  1. Headaches and joint pain are reactions I have when I consume nightshades.(potatoes,peppers,chilies,tomatoes ,eggplant ect...)I was not able to isolate the cause until after I was gluten free for awhile. Nightshades also effect my mood and temperament. I get really angry and mean. Try eliminating nightshades for about 2 to 3 weeks and them reintroduce...
  2. A positive test result overrides a negative one. There is a high rate of false negatives but false positives are unheard of.
  3. with corn chips there is a chance of CC or a reaction to the oil used to cook them, I would go with plain corn.
  4. When I was at my sickest everything and I do mean most everything made me ill. There was a period of time where ground lamb and white rice were just about all I could eat. I went on an elimination diet and discovered that I had quite a few intolerances and I am allergic to eggs and almonds . I had been eating them daily all my life Once I eliminated...
  5. T2 refers to the type of imaging you had (MRI) T2-weighted MRI Main article: Spin-spin relaxation time "T2-weighted scans are another basic type. Like the T1-weighted scan, fat is differentiated from water - but in this case fat shows darker, and water lighter. For example, in the case of cerebral and spinal study, the CSF (cerebrospinal fluid) will...
  6. We go thur hell for years and some times beat our selves up thinking maybe,just maybe, we are crazy or lazy hypochondriacs but WE ARE NOT!! This is real, my /your pain and symptoms are very real. Just because researchers have not come up with a test accurate enough to diagnoses most of us does not mean it is not real . Until the money is there for...
  7. There is soy in many processed foods,canned tuna fish,hot dogs,ranch dressing and other salad dressings,mayo , most vegetable oil is soy oil,chicken and beef bullion ,lip gloss ( for your wife of course )gluten free baked products, many vitamins and mineral supplements have soy ,many rice crackers are made on shared lines or in shared plants ,,the list...
  8. Honestly ,I have given up trying to educate my family, they just plain dont want to hear it . My friends understand ( as well as I can expect them to ) and allow me to serve my self first so it lowers the risk of CC. What I do is : eat before I go,take a dish to share I can eat (normally a casserole and a dessert ), and serve my self first .
  9. Tonight is ground lamb , onion ,garlic ,rice,peas and carrots stir fried in olive oil. It is my safest meal, something got me and I am still trying to figure out what
  10. No they are not.They have to be ordered separately by your doctor. When I have my testing done the show up separately on the lab results.
  11. Some can eat products made on shared lines some can not. I can not, nor can I eat products made at shared facility. It is enough CC( cross contamination ) to make me very ill.
  12. No, you dont have to give up FF ,just make them at home. This is a vegan recipe site you may find helpful Open Original Shared Link
  13. What about vitamin D,B12,magnesium ,potassium, iron levels??
  14. I am really OK with the way I have to eat,,It is second nature now. I just want to be on the mailing list if you ever decide to open a restaurant.
  15. What blood tests did your doctor do??? You could have either the lab or the doctors office send the reports to you.
  16. Like mushroom, I have additional intolerances that make eating out difficult at best. I have been gluten free for about 19 months ,I have eaten out twice in that time. At the same restaurant .Once was a great experience and the other time I was extremely ill afterward. The difference (I believe ) was the waitstaff. The time I did not get ill , the...
  17. Take note of any changes in his behavior ( his ADHD)and changes in his tummy issues . 6 days is not a long time but you may be surprised the changes when you put him back on full gluten . Once his testing is done, consider going gluten free ( not matter the test results) There is scientific research that indicates that someone with ADHD can benefit...
  18. If you are having trouble digesting proteins try digestive enzymes . Once I had my gallbladder removed I also had trouble digesting fats . I have to be careful of the amount of fat I consume in a meal or major tummy issues happen .
  19. I was gluten free for over a year and I was still having issues so I went soy,corn and nightshade free . Still I had issues so I did an very strict elimination diet. I discovered an allergy to eggs and to almonds on top of my food intolerances Once the almonds and eggs were removed from my diet my gut was able to start to heal. Since I have been able...
  20. Do not put him on a gluten free diet if you plan to have him tested for celiac's until all the testing is done. Testing for celiac's is done by blood work and /or endoscopy . Being gluten free before testing can cause false negatives. If he has no issues with gluten being on a gluten free diet will not cause him to become sensitive to gluten...
  21. Have you tried cutting soy out of your diet?? It made such a difference for me when I eliminated soy from my diet . Hope your feeling better soon
  22. Priceless I will keep these suggestion in mind
  23. Do you have any problems with other intolerances ?? I believe cinnamon is in the nightshade family (??) Are you getting CC from your pets food? Do you eat processed gluten free foods?? Could you be super sensitive to gluten??, maybe sticking to just whole foods for awhile would help. I am sorry I hope you find the culprit soon.
