I just bought one this weekend. Am looking for recipes to make. Got tired of paying a fortune for bread with holes you could drive a semi through.

Trust me you need to be tested prior to going gluten free. I have a long story about that. I was gluten free for a year and a half and then thought I wasn't Celiac. I never had a test one way or the other. I broke out in DH last month and tested highly positive for Celiac when they did the lab work. Make sure you get it right the first time. You don't ever...

Back in 2010 I was having the "leaky gut" symptoms. It was nonstop. I just couldn't figure out what was causing it. Finally in 2011 I went to a gastroenterologist and had to have some tests for a clotting disorder I was taking Warfarin for before could have an endoscopy and colonoscopy done. I had to be off of those medications prior to and resume them after...

Yes you do need to get it checked. I had that same thing for close to two years and a half. Finally I consulted a gastroenterologist and had to wait for six months for a endoscopy and colonoscopy because I supposedly had a rare blood disease (which I found out I didn't have but was treated for 30 years). I finally had the procedures done. They did biopsies...

Don't pass this off as a hemorrhoid problem. I had this problem and passed it off as hemorrhoids. I'm a self diagnosed Celiac and stopped eating gluten in September 2010 however I was still having symptoms including passing mucous and passing blood. It would be in my stool and in the mucous. I finally caved and went to a doctor because I couldn't ignore it...

You really do need to see a doctor. This is not something you want to ignore. There are all sorts of reasons for swollen lymph glands but you need to have a professional figure out the reason for you.

I packed on 15 pounds of the 60 I lost so I understand where you are coming from. I think that now you are taking in the nutrients you are also taking in calories. Just because it is gluten free does not mean it is low in calories. Bread for example--Gluten Free is much higher in calories than regular bread so I have really cut back on sandwiches and the...

No, I have never had a problem with anything Applegate. They say on the package whether there is gluten or whether it is gluten free. My guess is that you might not be able to handle the hot spices yet. I've been gluten-free for six months and I still cannot tolerate the yummy spices I used to eat.

Your story is the VERY reason I just did it on my own. I don't want to hear how I don't know my own body and don't know what is going on. I was really sick like you are describing for 7 months until someone suggested that I might have Celiac. So, I researched it and within 24 hours without gluten I was 150% better. So when one of these genius doctors tries...

Mint is really hard for me and I still get diarrhea if I eat it in any form. So it just may be the mint. Also, some people don't do well with chocolate.

It gets better and better but there are the setbacks you have to deal with. You might try (I have but nobody will listen) to get someone to treat you for small bowel overgrowth. I'm going to schedule my endoscopy and colonoscopy after I get done with the hematologist and then I am going to find someone that will treat that for me. I honestly don't care who...

Yes, I was misdiagnosed by a lab test 39 years ago after having a DVT with a RARE blood disease called Anti Thrombin III. I went to a hematologist on March 9th. She repeated the newer tests for all coagulating diseases and I was negative. I stopped my "blood thinner" after 39 years and I just don't feel right. Something is going on. I see the hematologist...

I lost 60# before I went off gluten. I gained 10# back once the calories stayed with me.

It is my understanding these products do have gluten in them. Mind you it is less than 20ppm which is the standard in the US. I don't know about you but I want zero gluten. I have read there is an apple fiber psyllium that has zero gluten made by NOW.

They claim they are gluten free but according to research I did you don't know the maturation rate of the grass. It could be close to wheat and therefore contain a miniscule amount of gluten which companies don't count. For instance, Rice Dream is filtered using barley and then they remove it and leave 0.02% gluten. I don't know about you but I want my products...
