ARCHIVED Should My Son Go Gluten Free?
jackay replied to kali-mist's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I agree with the doctor that your son should go gluten free. If he gains weight, you have your answer. If he continues to lose weight, you will need to look for other causes. What have you to lose? You are already gluten free. Your son doesn't need gluten to be healthy. So what if blood tests may not be accurate in the future. He may be someone who... -
ARCHIVED No Other Way To Put It But That I Stink!
jackay replied to jackay's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Yes, I got the burps. I see a lot of the Betaine HCL comes with pepsin. Would you suggest I just order the Betaine HCL or the combination? -
ARCHIVED Pork Chops...probably Nothing But ?!?!?
jackay replied to NorthernElf's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Were the pork chops cut and wrapped at the Safeway store or did they come prepackaged? If they were packaged in the meat department at the local store, they could have gotten cc. -
ARCHIVED No Other Way To Put It But That I Stink!
jackay replied to jackay's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
What are low stomach acid symptoms? That could possibly be my problem. -
ARCHIVED No Other Way To Put It But That I Stink!
jackay replied to jackay's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
I didn't stink before I went gluten free as long as I took a good probiotic. Now that I am gluten free, I stink. Go figure! -
ARCHIVED No Other Way To Put It But That I Stink!
jackay replied to jackay's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
I have been dairy free for quite some time. Tried plain yogurt one time and plain kefir another and it didn't get any worse (or better). I've been off all sugars and yeast for months because of the candida. Also, I've been off all grains for over six weeks. What I currently am eating is meat (except for beef), avacado, olive oil, tahini, almonds, sunflower... -
ARCHIVED No Other Way To Put It But That I Stink!
jackay posted a topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
I know I've seen this addressed several times but am addressing it again since I'm getting very frustrated.. I want input from others as to what has worked for them. I feel I am at the point where I shouldn't ever go out in public. I don't know when I'm going to be hit with a stink bomb! This happens every day with whatever I eat. I have read about... -
ARCHIVED Trader Joes Rice Milk
jackay replied to jasonD2's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I don't know if food sensitivity blood tests are accurate, but I did test intolerant to hemp. I am not going to try it until I heal more. -
I agree with you 100%.

ARCHIVED Attempt To Get Diagnosis Or Self-Diagnose?
jackay replied to Emsstacey's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I suggest you stick with a gluten free diet longer. I have been completely gluten free for five months now. My anxiety went away as soon as I was careful to not get cross-contaminated. Other issues did not go away until I went on a combined elimination and candida diet. I also started a candida supplement. I still suffer from fatigue and lots of gas... -
I feel pretty good. It's warming up here in MN and nice and sunny. Sleep is getting better which helps my disposition. Haven't been glutened in about six weeks. Hope it never happens again. I know, living in a dream world to not expect it to happen again.

ARCHIVED Cravings For Glutenous Foods?
jackay replied to modifiedbeauty's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Glutenous pizza would be heavenly! It smells soooooo goood!!! -
There are so many unhealthy people in my life and they continue to chow down on junk food. I am finally getting my health back and it is a wonderful thing. Yes, I miss the junk food. Would I choose that over feeling good? NO WAY!!!!! Actually, I do hope that at some point I can add a few gluten-free treats (junk food) to my diet. If they don't work...

ARCHIVED Where Do You Buy Your Flours?
jackay replied to waterlily-'s topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Is there cross contamination issues with regular cornstarch from the grocery stores? -
ARCHIVED I Am Thinking This Is Hogwash- Super Gluten
jackay replied to Wolicki's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I would have to vote Hogwash except for possibly the very mildly gluten intolerant. If European gluten didn't have consequences, why are there Celiac and gluten intolerant Europeans getting sick from their own wheat gluten? This isn't just a problem in America. -
ARCHIVED Salad Bar In Grocery Store?
jackay replied to GarAndTeed's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
The bins that they put the salad ingredients in can be contaminated from previously having glutened foods in them. You just can't trust salad bars. -
ARCHIVED Eating Out
jackay replied to masterjen's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I'm not ready to eat out yet either but hope some day I'll be comfortable enough to try it. I only eat food that I make myself. Don't even trust my husband's cooking. -
ARCHIVED Mouth Burning From Food Allergies?
jackay replied to hannahp57's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
A friend of mine has oral allergies to fresh fruits. She opted to go with allergy shots and has gotten much better. -
ARCHIVED Milk Is An Unhealthy Drink!
jackay replied to irish daveyboy's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
My doctor is definitely against milk. He isn't against organic kefir or yogurt, though, because of all the good probiotics in it. -
ARCHIVED Why Are The Intolerances Growing?
jackay replied to Mittens6043's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
I am using Candex to get rid of the candida. I researched the candida diet online and from there learned that I needed to give up yeast, all forms of sugar, fruits, starchy vegetables and to limited grains. I'm three weeks into using Candex and almost five weeks into following the diet. After starting out eating only turnips, olive oil, chicken and... -
ARCHIVED I... But... Look, Can Someone Tell Me If This Is A Lot?
jackay replied to MagpieWrites's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Your mentally insane MIL possibly would not be mentally insane if she gave up gluten! It is obvious that she would rather suffer than make any changes in her life. Possibly she enjoys her suffering in some sick way. That is her choice. It is your choice to not be a part of her abuse. I have five grandkids and would never dream of feeding them anything... -
ARCHIVED Delayed Food Reactions
jackay replied to Leper Messiah's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I'm sure she means simple food, lots of water, probiotics and no dairy. -
ARCHIVED My 2010 Celiac Campaign Has Begun.
jackay replied to imracin68j's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Thanks for what you are doing. Making others aware can go a long way in helping many figure out what is wrong with them, while hopefully getting the general public aware and more understanding of what this is all about. -
ARCHIVED Candida Overgrowth Detox Issues -- Lot'S Of Pain
jackay replied to Texasannie's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I am also treating candida. I cut out all fruit, grains, starchy vegetables, sugars and yeast. I am also taking Candex by Pure Essence Labs. I've been on the Candex for about two weeks and have noticed that I am feeling better. I had such insomnia and started sleeping better, too. Candex is made up of natural enzymes that do not create die off issues... -
ARCHIVED Dealing With Not Feeling Accepted
jackay replied to Tehana's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
How about telling others that you have Celiac. If they ask you if you tested positive for it, just tell a fib and say you did. That may be the only way you get through to some people. I personally haven't done that but I most of my friends and family seem to understand. Good luck!
