    :lol: Now I like this response! Not that I'd say something like that the first or second time someone asked me why in the world I now have to eat like I do, but....for crying out loud, if I were in your situation, where no one seems to want to accept it, I like the right-between-the-eyes response. But then sometimes my bluntness shocks people anyway...

    I've been g.f. for just over 2 weeks now, and instead of feeling better, I've been feeling worse. I'm always tired, but this past week I've been so exhausted and out-of-it, sometimes it's literally hard to walk from one room to the next. Which is pathetic, as my house is only 700 s.f. And when I arrive in the next room I usually collapse on whatever piece...

    I don't mean to sound rude or crude, but have you been tested for parasites? I know that that's a disgusting thought, but I once read an interview with Ann Louise Gittleman, in which she talked about how, as a Nutritionist (and she has other abbreviations after her name which I can't decipher!), she ate all the right foods; only whole, organic, healthy-as...

    Same here! It's bad enough I've been on the hunt for g.f. beer (found some, too!)!

    Funny--I was just remembering how Central Market was the only place I could find light buckwheat flour in their wonderful health food section. So I was trying to determine if it would be cheaper to make the looong drive there and pay their astronomical prices, or pay the astronomical prices online plus shipping cost. If it turns out to be cheaper to go there...

    One of the articles on the website for Pacific Health Center in Oregon says that celiac disease is much more common in N. and central Europe and N. India than in the States. As an example the article specifically cites Ireland, claiming that celiac disease is about 8 times more common there than in the States. On the other hand, in my research the other...

    Well, isn't this just great! I've realized I need to clarify something here. I found the article re. iron deficiency that I referenced above, from the Nov. '09 issue of Better Nutrition (which incidentally is the mag that recommended this site). One of the monthly features in this mag is a g.f. feature written by nutritionist Melissa Diane Smith. In this...

    That's great that you'll be getting discounts at the supermarket! So, do the stores there in Australia tend to carry a lot of certified g.f. products? I live in a small town; sort of near Seattle but definitely not near enough to make driving or taking a ferry all that way worth it! So consequently, it's hard to find much in the way of g.f. food or even a...

    Hi Snapdragon! I'm sorry I have no idea which exact tests for the panel you should ask for, as I haven't been tested, either....but someone here will know. I was reading your post and thinking, This could have almost been me. I just did my first post yesterday, the one where I was asking about the oat flour, and several of the things I mentioned coincide...

    I think I'll check out Enterolab. Thanks for all your help. It's good to be somewhere where there are others like me! When friends and acquaintances ask what's wrong with me, why do I always feel so lousy, never able to do anything, and I 2 or 3 of my various health problems, they look at me like I'm from another planet! I never make a.m. appointments (not...

    The problem there though is that I don't have insurance....we're self-employed, and I'm trying to convince my husband that at least some type of a high-deductible, catastrophic policy would be nice! I pay cash for all my dr. visits, and when she orders blood work, the lab lets me make payments. She was trying to save me a small fortune by not having me...

    Bob's oat flour--could that be why, after 2 weeks on the "challenge diet" or whatever they call it, I feel no different? I just now registered after having read several posts, and I must say, it sounds as if I've found a lot of kindred spirits here! I was always a sickly child....always getting the flu (and always the worst kinds w/high fevers and...
