I usually buy my seeds and nuts in the bulk section of my store but the other day as I was about to pop some seeds into my mouth I looked down and along with the seeds there was a grain of barley. I should know better. I'm sure there is all kinds of contamination in those bins. So, does anyone know of a gluten free company that packages seeds and nuts...

I was diagnosed with celiacs last September but still didn't feel good after three months on the diet so I had allergy testing done. I'm allergic to several things but can reintroduce after being off them for three months but the doctor said I have a fixed allergy to eggs and milk. I've been off the two since the beginning of February and still don't feel...

Yes this does help. Thank you. I'm going to take out all positive foods and hopefully I'll start to feel better soon. Beth

I've been gluten free for four months but still felt bad so I had a test done by Alletess Medical Lab called the IgG, IgA and IgE ELISA and I'm having a hard time understanding the results and my doctor is out of town and I'm anxious to understand what it all means. Wondering if anyone knows how to interpret it. An example is the IgG page where almonds have...

I've been gluten free since september 09. I had bad muscle and joint pain and still do but not as bad as before. I was basically house bound. A couple of weeks ago I had food allergy testing done to check for 92 food sensitivites and it turns out I'm allergic to several things. Hopefully getting off these foods will help with the remaining pain and tiredness...

I found out in July I have celiac disease. I've been reading a really good book by Dr. Peter Green who is the director of the celiac disease center at Columbia University. He said that the children of celiacs should be tested. I told my twelve year old this and he freaked out. He has a tendency to pass out during blood tests so this is going to be a dramatic...

Thank you both for replying. Makes me feel a little better knowing this is normal. I actually stopped taking all my vitamins before my endoscopy and haven't taken them for the last two weeks so maybe it's time to start taking them again. Beth

I was diagnosed last July. Went gluten free for two months. Two weeks ago I had an endoscopy and biopsy which confirmed diagnosis. Ate gluten for three days before biopsy. Had the cramps and body pain. In the last few days I've developed strange sensations in my cheeks, mostly the left one. First they felt hot but when I touched them they were cool...

Penny, Regarding paleofood.com I'm familiar with it but I don't think it's linked with Cordain's page or philosophy because your right, I think he doesn't think salt is a good thing. Alot of the recipes do have salt in them. I cut down salt for other people I'm cooking for but for me however I'm on two different potassium sparing diuretics for a kidney...

Thanks for the advice everyone. I think I will call my dr. just to let him know whats going on. Beth

I had an endoscopy done last Tuesday so I ate gluten on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. Had bad cramps of course. It is now Thursday and I still feel cruddy. Not so many cramps just dizzy, can't think straight, can't think of words to say. I had been gluten free for two months prior to eating gluten last weekend when I found out I had it in July. My stomach...

I think Cordain has done some really good research. On his site you can download free articles. The paleo diet really makes sense. I keep talking about going back to the caveman diet but keep faltering. I need to reread Cordains arguments about why it is a good diet to remind me. I had my endoscopy last Tuesday so now I can be a pure no gluten person...

Hi Penny, You hit on a topic I am really interested in right now and find people think I'm nut's when I talk about it. I also went vegan in college looking for better health. I lost weight but still had headaches. I've always been interested in nutrition so when my physical therapist suggested an anti inflammatory diet to help joint inflammation and general...

I'm back from my endoscopy and it really wasn't that bad. I have a fuzzy memory of a black tube and some discomfort and someone holding my hand. When I woke up they said I wasn't under enough and had to give me some more drugs. Don't remember anything else though. I enjoyed not having any aches and pains there for awhile when I woke up because I have...

I found out I have celiacs two months ago and have been gluten free and enjoying not having stomach pain. My doctor wants to do an endoscopy to see if there is any damage or tumors. I've been eating gluten for two days to prepare and it hasn't been fun. I've been getting really bad cramps. So bad I've had to hang onto the kitchen counter until they pass...
