    I have one of those food sealers that I freeze most everything in, including soup. Some things, e.g., a piece of roasted chicken, can even be vacuumed sealed which really extends the freezer life. This is the unit that uses the plastic bags. I avoid excessively heating plastics as well, so I always make sure that food is cool before freezing and I never...

    There is no reason for a dentist not to be able to easily address gluten or other allergies. I was nervous too the first time I went for a check up since finding out about my gluten intolerance, but the morning of my visit, every label was checked and they even thought to make sure they wore gloves that had no powder additives, just in case. As I recall...

    I'm so sorry you're feeling like this. I know how frustrating this can be. It's happened to me and wound up being a bit of soy in a supplement that I had been taking all along, yet finally caught up with me- a cumulative effect I suppose. I removed it and felt 100% better within a day or two. Point is, it was something I didn't suspect. Have you reexamined...

    Shame on me for skimming over your original comments and missing the most tragic sentence. I'm glad you have started to follow the forum, because clearly you didn't realize what gluten is capable of doing. I can't say anything better and more directly than those comments above. I truly hope you read and reread those words, and please show the intelligence...

    This is a great explanation to a question I get asked alot. Thanks! I'm going to be quoting you on this!

    I developed PF not too long before I started with the initial gluten dizziness ten years ago. The foot thing took awhile to go away completely (I was a hard head), and I don't want it back. I never associated PF with gluten until now, but it makes perfect sense, since the foot doctor I went to at the time said it was caused by severe inflammation, and that...

    You sound strong and well-rooted in your own conviction and to what your own household's systems are reacting, and best of all, to what they are responding well. I'm so glad to pick up on that, because it's the most important concept here. I feel badly that your mother-in-law is having to endure the ignorance of others, but she sounds like an understanding...

    First off, welcome to the site. You're in good company to try to help you through figuring out what's going on. I know I've gotten to where I feel like everything is affecting me, in one way or another, but it always turns out to be one thing, or a SMALL number of things. Of course, you could have a true allergy to some or more of these food items, but...

    That was incredibly insensitive of him to say and I'm not someone who is overly affected by the thoughtless comments of others. I also understand why you were made to feel these things. But I'm not telling you this to commiserate, I'm wondering if this isn't a good time for you yourself to try preparing some special things just for YOU to eat. I'm no cook...

    When I first removed gluten from my diet I went through withdrawal too, and even though I myself had mostly dizziness and some intestinal discomfort (tummy troubles previously odd for me), it did pass. But I recall being more than a little alarmed, especially since many doctors don't believe you can have w/d symptoms from gluten. There are many many on...

    Do you try making your own concoctions? I use olive oil, apple cider vinegar (or champagne vinegar), honey, garlic and ketchup all mixed together and it makes the best french vinegarette. Or I insert dijon mustard instead of the ketchup and hold the garlic and I have mustard vinegarette. My favorite is homemade russian that uses a little more ketchup and...

    I totally agree with you Katrala. Instead of angsting over why people test negatively to celiac so commonly, we need to be using that known fact to develop a better understanding of gluten intolerance and the seriousness as an auto immune disorder. Until we open up our point of view on this, we're going to continue to have the frustrations AND DANGER with...

    This is a great question and I've wondered about this myself. In addition to being gluten intolerant, I am intolerant to milk protein (casein) but not lactose, and I have ALWAYS reacted to dairy with intestinal trouble - even though my gluten reactions were strictly neuro only. With the stomach aches I've had all my life due to dairy, I can't believe it...

    Seems like you perhaps reacted to the trace amounts of gluten in the gum and hadn't gotten over it before you ate the banana. Here's an add'l thought: I can't chew gum either, especially if it is mint flavored, peppermint flavorings the worst - I'll get nauseous immediately but it's usually shortlived. But I've always been like that, even before being...

    May be a bit of withdrawal or if you are being vigilant about any type of gluten cross contamination then you may have additional food sensitivities - very common. I recall feeling the way you do at first when I just stopped eating gluten, but it was suggested to me to try remvoing dairy and soy as well. Excellent advice, since I quickly found that...

    That's excellent info, thanks!

    It's an interesting thought since type O is the original bloodtype on the planet, and they only ate meat, vegetables, seeds & some roots, but I wasn't surprised to read that gluten intolerance is common across all blood types, and I think that's because the introduction of grain into our diets is relatively new by evolution standards. Perhaps if modern...

    But what if gluten intolerance is what should be studied and not just one carve-out of the possible effects? My problem with all of this is my belief in diligent advocacy and standing on the soap box for all of us who have tested negatively on biopsy for celiac 6 months before an Enterolab, but positively on that test for gluten antibodies, then saw wonderful...

    I know exactly what you meant and I agree that the word intolerance is unfortunate, and suggests that you may be able to eat it sometime here and there. I think this is perfectly illustrated by the person who started the thread. Sandsurfgirl, I know you know how serious gluten is. Cbochner, please consider all of this if tempted to ingest something that...

    With all I've read over the last 16 months about this, I believe that Gluten Intolerance should be the new paradigm for a the myriad of serious illnesses we are seeing as a direct result of ingesting gluten, even in small amounts. These serious illnesses include Celiac of course, and the scores of other health problems you read about on this forum, and that...

    ...that's a bit odd on that issue of nausea spelling - thought it might be a joke that went over my head... Anyway, back on topic. I find since I can't eat gluten/dairy/soy, that my previous cast iron stomach is very sensitive and finicky. Now I'll get nauseous at times even if it is A-1 certified free of any of those things. But supplements are the...

    I always cover with parchment paper just to be safe because an errant flying bit of pasta attached to the microwave ceiling could always drop down into your tea. But I often wondered about that ominous microwave "steam" as well, for example if it's from zapped pasta or something buttery that will make me react, and I DIDN'T cover my plate and put it...

    I react with the wierd lightheaded feeling within 5 to 10 minutes of ingesting gluten, dairy or soy. It subsides within 30 minutes to an hour. All neuro, I've not had much intestinal disturbance, perhaps because I always test new foods by eating a few bites and waiting. Or perhaps because gluten doesn't affect me that way.

    You are all making me hungry!!!! In addition to gluten, I can't have a trace of dairy or soy but luckily, Thanksgiving fare is so easy to keep free of all of those. 1. Turkey and homemade glace from stock and drippings 2. Fresh sweet potatoes with bourbon pecan glaze 3. Fresh cranberry sauce made with apples and honey 4. Special Jambalaya traditional...
