    I had it last week and thought it was a delayed/ongoing reaction from a glutening I had had three weeks previous. Horrible gas pains and D. I ate Stonyfield Farms yogurt (six probiotic strains) and it really helped.

    Can't your guest eat Rudi's? Or maybe you can find some gluten-free rolls to serve. Or, as Karen suggested, you could make some gluten-free cornbread. I remember a couple of years ago I was invited to a friend's house for Christmas dinner. She called about an hour before we were supposed to get there in a panic because she had forgotten to buy rolls and was...

    Sapereaude, you may have cervical ribs. I have them. They say about one in a hundred people have them and they don't usually cause a problem until you injure, even slightly, the area. There are tiny vestigal ribs growing out of the cervical spine. They are floating ribs, and moving the wrong way (such as I did, stretching in my sleep one night) will make...

    ARCHIVED Alcohol

    bartfull replied to Skittles's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    If your drink is mixed with any kind of soda at a bar, they get that soda from the "gun". All of the different sodas go through the same lines so if any of them are unsafe, all of them are CC'd. I don't even know if sodas have gluten because I don't drink soda - first of all because I don't like them, and second of all because they are all sweetened with...

    I have Udi's crumbs in my butter, and I make sure to get them on my potato when I butter it. After no bread-type substance for over a year, I'm not even going to waste one tiny crumb of my Udi's!

    For me it must be the lectins. At first I could not eat any corn whatsoever. After a little over a year I can now tolerate corn starch but not corn meal. Those are the only two corn products I have tried so far. Thanks for the info, Mushroom. Now I am off to investigate what other foods have lectins.

    I'm fairly new at it, but my Mom was diagnosed back in 1985. Mom was always a phenomenal cook. When she was diagnosed her doctor told her, "You'll never be able to do it." (He was the only doctor, after years of Mom being sick, who even thought of cleiac, but that was the ONLY thing this jerk ever got right.) My Dad had asthma and was allergic to preservatives...

    I don't have DH and neither did Mom, but we both had/have celiac and we both had/have psoriasis. She was RH+ and I am RH-. (And I was born before they had treatment. We BOTH alsmost died.)

    GreenLady, I know what you mean about cooking! I never liked to cook so I never learned how. But I do pretty well with simple stuff. I roast my meat in the oven or cook on the George Foreman grill. When I cook on the grill I use Uncle Ben's instant rice in the microwave. When I roast in the oven I throw some potatoes or sweet potatoes in the oven too. Then...

    Google "feed lots in America", but only if you have a strong stomach and don't mind the nightmares you will get tonight. I guarantee you'll never buy grocery store beef again.

    I live in cattle country. There is a feed lot a few miles from here. The cattle (hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of them) are not in a barn, they are in what was once a field, with troughs full of grain (corn). They are up to their knees in their own manure. You can smell the feedlot from miles away. They just stand there and eat and poop until they are...

    I ate Stonyfield organic yogurt (six strains of probiotics) and it settled things down for me. Whenever I ate a meal, I topped it off with a good helping of the yogurt. When I finally started to feel good agian it was like someone turned a switch. I was sick one second, and the next second I felt perfectly fine. Weird.

    Gluten, soy, corn, and high salicylate foods have ALL contributed to my psoriasis. I had to ditch them all, and now my psoriasis is GONE. As I said in (in my poorly spelled) original post, SECONDARY intolerances are just as important as gluten. Julie, I would bet that the reason yours would come and go is that you ate something else you were intolerant to...

    I pronounce it, "AAARGH!!"

    I have palmoplantar pustular psoriasis, which looks very much like your condition except the pustules look like whitehead pimples instead of clear blisters. It doesn't itch very much, but it hurts like the dickens. When I first went gluten-free I inadvertantly went corn free too. After a few weeks of missing bread I decided to make some gluten-free corn bread...
  16. bartfull
    "Natural flavor" is almost always carried on CORN, not wheat. Perhaps youhave an intolerance to corn?
  17. bartfull
    Take your own food. If there is a place to heat things, great. If not, take something you don't mind eating cold. Sandwiches on gluten-free bread, gluten-free pasta salads, whatever you like. There's no need to starve yourself. You can even take some gluten-free desserts. If you pack the cooler with pre-frozen bottled water you'll even have something to drink...

    ARCHIVED Taco Bell?

    bartfull replied to SwtRandi's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    It could also be that the taco shells are deep fried. I'm not sure about the tostada shells, but they may not be. Anything deep fried in a non-dedicated fryer will be cc'd

    Leftovers? You might use them to patch any holes in your plaster or drywall. I say that because I can't stand the stuff. I know some folks really like it but I am definitely not one of them.
  20. bartfull
    Thanks. It is very painful, but the good news is that as long as I stay away from gluten, soy, most forms of corn, and foods high in salicylates, it goes away completely.

    I have palmoplantar pustular psoriasis. It only shows up on the palms of my hands and around the heels and bottoms of my feet. There is also a generalized pustular psoriasis that can show up on any part of the body. In both cases, the pustules look like whithead pimples. After a day or three they turn into little red spots. As they heal, the skin will crack...

    Absolutely! My sweet mother had the classic D. My digestive symptoms were very mild compared to hers. While we both had psoriasis that cleared up on the gluten-free diet, and we both suffered from insomnia, her insomnia never resolved but mine has. Also, Mom never developed other intolerances. She could and did eat corn in some form every day with no...

    You know, this is a bit embarrassing , but several very wise people here told me I must have a "bug" when I was getting worse, three weeks after being glutened. "Oh no," I said, "my psoriasis is getting worse too so it MUST be from food." Well, my psoriasis DID flare up, but I think that might have been from the vitamins I was taking. And just today...

    RoseTapper, I'm one of those who disagrees with you about testing. I don't have insurance so I'VE never been tested either, but when I read here about folks who go for followup tests a year after going gluten-free and find they are still producing antibodies, it makes me wish I COULD have been tested. Some of those folks feel fine after going gluten-free...
  25. bartfull
    That was me. Organic sweet potatoes worked but organic apples didn't. That was because the apples were high in salicylates, which may also be a problems for you, K. I'm sure you've all heard about the study by now that says organics are no better for you than non-organics. NUTRITIONALLY speaking, that may be true. But this study also said that non-organics...
