    I was diagnosed (very unscientifically) with lactose intolerance at birth. I believe my doctor saw symptoms of celiac disease and put the "lactose intolerance and IBS" stamp on me. The I was diagnosed with celiac about a year ago. For me, after six months, I could handle lactose again, in small amounts. I can put real skim milk in my chai latte every...

    Yeah I am just worried that it is going to be that much harder to eat... especially since after going gluten free fairly successfully (I'm human - I've made my share of mistakes along the way ), Mexican food was a staple in my house, along with polenta. I know I can handle it but I am so intimidated! Does anyone else have BM problems with corn?

    ARCHIVED Corn?

    summerteeth posted a topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut

    So I have searched this forum for information on corn intolerance. And while I have gotten very good information, I still have questions for some of you who have this. I think I am corn intolerant. I keep a food journal and after I eat food with corn in it, I get bloated, sleepy, and I get stomach pain. I know it is not soy or rice. It still may be milk...

    I get a migraine almost immediately after being glutened, but the majority of the symptoms don't start until later. Gut pain, bloating, and brain fog are about 12 hours later, usually. For me it depends on the amount ingested, really. My reactions never seem to be quite the same and that is what made it difficult to diagnose.

    Count me in! I'm always up for experimenting in the kitchen!

    I was wondering if anyone knows if Hempz is gluten free - in particular, the regular lotion, the lip balm, and the styling glue? I emailed the company but have yet to get a response.

    I have had horrid panic attacks for as long as I can remember. I saw a therapist for a very long time and only stopped seeing her after 6 months of being gluten free - that is how long it took me to feel somewhat stable. I still have those panic attacks, but they are much better now than they were pre-diagnosis (one of my longest lasting symptoms of a glutening...

    I've made a similar casserole with the corn tortillas like juliebove... but I did it this why because I can't make regular enchiladas without the tortilla cracking open! Still tastes good though. Can anyone successfully make enchiladas without split tortillas? I really like the cornbread idea... it would be like that Amy's frozen enchilada pie thing...

    Wow - I just noticed that my pinky is half the size of my ring finger. WEIRD. I did a google search, and here is what I found: Open Original Shared Link

    I second you on the tea bags. They didn't happen to be the Tazo green ginger bags, did they? Best tea ever... and now I can't have it. Also: salad dressing. I was an airhead and forgot to read the label, thinking "Caesar dressing should be safe..." WRONG. I paid for that one... big time. And lastly, grapefruit shampoo.I wash my hair the morning...

    I finally got an email back from Aldi about the labeling on some of the products I either have purchased or have been interested in purchasing, but did not know if they were safe. Anyone else find it odd that mayonnaise is not safe? Dear Monica, Thank you for your recent inquiry regarding whether our products are gluten free or contain allergens...

    I was told, by a Culver's employee, that their fries are safe. I got really sick after eating those. I also got sick after eating one of their Ande's concrete mixers, so now the only thing I order there is the banana milkshake and haven't gotten sick from that.

    I am in the same boat... I have had symptoms since birth. My mom told me the only thing she could feed me when I was a tot was meat and veggies/produce. If she tried something else, I was absolutely unbearable - screaming, crying, etc. Well yeah... I was in pain! And my pediatrician just told her I was "finnicky". Yeah... that didn't provide much comfort...

    One thing I do is write every symptom down that I get during the 5 miserable days - I do this because (1) I like to track stuff like that and (2) I think my sister and my mom have undiagnosed Celiac disease and this info may help them someday (or someone else who is newly diagnosed - who knows?). I also eat very simply - lay off the corn, soy, and milk products...

    Ya know, I just got back from my fiance's parents house and I was talking to his mom about it (who has absolutely NO understand of celiac, by the way... she thinks it is a choice, not something I need to do). She loves her rum, but only drinks it with soda. She tells me that the sugary soda mixed with liquor is a big problem for a lot of people (including...

    My fiance is allergic to sulfites (anaphylaxis, asthma attacks, etc.) but the only things that bother him (and by bother I mean send him to the ER) are wines, premade mixed (like margarita mix), frozen potatoes, and grapes. Do sulfites in frozen potatoes and grapes bother you, too?

    I don't drink very often. And when I do, I very rarely get drunk - it takes kind of a lot for me to get drunk and it always has (which is surprising because I am a pretty small girl). Anyway, I have noticed that, lately, whenever I drink alcohol, no matter how much, the next morning I wake up with a pounding headache and just feel crappy. For example...
  19. summerteeth
    WOW - that is absolutely unreal. Is that even legal? I'm not too clear on the laws regarding labeling. If it is legal, then that is just moronic, IMO. What kind of products at Walmart say that?
  20. summerteeth
    WOW -- good for you for being a big enough person to realize that she needs this diet to feel better. I can think of quite a few people close to me who really have no desire to understand (if someone truly does not understand that is one thing. But if someone is ignorant enough to know what is wrong and make a point of to ridicule/humiliate/guilt me.....

    My favorite crockpot recipe is potato leek soup: 4 cups sliced potatoes 3 cups sliced leeks 1 bunch green onions 2 cups chicken broth (I use veggie broth) 6 slices bacon 1 1/2 cup milk 1 cup shredded cheese All the ingredients except the last two go in, cook on low for about 8 hours. In the last 1/2 hour of cooking add the milk and cheese. Then...

    It was the "Coup de toe" episode (I don't know if that was what it is called - but I remember that phrase). Anyway, George is talking about how the second toe outgrows the big toe and becomes captain of the foot. I think it was earlier on in the show's run, if I remember correctly...
  23. summerteeth
    Well it's by Alton Brown it must be good (I LOVE his show!) Well thanks everyone for the wonderful ideas! I have way more options than I ever would have imagined. This is going to be a lot easier than I thought (minus the last minute factor).
  24. summerteeth
    That reminds me of George Costanza on Seinfield! The one where he breaks up with the woman because she is wearing flip flops and one toe goes over the edge of the flip flop... Yeah... in addition to my second toe being longer than the first, it is curved (I took pointe lessons at a very young age and my feet paid for it).

    Why thank you! It is the name of my favorite album. Wow, this thread must get a lot of newbies because I think everyone has mentioned that.
