    I haven't done a lot of experimentation with my corn issues, but here's what I have noticed: In very small amounts, I can have it, though I do prefer making my own baking powder. When I get too much corn, I get pain & cramping & D, but like the others said, once it's out of my system, it's out. It also exacerbates my eczema.

    Heather, I can relate. I kept looking forward to all this good health and energy that I was supposed to get after going gluten-free, and a year in, it didn't happen. So then I pursued things more with my gastroenterologist. Gall bladder? Normal. Gastric emptying scan? Slow. So, I have (a thankfully mild case of) gastroparesis. That still didn't fix it, so...

    Good to know. Also, I take it all with a big grain of salt. It's interesting to see what's out there, and how people come to the conclusions they do. I wonder now why regular potatoes are nightshades but sweet aren't? Hmm. Research for today.

    I may be putting more stock in this now. Since starting this (and I haven't been gluten-strict), I ate eggplant last night, and bad news. I think there might be something to this 'no nightshades for type A' thing. It just feels stuck (still) in my stomach. My gastroparesis does seem worse when I eat nightshades in large quantities. I can do a few tomatoes...

    It's a happy thing. Also, check out (Throwback) Pepsi and (Heritage) Dr. Pepper. Both are made with sugar instead of HFCS.

    So far, I'm the same -- don't do eggs, but can have them in baked goods. What I'm wanting to find out now is whether I can have them as part of something similar to a frittata.

    The dairy is also a non-issue for me since it came up on my allergy testing. The inconsistency, though, made me wonder about the legitimacy. I'm finding going through his site interesting, because he (thankfully) has figured a few things out in the last 15 years. I'm going to start 'leaning in the direction' of the diet and see how it goes.

    I just checked this book out from the library, and read it last night. I'm type A. A lot of stuff resonated with me. I'm already mostly vegetarian anyway, and a lot of the other things made sense, but then some stuff didn't. He recommends that Type A avoid casein (and most dairy), but mentions that a few fermented dairy things are good (??). He also tends...

    I definitely have gastroparesis, and that diagnosis came a year after being strictly gluten-free. About 4 months later I discovered I had several food allergies, and I thought that was the cause of the gastroparesis. It wasn't. If I'm gluten- and allergy-free and do my best to eat what I need for my gastroparesis, I'm mostly okay. Still have good days and...

    I'm glad I saw an allergist. I could tell that there were things I was eating that were not going well for me, but I was getting really frustrated trying to figure out what. I would never have suspected most of the things on my list, though I did suspect corn. It was a great starting place.

    I'm coming up on two years being gluten-free now, and I have found how much I love cooking, and Asian cuisine. It makes my life happy. From the day after Thanksgiving until December...27th, though, I was *angry.* I just couldn't help it. I couldn't figure out what was wrong with me, and why I wasn't getting "In the Spirit." Then it occurred to me that...

    A year after being paranoid about being gluten-free, I still was not feeling better. So, despite my primary care doctor and my gastroenterologist thinking allergy testing would be useless, I went ahead anyway, just to see. It came up with "2" on beef, chicken, eggs (whites & yolks), bananas, carrots, corn and a "3" on milk. Eliminating those, I'm...

    My co-worker gave the office chocolate oranges. Just as he was getting to me, I was preparing to smile and say "I'm sure my husband will love this!" when instead he handed me a Smith's gift card. It was SO thoughtful, and he's only worked here six months.

    I'm with you. I could not ask for a more supportive and awesome husband. From day 1.

    I've done really well with Honey Baked Ham, too. Good stuff.

    I will always and forever miss E.L. Fudge cookies. <sigh> Sometimes I miss Fig Newtons, but I've found a gluten-free recipe that suffices when I'm craving those.

    Check out your University's Disabilities department on campus. It's probably easier to deal with it locally than nationally.

    I completely 100% agree with how annoying this is. "Well, So-and-So can eat _______," with the unspoken follow-up statement being "so why can't you?" Drives me crazy.

    Thanks for responding. I just got the test (and a gallbladder ultrasound) done on Wednesday, and my follow up with him is this coming Wed. He didn't talk about the reasons behind it at the time, but I'm sure we'll talk more about it this week.

    I have had this problem for a while now. My gastroenterologist actually thinks it's gastroparesis. I got an upper right quadrant ultrasound (history of gallbladder issues on my mom's side) and a gastric emptying scan yesterday. I go back to my ge next Wednesday. It may not just be a food issue.

    This made me laugh out loud at work. On (a very, very rare) occasion, my husband (who is Superman when it comes to eating gluten-free with me at home) will have a bag of circus animal cookies or a box of Whoppers. I don't really miss them until I see them, but to prevent my habit of just munching on them, he'll write 'poison' on the bag or box, and it makes...

    I have an undying passion for Hot Tamales. Yum.

    I can relate to this. I was diagnosed May 2009. I've been gaining weight, despite eating lots better and I'm now starting a running program, though I walk pretty regularly. I feel better than I did before I got diagnosed, but I still don't feel great, and it's a different kind of not feeling good. I'm going to see a gastroenterologist in two weeks, so I'll...

    Maybe this is cheating, but I just use Calrose rice when I make risotto. Turns out great, still a little bit of a bite. Mmm... risotto...

    I can relate to this. My 1st year anniversary is in a couple of weeks. Sometimes I feel like I *just* got diagnosed, and sometimes I feel like I've been doing this forever. It's really weird.
