    I bought some San J at Whole Foods. It was $8 My assistant is Vietnamese. She brought me a bottle of gluten free Tamari yesterday that she bought at the Asian market. It's a big bottle. It was $2

    I've heard several people hear praising Against the Grain. Unfortunately, they seem to only be available on the East Coast If anyone hears about it when they start up west of the Mississippi, please holler!

    Do you by chance get heartburn? The reason I ask is that I ended up with LOW stomach acid, thinking it was too much. One of the side effects, for me, of low stomach acid was soft unformed stools. Once I was diligent about taking HCL with every meal and enzymes after, bms are totally normal.

    I had the same problem with nightshades. That intolerance took the longest to go away. Giving up tomoatoes was WAY worse than giving up gluten. AFter about 6 months nightshades were once again ok. My only lingering issue is broccoli. I have decided that I just don't like it enough to eat it again and not feel well. I don't care if it's good for you

    I have yet to find a decent hot dog bun, but Kinnickinnick HB buns are great. Soft and squishy

    I am pretty sensitive, and I eat Kix with no problems, and so do my boys. My younger barfs at the smell of gluten (nearly) and never has any issues. The berry kix are great!

    Here ya go. I looked it up. These are the tests: Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) Antibody, IgA

    I looked up those two codes on Quest Diagnostics. They are for Hepatitis B and IBS. Looks like he did not order most of the tests in the standard celiac panel. Someone else can chime in with the full panel names, as I always forget one

    I take the Target version of Zyrtec. No issues.

    Steph, It certainly seems you have the symptoms. So here are a couple of things to think about. You may very well be Celiac. The small intestine is over 30 ft long. It could be very easy to miss some of the damage. You may be gluten intolerant, which comes with all the symptoms of Celiac, but tests will always be negative. You've been so uncomfortable...

    Yes, it's very common. The reason is because lactose is processed by the very same villi in the intestines that has been damaged by Celiac. Since you are new to the diet, just stay off dairy for a few months, then challenge it. I would say more than not overcome lactose intolerance once the intestines have a chance to heal.

    Jestgar- I was quoting from her original post, not agreeing. That is why I said she needed a new doc.
  13. Wolicki
    "gluten intolerance should likely go away on its own it a few years", your doctor says..... Wrong! I would suggest finding a new doctor. He's wrong. It does not go away on its own. You could possibly have Celiac. I am not sure if intolerance causes intestinal damage, but it sure does cause many of the exact same symptoms.

    what have you eaten in the last 24 hours?
  15. Wolicki
    I had slightly elevated white cells, and that competing heavy metal band absolute eosonophils. My doc said it was from inflammation, probably that my intestines were still healing. Since they were both just over the limit, there was no need to worry.

    THe best advice I can offer is to try to focus on what you CAN have. For some people, they imagine gluten as rat poison. Really, it wouldn't make you sad knowing you can't have rat posion, right? Eating in the dark.....doesn't sound like anything I would want to try anyway You have control over your health and how you feel. Maybe you can use that...

    I am thinking it's secondary food intolerances. Why not try an elimination diet? The common culprits for Celiacs are dairy, rice, corn, soy, nighshades and eggs.

    Thank you. We have changed meds and dosages several times. He's now taking Ritalin SR 40 mg in the am and a boost of regular Ritalin 10mg in the afternoon to get him through homework. He's actually doing beautifully on this combo. I just still really hate the idea of giving him drugs every day. I have some friends who have kids with Autism. They kept...

    No, no sleep disorder tests. Never even thought to do that. He doesn't have any sleep issues at all.

    Their peanut butter is DISGUSTING Haven't gotten up the nerve to try anything else.

    The time it takes to feel better is different for everyone. I felt immediately better, then took a turn for the worse because of vitamin deficiencies and secondary intolerances. I wrote this a few weeks ago to help newbies get through. HIH

    Amaranth is pretty good too. I tried it for the first time a few months ago. It's as smaller grain than quinoa, and has a very different flavor. Sort of looks like Pastina.

    'Before going gluten free, as I got sicker and sicker, I was on Xanax 4 times a day. That went away within days
  24. Wolicki
    I understand. My list was way, way longer than yours The good news is that most of them will probably go away. After about 7 months, mine all went away. What was I intolerant to: all grains including rice, corn, nightshade veggies, cruciferous vegetables, dairy, nuts, seeds, legumes and something else I am forgetting right now. I would venture a guess...

    Could it be your gallbladder? That sounds like the pains I had when I had a stone.
