ARCHIVED Candida Or Celiac
DaffodElle replied to Holly4's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I came across an article, it is a little old, but it really seemed to clear up the candida/Celiac connection as well as we know about it. It made complete sense with my overlapping symptoms. It was published in the Lancet in 2003, title is "Is Candida albicans a trigger in the onset of coeliac disease?". You can look for it on PubMed, not sure if there is... -
ARCHIVED When Does The Craziness End?
DaffodElle replied to Lexi's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Lexi- I totally feel your pain!! I've been at this over 3 years and still the ups and downs. The only thing I can suggest, and you might hate me for this, is to stop with the milk subs for a few days and see how it goes. I know for a fact that I do WORSE with milk subs than actual milk, at least with gluten-related sx. Cow's milk totally kills my stomach... -
ARCHIVED Need Coconut Milk W/o Guar Gum That Is gluten-free....
DaffodElle replied to jasonD2's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Does anyone have anything to add? I found this thread while searching for the same thing... can't find any without guar gum. Would be willing to order online if needed... -
ARCHIVED Something New With Larabars? Possible Problems
DaffodElle replied to DaffodElle's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
You know, I often wonder how many things I've cut out due to that very problem... is it the ACTUAL food or a contamination thing?? You all have brought up some interesting points. I do want to add that I'm pretty sure I did react to my peanut butter last week now. AGAIN- is it the peanuts or CC? It is store brand, no gluten-free designation, so who knows... -
ARCHIVED Something New With Larabars? Possible Problems
DaffodElle replied to DaffodElle's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Thanks for the reply. Sorry it has taken so long for me to reply, was without the internet for awhile! Not plain nuts necessarily, as I can't find any that haven't been processed on the same equipment as wheat... however, I do eat peanut butter pretty regularly with no obvious problems. That was what was weird about Larabars, I could tolerate the nuts... -
ARCHIVED Something New With Larabars? Possible Problems
DaffodElle replied to DaffodElle's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Ok, just found more info on the site that the company was bought by General Mills in June 2008. But that was a while ago... I'll post if they tell me anything useful. -
ARCHIVED Something New With Larabars? Possible Problems
DaffodElle posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I used to eat Larabars all the time, especially when I was glutened... No problems with them. They were a staple from when I was feeling better. As of a few weeks ago, I've been more and more suspicious that they are making me sick. I've been eating a lot of them while on vacation, and have been getting progressively sicker all week. Does anyone know... -
ARCHIVED Products And Medication Mfgs That Have High Cc
DaffodElle replied to 6ft6's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Gluten information regarding drugs is often difficult to obtain, even for pharmacists. I don't know how many times I've called drug companies looking for this info, and they are unable to give me any helpful information. I have a list that was published in the journal Hospital Pharmacy that lists gluten-free drug manufacturers. I'll try to find it this... -
ARCHIVED Tyson Chicken Breasts
DaffodElle replied to Rissmeek's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I realize I'm a couple months late, but add me to the list of people intolerant of Tyson chicken breast. I suspected it once a few months back, but then thought I was just being paranoid... Last week, Tyson was on sale, the usual store brand I buy was not. Being the frugal-ista that I am, I bought the Tyson and thought nothing of it. I made the same recipe... -
ARCHIVED What Companies/products Do You Absolutely Trust?
DaffodElle replied to DaffodElle's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Yep, a safe list. -
ARCHIVED What Companies/products Do You Absolutely Trust?
DaffodElle posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
As much as I get on here to see whether others have had problems with the same products, I sometimes find myself getting tired of adding to the seemingly endless list of processed products that have caused a gluten reaction for me. I've been at this three years now. I've only recently gotten to the point where I'm eating very, very little processed food... -
ARCHIVED Pamela's Brownies
DaffodElle replied to hypersof's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I thought about that. I had the same deal with Betty Crocker brownies a few weeks ago, only worse. I know chocolate is fine because I can eat handfuls of Enjoy Life chocolate chips with no problems. Soy gives me trouble, but it doesn't do the whole DH, etc. she-bang, just GI to a small extent. Can't figure out the common denominator?? Anyone know where... -
ARCHIVED Pamela's Brownies
DaffodElle replied to hypersof's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I read your original post after searching the forum for Pamela's mix because I suspected it this weekend, and it was like reading my own post. That is exactly what happened to me: DH, sugar cravings, and all. Not sure what the deal is, I hadn't had any baked goods in quite awhile, but now I'm beyond sad... Would you be willing to tell us what brands... -
ARCHIVED Celestial Tea
DaffodElle replied to skimomma's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I really hate to admit it, but I think I've had CC problems with their plain tea, too. Granted, I'm uber-sensitive, but I made the connection that EVERY weekend on Saturday afternoon, I would start getting gluten-sick. And EVERY weekend, no matter what I ate, I would have green tea instead of coffee in the mornings, thinking it was a healthier option... -
ARCHIVED M&m's Debate Revisited
DaffodElle posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I suspect M&Ms. Now before every person on this forum tells me I must be crazy and have some other food intolerance instead, I'd like to comment that this was clearly a gluten-related reaction. No other foods cause me to react in this particular succession of symptoms. I had been tolerating lactose and sulfites just fine for a few weeks, in fact, both... -
ARCHIVED "gluten Free" Items That "got You"
DaffodElle replied to NorthernElf's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
True. However, after you have tried (and failed) to be gluten-free long enough, you come to recognize glutenings for what they are. At least I have. I'm super sensitive. My gluten reaction very rarely includes GI symptoms in the first place. I know that if I experience the "big D", that it was probably something else or a super severe gluten reaction.... -
ARCHIVED True North Almond Nut Clusters
DaffodElle replied to foodiegurl's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Only about a million times before I figured it out. Granted, back then when I was eating them, I was also probably eating other products that were secretly glutening me. Nevertheless, there was a very strong association. Sorry to confirm your suspicions, I know they are really good!! Elle -
ARCHIVED "gluten Free" Items That "got You"
DaffodElle replied to NorthernElf's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Lays and Kettle potato chips for sure, Classico pasta sauce, Amy's meals (took me awhile to figure out, the enchiladas were so good!!). There are so many things I've had CC reactions to, I pretty much stopped keeping track like I used to. Pretty much any restaurant EXCEPT PF Chang's, and I've had better luck with Outback lately. It actually makes me... -
ARCHIVED Gluten-free Sex Info
DaffodElle replied to latteda's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Take a look at www.glutenfreedrugs.com There is a list of gluten-free oral contraceptives on there, many generics included. You can also call the company, but I would probably just pick one where the pharmacist from the website has already called and verified. Way easier than weeding through drug company CYA disclaimers yourself. Sorry if this is too... -
ARCHIVED Thermoregulatory Improvements With gluten-free Diet?
DaffodElle replied to BigDogz's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
My jaw just dropped when I read your post, I thought I was crazy to think that my temp regulation issues related to gluten, although there is a pretty strong correlation! My husband makes fun of me because I'm constantly cold or hot, never just right! It was one of those things that I didn't realize that it got better until it gets worse every time I get... -
ARCHIVED Alter Eco Fair Trade Quinoa
DaffodElle replied to no gluten girl's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
No Gluten Girl- I realize it has been awhile since you posted, but I was searching for other people who have had issues with quinoa. I didn't have the GI issues that most people report, but I was also coming down with a cold when I ate it and was feeling exhausted and nasty anyway. I did notice yesterday that my DH was flaring up, which typically indicates...
