I had the same thoughts as RiceGuy ( a few posts after this quoted post). From the descrpton of what you were eating, I think you are glutenng yourself. Be aware that once you give your body a break from gluten, you basically give it a chance to stand up for itself. I think that is what you are experiencing. The oats, the protien bar, produce wax, and your...

A little late. I would be concerned with the pan that was used to make the pancakes. When going gluten-free, I think it is important to consider all the places you have put wheat containing products and the likelihood that residual proteins have remained there.

Wow. Treat yourself to a gluten-free candy bar or a carton of gluten-free icecream. You can do the same type of unhealthy eating with out the glutening yourself, if it makes you feel better. At the least keep gluten free junk around to pull out in emergencies. You can walk off candy bars but you won't be walking if you keep this up. - Happytobefree

SGWhiskers, I went down the list. I would question: Potato- contamination of skin- I tried some sweet potato last night that I scrubbed like mad with veggie wash and tons of agua...alas still a no-go Thai noodles: cross contamination, I'm not familiar with these Peas/carrots:cross contamination or additives Ragu: I'm not familiar with their processing...

Hello, This reply is a little late. I see that this message was posted in May. I was searching for symptom posts because I feel what I call "alone with my symptoms" when I have a reaction and have a rough time expressing the way I feel to my husband. Reading this description is like reading my thoughts about my reactions. First, I feel very...

Hello, Some people are sensitive to a protein on oats too. I do know that gluten-free oats are hard to find. When I started the diet I learned this the hard way from a bowl of Quaker Oats after a relative had told me that oats were safe. The truth but not the whole truth. I have been using "bob's Red Mill-Gluten Free Oats" for some time now and have...

I went this route also, but you have to intake gluten daily for a minimum of 4 weeks to get visible damage in your stomach and/or intestine. I think my GI thinks I am nuts because all my symptoms couldn't be proven. I had been gluten free for a year and a half before I went to get tested. I was so scared of intake and had forgotten exactly how I felt when...

To All, I am struggling with discussing the gluten-free diet with my mother-in-law. She has assured me that she is gluten-free savvy and has made me great gluten-free dishes in the past. Unfortunately, the first time she made a mistake and made me sick, she was defensive and angry until she realized where she had goofed. I was thankful just to be back...

Becci, Sorry to hear of your discomfort. My guess is the Great Value brand cream corn from Walmart. I have found a long "processed with" label warning that includes wheat on many of their products. Double check the can again. Good luck and feel better.
