    if it can be of any help/ interest to someone: I think I don't react to the tapioca flour or other ingredient in pamelas mix, as I've eaten other things with them w/o a problem... but it may as well be the buckwheat! not 100% sure yet, but it seems like it... it isn't easy to figure out these things! but I feel like I am doing progress here

    thanks so much for your input! I just realize now that I've had buckwheat (Pocono Kasha) about a month ago...didn't seem to have a reaction back then (but I had very little, when these last days I've had a lot of stuff w/ buckwheat flour in it...) I still have some at home so I will try to recover first, and then try the Kasha again...trying to make...

    thanks to both of you. I think you're right, I'll try one made on dedicated equipment & see if it works better for me!

    Hi all I am 3 months gluten-free now, and doing much much better -most of the time. It's been a few days I feel like crap again (BM problems, skin rash, fatigue, brain fog...) and looking back at my food diary, I am thinking arrowhead mills buckwheat flour is the culprit (bought a pack last week, since then I baked quite some stuff with it. after a...

    hi! sorry I haven't come here for a while... I never sorted out if the mix got me or if it was something else...I just went back to baking my brownies from scratch and I am fine:) the basic recipe I use is pretty simple: melt chocolate (180g) & butter (150g) / mix eggs (3), sugar (150g) & flour (60g) / mix these two mixes, and then bake ...

    Yep! My brother and SIL had bought a BUNCH of nice french food for hubby & me, when we came back to Paris to visit the family a few months ago -like, 3 days after my diagnosis! I told them right away about the diagnosis & diet, they went with me through all the labels to see what I could have, put me a portion apart before serving things to...

    Hi all I am writing because I'm planning to go out for dinner (couldn't have imagined being stressed by eating out a few months ago ) first time since going gluten-free. I just want to take my husband out for a nice dinner for his birthday in a couple of weeks -we're french so we love good food, plus I think the whole gluten-free thing has been...

    Yep, I agree. I think a lot of us have been diagnosed w/ IBS before discovering the celiac thing... I am "only" gluten intolerant/ sensitive/ whatever, but I have to point out that before going gluten-free, absolutely NOTHING I tried -for several years- to relieve the IBS symptoms worked (be it water/ fiber intake, eating a very balanced diet, not too much...

    hi there I am really not a specialist about make up, since gluten gives me skin problems I avoided it a lot... But just in case it helps (?), here are the two products I use: -100% pure lip & cheek tint -it is gluten-free, though I know they have some other products with gluten in them (CC?). I use it for cheeks & eyes and haven't had a problem...

    I am sorry for you! it turns out, this is going OK for us -hubby came back 10 days ago... I had a hard time explaining cc and not looking like I'm completely paranoid to him...and he decided to stick to his first idea of being gluten-free with me (at home only) because he feels he would be overwhelmed if he had to watch all of his movements (cleaning...

    Hi all! I have been "diagnosed" almost 2 months ago...actually no firm diagnosis. My GP was not knowledgeable enough about celiac disease to test me for anything else than TTG antibodies I believe, which came back neg. In the mean time, he told me to go gluten-free and see. He was wise enough though, to tell me I probably am "intolerant, sensitive...

    Same here, I think if this persists you should talk to the doc...but it's probably nothing. 2 years I've thought my disappearing periods were due to my IUD (hormonal; this tend to be a secondary effect of it) But since (recent) gluten diagnosis, I've come to realize the periods thing began happening when I began noticing GI symptoms. Of course...

    Thanks for the advice! I spent a fair amount of time the other day, shopping for some new products... I think gluten isn't in THAT many products, but with the gazilion unpronouncable ingredients they put in it...I never know! Anyway, I think I found some safe: face cream (weleda)/ shampoo (everyday shea)/ hand cream (desert essence)/ handsoap (kiss...

    Jason, I agree w/ the above!! I am currently trying to find out about all my Burt's bees products...read some positive things about the lip balm/ creams & shampoo that I use...but as for the ingredients, I am still doubting the Tocopherol/ vitamin E, as I didn't get an answer if it was made from wheat...anyone knows?? Otherwise, I am very interested...

    That's adorable
  16. hypersof
    ok thanks for the replies! I guess it is not Pamela's then; I will check my food diary again, and see if there is anything else that could be the culprit. otherwise I'll consider it's probably the b. beans...too bad, I like them! but it is true that they always made me uncomfortable (I tried to introduce some again for diversity) nuts are not a...

    Hi all Just wondering if anyone has had a bad reaction to pamela's choco brownie mix in the past? Seems I got glutened from them?? at least my reaction was similar (bloating/ constip./ gas/ nausea/ swelling feet & hands/ skin rash/ brain fog etc.) The only other suspect in my diet since the last few days are black beans -seems they got me...

    Hi there! I am amazed by all your answers; thanks for the input I agree hubby shouldn't have to go gluten-free for me, but he's the one who came up with the idea (when he began realizing the extent of cc problems, mainly) and I won't complain because we currently have a tiny tiny kitchen...plus I do most of the cooking; I like it woooow,...
  19. hypersof
    I am sorry to interfere, I have no answer but related concerns...hope this is ok I was recently wondering about burt's bees products cause I use some, and a lot of them have tocopherol (origin not precised), so I contacted them and they replied I should check the ingredients, but that even for the products not containing gluten ingredients, they can...

    Hi all I am writing tonight, looking for some input about everyday life at home, regarding your significant other, his/ her reaction when diagnosed/ going gluten-free/ being glutenated etc...because I didn't really have to deal with that so far, but I will soon! >>I have been diagnosed about 6 weeks ago. The first 2/3 weeks were a bit...

    same problem here for the ups-n-downs! I keep hoping this is going to get more stable soon...on the better side! (I am "only" 6 weeks gluten-free) seems that when I feel down again, it can last anywhere from 4 days to 2 weeks Sophie

    Thanks for the brownie tips! It's been 3 days I feel so-so, not terribly awful, but not good. I miss feeling great! (don't really know if this was a glutening/ cc/ or just part of the beginner's ups-n-downs...) Anyway, I am thinking, a little gluten-free brownie won't hurt my mood And Nor_TX, thanks so much for the fairy dust!! We'll all...
  23. hypersof
    this could definitely be a cc issue. hang in there...and let us know if it gets better when you avoid the cafeteria! I feel like, apart from the cc, it is still normal to have ups and downs -part of the healing process... (depends also on how long you have been gluten-free?) Sophie
  24. hypersof
    Hi there Just to add my two cents. I am 6 weeks into the diet, and at times I wondered, too...and I realised recently that, although the "brick" is still coming and going, it is less and less present compared to what it was before -and the swelling is less extreme/ painful (except for accidental glutening!) Do you have a food/ symptoms diary? that...

    hi there, great advice again and actually, I just had the same idea than the "mass email": since my arrival in the US, I got a blog where I post some news for my family & friends...so a few days ago I posted a message there (explaining the basics of celiac disease, and cc) I am glad to hear your positive experience about this kind of thing...
