  1. Yeah most people wouldn't, but it does taste good I'll try that powdered wheat gluten though.. and I suppose barley is the best because then if i have a reaction i know its not wheat specific..
  2. I'm very serious, I used to eat wheat gluten as a meat alternative. They sell it at trader joes and it looks like that after you take it out of the package.
  3. Is there a wheat gluten alternative to this stuff, or is that what you would eat? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/dd/Wheat_gluten_(vegetarian_mock_duck)_2007.webp/220px-Wheat_gluten_(vegetarian_mock_duck)_2007.webp
  4. It would just be helpful if I could figure out which ingredient is the culprit. When i shop for food it's easier to avoid wheat than it is the entire gluten spectrum, so I want to know if I really need to eliminate gluten, or just wheat itself. Being sick for a few days is worth figuring out what it is and being able to shop accordingly for years to come...
  5. All the brands of beer bother me... I don't think all the people with wheat problems have the same sensitivity. This is what I know for sure: -Beer, especially wheat beer, causes allergic reactions in my body. -When I eliminate beer, wheat, and gluten from my diet for a month I feel fine -When I add back either bear, or wheat, I have reactions...
  6. I got tested for a bunch of things 2 years ago, and I can't remember if that was on the list or not, but now i don't have insurance, so I have to troubleshoot this on my own. The beer thing is consistent, and I know its something in there that's a problem, but it's hard to pin point anything else because I usually don't consume 6 slices of cake at a time...
  7. Unfortunately my problems flare up even when on a beer free diet.. the wheat beers are always worse, so that keeps me focused on wheat for now. I did wheat free diet in June and I felt good. I didn't avoid all the subtle gluten ingredients way down the ingredient list, but I made sure to avoid everything that was obvious. So I figure i'm probably on the...
  8. So there is one thing I know for sure; Beer, especially wheat beer, triggers an unpleasant reaction in my body. Based on this knowledge I want to conduct a test to see what my reactions are to: 1) The purest form of wheat (without gluten, if that exists) 2) The purest form of gluten (without wheat, if that exists) Based on this goal, I need help...
  9. I moved recently, so I dont have a prior relationship with this doctor. He keeps telling me its a mental thing.....
  10. The 30 minute reaction is sharp pin like pains in my hands, feet, and sometimes on my butt. The pains seem to correspond to hives forming, and my skin seems to dry out in those areas despite constant lotioning. In addition, I get groggy, my head can hurt a bit, my vision blurs a bit, and I get incredibly itching under my skin. It's an itch I cannot get...
  11. I haven't been checked for it, but I've read the symptoms a few times and while some are similar, the overall situation just doesn't feel like mine. My itching is my primary problem, and far outweighs any other symptoms. The joint pains and headaches are annoying, but the itching is driving me mad. If I had a regular job I would be out on disability months...
  12. I think I will exactly this. I need to really crack down and avoid anything in question for a significant amount of time. I do have insurance, but I have a very high deductible. If I really need something I can afford to pay for it, but I just don't want to spend needlessly on a hunch, you know? As soon as the rash reappears (its too faint...
  13. The rash doesn't come on quick actually. It's very delayed, and not consistent. Benedryl doesn't help at all, I think it used to, but it seems that I'm getting used to any meds that help.
  14. I've eliminated soy and dairy for about a week now, and peanuts for about 5 days. Do beans or other nuts cause cross reactions?
  15. Good to know. Is there such a thing as a peanut intolerance as opposed to an allergy? I was tested for an immediate reaction but it was negative.
  16. I'll summarize my situation that I described in a previous post. I've had severe itching all over my body for 8 months. In the last 3 months additional symptoms have become present. They include: rash, hives on butt/hands/feet/eblows (and sudden, but quick, pains where they are forming), hot skin, blurry vision, new headaches, stomach discomfort/gas...
  17. Sorry for the delayed response. My post didn't get approved for quite some time and I forgot what site I submitted it on. I have 3 tests now, and Id be glad to show them to anyone, but the doctors tell me that everything is normal. They state there are no deficiencies and that all values are in the proper range. Soy sauce has become a consistent...
  18. Here's my story. I'll try to summarize the best I can. ~ 8 months ago, I started itching on random areas of my body, especially at night. It was a nuisance, but nothing to be worried about, I attributed it to dry skin ~ 4 months ago, I started wondering why I continued to itch all over, and visited the doctor who said it was probably in my head (I...
