first breakout from gluten didn't come until like a day and half after I ate several slices of homemade bread.
  2. One of my main symptoms is a itchy rash similar to what you described. I get itchy all over the place, even my scalp and then break out in to red welts on my legs. Throughout the rest of my body I break out in patches that looks like hives. At first, before I knew this was gluten related, I scratched them so bad they did look like chicken pox. Are they painful...
  3. Yup. All that happened to me after knee surgery except I was a mess mentally as well and couldn't sleep. This could have been to due the fact that I was so itchy. I scratched so hard I made myself bleed. The hives were on the bottom of my feet and some days I couldn't walk (not good for some one had physical therapy to do on a daily basis for knee surgery...
  4. I haven't seen one but maybe I should. I still suffer from a lot of the stomach problems associated with celiac which is why I figured I had it but they become secondary to the other stuff I mentioned. Now I wonder if it's possible to be allergic and have celiac too? Thanks for the your help though. It all started after the meds from surgery! Anesthesia...
  5. Yes and my gluten-free experience has made me an even more spiritual person than before going Gluten-Free! Instead of thinking why would He do this to me, I thought there has to be a reason this happened to me. Sometimes bad things have to happen in order for good things to happen = Karma Now that being gluten-free has given me a clear head, I can...
  6. drink peppermint tea. or better yet buy a peppermint plant for your herb garden and just chew on it or dry it to make your own tea. it will cure the burping and it makes me feel better knowing there is not chance of gluten in it
  7. I felt the same way as you about relationships. Only had one boyfriend my whole life, and it was a silly high school thing that lasted for a month and a half. I have just been best friends with boys my whole life. Then I tore my ACL and had to have knee surgery. downward spiral, see my signature. I went Gluten-Free. A year later I feel like normal...
  8. hah! i just told my mom today that i realized i havent bitten my nails in a year. i bit them for 21 years before going Gluten-Free. i thought it was just because my anxiety went away but i guess the fact that i absorb all my nutrients now makes sense too. prob a combo of both, for me at least. i notice i dont feel the need to chew gum anymore, which...
  9. that's how i feel when i get glutened. most people spend it in the bathroom, i spend mine crying and paranoid. usually my boyfriend and my mom get the worst of my emotional episodes but that is because i did some research and showed some of the testimonies of people on these very message boards who had the same mental symptoms as me before going gluten-free...
  10. not sure why it says lame advertisement. i eat s-a-l-b-a in my smoothies because it is good for digestion for me.
  11. I know most celiacs feel it in their stomach when they are glutened. Believe me, I do too. But the worst part of an accidental glutening is itchiness. I also break out in a huge rash on my inner thigh (all over my body too, my skin becomes super super sensitive but I get these red welts on my thighs that are so ugly!) Also, my throat swells up within a...
  12. Have you tried going casein-free too? Both gluten and casein give me hot flashes (I'm 22) and certain types of gluten makes my joints so sore that it feels like what most people describe as fibromyalgia (which is what my grandma suffers from and i have read that fibromyalgia is a long-term effect of celiac disease). Both also trigger UTIs, which is a candida...
  13. I know exactly what you are talking about. When I eat gluten or dairy or aspertame, one of the side effects are painful bumps along my jawline. It looks like a pimple, but it's not. I think it's just my body releasing the toxins of what I ate. My aunt gets them too. It looks and feels awful and it's definitely a side effect of gluten for me. I bet people...
  14. i don't do fast food but i highly recommend pizza fusion if there is one in your area. Open Original Shared Link they have Gluten-Free pizza, cooked in its own Gluten-Free kitchen on special Gluten-Free ovens. they are very conscientious. they also have Gluten-Free beer! and soy cheese too which is awesome because dairy makes me sick as well. their...
  15. Thanks for your e-mail about COTTONELLE FRESH
