    Thanks. I guess that I'll go buy Bertolli. I wish that I hadn't already spent so much money on the other, but...oh well:)

    I used to keep a food journal, but i haven't done that in quite some time. I have thought about doing it again, but I eat so little that I would think that I could tell what is bothering me....but maybe not. And no...kids don't have gluten in the house or around me, and they are around me most of the time. The bday party was an exception. The bag is also...

    You are the one that I have had further questions to, because I'm starting to think that I'm at least in your ballpark of sensitivity...but I don't know yet. I am pretty sure that I react to 10ppm or even less, but I'm still working on that. I also don't know if my reactions to the known ppm are because I've already got UNKNOWN ppm in my system. I guess...

    Have you checked with the company at all about the equipment and cross-contamination? You are super sensitive like me, aren't you?

    I was using Spectrum Organics and I don't know where they are made. However, they process wheat germ oil on the same equipment. That information I just emailed a company about Villa Flor organic olive oilthat I have been using for a few weeks, and all they responded with was "There could be cross-contamination". So I don't know on that one. This oil came...

    One more.... I think I have been contaminated by the last 2 organic olive oil brands. Someone who is also sensitive on here mentioned Bariani brand, and that they did okay. I just ordered it from their website, and it was about $22 plus another $10 in shipping for one bottle. I don't prefer to keep spending that much money on oil, as I use too much...

    Okay, so I've been trying to figure out some possible contamination issues in my house. I just had a handful of Enjoy Life choclate chips and 20 min or so later...I feel sick. I didn't think that I had a problem with their stuff, especially since it's made in a gluten free facility. Could I be wrong? I am already glutened, so maybe I'm just having some...

    I have made my whole household gluten free. However, I have not made my family give up oatmeal. They eat it everyday. I cannot tolerate oatmeal, whether it's from cross contamination or just the oats. Do you think that I could get issues from just serving them oatmeal? I buy 2 different kinds (Fit Kids and 365 brand) of the single packets for my kids...

    I have a few nature's path products in my house. The only one that I actually eat myself is the rice cereal, but I did try the buckwheat pancakes. I am just trying to figure out the source or combined source of contamination in the last couple of weeks.
  10. shayre
    Thank you for your kind words. I think that I may have figured out that the olive oil (Villa Flor Organic)I have been using for the past few weeks may be contaminated, but I'm not sure. I called them yesterday, and they told me that there might be cross-contamination in their facility...oops. I just quit the last brand of olive oil that I was using because...

    shayre replied to running-girl's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis

    Could you tell me more? One of my Rheum docs also thought that I had borderline lupus. This was based on symptoms mostly (ie. photosensitivity, rash, blotchy skin, nose ulcers, muscle/joint pain). My ANA was normal, but another test came back off...and my primary doc said that it was lupus-like but not lupus. It indicated something systemic. I am also...

    Okay, may I vent please to someone who understands...or isn't already tired of hearing how bad that I feel? So, I feel horrible today, and I'm so frustrated about trying to figure out what is causing me issues! It's too overwhelming! I am cranky and irritable...and sadly just snapped...at my much deserving children:) I started feeling bad again a couple...

    I tried it too. I don't think that I did well with it. I tried it twice, and both times I think that I had mild effects. I will not eat it again. However, I always second guess myself and think that maybe it was something else.
  14. shayre
    I am still trying to figure this out too after almost 2 yrs of being gluten free. However, my symptoms are fatigue, brain fog, severe bloating, muscle and joint pain, nerve issues, facial flushing, maybe rashes, headaches, chronic severe constipation. Sometimes I only feel a portion of the list, and other times I get them all. I am guessing that it also...

    I am about to take an old prescription for Amitiza, because I'm desperate for some relief from c right now. I don't remember if it has gluten or soy oil in it. Does anyone know?

    If you are looking for good high-end face cleanser, moisturizer, toner and the works...Arbonne International is great and gluten free. They are a swedish company. They also have make-up and vitamins/supplement lines that are gluten free. I use the whole line of face product and have been doing it for about 5 yrs or so, because it's works the best on my face...

    Are there any restaurants with gluten-free menus or places to buy gluten-free food around Rockford, IL?
  18. shayre
    Going on my first trip to see family being gluten-free near Rockford IL. Any place safe to eat?
  19. shayre
    We will be visiting family soon that live near Rockford, IL. This will be my first trip there being gluten-free. Does anyone know of places to shop or restaurants? I don't want to pack a huge cooler if I don't have to.

    Hi. I did have my kids eating Annie's cheddar bunny crackers before we went gluten-free. They give the kids goldfish crackers at church and other functions to snack on, and he feel left out now. He wants the taste of those crackers. I have looked hard, but not found a gluten-free equivolant. Do they exist? I would think that would be huge money maker...

    I was in a local health food store today, and saw this NOW Pumpkin seed crunches. I am pretty sure it glutened me. I don't normally get bad digestive issues most of the time, but within half hour I was curled up in a ball on the couch. As the evening has worn on...I fell like barfing, belly turmoil, fogginess and hot flashing. I am assuming that I got...

    I just bought this cereal an hour ago to try, as I've not seen it before. Oh my gosh...I hope that it's okay. I already got glutened today with a new product. Let me know how you all handle it!!!!!!!!!

    I am a total newbie with cooking or canning. Can you give me the "low down" on canning? What do I need to buy? Where do I buy it? Processing the food? Cooking the food? Recipes? Does meat can well? Off of the bat, I was thinking pasta sauce, salsa, bluerries and strawberries, maybe some jelly, loads of applesauce, chili, carrots, green beans,...

    There is another doctor that I would also love to see. It's Dr Peter Green from Columbia University. He has made statements in a few article and gave lots of info in the Gluten-Free Diet book by the girl from Elizabeth Hasselbeck. Green wrote things in the foreward of that book So far what he has said...has fit me to a tee. For me...if I'm going to spend...

    In case anyone wants to know...I did add 1/2 cup of peanut butter to the mix. The consistency turned out to be the same as without the PB. The cookie mix has a strange taste, I think because of the arrowroot...but not sure. So they turned out okay. I guess that sensitives like me...BEGGARS CAN'T BE CHOOSERS:)
