I fully believe that all grains are damaging and if one is not reacting to them, it is only because just as with wheat,rye and barley, the sensitivity and damage has not reached the level that it can be recognized, YET. Just as we all ate those grains that fall within the generally accepted definition of celiac disease without awareness of how it was hurting...

You know, ah, maybe it's bc I am 'supersensitive,' but I cannot imagine myself infringing on another's health or, ever taking the chance of doing something that I know could even possibly make another person sick. It's just plain 'insensitive.' It's not like this disease is your option. I would have a very serious, well-mannered talk with them, trying...

I get glutened by even the smallest exposure. Smelling gluten in the air sends me into horrible fits of fibromyalgia. If you are still having problems, I would say get it as far away from you as possible - certainly NOT on your body.

Thanks, everyone. Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. For the most part, I've been asleep! My goodness! I do believe I'm taking the long road to recovery here. My headaches have gone away, but the brain fog still a constant. That said, I'll take whatever improvement I can get! And, I do feel some improvement and for now, I'll take your word...

Ok, ok, ok.... I have been gluten-free for about 8 months now - can't believe it's been that long! I have been pretty much down all this time. I couldn't even take care of my daily needs until about 2 months ago, but am getting much better since re-beginning the 10-12 vitamin supplements I have taken throughout my adulthood. (My doctor had told me to stop...

Hi, everybody, Tonight, I am concerned about my brain with good reason. I started complaining to my doctors about 5 years ago that I was having problems pulling words out of my head, had horrible short term memory and long term memory that became increasingly worse. Over the last year, I would be talking and suddenly sound like a robot running out of...

I have the same problem with swelling that you describe. Even my temples used to protrude a bit. Now, after 3 months, everything is much better, but still not great. I have dark circles under my eyes where the swelling used to be. I know how frustrating and intimidating it can be to look in the mirror and be aghast at what you see... not a good way to...

Does anyone have any preferences for which association to go with when starting a support group? Also, any suggestions for how to go about starting one or, your own experiences doing so would be appreciated. Much thanks.

Wow, your expressions of how you are feeling sound a lot like my own. Like you, I found myself tempted to exist off almond milk and juice for a few days there. I'm bored stiff with my whole foods diet, but have grown scared to death of adding in any thing new - gluten free or, otherwise. Seems every time I do, I have some sort of reaction - even to the...

I've been gluten free (except for the small, almost daily dose of yogurt I was erroneously feeding myself for the first 2 months) for about 3 months, now. I still walk around feeling like I am in a bubble, somehow, suddenly disconnected from the rest of the world and that this MUST be in my head or, I must be lost in a dream - dream-like state is more like...

I want a box of Zone Bars so bad! Almond Raisin, to be exact!

I can't help you with cheese and other dairy products, but definitely try almond milk. I have found it to be really refreshing. In fact, I wouldn't go back to cow's milk for anything. Go over your diet with a fine tooth comb and double check to make sure there aren't any gluten culprits among your foods. I couldn't figure out why I was getting worse...

Thanks for this info. My doctor ordered me off all supplements until my symptoms lighten up and I was wondering about how I could check for the appropriateness of each one.

You are most welcome.

I got this email today from Jafra and thought I would share it. I love these three gluten-free products. Please, note the list is of products CONTAINING gluten. Everything they carry which is not on the list is gluten-free. Thank you for your question regarding JAFRA products that contain Gluten. We have confirmed that the Royal Almond Body Lotion,...
