    It's very likely the test was not accurate because you did not eat enough gltuen for long enough time. It is possible to have both celiac AND a wheat allergy. It is also possible for you to have non-celiac gluten intolerance which cannot be tested for via biopsy. I have both except that mine was discovered in reverse. I did an elimination diet and when...

    I use EnerG brand Tapioca flour and EnerG Potato flour too. They have the worst bread in the world but their flours are fine.

    Did you by any chance change the brand of tapioca flour you were using? I have found that not all tapioca flour/starch is the same. I have a pizza crust recipe I make with tapioca flour. When I use tapioca from the Asian store it's like mixing concrete it's so thick. When I use EnerG tapioca it's much better--still think however it's mixable. I would...

    We had Chicken fried steak, mashed poatoes and spinach. All smothered in gravy. Good ole Southern Comfort Food.

    Oh, absolutely. I told my friends what was going on with me too. I asked my church and sunday school class to pray for me week after week. And for months when I couldn't make it to church anymore my husband went and told them what was going on. But that doesn't mean they really KNEW what what going on. People that are healthy or have never had that type...

    I went through something similiar except that in my case I wasn't able to keep sending cards and attending things. I hardly knew what day it was sometimes. It was a big eye opener for me when people I had known for over 10 years (I'm 31 so that is a large chunk of my adult life) stopped calling me or asking how I was doing. Even worse, was one time when...

    Are you counting calories? This may not make sense, but do be sure you are getting enough calories. If you eat too few your body may stay in starvation mode and hold onto the weight longer. Also make sure you are getting some good fats. You body needs some fat to function properly. Eating just egg whites may not be good for you persoanlly--your body may...

    I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for but here is a recipe I have been wanting to try: Open Original Shared Link Just be sure the buckwheat noodles are only made with buckwheat flour. Some of the Western versions add wheat.

    How big is her room? Can you hang some heavy blankets around the bottom of the wall so she can't get to drywall? Another otpion of course is to add wooden paneling but that would be more permanant and costly. I'm thinking if you have a bunch of old blankets or sheets you can just nail them right into the wall (putting the nails high enough so that she...

    Turkey burgers and sweet potato fries.

    I have that reaction to Sudafed--the heart racing and wide-awake, feelign like I could run a marathon or liek I just ingested a large amount of caffiene. My chest hurts for days afterward. I wonder if we could be reacting to the dyes in some meds? I also get really, really emotional from pain meds that don't knock me out. Like, my husband could tell...

    The low carb diet could explain your symptoms. Do a google search for "candida die off symptoms" and you will see all the things you mentioned. If your dr won't test for candida or give you antifungals you can also try taking natural antifungals (vitamin supplements) in addition to a strict low carb diet. But do try to get the testing first because natural...

    Thanks Burdee. Other than the onions and tomatoes I have not had any of those foods or drugs for the past week. I will avoid onion and tomato and see if I can heal it. I do eat a lot of fats but mostly good fats like lean meat (chicken and turkey), avocado, and olive oil. Could egg irritate it? I had some scrambled eggs yesterday and noticed they were...

    Oh my YES! I take one Benedryl and I am knocked out. I can't keep my eyes open. If I take two Bendryl I will sleep for at least 12 hours and be really groggy/strugglign to wake up for the next 48 hours. I can't take strong pain killers (Opiate-based) without really severe reactions. The only things I don't really have trouble with is Ibuprofen and Pepto...

    Thanks Roda. I also have to avoid oats, even CC from gluten free oats (can't do Bob's Red Mill products). One of my suspected triggers was Rice Krispies and while I now think they are gluten-free I'm not going to eat them again for a very long time. I have not been able to find out where they are processed. They may be made in the same facility with gluten...

    As long as you are getting stool sampling done you might ask them to test for candida and other fungal infections. I have read those white flecks can occur during candida die off. You haven't by any chance been eating mostly low carb have you? If it is a fungal infection you may need some strong anti-fungals to fight it in addition to diet.

    I'm sorry your having such a rough time. ((Hugs)) Do you need the tests in order for your family to cooperate in keeping her gluten-free? Is there anyway you could just make her gluten-free because she is making you sick and then have her tested later when she enters school and starts eating gluten there? I know that might delay the inevitable as far...

    Have you seen those electric cigarettes that put out water vapor instead of smoke? I have friends that have used those and loved them but I don't know if the nicoteine they deliver is gluten-free. It might be somehting else to try anyway. I'm allergic to the adhesives in most bandages too and there's not way I would "just put up with it". Try a different...

    For the past week I have had heartburn/acid reflux bad no matter what I eat or drink. For the past two days it has felt like I've been punched in the gut, only the pain is mostly above my navel and all the way up to the top of my throat. I had been drinking a lot of soda lately and I decided to cut that out last week. Problem is, I'm hooked on the caffiene...

    I know. At least they were honest when I asked and told me they don't remcommend I eat there if I have a "serious gluten allergy" (I mean, really the fact that they used the word allergy in relation to gluten tells me they know nothing) BUT I shudder to think how many people didn't ask and just trusted that something that says gluten-free was safe.

    No, I live in VA. If I'm ever traveling in that area, However I will look it up! Sounds amazing! I have a few bakeries around me that make "gluten-free" baked goods but they are made in the same pans and with the same equipment in the same space as their gluten breads and cakes, etc. I really wonder why they bother to offer these options that are not...

    I agree! I think we should flood the company with e-mails and phone calls asking why their "gluten-free" food contains gluten ingredients. Afterall, it's not as if gluten-free soy sauces don't exist. The company could easily make a change to gluten-free soy sauce or wheat free tamrari if they really cared about catering to the gluten-free community. Other...

    Your friend is very smart to know to watch out for you. The only way I would consider going someplace like Subway is if they started having gluten-free breads and prepped everything gluten-free at a separate station, changed gloves before hand, etc, etc. There is a place caleld Jason's Deli that I have heard does a good job at some locations (they have...

    I understand the concern and I do believe it is real. I have gotten glutened by Chick-fil-a fries that are supposed to be made in a dedicated fryer. HOWEVER, it was my fault for not asking about the fryer and going during a busy time. I have sinced learned there are in fact many places (as mentioned by some pp above) where they fry nothing but fries. ...

    At my library they have a computer station set up that is JUST for reserving the computers. You go up to the station, scan your card and it prints off a little slip of when your time is for the next available one. You can also reserve before you go but if you are not there within 5 mintues of your time, your reservation is given away to the next person...
