    As corny as it sounds, I really do believe that everything happens for a reason. Maybe you are meant to move on to something else, and this is life's way of letting you know. There may be great things in store for you out there, somewhere other than where you are now. Truly, what does your heart tell you? If you really listen to yourself, you'll make...

    Jackay, Which three foods did you eat at first?
  3. Lynayah
    Yes! Wow, what a great question. It can be frustrating because when I find something that really tastes good to me, I get so excited . . . and then after a day or two, I don't want it any more. Back BGF (before gluten-free) days, it was easy to eat the same things over and over again, without getting tired of them -- the list of things I could eat...

    My gluten challenge made me so sick, I was beyond relieved when the time came to give up gluten, but . . . I DREAM ABOUT EATING GLUTEN ALL THE TIME! I'll be at a party and take a bite or two of crackers, cake or a cookie before remembering I shouldn't eat it. Then I freak out. Then I wake up. Fun.

    I had someone call me and tell me that she couldn't lose weight until her gliadin went back to normal. True? False? I hope to learn more about this. Anyone?

    Kayo -- what do you like about this product? I'm thinking of trying it. Thanks.

    In addition to the answers you'll get here, you might also want to read this thread: You're not crazy or making too big of a deal out of how you feel. You're right to care about feeling as comfortable as you can.

    Hi, Everyone: I've been struggling with losing weight. I have also been struggling to get my gliadin level back to normal. I'm wondering: Has anyone here found that once their gliadin level returned to normal, their body weight returned to normal as well? Are there any articles about it? Thank you for any information on this!

    Wolicki, thank you so very VERY much for posting this. People think I'm crazy when I tell them I can't lose weight by cutting calories and increasing exercise. They tell me that as long as I am burning more calories than I eat, I'll lose, and that I must be in denial if I'm not losing. I KNOW HOW TO LOSE WEIGHT, but my body seems to have forgotten...

    I've been using Digest Gold with Probiotics. I'm very sensitive to gluten and I've had no issues with it. I'm still learning about probiotics, so I'll be interested in seeing what others here have to say. Also, for anyone who hasn't seen it, there is an article here about the latest research in probiotics: https://www.celiac.com/articles/22105/1/Major...

    Thanks, Bea.

    Has anyone here tried Garden of Life Raw Protein? It is labeled gluten-free, soy-free. It doesn't appear to be certified, but I'm wondering if it might be an option. Ingredients: amaranth sprout, organic quinoa sprout, organic millet sprout, organic buckwheat sprout, organic garbanzo bean sprout, organic kidney bean sprout, organic lentil sprout...

    It's been hard for me -- I recently threw away TONS of "gluten-free" protein powder because it gave me a horrible reaction. However, I am wondering if it was the whey, too. So I'm also wondering if a rice protein powder might be better -- perhaps best to stay away from soy, whey. Not sure about hemp; I don't know much about it. Anyone? With any processed...

    Just wondering if anyone else has a favorite protein powder that is certified gluten-free.

    Hi, Bea! For ease of reference: Would you mind indulging an attention-challenged, brain-fogged "old lady" and list every supplement you speak of here, with the brand name next to it? ABC Multi - Funforyou Labs DEF Calcium - Horsepills, Inc. Oh, that would be so very much appreciated. Please feel free to add any additional supplements you use...

    Bea, thank you!

    Yes, BIG TIME. Feet, hips, hands and lower back are particularly intense.

    Is Gluten-Intolerance also considered an auto immune disorder (in addition to Celiac disease)? I ask because it is referenced as such in this article: Open Original Shared Link Quote: "With autoimmune disorders, which include gluten intolerance and type 1 diabetes (but not allergies), the body attacks itself rather than the invasive substance, causing...

    Yes, so true chocolatequeen. For me, it has been a MAJOR process of elimination (no pun intended! Ha!). Every week, I make more changes. Recently, it was going to a grain-free dog food. Anyway, every little bit helps, thank goodness . . . and every step in the right direction is a step in the right direction.

    I am non-celiac gluten intolerant. I started feeling better right away, but not all the way. I go to the University of Chicago Celiac Center, and they explained to me that it can take many, many months for my gliadin level to come down, especially at my age (56). It is normal for some people to take a year or two to heal. My gliadin level remains...

    PS: If you decide to go for more tests, DO NOT STOP EATING GLUTEN just yet. You need to have it fully in your system before the tests can be run. If you've already stopped eating gluten, you'll need to do a "gluten challenge" for a number of weeks before you can be tested.

    You might want to have your blood checked for IgA and IgG, by a qualified physician who understands gluten-intolerance. Enterolab might not be the best way to test. I had blood tests done at University of Chicago Celiac Center. My IgA was extremely high, my DQ8, DQ2 and biopsy normal. No upper-villi celiac, but I was still very, very sick, and I had...

    Right now, I am extremely sensitive to refined "gluten-free" foods. I stay away from most of them, but occasionally, I give in. I find I do best with GIG certified gluten-free foods. For those who are are hyper-sensitive (or for those who are not hyper-sensitive but fear that cc may be an issue with healing), visit the Gluten-Intolerance Group (GIG)...

    Gemini: Thank you for this post! I have the previous version of Green's book. Should I order an update -- how extensive are the additions to the latest version?

    Debbie Downer here, and I don't want to be: Soap, etc. and gluten -- watch for papercuts, other cuts, etc. If there is an opening in the skin, the gluten will get in. Also, if shampoo or conditioner gets in your mouth while rinsing. David in Seattle: Your last post made me laugh so much! Then I wanted to cry because I COMPLETELY understand how you...
