    Hi, String Bean: Any bookstore, online or otherwise, should either have it or be able to order it for you. It really is worth having, and it might help clear up a lot of your questions. Going from feeling better to worse to better to worse is normal. My gliadin levels are still high desite going gluten-free. It can take a lot of time before the body...

    String bean: If either your IgA or IgG comes back positive, YOU ARE GLUTEN INTOLERANT. This is very important. Just because a person doesn't have Celiac doesn't mean that gluten doesn't make that person very, VERY sick. For more information, please read Healthier without Wheat by Dr. Stephen Wangen. In addition to addressing Celiac Disease and wheat...

    How about making a smoothie with gluten-free almond milk? You'd probably have to make it at home and put it in a Thermos . . . OR, how about taking goat's milk dry milk powder with you? Are you able to handle goat's milk? Meyenberg makes a gluten-free goat milk powder. It has 8 grams of protein per reconstituted cup.

    Good point, tarnalberry. I thought that, too . . . but I kept experimenting, and I am happy to post that I am fine with organic, non-GMO corn. I am also fine with organic, non-GMO polenta, cornmeal, etc. I also do well with Corn Thins (they are also organic, non-GMO). So, maybe in addition to gluten, I also have a sensitivity to genetically modified...

    TZU: Thank you for this post. I'm wondering how your order went -- were you happy with the beans? I'm probably ordering some this week.

    My hunger level went up when I did the gluten challenge, too. AND my hunger level was out of control many, many years back when I was overweight and eating A LOT of heavily processed gluten foods, every day. For me, my best years, hunger-wise, were when I was losing weight and after I lost weight. During that time, I ate mostly fruit, vegetables, meat...

    Do they still say it on the bag? I read that the statement no longer appears. "Gluten-free" still appear on the tortilla chips at COSTCO -- they are made by Mission. That, I know, because I just bought some. Unfortunately, I reacted to them. I'm okay with corn products only if they are not procesed in a plant that also processes wheat...

    Patti: Is headache your only symptom from Splenda, or do you have lower GI symptoms as well? Thanks for any info!

    Bravo! GREAT research.

    Have you seen the documentary Food, Inc.?

    It is also possible that your headaches may not be gluten-related. I hope your doctor gives you the attention you deserve! However, if it is a reaction to gluten: Think carefully about what you do in the morning before the headache begins. Have you checked your toothpaste? I'm glad to see you changed lotion. For me, I was using hand lotion that...

    PS: Apparently, some folks have issues with canola oil. There is a thread about it here, if you are interested: https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/index.php?showtopic=61018

    I know it is true because my hunger levels definitely went up -- very frustrating. It also doesn't make sense -- you'd think that once you finally start absorbing nutrients, your body would get satisfied more easily and crave LESS food, not more! Where's the justice?

    Joy Joy: I have not tried them, but members of my Gluten-Intolerance group say that French Meadow Bakery has the best gluten free tortillas around. Their gluten-free tortilla is This product is casein-Free, Gluten-Free, Gluten-Free, Lactose Free, Peanut Free. If you Google French Meadow Bakery, you'll find the link to their webpage. I've had their...

    Thank you for posting this interesting article. I found it fascinating. I also found it very disturbing. Did anyone else? I'm not sure more genetically modified food is what the world, and especially the gluten-free community, needs right now.

    To replace one egg: 1 tablespoon ground flaxseeds 3 tablespoons water (or other liquid) I've had good luck with the Ener-G Egg Replacer as well. For baking, frying: Canola oil is also good. Canola is the one to use if you do not want your oil to smoke too quickly. For saute: The Julia Child combo of one part butter to two parts olive oil is...

    Talk to a bar manager -- let he/she know you will get very sick if you have even the smallest bit of gluten . . . and ask what they recommend. For me: Wine, basic martini, rum and Diet Coke -- these always work.

    For us, we use a dishwasher that has a sanitizing cycle. Even with that, we use a Brillo pad for any ceramic or stainless steel cookware for anything that has had anything gluten in it -- before it goes into the dishwasher.

    University of Chicago Celiac Center has a hotline, although it may be more for health related questions than for food. Still, it is a good resource. They are very friendly there. It may take a day or so to get a return call. Here is what they have posted on their site: "The University of Chicago Celiac Disease Center's Information Hotline is the...

    This is great! My husband really got a kick out of it, because he knows how it feels to try to follow those rules (but in his head, not on paper). Thank you for sharing this! Question: What method do you/he use to sanitize? Thanks -- happy Valentines Day!

    Here in the midwest, many of Wal-Mart's frozen and canned veggies used to read "gluten-free." Then it changed. I remember one week buying frozen vegetables that said gluten-free, and then a couple weeks later, noticing the labels had changed and the wheat statement had been added. Probably in order to keep up with having the lowest prices, they change...

    I am very sensitive, and I use it without issue. Just used some last night!

    Gluten is everywhere, and it takes some time to get to the other side of it. You are not alone. When I get glutened, my pain is much the same as yours -- horrible. I'm still in the processes, trying to figure it all out. Things as simple as using a face cream that has gluten without knowing it, and then touching something with your fingers...

    Stacy, You ROCK! You must be an HR professional -- if not, you should be. GREAT info. I am enjoying reading your posts. Keep up the good work. Best, Lyn

    Clothes an issue -- that is interesting! Did he work in a bakery or restaurant?
