    Hi there forumers, It's been a long time since I last posted, and thought I'd add an update to how I'm doing. I'm still as sensitive to gluten as ever - although my stomach symptoms when I get glutened are generally mild, brain/mental issues are still severe. I'm now tolerant of soy, I can eat soy-based products without any issues, whereas...

    ARCHIVED Gluten Ataxia

    Marz replied to Marz's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Oh hey, I just another look at this article, and the lady on which it was based commented an update on her progress. She also left her email, if anyone would like to contact her. Great news is she's slowly getting better! Open Original Shared Link

    Something you might want to try - the nightshade family of veges used to make me horrendously nauseous a year or so ago. And it used to start 2 hours or more after the meal, so I never made the connection until I gave up my lunch salad and the nausea went away. When I examined my food journal I noticed the pattern. Even now and then a big salad with lots...

    My symptoms deal with both C and D, so I usually take 1 or 2 Magnesium complex tablets for a few days after the D has stopped to try avoid the inevitable cramping/bloating/C that follows Other than that, I've also tried Ibuprofen, and sleeping extra to sleep through the worst of it. In fact I usually pass out anyway because I get exhaustion/dizziness...

    Celiac Remission

    Marz commented on Skylark's blog entry in Skylark's Blog

    Hi Skylark, This topic is quite interesting to me. I actually have a colleague that insists he was severely gluten intolerant (And was avoiding all gluten as it made him very sick). However, he says, after a few years as a vegetarian (and gluten free because of said symptoms), he returned to eating wheat and found he was "cured". He encourages me to...

    We're seriously thinking of immigrating to New Zealand, so trying to get as much info as I can about gluten-free options. Looks like Coles and Woolies are the best, are they in NZ as well as Aus? Looking forward to making a big move

    My stainless steel stuff is fine, I did get rid of non-stick pans and cutting boards. Are you sharing a toaster with gluten bread? Someone in the family double-dipping knives into jam or butter containers? Pet food - possibly handling pellets and then some other food item? I had to clean drawers out carefully and fridge doors - somehow a lot...

    So around 30 min to an hour after I had a cappuccino from the cafe at work, my stomach started exploding. With fears of food poisoning, I contacted my hubby who said he was fine from our shared lunch. The coffee at work has usually been fine, maybe a bit of discomfort but nothing like this! I suspected the worst... And asked a colleague that was in...

    Glad you found a new friend May she give you many years of joy and love!

    Oh my god Raven, I'm so sorry I started crying when I read your post, that's such a tragic thing to happen... Is there anyone you can talk to or rely on for some support until you get through the grief? And yes, pets are family, don't let anyone tell you otherwise, it's just a pity they have such a short time with us.... Sending you lots of hugs, hope...

    There are laws in place, but it's pretty much "self-regulated" which makes me very wary Some new labelling regulations were put in place the last year or two, and companies had until March 2011 to comply. Some companies just went with "Not suitable for people with celiac disease" which upsets me greatly as they didn't have wheat/gluten listed before...

    Oh man, that sounds bad So sorry you got hit badly, hopefully now she realizes how sensitive you are and looks out for you better? Hope you feel better soon...

    Nothing like a bit of unintentional glutening to remind you every now and then that "Yup, definitely gluten intolerant..." The worst part is I checked all the ingredients carefully, and everything looked fine, they even mentioned "maize flour" so I thought they were nice to use a gluten-free starch for once. And I was in a rush.... never ever be in a rush...
  14. Marz
    I think of it as "gluten poisoning" because it's not unlike real food poisoning :/ I would also use the word "contamination", don't see anything wrong with that "Glutening" is probably the kindest way to phrase it, if people are really that sensitive about the details. They wouldn't want to hear about the result of a glutening then I take it - also...

    Well done Sammy It can take a while to heal, but you're already seeing improvements so you must be on the right track! I think the hardest part was starting the diet, staying on it once you've got the hang of it is easy in comparison. Most people don't even try, and suffer with their symptoms rather than trying out the diet. Also - I found that I...

    Thanks Marilyn I'd really encourage you to try a bit of milk, like Rob said - you might be able to handle some small amounts of cheese at first. Quinoa also kicks my butt, no idea why. I haven't tried certified gluten-free oats yet, too scared of the reaction! I had some non-gluten free oats once, and my reaction was ugly... not sure if it was gluten...

    Thanks for the reply Not sure if you noticed, it was a year ago that I posted this. I was still trying to get a handle on what was upsetting my stomach. Since then my gut has healed up and I can eat dairy without a problem. Still have problems with soy though.... I don't think I could ever go vegetarian, I feel like my diet is too restricted as it is...

    Read through some of the comments on that BHA link before, and one of the commentors said they got this response from the company: "We apologize that are our first response did not fully answer your question. Our Gluten Free Chex cereals are not produced in a gluten free facility. We do, however, ensure against cross-contamination with gluten-containing...

    I've been eating the Nature's Path rice and corn cereals, and no reaction so far I mix currents, nuts and flaked coconut with it, tastes awesome Would also be interested if anyone reacts to this?

    I get a low grade fever when I get glutened, either a few hours after, or the next day sometime, along with chills and the big D. Low grade fever can continue even when D has stopped, it's quite weird. Before I went gluten free, I kept on getting the chills/fever feeling, and wondering what the hell was wrong with me!
  21. Marz
    Hoo boy, definitely suspect your vitamins, or any digestive enzymes you might be taking. Any supplement might be suspicious. I assume you've already checked medication (especially anything you take daily) and even anything you touch - body lotions/soap/shampoo - you won't eat it obviously, but small amounts can ride from hands to fruit that you're eating...
  22. Marz
    Bleh, sorry it's not working out as well as you hoped Is there any food you can get that you know is 100% safe that you can just eat every day - might be bland but who cares if you're feeling OK? I think small focused trips might be more enjoyable than long trips trying to do everything at once, though that's probably what you're already doing.....
  23. Marz
    +1 to this - do companies even bother to test their "naturally gluten free" products, especially if they're made in a gluten-free facility? Why bother if there's "no risk of contamination". Add to that the below 20ppm rule, and it's makes for some very confused sensitive celiacs :/ I can't eat any of the sorghum flour brands, tried everything I could get...
  24. Marz
    An update on this - apparently the "local" version of this product is made with fortified wine in addition to the marula fruit (Not mentioned anywhere on website or in their response!). Exported product is higher quality and not wine-based. Apparently the taste is the same, but the former allowed them some tax loop-holes (Go figure!) and a higher production...
  25. Marz
    Yup, symptoms can take a while to reappear - when you're doing the gluten challenge, eat at least three meals with gluten in it, for a week or longer. And make sure you've been properly off gluten for at least a month before you do so - your body can take a while to heal, and if you don't give yourself long enough, you may not notice a difference in the...
