    If meat gives you heartburn, don't eat it. Can you handle fish?

    just wondering what the slowest possible reaction times to gluten are? I've heard 48 hrs, can it be slower? or say certain symptoms show up at first, then others several days or even a week later? curious because I for sure got glutened on a Sunday by eating a gluten-free item that had been sitting on a piece of NOT gluten-free bread and handled by people...

    In America, as far as I know there is no law and you can put whatever labels you want on your food as long as it isn't a blatant lie, e.g. putting "gluten-free" on a loaf of whole-wheat bread. But you don't have to actually test your products for the presence of gluten or declare possible cross-contamination or any of it. Very little regulation. Here in...

    naw it's just a mental thing. too much fat does make me feel nauseated. I made a bone broth without draining the fat and I almost got sick off it. now I drain the fat but keep the marrow. my eating is really disordered. half the time I'm hungry but even a nice fatty bacon slice doesn't sound good. nothing sounds good. it's a mental block I guess. ...

    I can taste everything, I just don't enjoy the eating part. I enjoy sweet too much as in I eat too much sugar, but the enjoyment only lasts for the first few bites and then I just feel gross again. I do like eating well-flavoured red meat though. And bacon fat. And bone marrow. But I still malabsorb fat if I eat too much at once and @...

    I can taste, but I don't taste like normal people. I can eat strange combinations of food and I taste each food separately rather than a medley. so for example I can eat guacamole on ginger snaps, or cherries dipped in hot sauce, or mackerel and avocado mashed into a paste with rice, and not think any of it is gross. My taste is also extremely insensitive...

    I won't eat food off shared lines ever since I had a bad reaction to a food on shared lines with soya products. spent too much of my young life sick and weak to take chances with food.

    It is annoying to be unable to grab something off the shelf and just eat it, or order pizza or whatever, sure. but my problem is that it's annoying to put food in my mouth, chew it, swallow it, and start all over again. I eat because I can't stand a hungry stomach, but a full stomach is almost as bad. I used to constantly have cravings--mostly cravings for...

    Eating soy makes me self-harmingly depressed within hours. I had crazy mood swings constantly before going gluten-free. If the antibodies end up in your brain, well. so it goes. don't eat at taco bell, my friend.

    I had really terrible insomnia coupled with hypnogogic/hypnopompic hallucinations and excessive daytime sleepiness even when I didn't have any insomnia. (I took the narcolepsy sleep study, and while I didn't have narcolepsy--no dreaming--I did fall asleep within 12 minutes at each stage of it. Despite having slept perfectly fine, according to the study, the...

    The oil means you are malabsorbing fat at the moment. When your gut heals this should stop, but you can help yourself by taking digestive enzymes with ox bile when you eat. The ox bile helps break down the fat. You can also eat less fat for the time being, since you're not absorbing it properly, and focus on taking probiotics and eating gut-healing foods...

    I told you that I LOVE cooking. I hate EATING is the problem.

    Yeah, except I've been gluten-free for a year and my eating is still rather disordered. far better than it was, but far worse than it should be...

    I don't think I have an eating disorder, but I definitely have disordered eating. My first gastrointestinal celiac symptom to show up was intense, insane, 24/7 acid reflux. It got so bad that I stopped eating solid foods, and often would go without any food at all. I lived off ensure, which is packed full of soy and dairy (baaaad idea), and was depressed...

    I did get the care package! And it was amazing. I am going through the items slowly, one a week at most, and eat them when I feel better about food. Pre-celiac, I was the girl who gave dinner-parties constantly. My mother and I once made Thanksgiving dinner together, just me and her, for like 18 people. I LOVE cooking and I LOVE feeding people. I am...

    I want to live in the future were they can make like a grey paste with all the necessary nutrients for the day and I can eat that and be done with it. Trying to figure out easy meals that cover all my bases and i can choke down and get over with. had rice, mackerel, and avocado for supper today. gets my protein, carbs, fat all there. often I will just...

    no such thing as mild celiac, just as there's no such thing as mild diabetes. we have an autoimmune disease, friend. the damage to your gut may have been mild , so thank your lucky stars for that. but unless you want to end up with fibromyalgia (read: chronic nonstop pain) or cancer in future, you'd better get serious about gluten free. it doesn't have...

    were you diagnosed celiac?? I think it's mean for your family to eat so much gluten around you when they must know you're struggling with it. that's really stupid.

    silicone, metal, and plastic are all okay, imho. Be careful with plastics that get easily scratched, however. wooden utensils and all cutting boards and colanders, regardless of construction, should be dedicated gluten-free only.

    ...They're going to kill someone. Maybe someone with celiac. Probably someone with an allergy. (oh, can't have shellfish? prawns are ok, they don't have shells lol) If I were in hospital and they tried to feed me like that, I'd rather starve. and if they gave me lip about not eating, I'd start flipping trays and throwing food
  21. Strawberry-Jam
    My impression thus far is that hair-strand allergy testing is crock. Anyone able to weigh in on the scientific merits of it? (skylark...? ._. )

    I eat out pretty rarely. I will eat at one restaurant in Dublin and two thai takeaways with gluten-free menus. Since thai food is often naturally gluten-free, it doesnt' take them too much trouble to provide gluten-free curries made from coconut milk. I've had bad experiences at restaurants where the servers seemed clueless. I always pick a place with...

    most of the women in my family had hysterectomies for various reproductive ailments... after they had children, but they had children really early so it was in the mid- to late-twenties for them. I often wonder if I'll have to get one at 25 too. Remember that adopting children is always an option. Endometriosis often ends in infertility anyway, especially...

    just... don't eat fast food. better safe than sorry.

    It depends on what your symptoms are, love. Aloe is good for acid reflux. it soothes the throat and stomach. It's not good for diarrhea, as mentioned above. Might help slightly with constipation (?) but there are better things out there. Eat very plain, easy to digest things now, like cooked veggies and chicken or beef broth. Take it easy, rest, supplement...
