  1. LOL! That said, from your photo, you are indeed very attractive, and you should feel WONDERFUL about the the way you look and feel. Good for you!
  2. Yes, so many of us ere are also sensitive to corn. Good point.
  3. As for pressure-adhesive USPC stamps -- they are wonderful, but if my fingers touch the sticky side, is there a risk of cc if I touch something else and then put it in my mouth? In other words, is there a chance of ANY gluten in there -- envelopes with corn starch, adhesive stamps, Scotch Tape (or any brand) . . . whatever. And what about the stickies...
  4. Of course, the anal side of me wonders if the corn starch used is absolutely gluten-free. Does anyone know?
  5. You, too? Thank you! Have you read anything about teeth improving? I'm so glad I'm not alone!
  6. Ease. I get both neurological as well as stomach reactions. I get numbness like crazy -- hands in particular, but also legs if it is really bad and now, shoulders and back of neck. I also get stabbing pains in my hips and kidney area along with the usual bloating, body aches, etc. Sometimes the pain is constant; other times it comes in waves...
  7. Wow -- I've read everywhere that envelopes are problematic. That's news to me. Thank you for posting your reply! I am now about 6 months into being diagnosed. There is so much to learn!
  8. PS: This is probably going to sound crazy, but since going gluten-free, my teeth look better. I swear. I was always told I had discolored teeth due to being a "Tetracycline baby." Well, my teeth still aren't pearly perfect, but they do look better. Has anyone else heard of this happening?
  9. Oh my gosh, I can so relate to all of this! I, too, feel like a new person, even though I'm still struggling with getting things normalized, I'm feeling SO MUCH BETTER than I have in many years . . . maybe even in my life. The brain fog lifting was the most dramatic thing that ever happened to me. It had gotten to where I couldn't retain information...
  10. Something that happened today: As I was opening a package of gluten-free Canadian bacon, I had to peel off tons of sticky tape, not to mention the glue that held the top of the package together -- is it gluten-free? Had I not been careful, I could have easily cc'd the meat if it is not. And what about the sticky peel-off-thingy that's on the aseptic...
  11. Me, too. We had a few different digestive enzymes in the house -- all of them appeared to be gluten-free, but when I called the various companies and spoke with them, they were not gluten-free. I have used Digest Gold and GlutenEase with no problem. My jury is still out as to whether or not GlutenEase helps, but I think it very well may. At least it...
  12. Something just hit me . . . are the sticky labels on fresh fruit gluten free? I always wash my fruit, but perhaps I should be cutting off the area that has the sticker? Anyone know?
  13. I found this article . . . is this the enzyme you are talking about? Open Original Shared Link
  14. What a great attitude. As they say, "Attitude is everything." It is going to be great to have you as part of the forum. Welcome.
  15. Thank you! I'm working so hard to get my gliadin level down.
  16. If a person needs to lower their gliadin level, do they need to watch foods other than gluten? For example, if a person is allergic to eggs, soy, dairy, nuts - do these cause gliadin to elevate as well?
  17. Hi, Everyone: Yipes, help needed please! I'm leaving on Sunday for a two-night business trip to New Orleans, French Quarter. I've never been to New Orleans prior to now, and I need some quick suggestions for WONDERFUL, gluten-free food. Because I am super-sensitive, I am particularly interesting in dining at restaurants where they really get it...
  18. If you Google "nightshade vegetables" you'll find there is a lot of information out there. Nightshades include potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and more. Some folks feel that not eating them may help reduce inflammation. The gathering you attended: Often, cross-contamination is the issue when it comes to getting glutened. Just because a recipe is gluten...
  19. I'm used to the security code thing. This was a page of info after I put in my credit card number -- never had that happen before now.
  20. If a company lists a product at gluten-free, that doesn't mean it isn't processed in a plant that also processes wheat. If soy isn't listed as an ingredient, that doesn't mean that the plant doesn't also process soy. Everyone out there: Please correct me if I am wrong. Thank you!
  21. PS: My reaction is much the same as yours: same but more mild. It is interesting.
  22. Thank you for your reply. I am beginning to believe that non-GMO makes a big difference with some of us us gluten-intolerant folks. I have nothing to base it on other than gut (pun intended) instinct. I hope others will post here, too. Thanks again.
  23. I wasn't at all happy with the additional information this company asks you to provide at the end of the order -- weird, specific credit card info. I left the site because I was unsure. I was very sorry to do this because I wanted to take advantage of the 2 for 1 Monday offer, but frankly, it really creeped me out. Please convince me I am wrong. Thanks...
  24. Thank you so much! Off to take a look . .
  25. Are you able to tolerate non-GMO corn? Have you tried?
