My mother-in-law has fructose malabsorption, which caused a lot of problems for her. She can't eat fruit, HFCS, onion, tomatoes, and many other foods containing high amounts of fructose. Something to consider.....or the more severe fructose intolerance. I read that sugary things bother you. Could be a possibility. I am going through a lot of similar...

Actually started taking prilosec (suggestion by my doctor) and the pain has mostly gone away. I am going to say that it was likely an issue with the damage from the gluten being highly effected by degestive acids.....not sure, though. The pain does pop up here and there, but I feel a lot better! I am going to eventually look into the possibility of more...

Has anyone else experienced this? Just curious.... I had accidentally eaten gluten several times over the Christmas holiday, mostly cross-contamination issues at the in-laws' house, but also got a little complacent. Anyway, I had a weird burning sensation above and to the right of my belly button for 3 months or longer. Because it started with the gluten...

Well, it is starting to go away......and so is my bodily inflammation. I am starting to be able to see my collar bone and my clothes are starting to fit a little better......I am assuming it actually is Celiac as opposed to just an intolerance (though I personally think that since the symptoms are very similar between the two and because Celiac can be so...

First, a little bit of backstory. I am a self-diagnosed gluten intolerant. My nurse practitioner did not see the point in testing for Celiac if I was planning on doing a gluten challenge anyway, so when I did it, it was obvious that the gluten was causing a problem. I have been off of gluten for a little over a year, with some oopsies along the way. I...

There are also apps with restaurant menus to eat gluten-free out. "Is that gluten free" has an eating out version. Expensive, but very worth it.

And....it is the rice chex, ate breakfast, tummy pain again. They used to have a blanket statement about all allergens possible and did not contain anything in the ingredients list, but they must have changed their supplier. It now says that it may contain traces of wheat....I am thinking shared equipment. Awesome. Well, I guess my fiance will be given...

Well, I have figured out that I am eating something that is continually bothering me. I was fine all weekend and it is coming back a little bit today. Now I need to figure it out. I am wondering if Walmart has reformulated their generic rice chex. I checked the ingredients when I first started buying it and it has never bothered me before. They are famous...

I totally understand. I have social engagements with my fiance 4 times in the next week that involve eating outside of my little bubble. I do have staples that I order all of the time that never make me sick, so hopefully, I will be fine. Let's both hope that we start to get better. I am generally really good about not making mistakes, so I am crossing...

I just wanted to see if any of you have any suggestions. I had (I think) several accidental glutening situations over the holidays. I made some stupid mistakes while driving home for Christmas and ate some salt and vinegar chips that had malt vinegar on them. Didn't think to look at the bag, as most of the company's chips are gluten free, until I had eaten...

I know exactly how you feel. People who can eat gluten sometimes do not understand how we may feel and that they are hurting our feelings. My brothers and father can sometimes be hurtful, but they are all coming around slowly thanks to the wonderful support of my mother and the tiny lectures she gives them all. We all think that my youngest brother has...

Thanks!!! I will look into all of those things. I also have the Babycakes cookbook. I forgot that many of her recipes a use this flour. I was not impressed with the cookies, but I will take the advice of using recipes with a lot of ingredients to hide the taste. I am hoping to use all of this flour up so I am done and over with it.....now that I have...

Suzanna, I am so sorry you are having such a hard time right now. If your friends can't be supportive, just know that all of us can be a large support network. I haven't been doing this for long (1 year), but it does get easier, friends who want to listen and understand will, family members learn to adjust. Make sure to get the help that you need, but...

I have a bag or two of Bob's Red Mill gluten-free Flour. I am one of those people who can immediately pick out the bean flavor when I use it in baked goods, but I originally bought a bunch of it because it was on sale. Too bad, because the texture it produces is really nice. Does anybody have any recipes where they can stand the taste of the flour? I...

Had one on Saturday!!! Thought it tasted like Udi's. It was so exciting to go to a restaurant and eat a hamburger on a BUN!! Now if they could only cook their french fries in gluten-free oil, I'd be in heaven!!
