    Do you happen to have any metal in your mouth? I developed celiac and several autoimmune issues (tho none diagnosed.. but I couldn't function without cutting gluten). Heavy metals (mercury, titanium, lead, cadmium, aluminum) are known to cause autoimmune dysfunction. Just google .. I just had my titanium dental tooth implant removed from my mouth and...

    Just wondering if there is, by any chance, a brand out there anyone knows of that sells almonds that are not cross-contaminated with cashews or walnuts. I know my chances of finding them are slim. My son is a ridiculously picky eater and want to try him with almonds, but he's allergic to cashews and they're both usually cross-contam'ed. Thanks..

    Hi Amber - I'm just a mom w/ two kids.. all of us are gluten-free and my kids are also dairy free. I've done a lot of reading and about 12 yrs ago went to a phenomenal nutritionist (PhD, as well), Dr. Fred Bisci. This dude's healed people of cancer. He is so great - He sees people for consultation, also. Not a money-grubbing guy. He's 80-yrs-old and...

    This safe list looks really good too:https://www.celiac.com/articles/181/1/Safe-Gluten-Free-Food-List-Safe-Ingredients/Page1.html Actually sodium lauryl sulfate is on the "good list" and I know a lot of people can't use soaps with this in it if they're celiac, so .. I don't know if this list is great or not..

    Citric acid! It's found in most diet drinks and it gives me a major reaction too. It's in diet Snapple and was in my diet cherry soda and diet root beer. Also, this site was helpful to me re: additives. Open Original Shared Link This one looked very good, too: /celiac-disease/forbidden-gluten-food-list-unsafe-ingredients-r182/

    Also, if you do almond butter or put it in shakes, it will help "bind him up" a bit, so he's a bit more regular and doesn't have diarrhea. Helped both my kids a bunch w/ their stools.

    Regarding eating out gluten-free: You can look up online any gluten free menus for restaurants you want to eat at. There are lots of them and I'm finding more restaurants are starting to have these menus and be aware of this issue. Open Original Shared Link Here's a site on eating gluten-free in restaurants in London. I'm sure there are others, as well...

    Open Original Shared Link Hey there, found this site on gluten-free candy. They also have candy that's completely free of all 8 major food allergens. It has an "orange 'A'" at the top. My son is super super picky. He's 3 and has major texture issues. He eats tons of "Sticks and Twigs" by Mary's Gone Crackers. She makes lots of crackers that are...

    For my picky 3 yr old, he eats tons of "Sticks and Twigs" by Mary's Gone Crackers. She makes a lot of gluten free crackers that don't have yeast in them, which is bad for kids with ASD (which my son has) and ASD related-conditions. (Autism Spectrum Disorder) Also, since he has major 'textural issues', we make "shakes" in the blender with raw almond...

    My son also has the itching gums (bottom front) and itching, red eyes. He has me rub his eyes b/c they itch so much. He is 3 yrs old. I think I may have celiac and my son, we believe, has ASD (Autistic Spectrum Disorder), as he is not fully verbal and has some 'foggiheadedness'. We have him on a Gluten-free Casein-free diet (gluten-free, casein or...

    I bet if you do cut out gluten, you will feel a million times better. All of these sound like "over"-reactions to gluten, if you ask me. Read "The gluten-free Diet" by Elizabeth Hasselbeck and "Dangerous Grains", Braly. All the stuff you describe is in these books. Best of luck to you. There's hope.. like I said, I can bet you you'll feel tons better...

    Probiotics!!! They work wonders for me and won't cause any diahrrea. Solgar, Solaray.. those are some good qual brands. Make sure they're refrigerated. otherwise not really effective. Try to get several diff. strains (in one bottle.) I like the ones w/ lactobacillus. I have the same problem and I think I'm just very wheat intolerant.

    Wow. This is an incredibly interesting thread. I, too, have had breathing problems, starting with my first pregnancy. I was preeclamptic (toxic) with both pregnancies and each time I felt like it was hard to get enough air in my lungs. And as you said, thought my lungs just didn't have enough room to get air in. I thought it was b/c the baby was blocking...

    I have recently gone on the a diet where I order pre-packed foods online..(This site doesn't allow me to post the name) The diet is great because their food does not contain wheat in the ingred. Plus, they have a bunch of certified gluten-free foods you can order. Within the past week I am realizing I am wheat sensitive. I stopped eating anything...

    Regarding the skin issues, I know there are several skin problems associated with celiac's and gluten sensitivity. Personally, I think it's all related. I am not a doctor or nutritionist of any kind, but no, I wouldn't necessarily recommend eating wheat stuff before going in for surgery. If it has bad negative reactions with your body, it's only going...

    momof2peanutz replied to dube's topic in Super Sensitive People

    I just recently realized I'm extremely sensitive to wheat and am possibly celiac, but.. I've noticed a lot of times when I have ketchup, I develop one or two small blisters or sores in the back (sides) of my mouth. This does not happen with tomato sauce, though. Also, I get blisters with at least a couple different kinds of medical tape. (they're bad...

    oh and anytime I get stitiches, they end up getting inflamed, swollen and itchy and I end up taking them out myself.

    I had severe reactions while in the hospital about to give birth - from medical tape on my hand, arm and shoulder. They would tape an IV to my arm and OMG OMG.. I cannot begin to tell you the reactions I had. Suffice it to say - My shoulder (I am so not kidding) turned black, blue and green. It stayed that way for.. let me check if it's still there.....

    Just want to say - great job in moving them toward a gluten free diet. I switched my kids over as soon as I heard a connection btw. ASD (autism spectrum disorder) and wheat/dairy sensitivity.. They are 3 and 1, so obviously I can control their diets, HOWever... My 3-yr-old has extreme behavior issues when he eats gluten as well as dairy and artifical food...

    What you had for your first pregnancy sounds a lot like what I experienced both of mine. Although, they couldn't induce me -my cervix wouldn't dilate. It was horrible b/c then I sat there for days, blowing up w/ more water. Anyhow, yea, gluten-free and hopefully this won't happen again. Thanks to everyone for your input and if anyone has any other...

    I also just found this link which is amazing with it's information on studies with pregnant women with celiac. It does state that after a 6 mos to a year of being gluten free, the women in their studies reported no issues w/ their pregnancies. Still, I'm very curious and anxious to know of individual experiences, if anyone would be willing to share...

    Just last night I stayed up til 4 reading Elizabeth Hasselback's book, The gluten-free Diet. I am completely convinced I either have celiac's or am very wheat sensitive, at the very least. I have been pregnant twice, both times very preeclamptic. I put the dots together last night, reading about how celiac's is autoimmune and remembered recently reading...
