    My husband has quite a large garden. He already has it charted out for this coming summer. I am definitely going to be more involved and plan on freezing and canning many veggies. What I canned this past summer has a good chance of cc so can't use most of it. Now I know how to be careful:) This year the garden will include winter squash, carrots, chinese...

    My doctor did a full nutritional panel. He was as surprised as I was that only B12 was low. He said it almost looked as if they tested someone else's blood. I can't afford to have it redone to see if there was a mistake.

    I was tested and the only thing I was low on was Vitamin B12. I take 3000 IU Vitamin D3 daily so most likely that would also be low if I didn't supplement. Just started on Vitamin B12 and am hoping it will help with my insomnia.

    I wish I could go completely chemical free because I feel chemicals are bad for everyone. I do use a nonstick pan some of the time. I stick to medium heat or lower as high heat is suppose to produce more toxins. I use mostly natural cleaners except for toilet bowl cleaner. I do not use any plastics for my food. I cover some glass dishes with plastic...

    This makes me think of the time years ago that I was asked to work on my day off. I was going to a potluck right after work, so fixed a casserole in a crockpot in the morning to take to work so I could stir it a few times. Apparently the smell bothered others. I think it just possibly made them hungry!!! Anyway, my supervisor said I could never do that...

    I am due for my six month cleaning and check up soon. I also was wondering if I'd get glutened from my dentist. Could the "gritty stuff" that is used to polish the teeth contain gluten, soy or corn? I tested severely intolerant to fluoride a while back and know there is a polish that is fluoride free. Guess I'll have to ask about about the polish when...

    I don't think others can truly understand how gluten is effecting someone unless they have gluten intolerances. My DH told me he took a clean knife to cut a squash so what was left in the refrigerator would be safe for me to eat. He was trying but I doubt he washed his hands first or washed the "clean knife" before using it. If he did, he probably used...

    Jason, I'll be praying for you. I can relate to what you are saying because I felt like I had no life for four years. I spent hours online trying to find help. I don't have all your health problems but I thinnk I understand your pain. I wish I was good with words and I'm not. I do want you to know I care and do hope you can find relief soon. Hang...

    Boy, oh boy, am I looking forward to sleep, too. I hope this is my missing link. Every once in a while I get a pretty decent night's sleep and what a difference it makes. To sleep every night would be wonderful!!!!!

    I'm sure my doctor will suggest shots if the drops don't work for me. He said to start taking them three times a day but didn't tell me how much to take at a time. I had many, many questions for him so didn't think to ask that one. I'll see what it says on the bottles. Most likely I'll have to call him once I get the drops. I am absorbing all my other...

    OptimisticMom42, You make me smile! Living in MN, I can definitely relate. I thought it was just me that gets so cold. Jackay

    Before going gluten free and finding out what other food intolerances I had, I didn't want someone else's life, I just wanted to die. Luckily, I don't feel that way anymore (most days at least). I still have some healing to do so am positive it will get even better.

    I am starting out with sublingual liquid drops that I will hold in my mouth for absorption. I checked extensively for sublinqual tablets and they all have ingredients in that I shouldn't have. Most of them are sweetened and flavored, which I shouldn't have at this time. Right now I am fighting candida so am suppose to avoid all sweeteners. Hopefully once...

    I finally got the results of nutrional analysis and found the only thing I am low on is Vitamin B12. My doctor was surprised and said it almost looked like they checked someone elses blood. I had my calcium, phosphorus and Vitamin D checked a month earlier by another doctor and those results matched closely so it was most likely my blood tested. I ordered...

    Thanks for the information. I found Arrowhead Mills millet and amaranth in a neighboring town. I haven't heard good things about that company and most likely will be returning the products unopened. They don't indicate that they are gluten free on their packages. I emailed them yesterday and haven't received a response yet. I find it interesting that...

    Peter, Thanks so much for this reassurance. We helped butcher chickens on a farm last year and the got contaminated. Jackay

    I get very tight muscles in my lower back and burning pain in my upper back muscles right below my shoulder blades. The pain definitely seems to be food related. I am intolerant to many foods besides gluten and am having a hard time determining what is all bothering me. I am 100% convinced that all my back problems are food related. I was getting chiropractic...

    I understand that meat and eggs are gluten-free but I've been wondering if there can be cc from what they are fed? I have no idea what animals eat. I'm just guessing that they are fed wheat and corn. I found out I am intolerant to corn, also.
  19. jackay
    I suggest you make sure that you use gluten free soap and paper towels. If you employer won't provide them, bring your own. Good luck!+

    Keith, Hi back to you. Just wanted to welcome you to this forum and let you know you are not alone. I sympathize with you. At times I feel this really sucks and other times think I can handle it. Guess it all depends on how much sleep I get. If staying off gluten helps, forget the tests. As far as social situations go, they aren't too easy for...

    I also deal with a spouse who is not supportive. He just doesn't get it either. He says he cleans up crumbs but I see them everywhere. When we share meals together, I watch carefully and if he puts his spoon or fork in something, I just don't eat it. I dish up my meals first but watch to see if the leftovers get cc. I am very, very careful because I...

    Lz-erk, What is orthomolecular medicine? I have taken some supplements by OrthoMolecular Products and am wondering if they are O.K.

    bluebonnet, Have you tried the B12 yet and had any luck with it?

    I'm going to talk to my doctor about tryptophan as I am back to getting very little sleep and barely functioning. I'd love to try Omega 3s but have fish and flax intolerances. Bummer! I've heard they work for lots of people.
  25. jackay
    I don't dream about eating gluten foods but dream about cross contamination. I have insomnia most of the time so just lay awake and wonder if I'm not sleeping because of cc. Sure wish I could get over this.
