    Woooo hooooo! Thank you!

    Does anybody know a gluten-free version of Raisin Bran? I miss it so much.

    I don't personally have this experience, but since there can be silent celiac, I can't see why there couldn't be silent NCGI.

    Aw, the poor little dear.

    +1 for Billy Joel reference!!!! And yep...I think laughter really is some darned good medicine...so the more crazy people around...the better!

    Wow, I'm originally from New Jersey and am loving hearing all the place names. Moved from Bergen County (River Vale) but am very familiar with Hackettstown - my aunt lives in that area. And I lived in Sparta for a year.

    NoGlutenCookies, that's actually a fascinating theory. There must be *some* reason for the phenomenon, right? That's pretty interesting. Gilligan, funny you should mention collagen, I actually started taking it in capsule form...but for vanity... (gettin' old)

    Ha ha, awesome! Thank you, everyone!

    Also...as to the possibility that you're native (do you mean Native American?), I don't think that's probably the reason you have a sensitivity to gluten. I know plenty and then some of Euro- and other-descent people who have NCGI or celiac disease.

    I am so sorry. Most doctors just don't "get it." It's the whole cultural "but wheat is such a wonderful, happy, benign food that there must be practically no celiacs in existence!" thing. (If they even read a paragraph on celiac in med school. I've heard from med professionals that their nutritional unit is extremely short, like, a page short. Don't know...

    Thank you. <3 I haven't made a bone broth. I am definitely going to make that. I've been making broths out of pieces of chicken, etc. I haven't started a probiotic yet...I will go get some.

    Oh gosh, thanks so much to both of you. I really needed to hear this! I'll hang in!!

    I have not been DXd. But I am without a doubt gluten sensitive at the very least, to the point that by now, I am barely able to function. Yes, when I first related how I was feeling to gluten intolerance, I was angry. I felt that EVERYBODY else could eat "normally" and I couldn't. But recently I've come to a realization. Everybody can't eat "normally...

    Good luck and I hope you figure it all out and feel better! We really are like scientific experiments on ourselves in this quest. Eliminate this, try that...It's the only way to know what we can eat and what we can't.

    How long have you been gluten-free? If it hasn't been very long, you could still just be bloated/inflamed. If it has been a while, like the others said above, consider other food intolerances. I have discovered I can't do dairy. I do bloat from dairy, but only in my stomach (with gluten, it's my entire body - face, wrists, etc.).
  18. WestCoastGirl
    Yup. Dedicated (new) pan and pots, dedicated cooking utensils (also new), dedicated dishes. I will hang in there...thanks for your answer...

    Although she's being annoying, I personally believe way more people have gluten sensitivites than are aware of it. Go with it, let her be paranoid, it will make eating there much safer! She could be perhaps a bit of a hypochondriac?

    Honestly, they don't pay their employees very much. I probably wouldn't be a very enthusiastic worker either. Not an excuse, but being responsible for my own body, I personally wouldn't trust McD's, even the fries, which could easily be cross-contaminated being handled by gluteny gloved hands. ETA: I'm lucky in that I have a WalMart near me. Not that...

    Talk me off the ledge. I am 1+ week gluten-free and 1 week dairy free. And honest to God. I get cramps and D with EVERYTHING I eat. Rice? D. (So I stopped rice.) Cantaloupe? D. Home made soup with well-washed vegetables? Cramps and D. This morning I had eggs and a few well washed strawberries (the eggs were in a dedicated pan, I bought it knew...
  22. WestCoastGirl
    Great words of encouragement and glad you're feeling good.
  23. WestCoastGirl
    Oh God forgive me for laughing.
  24. WestCoastGirl
    Right, but the thing is you did eat cheese the day you swelled, right? Not trying to talk you into it, LOL. Just putting it out there. Good luck with your thyroid test!
  25. WestCoastGirl
    Thank you, IrishHeart. I am feeling much better today, hope everybody else is too.
