    I'm shortlisting your symptoms here: -severe abdo pain with vomiting -constipation -diareah -left sided cramps -bloating -fatigue -aching joints/bones -balance problems -foggy head I've heard people on this board relate every one of your symptoms to gluten except "left-sided" cramps and vomiting. That is remarkable considering how long (&...

    I've never canned or preserved. I never had the space or the time before. But I think I could find some space now for jars of pesto or chutney. : ) Do you have any ideas on how to begin?

    I was surprised to see this. Why do you say that Takala? It seems like many here regain their energy on the gluten-free diet. Is this generally the consensus?

    I had to withdraw from gluten too, like many others. I felt like a heroin addict. I had sweats so bad that my face was drenched, then chills that made me take to wrapping myself up in a mountain-weight sleeping bag and still feeling cold. I didn't go out of the house at all for a few days. It was awful. There is an end.

    I think it very well might be the wine. I didn't have any alcohol for two months. I had some wine two weekends ago on Saturday night, and was sick starting on Monday morning. I had some wine last Saturday night, and was sick starting on Sunday night. The timing between drinking wine again and my sudden reactions are conspicuous. On the one hand, I'm relieved...

    Update: It happened again. I bloated suddenly again last night after eating dinner. Today I woke up with cramps and a sore throat. I'd speculate that the sore throat indicates not just difficulty with digestion but an actual immune reaction. Here's what I ate: -pureed carrot soup, with buttermilk -kale, corn, cherry tomato salad with a simple vinaigrette...

    ARCHIVED Nutella

    When I feel like a treat, I sometimes add a spoonful to a bowl of yogurt - easy, delicious & still somewhat healthy.

    What a wonderful list, Skylark! I miss gooey, piping-hot bread straight from the oven! A rare event even before I went gluten-free, but one of the best. I did have gluten-free bread at a restaurant once (in Poughkeepsie, NY, the Artist's Palate) that was served warm and had a similar texture. This was a one time event though, but one I cherish. ; )

    Tonight we had: -pureed carrot soup (shallots, carrots, veggie stock, buttermilk, nutmeg, chives as garnish) -kale (blanched first), corn kernel & cherry tomato salad with a dressing made of thyme, apple cider vinegar & olive oil -roasted potatoes with a vegan pesto (yes, it can be done! substitute Brewer's Yeast for the cheese) Good times...

    Thanks for the ideas everyone! I still have a gooey mess on my counter and clothes, but am thinking to try some of your suggestions.

    Ok, not quite a baking/cooking question, but I know that a lot of you use xanthan gum too. I spilled it everywhere - all over the counter, my Vitamix, my clothes. : ( If you use it, you know it's really gummy. It's gummed up now, and I can't seem to get it off of everything. I even looked online for hints, but nothing. Anyone? I would be sooooo...

    We eat Indian-spiced popcorn regularly. I sprinkle stovetop cooked popcorn with salt, cumin, coriander, and chili pepper (all to taste). My father-in-law (born in Mumbai!) loves it. Great thread. I'm going to try adding some wasabi powder and ginger powder to popcorn soon!

    No, I'm not. It could be so many things, seems like. But I'm cycling through the stages of being glutened: first, bloating & cramping, then chills, muscle aches, and now sore throat.
  14. lucia
    Turns out that it could be a gluten reaction to the vinegar in the ricotta too. It's possible that the vinegar was 1) made from wheat and 2) not distilled (which would make it safe even if it had been made from wheat). So many possibilities. Eating is like a digestive minefield. Well, I am definitely suffering.

    I woke up this morning with bloating and cramping. I didn't even need to eat to trigger it. Since the symptoms yesterday started immediately after breakfast, I'm guessing it was this meal: ricotta cheese (new brand) plums flax seeds drizzle of honey I'm guessing now it was the ricotta cheese: Milk, Whey, Vinegar, Salt, Xanthan Gum, Locust...

    This is a very funny post

    I posted about bloating and cramping that began immediately after breakfast, then was triggered by lunch and dinner. I accidentally erased the original post, but have posted with more details below.

    I'm reading "Figuring out Fibromyalgia" by Ginerva Liptan. It was published in 2011, and is written by an M.D. who has FMS herself. Research now shows that people with FMS have "leaky gut" (like some with celiac, especially when first diagnosed). That means that foods are slipping through the barrier of the small intestine that otherwise wouldn't. These...

    That sounds delicious! Chipotle infused honey with mangos - yum! I think you may have given me a gift idea for my husband's birthday. He loves honeys, and he loves chipotle - I know he'd be thrilled to eat them together.

    It's a relief to read this. I've been gluten free for 1 and 1/2 years now, and I know my body is not 100% healthy yet. I have started wondering if there's something else wrong (another autoimmune condition?), because the information I see out there all says if you don't get better than it must be something else too. Even Dr. Peter Green's book from the Celiac...

    My new favorite late summer breakfast is: ripe apricots, ricotta cheese, flax seeds and/or toasted pine nuts with just a drizzle of honey.

    Sauteed summer squash with vegetable-style tempe & dulce (seaweed) with a tamari/sun-dried tomato sauce over quinoa and marinated cucumber dill salad Most meals in my house are vegetarian as well as gluten-free. I'm wondering if there would be enough interest to start a 'what's for dinner' thread for vegetarians? Or is that subgroup just too small...

    Your story sounds like so many of the stories of people on this board. The medical profession - at least in the U.S. - is inept at dealing with celiac and gluten intolerance. You already know that you have an issue with gluten. Trust yourself. These doctors are not trustworthy. Personally, I saw a GI doctor who was a teaching professor at one of America...

    I loved all of Anne Lamont's books about Rosie including her most recent, "Imperfect Birds".

    In retrospect, do you think these were all related to gluten? Even fibromyalgia? (I still have issues after 1 and 1/2 years gluten-free.)
