    Hi there, 2 years ago my PCP diagnosed me with Celiac due to my blood test results being 'equivical' and having a good response to going off gluten. At the time I was not 100% gluten free, but was on a low carb, thus lower gluten diet. I couldn't help but wonder at the time if my tests would have been a definitive positive if I had been consuming more...

    I just wanted to let you all know something that I am really happy about- My Naturopath has me taking 3 capsules of Oregano 2x a day to treat Candidia. It is working wonderfully for me. She said to maintain my low carb diet with lots of veggies and some fruit during this treatment. She said it's important to have enough sugars/carbs to keep the Candidia...

    So soy is definately a problem for me, I cut it out for a short amount of time, or at least significantly reduced my intake. Yesterday I took a bite of a soy protein bar, and right away my throat and nose started itching and I started to sneeze. This morning I put some in my tea, and I had the same response! It cleared up after a little while. So that would...

    ravenwoodglass- thanks for your reply. I believe that everything in my diet has been gluten free (save my cc's with what I believe were chocoate chips and mrs butterworths sf syrup) The nuts and tea are gluten free. The stevia definately was gluten free. txplowgirl- definately cutting out the nuts! OY. So sad though, I love them. I may do an elimination...

    Could using large amounts of stevia be my issue?

    I don't have any teflon pans...changed my makeup, don't share cutting boards. Really have just been eating eggs cooked in a stainless steel pan, and costco rotisserie chicken...I got cc'd with milk in a latte last week, and ate choc chips that threw me for a loop, and am only now starting to use the restroom slightly normally now. After eating the nuts my...

    I have been gluten free (save cc incidents) for a good 6+ weeks now. I started to get way better, and then went downhill again. I have an appt with a GI on Monday to really get into all of this. I went gluten free after positive Anti-Gliadin tests (both IGA and IGG). My other tests on the celiac panel were negative tho. I have cut out milk from my diet...

    I ate oatmeal cookies made with gluten free baking mix and Bobs Certified gluten-free Oatmeal. That night I also that Bobs gluten-free Cornbread, and the next day Bobs gluten-free Brownie mix. I am wondering if it was the oatmeal and then the gluten-free mix were just carbs that 'sat' on top of it all? When I get glutened I get C and bloating and gas....Nothing...

    Went to the Dr for bloating, alternating constipation/D issues. She ran a Celiac Panel of these tests, and here is exactly what the results look like. On the Gliadin tests is my result the number next to the word "Index"? (1.11 and 1.19) The [H] meaning "High"?? Just feeling frustrated overall. My body was doing great for 1.5 weeks, then I ate something...

    They were certified, but Bobs red mill. I'm wondering if its oats and corn? Does diet soda have corn by products in it?
  13. arkoflove
    Wow, thanks for your reply! I tried to message you but it wouldn't work. How long did it take you to come down from your symptoms? Any advice for what to use to relieve constipation? It is so frustrating to gain weight overnight like that...

    Hubby and I are going to stay in downtown Bellevue in a little while for our anniversary. I'm feeling kindof down AND paranoid about eating out during our stay. So far my eating out experiences have been dissapointing (getting glutened) since my diagnosis. Its dissapointing since we always have loved to eat out together. The last thing I want is to get glutened...

    Well, I've posted about chocolate chips on here and about Mexican food. =) Here I am with yet another question... I got glutened (I'm assuming, unless I have another food intolerance to ferret out, working on that too...) with Mexican food about a week and a half after going off gluten. I recovered in about 2.5-3 days. This weekend I was either glutened...

    Thanks for your reply! I actually was looking at the almond flour because of Elana's cookbook and blog. So you would trust the Lucy's Kitchen flour? I was looking at the Honeyville, seems like a good price. But the last thing I want to do is spend $$ on something cc'd. Is is super high in calories when you bake with it?
  17. arkoflove
    The Cornmeal was a gluten-free bob's mix...I'll have to google gluten-free chocolate chips. Thanks! Don't they have to list all ingredients tho?
  18. arkoflove
    I got a cookbook from the library on baking gluten-free with almond flour. The author only seems to add one other flour occasionally to her baked goods. It seems so much simpler, and sounds like a nice idea. It also lowers the GI factor of the foods, causing less of a blood sugar issue. I have found out that not only am I Celiac, but I have reactive hypoglycemia...

    I'm still trying to figure out if I got cc glutened this weekend, or if I have another food intolerance. You may have seen my post on bloating returning after eating gluten-free carbs... One thing I had on each of the days with new foods- chocolate chips. Could those have been the culprit? If not, I'm looking at a possible issue with cornmeal, or cc...

    So should I be concerned about the individual Bob's Red Mill gluten-free flours I purchased? Or just their mixes. I haven't opened the flours yet, so I could return them. I did open an Arrowhead Mill gluten-free cornmeal, but all my Bobs are sealed. Did you have a strong reaction with Bobs?
  21. arkoflove
    All the dishes I used were glass, and have been washed pretty well. I cleaned up the kitchen a bit ago, before I baked with the bob's mixes. I didn't use a mixer, but I am REALLY glad you mentioned that, because I definately need to get a new one and hadn't thought of that yet. Is it common to notice CC issues with Bobs Red Mill products? I guess...

    Things were going great for me, but since I have started including more carbs in my diet, I am struggling with the massive bloating and some tummy issues again. I am so frustrated. I don't feel "glutened" with the fatigue and mental fog that I get with gluten, but I am severly bloated and constipated. Could I possibly have an issue with corn? I have...

    Oh my goodness! Thank you so much for all your replies. Things were going great for me, but since I have started including more carbs in my diet, I am struggling with the massive bloating and some tummy issues again. I am so frustrated. When I am feeling better I'm going to go out for some rice and beans (lol) and really talk to the people at my local...

    I ate Mexican last night, and got glutened. I feel so frustrated and dissapointed. We even talked to the staff to inquire about wheat ingredients. I was told that there was wheat in the shredded chicken, so I switched to ground beef. I got a tortilla salad minus the tortilla, so lettuce, refried beans, rice, ground beef...I did eat chips there, not sure if...

    Curious if any of you know for sure? Thanks!
