    I agree on Hula Hut. Very careful/courteous waitstaff. They will run and check on ingredients for you and suggest ways you can have a dish prepared safely, ie: substituting stuff. Great place for kids and adults alike. If you plan on having a special meal without the kids, Sullivan's steakhouse is awesome and has never glutened me. Speak to your...

    I'm on day 4. Based on Elaine's recommendations for those who have C rather than D, I've added in the muffins after day 2: "Get on the introductory diet for two days. Then introduce the muffins, one per day, along with COOKED AND PEELED vegetables and fruits. Raw fruit and vegetables (with the exception of the ripe banana) can aggravate both diarrhea...

    Thanks Corinne. I think you are totally right - the symptoms I'm still having are probably indicative of problems with some foods I *think* I can have (delayed reactions, etc). And if nothing else, a simple, cleansing diet like this will help me pinpoint what foods are really ok and not, as well as giving everything a chance to properly heal. I definitely...

    Enterolab now do IgA tests for soy, yeast and egg (as well as casein and gluten). I came back positive for everything but egg. They told me that it was their belief that any food that causes an abnormal rise in IgA antibodies could do the same damage as gluten. For example, whichever food triggers that reaction, to your body it is the same reaction. It...

    I'm really confused about whether I should try this diet. I read the book and I like the theory but I'm not sure if it's right for me for the following reasons: 1. I'm confused about where to start because I don't have D, and the initial phase seems to be aimed at clearing up D. Also, I can't eat eggs or dairy, so if I were to do the intro diet it...

    Hi gf4life, I hope you found a casein-free support buddy! I would offer to help but I have such an awful reaction to casein (exactly like my gluten reaction - knocks me out for 10+ days) that I had NO problem at all giving it up! It's a double-edged sword I guess - I have zero urge to 'cheat' because those foods to me now seem like poison, but then...

    My fave cereal is eggs and bacon.

    Open Original Shared Link. All of the test details and pricing are at their site. I would highly recommend getting all their tests - gluten, casein, soy, yeast and egg. I did and was intolerant to everything but egg. It wasn't until I cut all those other food groups out that I started to feel good. All of those foods (and presumably others that Enterolab...

    I am on the Paleo diet by default, because I have intolerances to pretty much all the foods it prohibits. I still have coffee though (black, no sugar - and organic home-roasted most of the time), and I have a weakness for bacon! (albeit organic/minimally processed...) But I'm 98% Paleo. And yes, I feel great on it. Healthy, energised, optimistic - just...

    www.enterolab.com now do stool tests for soy (and eggs and yeast). I figured out I had a soy problem just from symptoms after eating it, and this was confirmed with a positive enterolab test. Soy (and yeast) produce elevevated IgA antibodies in me, just the same as gluten and casein. I get varying degrees brain fog, fatigue, depression and gastric problems...

    There's no gluten in wine HOWEVER... those of us who are casein intolerant need to be aware that during the fining process of winemaking, casein is sometimes added. Sometimes it's eggs, sometimes casein, sometimes other stuff. This was something I read about a few days ago and was horrified, as I'm casein intolerant and pretty much only drink wine. The...

    Perhaps you have other food intolerances? I have exactly the same reaction to dairy (casein), soy and yeast as I do to gluten. Gluten is the tip of the iceburg for many of us. Get some tests at enterolab.com.

    I only use either olive oil or coconut oil. Bother very good for you.

    I never had DH, but having gone gluten-free, then casein-free and most recently (following positive antibody testing at Enterolab), soy and yeast free too, I got 'glutened' by yeast (yeasted?!) last week, and developed, for the first time ever, symmetrical, dry, very itchy marks. Both sides of my chest, stomach and inner arms. It looked a lot like some...

    I have this problem with ANY grains and starches. If I stick to a grain-free diet (plus dairy/soy free for me too, since I'm intolerant to them), then my stomach is fine. Fruit, meat, fish, veggies, nuts and seeds. That's all I eat and I feel fantastic. Anytime I stray (gluten free bread, rice, potato) I get abdominal distention, acne, stomach trouble...

    Hi guys, I just did Enterolab's soy/egg/yeast panel, because I was getting a bad reaction to soy and also something in my gluten-free bread was causing mischief. Very please to report I can still eat eggs! However, I did have elevated IgA antobodies to both soy and yeast. I would advise anyone who is gluten and casein intolerant to test for these...

    I come from a long line of back scratchers! I don't get this nearly as often now that I'm gluten free, so you could be on to something...
  18. cornbread
    Ok, I chickened out! I just couldn't do it. My plan is to take the test next time I get accidentally glutened or caseined. This way it either won't make any difference or it will add maybe a day onto the symptoms, which is better than purposefully poisoning myself. My doc already gave me info on how to treat it (basically the same info I already...

    I got the test from my ND today, to take at home tomorrow. I'm worried about it as the mixture I have to drink is lactulose/mannitol - lactulose being a milk sugar, and me being casein intolerant. I'm dreading it causing a casein reaction... but still, I need to take the test. My ND says she usually doesn't get people tested and diagnoses leaky gut based...

    I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving meal and nobody got glutened!! I made turkey, baked sweet potatoes, corn on the cob and mashed carrots/parsnips (British invasion on the plate ), followed by baked apples with maple syrup and cinnamon. I made gravy from the turkey juices mixed with gluten-free/CF chicken broth and thickened with a little almond...

    Just to back up what the others said - I tested positive for gluten intolerance, but negative for a gluten allergy. They are totally different. You need to either order the celiac blood panel from your doctor or the stool test from enterolab (and the latter is WAY more sensitive, so I would go with that).
  22. cornbread
    Becky, that sounds VERY much like celiac disease! What have the doctors said? If I were you, I would do the following: 1. Order the gluten sensitivity stool test (complete panel, plus gene test) from www.enterolab.com 2. Remove gluten from your daughter's diet and see what happens (it has to be 100% removed though, not just 'less' gluten) The stool...

    Hi Colin If you want a quicker answer, you could do the Enterolab stool and gene test. They are based in Texas, but they do testing for people overseas - in fact I have just ordered a few tests for my relatives in the UK. They send you the kit and you ship it back via FedEx's "biological specimen" service, then they email you the results within 3...

    I wouldn't be surprised if it was the coffee - or rather, the coffee lid... If I buy coffee at coffee places , I very often change the lid for a fresh one, because I've noticed that they often use their palm to press the whole lid down - a palm that has very likely just handled some kind of gluten filled baked goods (or milk, which for us casein-free folks...

    Yup, Clartitin, Claritin D... It has some lactose ingredient. Clarinex does too from what I've read online... Check the box, it should say 'lactose something'.
