    Hi Rana. I just saw your message on my profile. It looks like I can't message you either. If you google me you can find a way to contact me on another forum. I have had problems with cheese which I will discuss with you in more detail if you like.

    Funny, I find myself at times being needlessly mean or rude to my boyfriend (I'm typically a very kind and even keeled person!) and wondering if its gluten or that time of the month haha. Its usually one or the other. Poor guy... And my periods are WAY WORSE than they ever were in accordance with my gluten issues, there must be some relation going on. ...

    Hi Caroline, thanks for taking the time to try and help me! I am a lady (or at least a female hehe), so I suppose hormones could be playing a role. I am not sure if I've ever experienced "pooling" specifically, but I defintely, absolutely, experience the good ol' stomach bloat. My stomach is pretty much permanently bloated all the time right now with all...

    Thank you both for your input... I do believe stress is playing a role, but I also believe gluten must still be getting in somewhere. I have been doing the swapping in and out of things (i went two days without using traditional toothpaste don't tell!) and no definitive results. My lasest guess is the On The Border corn chips I've been eating, I usually eat...

    thank you everyone! Its obvious i need to check for other intolerances. I don't eat any soy at the moment (no processed foods so its not sneaking in) but I do eat a little corn and one serving of brown rice a day. The corn is eaten at night though so that's something to consider! I used to cut out all grains (did the Specific Carbohydrate Diet for a while...

    well you're the first person i've heard from that also has morning episodes. this only started for me in the last few weeks and i can't for the life of me think of what changed. In the past these blood sugar issues have always been linked to gluten, so i hope i'm not still getting cc'ed somewhere because i sure don't know where at this point! i don't even...

    thank you! i will do that... i did know this but i haven't been doing it lately. i think i finally, finally, cut all the cc gluten sources out of my diet in the last few weeks so i'm sure that changes a person's body chemistry and could trigger bloog sugar issues. hashing this out on this forum has made me realize its got to be blood sugar. thank you again...

    Everyone is different, but I absolutely react to Chex cereals and have heard other people on here say the same thing. I went on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet when I was first diagnosed and miserably sick and getting CCed all the time. It's admittedly a huge pain in the butt, especially for a college student, but maybe something to consider. It really gave...

    THANK YOU everyone for taking the time to reply, really really appreciate it! To answer your questions I don't feel better after a BM, but I have been a bit more clogged up than usual and I did actually wonder if that was playing a role (if nothing more than gluten is staying in my system longer, not sure if that makes sense though). I have been wondering...

    Hello! I need some help/insight into my current situation: I am getting glutened first thing in the morning and I cannot for the life of me figure it out. I have learned I'm pretty sensitive (I eat nothing processed, at the moment in attempts to figure this out I am not even using spices, just meat and veggies and rice and i wash all those things as best...

    Last year I got roped into an out of town Thanksgiving with my family, while normally this would be exciting I couldn't help but dread it a little, it seemed like there was no way I could get away gluten free or enjoy myself since I'd be worried the whole time. A day or two before we left I had my own personal Thanksgiving, made everything I wanted gluten...

    i just realized that Hormel bacon (the natural kind that says gluten free in the cardboard box) has been glutening me after all, it was just so small at first it took me eating it for several weeks to finally realize that was the problem. So no more processed meat for me, either.... I know this post is a little dated now but I had to come back and say this...

    rana replied to a*lone*star's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Its so nice to see so many helpful replies, I get on here sometimes after getting glutened to just to feel better about everything. For me, my denial kept me from getting healthy for a long time and not wanting to admit or simply just didn't realize how sensitive I really was to gluten. I knew I shouldn't eat certain things, that little voice in my head ...

    we're not saying they're lying and adding wheat, we're saying there's always the possibility of cross contamination. funny how when i lived in Georgia for a year where there is no Kroger stores, i was feeling much better. now that I've moved and been buying Kroger brand to save money, I'm suddenly getting nailed left and right. I'm not sure what's going on...

    thanks for all the useful feedback! sometimes its just nice being validated that you're not crazy and that this is hard for everyone. Funny, I was just talking with my boyfriend last night and we were saying how we would like to acquire our meat more locally, it seems the only really safe route and the only really healthy way to go. We'll have to start looking...

    wow, i just posted a very similar question before I read this post. I swear I am getting glutened off of Kroger brand ground beef. I feel much like you do, I am so sensitive I can't seem to win no matter what I do. I have, however, had good luck with Jennie-O turkey sausages and the Hormel no preservative bacon, which contradicts your reaction. this is way...

    Okay, so I've been diagnosed for two years now and have noticed that since I've healed a lot of the initial damage and am somewhat healthy again, I am EXTREMELY sensitive, much more sensitive than I initially thought. Basically if it's not made in a dedicated facility, I will get glutened, although be it minor. I try to stay away from processed foods and...

    I can't help but add to this thread even if a bit dated, I have eaten at P.F. Chang's twice now and had very minor reactions both times (I'm guessing cross contamination, I am quite sensitive). I love this place, I can't help but want to try it again, but so far they are zero for two. Fair warning!

    I've been wondering about the adverse affects of soy after reading a bit about it on this site and elsewhere- I think I will switch. Going to check out Stevia as well, I think sugar is one of my worst enemies right now (noticed my vision problems are actually at their worst immediately after consuming processed foods / sugar). Thanks for the insight, all...

    Thanks for the tip! I am definitely eating enough protein (I even drink soy protein shakes), but I do think I was on overloading on the carbs and sugar, then crashing later, just being a giant yo-yo mess... More fat I can handle, and will give that go as I see your point. Girly isn't my style and living at such altitude I don't have to really worry about...

    Thank you so much! I really appreciate the help and insight... It really all comes down to having to really listen to your own body and I think those tips will definitely help me along the way. Sometimes I think being under additional stress kills my appetite and makes it hard for me to eat enough to sustain myself for very long, right now I seem to need...

    Hello, I need help! After a year of intense symptoms (and several years of mild ones) I finally went to the doctor and for once the doctor actually knew what was wrong, that evil evil gluten. But my doctor couldn't help me much beyond the blood test... So I have been trying my best to be gluten free for about six months now and was feeling A LOT better for...
