    I no longer subscribe to the whole "dairy isn't good for us" theory. Two years as a vegan (and 15 as a vegetarian) nearly destroyed my mental and physical health. I now believed pasteurized dairy isn't good for us, but raw milk is perfectly healthy- as long as you don't have food issues like I do! I think I'll cut out the unfermented milk products, and see...

    Okay. That makes me feel a bit better. I can go without milk, but it would be hard to give up ALL dairy products. I used to make almond milk and I love coconut milk so those are two good alternatives for me. I see what happens in a few days. Would you suggest, if I notice an improvement in a a few days, waiting a couple weeks then before doing a challenge...

    I did have a celiac panel done and it came back negative. I've been resistant to going dairy free because...well, because I love butter. I know I should. Would I have to cut out ALL dairy? Could I do yogurt and ghee? I wonder if it would help to just give up milk and see what happens. I have some friends that can eat cheese and other cultured dairy products...

    I've been gluten free for about two months and was wondering if now would be a good time to do a challenge and how to go about doing one. I've been VERY careful with my diet. Making nearly everything from scratch except those items I know are gluten free. I've only eaten out at Chipotle and made them change gloves and be VERY careful. I've brought all my...

    Okay, thanks. I'll check out some of those brands. I do try to stay away from sulfates and parabens. I wonder if I've been having skin problem lately because of the ingredients in my hair products and makeup. My scalp has been painfully sore with little bumps all over and I've been breaking out in weird pimply rashes on my face. I'll get rid of all my stuff...

    I may have spoke too soon. I just heard that vitamin E may be wheat derived. Is that true?

    I have OCD and have suffered from panic and anxiety attacks. That's what it sounds like to me. I agree with the previous poster. Sensitize yourself to going to the grocery store and buying a couple things. Keep doing that until you are able to do a whole trip and than bring a grandchild along. I've learned with my anxiety that you have to keep exposing...

    I've been gluten free for about a month or so now. I'm not a diagnosed celiac- just trying to figure out if I have a problem with it. I used some hairspray this morning that I haven't used in a few months and within twenty minutes my neck, collarbone and back of my neck all the way to the neckline of my shirt broke out with an angry red rash. There were...

    I don't think it's shingles. My sister had them and this is nothing like that. It's more itchy than painful. Only my scalp hurts but there is no outbreak there so I'm not sure what this is. I hope it's just some weird passing fluke.
  11. kimann79
    It is quite itchy. The ones on my face look like acne but there are a few (on my chest and back of my neck) that don't. I have added tapioca starch to my diet but I've had it before and didn't react like this. I've not really increased anything else in my diet. I've only taken away. Unfortunately, I don't have insurance so I can't see a dermatologist. I...

    I've gotten them regularly since I was five. All over my tongue, my cheeks, inside my lips and sometimes down my throat. Very painful. I would miss school because of it. I found that eliminating caffeine and artificial sweeteners reduced my outbreaks but I still get them fairly often- about once or twice a month. Right now my cheeks are a mess and I have...
  13. kimann79
    I have NEVER had problems with acne. Never. Not when a teenager, not when pregnant, nor during that time of the month. I went gluten free about three weeks ago and all of a sudden, seemingly within the last few hours, I have developed the worst case of acne I've ever had. I woke up with one zit this morning and now my face, chest and neck are covered. It...

    I'm going to try your bread recipe out. I really like that it uses no starches and is high in fiber. If that doesn't work I'm considering going grain free altogether and seeing if that helps.
  15. kimann79
    Hmmm...I only drink water and raw milk- sometimes herbal tea. I'm not dehydrated. No caffeine. I've been making all my own gluten free breads from scratch- so no processed foods. Lots of veggies and fruits (I used to be vegan and I eat a huge salad at least once a day.) I already take magnesium for a heart murmur and it's never once helped the constipation...
  16. kimann79
    I'm a bit frustrated. I've been gluten free for about 2.5 weeks. Within days of starting I began to have normal BM's for the first time in years. That lasted about three or four days and now I'm am severely constipated- worse than before! I'm tempted to make a loaf of whole wheat bread to see if it helps me go to the bathroom. I wonder if it is because:...
  17. kimann79
    There IS a lot of controversy over the issue. I figure it's better to be safe than sorry and it doesn't really take much more time to soak as long as you prepare ahead. I never even considered making a sourdough gluten free bread! What type of flours would you use for that? I LOVE sourdough and it was one of the things I felt most bad about missing out...

    I went gluten free on Saturday, so I'm new to gluten free baking. I'm a fairly experienced cook/baker. Up until recently I made bread and baked goods for my family every day. If you've heard about or read Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon you'll understand when I ask if I can soak my gluten free flours the same way I did wheat. Normally I would just...

    Ha! Replace my kitchen? We just did...totally remodeled it. There is NO way my husband will be okay with me buying new pots, pans and bake ware. I'll just have to scrub everything out really well. I think I'm going to have to not deal with any gluten containing products in my kitchen until I figure this all out. Which is fine with me because my three year...

    I'll check out her website. I made a pizza "dough" yesterday and I was horrified by the mixture. The recipe said it would look like soft white bread dough and at NO point did it! LOL. It did come out nice and crispy, though, and I was impressed with the texture. Thanks for the tip. Now, I just have to find someone to sell my grain mill to and by a new,...

    I went gluten-free Saturday and I'm beginning to wonder if it would just be easier and safer to just have a gluten-free kitchen. I do ALL of the cooking and baking. My kids and hubby are used to homemade bread nearly every day. I don't think it's wise for me to do anymore. I mean, I grind my own grains and the flour gets EVERYWHERE. We have butcher block...

    Thanks so much for the replies and clarifying about the differences. I went gluten free Saturday. I've had chronic stomach pain for so many years that I've grown accustomed to it and it has become normal to always have a stomach ache. I don't have the severity of stomach problems that some with gluten intolerance do, but it is always there...annoying me....

    Would a person with NCGI have to be as vigilant as a celiac in regards to cross-contamination or is eliminating gluten containing foods enough?
  24. kimann79
    Can gluten intolerance create the same severity of health problems as celiac? Would it be able to cause all those issues I have? If so, do I have to be as strict with gluten intolerance (assuming that is an issue for me- maybe it could just be wheat?) as someone with celiac? How would I know the difference? What exactly is the difference between celiac and...

    I cook pretty much everything from scratch anyway and I wouldn't touch soy (unless it is fermented) with a ten foot pole. I had dairy problems until I began drinking raw milk and haven't had any problems with that. I am taking iron and magnesium. I need to look into the other vitamins. Mine concern was that I wouldn't absorb those vitamins any better than...
