Thanks again everyone. I have taken many suggestions, cut out everything except for meat, vegies and fruit. Don't even miss my yummy food. The fruit I am eating is apples and pears baked in the oven. Vegies which include celery, carrots, peas, onions so far and I am cooking before I eat except for salad...that I am cutting up fine. I also am eating apple...

How can I say thank you from the bottom of my heart? Thank you so much. Just knowing that what I am going through has happened to others is huge for me. I have been so worried that I have made things worse but your comments make sense. But I am also worried... do I need a doctor to do this correct? For example I did not know that rice could be a problem...

First I have to say I admire all of you and your dedication to gluten free life. It was this forum that made me feel I could try to do this. I am about ready to give up on this diet I am soooo frustrated. This morning I actually made a list of pros and cons. Of course the pros were much longer with 90% of my symptoms decreasing. But the problem...

I stay away from oats ... I can always trace a reaction back to them.

Thank you... maybe the problem is that my child's doctor is a RA doctor for her raynauds.

I did ask for a full panel and I was told thats not how things are done to start. Do you think the Vit D is an indicator and if so should I ask for a full panel when they retest blood work in 8 weeks?

Also we have an extended family member DX with celiac

Hello, I have a family members results which the nurse told me were just fine, no celiac. Is she correct, how do the numbers look? I will just list the numbers in each collum, I am not sure what to look at The IgA is 0.00-20.00 <20 The IgG is 0.00-20.00 <20.00 FYI -result for Vit D is very low and on a dose of 50,000 IU for 12 weeks...

Hello, I will be seeing my OB for a yearly visit. This will be the first doctor I have seen since going Gluten, dairy and soy free. I am anxious about number one telling him about my diet and the reaction I will get. But in addition and this is where my question comes in should I ask for some type of test for my vitamin levels? I am still so fatigued...

Thank you all for your comments! The corn was packaged by some farmer, no list of ingredients, just packaged in a clear bag. The almonds were bought at marks, packaged by harrell nut company, no phone number. I am not on any medication, my stomach is just now tollerating fish oil gel pills, calcium plus V D3 and just today started taking a multi vitamin...

Hello, Been very careful past two weeks with gluten, dairy and soy free diet and just woke up with a reaction. Ankles hurt, fingers little numb, head heavy, tired and very tempermental. I only had a few different things in my diet yesterday that I will list. Do any of these items look like a red flag for gluten? White rice flour (I made Sue's white...

bekkaz, My symptoms are identical to yours! Fiannaly I don't feel crazy! I was diagnosed with IBS, symptoms exactly like yours when I was 17 now I am 38. My stomach pains are in the middle of my abs above belly button...so I question if IBS is a correct diagnosis for me. REgarding the belly, I am very thin and thought my belly was due to children....

To tell you the truth I am not sure. I have been diagnosed with IBS when I was 17, I am now 38. I have had so many additional problems this last year, belly pain, belly swelling, joints, numbness, anxiety, back, vision, concentration etc...that I decided to cut everything out after I read that IBS sufferers should remove gluten and dairy. So I just don...

Hello, I am trying to figure out what gave me a reaction this morning. (Reaction is my belly is swollen to look 3 months pregnant...I am a small person who weighs 106 and I am 5/6 tall.) After having gluten and dairy last Sunday I have finally felt better untill this morning. This is all I can think of that could have caused this reaction this morning...

Can I buy any kind of white or brown rice such as Giant eagle brand? Or is there CC issues? Is it safer to buy gluten free marked ones. Any advise would be greatly appreciated:)
