    I didn't say that we must try to have zero impact on the planet (impossible), or that we must live in some mountain top cabin and collect rainwater and forage for seeds in the forest all day long. That just sounds like an attempt at minimization aimed at the facts I offered in my previous post. You give a reply which is caricatural of what I am trying to...

    It sounds like it might be worth trying to go soy free for a couple of months. I might give it a try! Just a note though, I eat only organic soy whether it is in soy milk, soy dessert or tofu. So we can scratch the GMO and the pesticide issue off the list. Just a note about this comment: "I'd ditch the soy for "ecological and humanitarian...

    Hi I have been gluten-free for almost 4 months. My neck and shoulder pain has improved and my nausea is gone. Also, my cracked heals have heeled (weird). 1 week ago I completelly removed dairy. I did it for ecological, humane reasons, but I also know that it can be good for one's health. so far I feel just as tired, just as congested, and actually more...

    I read that cracked heels can be a symptom of hypothiroidism (and diabetes?)? maybe my thyroid was affected by the gluten? (even if i tested normal for thyroid tests). But it is no coicidence, I am sure that our smoother heels are related to diet change. i had had this issue for years and it was bad, very cracked and dry.

    I have had badly dry and cracked heels for years and since going gluten free 3 and a half months ago, they have HEALED! I noticed it a couple of weeks ago! Now it's some calous but no more cracks. before they were deep cracks to the point that i was a little worried. It's just incredible. How can it be?? anyone else?

    But lactose intolerance doesn't necesseraly come from villi damage, does it?
  8. possiblyglutensensitive
    Thanks all. I am not sure I have villi damage though. My blood test was negative (tTG) and I have not had a biopsy... but thanks for the info on Yogurt, cheese, ice cream and lactose.

    thanks for the thread title "What are your glutened symptoms?". I'll go look. It had been 8 weeks gluten-free for me as well! I had also read that Doritos were gluten-free and once i got the bag home, I read the ingredients and had them anyway I though what the heck, I can handle cheating... we'll see how it goes. Mayber I AM coming down...
  10. possiblyglutensensitive
    What causes that? Can you link some articles that talk about those symptoms?
  11. possiblyglutensensitive
    Hi, Maybe I am totally off here but I ate a bag od Doritos yesterday and I noticed they have wheat flour in them. I went to the store and bought a bag, i was craving them so badly for days and when I got home I checked the ingredients and there was wheat flour in them...... I admit I saw that before i ate them and ate them anyway, I caved. It had...

    Interesting, up until a few weeks ago I was craving almonds almost constantly and eating easily a half cup a day. The doctor said I was low in iron (though not anemic), so that could explain the incredicble fatigue I have during, and the week after my period. (still tired all the time, it is just worst during those times). Aside from that all my...

    I have decided to stay gluten-free even with negative test results. I feel this is the best thing for me. I have contacted the hotel where I will be staying and they will accomodate gluten-free for me. So people can be really understanding!
  14. possiblyglutensensitive
    I called my doctor and received the news: anti gliadin (which I didn't know she tested for) is NEGATIVE tTG (anti transglutaminase) is NEGATIVE I don't get it. why is my nausea gone and neck and shoulder pain so much improved? Am I crazy? could the tests be wrong? Is it that there are many proteins in the "gluten" family and gliadin is...
  15. possiblyglutensensitive
    That makes sense. Have you noticed a lot of improvement (except when you have your period obviously!) since you went gluten-free? With what symptoms? My neck and shoulders are better, but if I get too stressed (like today at the emergency vet hospital with my dog) or spend too much time a the computer, I still hurt quite a bit. And the fatigue is still...
  16. possiblyglutensensitive
    No, no, you actually encouraged me. I need to hear how it took a while to feel better so that I WILL stay gluten-free. I am still waiting for test results but I expect them to be negative. All the more reason why I need to hear from people who persevered on their gluten-free diet and started to feel better eventually. I am almost a month gluten-free...

    Hi Jestar thank yo so much for your reply. I need hope right now! I have had iron and B12 anemia in the past confirmed by blood tests, and i had to take iron pills and get B12 shots (did nothing I was still tired). I have also had "low iron" in the past. then the following blood tests would be normal, I don't know why. i am now waiting...

    OK 3 weeks gluten-free, I Thought MAYBE I was feeling a little better? The shoulder and neck pain and nausea and general stomach pains are the areas which are really noticeable. I had my period less than 1 week ago and I have been SO tired since. Neck kinks (oh and also general back pain), depressed mood, and just lots lots of fatigue, and also pain in...
  19. possiblyglutensensitive
    Thanks for all the suggestions! I think it is a psychological craving, not a physical one (I lived with daily physical cravings prior to going gluten-free and it feels different. Also I used to smoke and have had both types of cigarette cravings- physical when I was trying to quit, and psychological, several months after quitting). The other thing is,...

    Well the honeymoon period is over I guess? I have been craving toasted baguette with butter and Nutella, and muffins (warm with butter), and chocolate croissant, and pizza, for 1 week. The thought of never enjoying them again is a little overwhleming. When I go to the grocery store and walk through the bakery area, I feel like I am walking...

    I feed my cat 4 times a day and he eats everything in one sitting. I think he would only ghraze if he was grossly overfed and not so hungry. So I think it deepends on the cat. One of the things I do to keep him busy and stimulated, especially in the winter (he IS an indoor cat, he spends time outdoors on the balcony but only half of the year) is that...

    good POV. are you saying that it is the protein in corn that would make someone with a corn intolerance unwell? thanks for the info on citric acid. I looked on the net but couldn't find any info on citric acid and gluten.
  23. possiblyglutensensitive
    Is citric acid gluten free? I heard that in the US always, but anyone know in Canada?? I just bought a can of artichoke hearts and there is citric acid in it. thanks!

    I've been gluten free for about 3 weeks and I started to feel better by day 12 or so. The headache (had them for a few months) and nausea (which had become chronic since at least a year), went away. poof, the nausea was gone. The pains in neck and shoulder (had them for years), diminished by about 50%. My digestion got better immediatelly. When I...
  25. possiblyglutensensitive
    well, I try to buy stuff only made here in Canada or the US. I do not trust anything from China. and the other day I saw a box of Chocolates made in Mexico and no i wouldn't buy it. their policies just aren't as strict as ours. I will buy rice noodles made in thailand though... they say gluten free on the package and well.... they aren't from China...
