    I'm sorry! I have days like that too! The longer I've been gluten-free the less it happens thank goodness! Could you make or buy gluten-free goodies and freeze them for emergencies like this in the future? I know this won't help now though.

    I agree it sounds like a stomach bug to me! Hope you feel better soon! I think sometimes we stay so focused on gluten issues that we tend to forget that everyone deals with diarrhea, vomitting, heartburn, and stomach aches on occassion!

    I hate this for you! To have to choose between losing someone you love or being constantly ill can't be easy. However your health is most important. He should respect you enough to abstain from gluten to keep you healthy!

    I think he deleted it because of all the negative attention he received!

    Sounds like they are pulling a CYA. The pictures he had of the restaurant show him wearing a chef's coat.

    Good news! Thanks for sharing!

    He has pictures posted of a restaurant called Florinda's in Glenwood Springs. It doesn't specify whether he works there or is just friends with the owners. If you read reviews on Trip Advisor this restaurant has been getting terrible reviews lately. Most of them saying how far downhill the place has gone. It would be kind of funny if he was the new...

    This bothered me at first too. It gets way easier though. Now that I've been gluten-free for a year and a half I actually like asking my friends what they ordered at a nice restaurant or what they think of new gluteny treats I see around. In fact if something looks really good I suggest my daughter or husband try it! Eating vicariously I suppose! lol

    I don't know who would want to eat anything this guy cooked anyhow! He sounds so bitter and unhappy. Are there any people dining at his restaurant that he doesn't think he is better than? Anyone he doesn't feel the need to make fun of? Dining out is expensive and for a lot of people it is a treat! They shouldn't feel like they have to buy new clothes...

    Wow, I think that would have really hurt my feelings! You just don't expect that from friends who know the issues you are dealing with! I hope she just had a serious memory lapse and wasn't being intentionally malicious! I'm sorry you were put in such an awkward situation!

    I agree with the above advice. Go on the diet 100% and see how you feel. IMO false negatives are so common that this is the only true test! If after a month or so you see no improvement then try an elimination diet. Something is causing your symptoms and frankly doctors are of little use. It's sometimes better to take things into your own hands! Good...

    I am so sorry about what you are going through! I can't imagine what a shock this must be! Hopefully she is just emotional over her diagnoses and perhaps even gluten withdrawl and will reconsider! It sounds like if she doesn't she is losing out on a great and caring husband! I have a wonderful husband but trust me, he'd never join this forum just to help...

    Sorry your actual birthday wasn't so hot! I was in the same boat this year with a kidney and double ear infection. I had to get a shot in the butt on my b-day that made me sicker than a dog! I did like you and had a birthday do over later in the week! So glad your first meal out has settled well! Happy belated birthday and I hope you continue to improve...

    Most mornings I eat 2% Greek yogurt with slightly thawed frozen raspberries and a small handful of nuts. On weekends I like to make egg sandwiches. Just fried egg with white cheddar and jelly on Udi's toast. Sometimes I make pancakes. Another favorite is Mighty Tasty Hot Cereal cooked with blueberries, stevia, and pecans.

    Are you taking B12 suppliments? I had a lot of pain with numbness and tingling when I was low on B12. I got injections for awhile and they really helped! I don't know how much mobility you can handle but Netflix has quite a few Yoga workouts for aches and pains on demand. I think as you continue to heal you will find a lot of your issues going...

    It sounds like from the tests her body is making antibodies against gluten which would indicate that she needs to eliminate it. She may have still had symptoms due to a secondary intolerance like soy or dairy. She could've been experience withdrawl symptoms. Or maybe she just wasn't on the diet long enough to see results.

    As a side note, make sure your hand sanitizer doesn't have gluten! I was using Bath and Body Works hand sanitizer before eating lunch at work (not to remove gluten, just because of germs) and then realized both my Japanese Cherry Blossom and Apple Glow sanitizers had wheat amino acids in them!

    I will admit I have indeed had this very thought. I never act on it though. I think about long term damage and side effects. I guess it's like if you had a sunburn you wouldn't hop in the tanning bed because the damage is already done. It would just be worse. So yeah, I think but never act! It makes me soooo mad to get sick from something I didn't even...

    Trust me, eating a piece of "real" cake on my birthday would not be an indulgence I'd want to make. Spending the day in the bathroom and the next week fatigued with joint pain, tingling in my arms and legs, canker sores, and a rash does not make for a good birthday. The good news is you can fabulous cakes gluten free. I made the best cake for my...

    I guess I'm a terrible person to give advice because I make gluten free Bisquick biscuits and like them and I like Udi's bread but what I did was to just not eat bread. For months. I tried one brand when I first went gluten-free, hated it and just gave up for awhile. By the time I tried Udi's my memories of what bread was supposed to taste like were faded...

    Is there any possible way that your family's hamburger buns came into contact with you? I say anytime you are assembling a meal with gluten and gluten free ingredients cross contamination is highly likely. Also your cookware...is it scratched and is gluten cooked in it? Do you use dedicated tools for cooking gluten free? Is your toaster 100% gluten free...
  24. lynnelise
    I would say yes. All these symptoms can be caused by gluten. I always get stomach issues immediately if I'm glutened and then flu like symptoms for days after. Cheating isn't worth it to me!

    I know a lot of people who waited til they were in their late 30s or even early 40s to have kids! In fact my mom was 36 and my dad 43 when I was born! It's not too late for you so no need to panic! I agree with the above advice, wait until the glutening has completely passed and have a talk with your boyfriend to see if you are on the same page.
