  1. I react to GNC products and all fish oils I have tried as well. I now avoid any supplement with tocopherols (or lecithin of course).
  2. Can you list your supplements (including quantities / dosages)? Maybe someone here can help.
  3. Interesting feedback. Thank you everyone for your responses. I have found that my seasonal allergies and reactions to food on my bad list go hand in hand. 2010 was my best year for seasonal allergies. I wasn't certain if it was just a mild season, or if my diet change had a positive impact. I am hopeful for 2011 now. Thanks again.
  4. Just curious.
  5. Make sure you also allow for some time between taking vitamins. That is, don't take your B12, B - complex, and others all at the same time. I have experienced the same feeling you describe (including your initial symptoms), and I got some relief from taking my B12 in the morning, my B-complex at lunch, followed by my multi at night. I was taking them all...
  6. What is your l-glutamine made from? Is it soy free? You may also want to look into the use of glutamine for those of us who have a sensitivity to MSG.
  7. You can try food-dictionary.com to find the descriptions of the mystery ingredients.
  8. B-complex deficiency can cause mouth ulcers, and of course is common with Celiac. Since you are working on getting pregnant, do you happen to be taking folic acid supplements? I think I remember reading somewhere that folic acid may mask some B12 deficiency symptoms, and may even lower B12 levels. I
  9. Fresh from the butcher.
  10. I am soy intolerant, and have managed to avoid (GI) symptoms for the past 6 months or so with the exception of two occasions. On both occasions, I have had completely safe foods for me. the only common link is that on both occasions, I had eaten pig products (pork tenderloin and bacon). If the pigs were fed soy slop, is it possible for one to have a reaction...
  11. SheaLynne, Thanks for sharing this story. I'm sure everyone here can relate to your story. I struggled with the label issue myself. I use the term "soy intolerant" on this forum because the folks here understand. In the real world, I have decided not to label myself (I have the same concerns as you). Instead, I just tell friends and family that soy...
  12. Peanut butter cups and reese's pieces used to get me pretty good (soy intolerance). Two of the few soy products I actually miss. I think peanut butter cups have wheat flour as well.
  13. I had dizziness, fatigue, neuropathy, and my heart rate was 48 (not nearly as low as yours). My B12 was at 258 at the time. I took 1000 mcg of sublingual B12 per day, and got my level up to 500. All of my symptoms improved. Even though your B12 level is low / normal, it may be worth talking to your doctor about supplementing or shots. Best wishes.
  14. I don't want to belabor the point, but... If one were to have hypoglycemia due to celiac / digestion related issues, it would make sense that your condition would improved gradually after correcting your diet. If one were to have a rumbling stomach, I would guess...1) that person is hungry and needs to eat 2) that person is having trouble digesting...
  15. Items 3-7 sound familiar to me. I borrowed a blood glucose meter from a diabetic friend for a couple weeks. I noticed that when my blood sugar levels were low, I would get 1. shaky hands 2. fatigue 3. headaches 4. difficulty focusing The hunger symptoms you describe also sound familiar. I would get a whole other set of symptoms when my blood sugar...
  16. Thank you for the reply. I haven't tried gluten-free because the elimination of soy made me feel so much better. Although, after reading your post, I think it might be worth trying. Thanks again!
  17. Lauren, This sounds very familiar to me. I am not celiac, but am soy intolerant. Just reading your ingredient list gave me phantom abdominal cramps For me, timing of cramping depends on the quantity and type of soy consumed. Large quantities = within 30 minutes, small quantities = next morning. Soy sauce, soy flour, and soy protein tend to be...
  18. Hello, I have a confession to make before I start posting here...I am not actually celiac, I am soy intolerant. I hope you don't mind me jumping into your forum, but there is no other place for me to go. I have had a look at this forum, and I've found so many similartities between celiac and what I have experienced. Here is the abbreviated version of my...
