    Richard, I just received a letter from Mc Neil, makers of Tylenol. I was asking about Tylenol PM. They assured me that it is gluten-free, in fact they sent me a whole list of gluten-free products and several coupons for their products. I would put it on the message board but I don't have the computer skills to do it. It has to say extra strength Tylenol...

    Hi Kelly, I too have had the edema and face and neck flushing. About 10 years ago the medical doctor found a "goiter" in my neck. I was sent to an endocrinologist who found a nodule on my left thyroid gland. I had surgery to remove it, it was benign, and the surgeon said that my thyroid was "attacking" itself, another type of autoimmune disorder...

    Hi, I found the info on dental materials in the small guides sold by Clan Thompson. One is for gluten-free prescription meds, the other for gluten-free over- the-counter meds, the other is a gluten free food list. they only cost about $4.95 ea, and are helpful to keep in your purse. They also have a database on gluten-free restaurants, food,medicine...

    Hi Jojes, I am fairly new to this diet, nov 03, and I began having problems about a month into the diet. By the process of elimination I narrowed the culprit to dairy and tomatoes.I noticed that you are consuming tomatoes and that might be your problem too. I've had to give up my favorite baked beans, spaghetti sauce, cheese, yogurt, milk and ice cream...

    Hi, I read your post and I was amazed when you said you get a terrible taste in your mouth, that's been one of my main symptoms when i think I have eaten something with gluten, milk, or tomato products. This is usually followed by right sided pain (right around gall bladder). I've been tested many times for gb disease but every thing is normal. After...

    Hi, I was reading about your stomach problems, nausea, bloating. I also had these and I agreed to have the Endoscopy done and I'm glad I did because I have gerd/esophagitis and IBS as well as an allergy to wheat. If this condition had been left undiagnosed it could lead to cancer. The procedure is very much easier than the colonoscopy, there is no...

    Hi, I get this" Brain fog" thing after I eat anything dairy. I can't concentrate very well or read. It feels like you are walking in a cloud. I have stopped all dairy, if I absolutely have to use milk, it would be goats milk.

    Hi Tara, I'm sorry that you are so ill, I know how you must be feeling. I have an allergy to wheat. For 3 years I had red, sore, itchy eyes. My allergist insisted it was "environmentally" caused by trees, grass, and mold. I had allergy shots, antibiotics, but nothing helped. In March of 03 I began having GI problems, nausea, diarrhea, bloating all...

    rdawn, About the Lactaid question, You have to be completely off any dairy products for 2 weeks before you can take the Lactaid tablets. If I were you I would stay away from dairy as long as you can. I've been off dairy for a couple of months and I tried to reintroduce them but I started to get a reaction. My reaction to milk is "brain fog" and...

    Hi, I am also newly diagnosed and wanted to tell you that I also get diarrhea after I eat ice cream, milk, cheese. I have given up on dairy until my villi get healed. I also noticed that dairy causes me to have "brain fog" big time. To counteract the dehydration I usually get some bananas and Gatorade, it might save you from a trip to the hospital,...

    rdawn, I understand what you are going through. The first few months are the worst. my advice to you is to take a deep breath and calm down, things will get better, I promise. You need to eat very simply, such as chicken, rice, and veggies(keep them simple, like celery, peas, green beans). I also eat pork chops, mashed potatoes, and again a simple...

    judy, I saw some in a catalog from the Vermont Country Store, it was kind of pricey. I don't have the catalog anymore, but I know they are on the web...

    Jan, Don't feel bad I had a lot of problems at first. When you said you could only see 2/3 of the message, you probably need to center it by pushing the right arrow at the bottom of the window, that's what I have to do. Hope this helps! I think you will like it when you get used to it...

    Hi everyone, I just heard on CNN last night that people on lo carb diets are angry because drug companies don't label the Rx bottles about how many carbs are used as fillers!!oooooooohh, if they only knew!

    Hi polishmafia, I just had to write and tell you my story. I have always believed that God never closes a door without opening a window. Twelve years ago when I started to have lots of physical problems I met a wonderful man. I was newly divorced, dating another man and was really head-over-heels about him, when John entered my life.He really didn...

    Hi everyone, When I first went gluten-free, I got worse instead of better. I think it is your body reacting to not receiving gluten. They say your body craves what it is allergic to. I have always craved soft white bread, but that "craving" went away after a few weeks. After that you start to recognize other foods that bother you, in my case it was...

    Mariann, This is the quote I wanted to run by you. Do you think all of these food allergies can cause damage but no wheat? Scroll down, I hope I did this right, thanks Mariann!

    Kenzie, I am still new to this (3 mos). My suggestion is to eat very simply for the first 2 wks, like chicken and rice, fresh veggies, potatoes, sweet and reg.I also can eat fish and shrimp, gluten-free bread, gluten-free cereal. Try to eliminate sodas,can drink gluten-free tea( Celestial Seasonings are good), make sure box has gluten-free on the...

    Mariann, I found the article about levels of damage on this web site under Site Index, Allergy vs Intolerance, by Kemp Randolph, Will ther foods affect the Villi. Question and answer on milk and eggs. I wish I knew about doing the "Quote" so that I could post it here..

    mysterypain, I have been gluten-free for three months and I cannot eat oatmeal, nor dairy. I usually use goat milk for cooking. Not all tomato products are gluten - free, but I think Contadina products are. I also reacted to Pace Picante (which I love) and am now avoiding any tomatoes right now because I must be allergic to them also. I try not to...

    judy04 replied to YankeeDB's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    Hi Yankee, I also have had burning, tingling, and some numbness on the bottom of my feet which is slowly going away after going gluten-free. Every time I come to this board I find some one who has the same prolems that I have, never thought these can all come from gluten...

    Hello, I also have thyroid disease. I had a benign nodule on my left thyroid, which they removed in 2000. Dr said my body was destroying itself (autoimmune disease) and I have to take a small dose of Levoxyl to protect the right side. My Dr also gave me a small book about thyroid and I wish I could remember the name, but he said that many of us suffer...
