    I like the idea of getting one of those yoga styrofoam rollers for my hips that was mentioned. Where might a good place be to purchase one? I bought mine at REI, but you might also find one on the internet. All the best,Megan

    Ugh, I can commiserate, although I am newly gluten-free. The pain was so bad at night, even though I was doing yoga every day. When I went gluten-free I started taking capsules by VegLife with flax,fish and borage oil. I also started with Health from the Sun calcium-Magnesium tablets. And my sciatica is now completely gone. Another thing that I found helped...

    Good idea! Widen the playing field!

    It's true. Maybe I can start off with only gluten-free men, and then kind of add back in the gluten-eaters as I try adding back other things I've cut out like cheese and nightshades.........

    Ha ha, okay, so maybe I WAS a little provocative But it IS honestly how I feel. Although I'm starting to think that maybe there aren't a lot of single celiacs out there.....

    Hi, I'm about two weeks into being gluten free. I've tossed everything around me that contains gluten, including my favorite lipstick. Now I feel somewhat safe, and I think I'm reluctant to risk exposure to gluten by dating someone who eats it. Is that terrible of me? I also don't know if it would be hard for someone who isn't celiac to understand what I...

    Ah, okay, thank you. Sorry, wrong word choice

    I posted on a topic where there is a lot of discussion currently, but my post isn't appearing, whereas the other posters are continuing to show up in a back-and-forth discussion. My post may no longer be relevant, because it is taking so long to post. How does the moderation work? Is it one person viewing a topic and allowing posts, or does each person have...

    Yes, basically what ravenwoodglass says. The article discusses that LSD was being used in 1948 to attempt to understand schizophrenia, because of its psychoactive properties. It mentions that LSD is derived from gluten grains. It then talks about Dr Curtis Dohan, and his research into the connection between celiac disease and schizophrenia, and how symptoms...

    There's a whole article in the current Journal of Gluten Sensitivity about the correlation between the symptoms of LSD ingestion, and schizophrenia, due to the commonality of psycho-active peptides from gluten grains, LSD being refined from ergot, a grain mold. It's an interesting idea.

    Oh, I like that strategy! I can imagine that working in a number of situations. And I was bummed, because I tend to trust Whole Foods more than most places. I wrote to the store afterward, and explained the situation, so hopefully their staff will learn about gluten intolerance. Thanks everybody for your responses, it really helps when I'm down:)

    I just had my first encounter in Celiacs training. I was at Whole Foods buying chicken breasts. The butcher behind the counter was pouring spices from a large jar into a bowl. When he came over to help me, he started to reach for the chicken. I said, "I'm sorry, I need for you to change your glove first" and he said "but I'm just making chicken.." and I said...

    I'm also worried about losing weight-I'm 5'11 and weigh 120; lost 5 lbs since I went gluten-free. I've been trying to add to my calorie intake by loading peanut butter on apple slices in-between meals.

    I'm not seeing malt diatase on the label. The product is Pioneer Gluten Free digestive enzymes and herbs. If you know it to have gluten, then I won't take it. I'm just confused, because I bought it as a gluten free product on the gluten free website linked to this website, so I thought it would be safe. I appreciate your advice on this.

    Watch out for Worcestershire sauce-it has soy sauce in it.

    Hi, I've been gluten free for 1 week, and also was feeling a little better,but then tonight felt horrible and nauseous. I had just drunk a vitamin water, so that was maybe the culprit, but I also had cheese for lunch, and apparently new allergies like lactose intolerance can come up as you detox from gluten. It's hard because you want to help your body, as...

    Thank you, everyone, for your answers. It is a little scary when it's all so new. I bought those enzymes from the gluten-free mall-do they carry products with hidden gluten in them?

    Hi, I've been off gluten for 5 days. Today I felt a little constipated for the first time in years. I actually had to think about what it was I was feeling! I had a firmer stool than in a long time, but with it there was a little bit of bright red blood. Is this just my passages getting scraped for the first time in a long time? I started taking the Pioneer...
