  1. Ooops.......I threw them out. It read as straight spices like basil, oregano, marjarom, and ?? Don't remember then last ones. I'll never do it again. What do you use? What brand, what spices? Ann
  2. I'm learning a lot too. If it weren't for these forum discussions, I for one, would not know the difference between being glutened, allergic reactions, healing reactions, chemical reactions and all sorts of sensitivities, intolerences and impaired digestion. Although it has been off-the-track of celiac, it's actually part of the experience for many,...
  3. I'm going through the same thing. I'm two months in and have only had a couple of days that I didn't get sick. Thanks to the help of advanced members here, I wouldn't have known what to do or what was going on. I didn't get the great feeling either when I removed the gluten, but instead all these food allergies/sensititives and intolerences began to...
  4. What I found really strange is the fact that I peeled the ones that could be peeled and still reacted. That can only be that whatever it is, can go deeper than the surface. Maybe when I'm further along and healed more I will be able to handle smaller amounts of problem ingredients, but I can't now. Thank you for the thread!! and your comment. Ann
  5. I have done my own experimenting with the organic vs. non-organic for the last 3 days and found that the exact vegtable, same pan, same cleaning method with the only difference is whether or not they were organic or not, has produced very different responses: the non-organics ended up giving me reactions lasting from 6 to 14 hours, while the organics had...
  6. Thank you everyone! It was actually McCormick's Italian Blend that I used last night that seemed to gluten me. I have many food sensitivities and allergies, so I can't say that it was gluten. I'm still a newby and still learning every day. Nothing like the experiences of others to help us all along. I appreciate you all so much!! Have a wonderful day...
  7. In my case, I had to kiss a lot of frogs before I found the prince. I use an MD and ND, both are older and wiser having experienced more than med school. It doesn't matter what there is in life to learn; there is nothing like experiencing it and this means doctors too. My thanks actually goes to the people here who have been there and done that. They...
  8. It seems that if you are a woman, it's harder to be heard. If you're an uninsured woman, it's even harder. If you are alone........bring someone with you
  9. I recently bought several basic spices that were suppose to be gluten free but I've gotten sick each time I've tried to use any of them. They're on the safe foods lists in all my books and internet lists though? Any suggestions?

    ARCHIVED Sick

    I've only been gluten-free for the same length of time, and I have found that I actually got sicker. There have been numerous food allergies and other aliments that have shown themselves since then. It's hard to say if you accidentially got into gluten or if something else is showing up. There are some real pros that have been kind enough to help me through...
  11. Open Original Shared Link This is probably the most reliable source for why we are still exposed to DDT and the fact that it is used. There are phone numbers and publications listed as well. It's late and I didn't read it all, but enough. Besides, this isn't really related to celiac but can be used as a word of caution for some of us who are extremely...
  12. It is severly restricted in many countries, but still used. That's what I was told and I did research a little and saw that it is used. It is used in tropical countries.
  13. Thank you so much!! I was told by another posted to add coconut milk. I was so fat-hungry and didn't know it. I am trying to learn to use it correctly, but I would appreciate any suggestions. I drank it straight out of the can!! I don't usually do stuff like that, but like I said, I was so hungry for fat. Recipes anyone? I had a couple of bad days...
  14. My daughter ate some black cherries we got from Cost.. and she ended up in the ER. I was told by Cost.. that they import some of their produce and this batch was from ?? Sorry, I don't remember. Anywho, her face and throat swelled so much that her eyes were only a slit and she couldn't breathe. The cherries were rinsed but not throughly washed as I recall...
  15. Thank you so much for all these great ideas!! I went and checked out your blog and website. If anyone has not looked, it's well worth the time. I have done a toothpaste, but it's not very fancy or attractive. I first brush with baking soda, then floss and finally......hydrogen peroxide. Cleans and kills all the bacteria. I am having lots of dental...
  16. What great ideas you have! Is there a way to print this off without repeats? Is there a single thread? I'm trying to compile these and put them into a 3 ring binder. I have emptied all the product bottles I can use and made pretty new labels for them. I put wide tape over the top where they won't get ruined. I love my new stuff!! I have so much...
  17. I look forward to the day when I'm well enough and smart enough to help others the way you and others have helped me. Thank you so much. Ann
  18. Thank you so much for this information. I have driven myself crazy using myself as a test subject. Do you know if organic produce has wax on it too? And, do you know of any way to remove it ? Even when I'm cooking it the steam makes me dizzy and my heart starts pounding. I have to leave the kitchen entirely. So, I'm glad you came and please don't go...
  19. Thank you for taking the time to list all these possibilities. I'm down to the wire with it either being the produce or the stainless steel pans, but who knows? I have so many allergies, it could be anything at this point. I have also learned that malnutrition is probably an issue. Someone posted a reply and pointed that out to me. I'm taking everyone...
  20. This has been a major problem for me too. It's been mysterious because their suppose to be safe, but I react so strongly. I've followed members advice and gone through the checklist of other potential problems with contamination, but it always comes back to the produce. I checked the origin of some of these and found out that they are imported from New...
  21. What a great idea!! You and I have the same nose I think. You're right; it is a blessing and a curse. I can not wait to try the vanilla beans in vodka. I have very dry skin. Is the jojoba good for that too? My daughter has celiac too and I would like to make her something for her oily skin, blemishes and rashes. Would you use jojoba in combination...
  22. Have you ever tried aloe vera gel and coconut oil together? I was wanting to give this a try to thin down the coconut oil a bit. I would be interested in other ingredients that would help the texture but would still have a great shelf life. I just made a small batch of the olive oil/sugar and I loved it. Do you refrigerate this? Another fabulous idea...
  23. Thank you. I have had problems with eating, period and chose to eat one thing at a time because I didn't get so sick. I will try combining but very tiny portions and see if that helps at all. I appreciate the help.
  24. Thank you!! I just went in and looked at the site. Looks great!!
