    Much to my surprise, Tostitos multigrain scoops are gluten free. What a fun treat! HOWEVER, tostitos multigrain "normal" chips are not!!!!! Guess who figured this out the hard way, and too late, of course. It's one of the things that was burned into my head when I was first diagnosed - always always always read labels. Formulations change, etc....

    There is a really good group in LA. It's a yahoo group, and they meet about once a month in various places. I am going to see what I can do to get you hooked up with them, if you think that could help?

    ARCHIVED Grrrrr Powerade

    tictax707 replied to RonSchon's topic in Sports and Fitness

    I am sorry to hear this. I think that these replenishment drinks are best when you have them during or after your workout. I would stay away from powerade if you don't really like it, but I would also suggest that you rehydrate immediately after your workout with your chosen electrolyte drink. And you are right, after a lot of sweating you DO need more...

    I don't know why either, but know you are not alone. I hate how I feel thatI am just getting more and more sensitive to more and more things. I used to be able to eat things that had flax or gluten free oats, but now they wreak havoc on my system. I wish there was a way to stop it. It's hard enough eliminating gluten, and for me, dairy.

    I second Adalaide in that you just have to figure out what works for you. For me, I have to avoid flax meal because it makes me bloated and gassy like you said. Sucks because flax is in a lot of gluten free stuff now, but oh well...! I'll cross my fingers for you though!!

    I have colitis, and when it flares up I can't tolerate fruits or veggies. Sometimes lots of raw fruits/veggies can trigger a colitis flare up. I also can't handle stuff like flax or inulin. Beans are pretty much out, and I harbor an almost irrational fear of lentils. I can have wine sometimes, other times it messes me up BAD. But ultimately for me...

    When I had my endo done, I was sick, but it was only for a few weeks. I was sure I had some crazy bug, because before that i was relatively ok. Although looking back I did get sick on and off mysteriously, although not often. point is, I was flat as a pancake too. But I just had another endo done last year (6-7 years post diagnosis) and everything had...

    If saltines used to work then I would suggest gluten free pretzels - glutino makes some good ones as goes ener-g. because of the crunchy texture of pretzels I can't really tell a difference from normal. I am a colitis sufferer as well. Have you tried herbal teas? I found those to work well to settle my tummy too.

    I totally feel your pain. It's so frustrating! I too, have problems with other foods sometimes, even if they are gluten free. But ultimately I just pay attention, like you are, and note that maybe the veggie/garlic combo is not for you and avoid it in the future. Maybe you can pick off the veggies & garlic for lunch? It's all kind of lame, but it...

    I know what you feel like, being afraid of food. It totally sucks. But I would advise not to go overboard with your conclusions. Along the way you will find there are just some foods your body just doesn't like. Quinoa may just be one. Maybe there's too much protein in it for your body to handle in that form. who knows. Give yourself plenty of time...

    I posted this on my facebook page. SO FUNNY! watch, it'll go viral.

    One comment about bringing your own food. I have had problems in the past where restaurants (several different ones) have *not* let me bring my own food. They say it's a liability or some weird thing. I don't understand really. And believe you me, it's awful to be stuck in *that* situation. One restaurant did allow me to bring my own food but they made...

    oh this is tough. I second the above post. Make sure you eat your most favorite yummiest, delectable meal you can think of beforehand. whatever you want. And dessert waiting is key. I am so so sorry that your friends are not more supportive at the moment. I've wrestled with the whole eating out question before and my answer often varies. Sometimes...

    Hi! I am not 100% sure I understand your question. You were wondering if not being able to have gluten impeded gains with exercise? Because at the end of your post you said that you can now jog every day when you used to not be able to. That's a gain, isn't it? I can say for me personally, I've gotten much stronger and faster after getting into the...

    LOL!!! So true!! I'd make a big huge sandwich with lots of meat and good extras, and then the e-nerg bread. Or a rich rich chocolate brownie with ONLY bean flour. I'd know who the culprit is for sure because we'd smell him/her tooting away in a short while. double whammy.
