    all of that was plain rude. if the representatives i spoke to had no idea what was going on then that would be the only reason they would say something like that. as far as i knew i was getting accurate information. why would i even share something that i didn't think was true or had been told? this isn't the first time i've been met with "smug" on this...

    i thought it was very strange, honestly. ok, i just spent a few minutes trying to find the articles i found back when i went gluten free, but all i'm really getting are the cross reaction articles. ok, from what i found out, this wheat dusting only happens with certain companies. i did not keep the list. for that i am very sorry because it is useful information...

    here is an interesting tid-bit: some coffee bean farms shake their beans in flour to prevent them from sticking. i had to call every coffee company i used and asked them about the early production stages and learned that this is a common practice. after they dust the beans and get them through the processing belt they are supposed to be rinsed off before...

    sorry i did not see this until a year later. i changed all my cat food to gluten free products. right now i'm using a dry food made by Nature's Variety Instinct Raw Boost. it has both dry food and freeze dried meat. since my cats lick my face i had to make the switch. i did not mean to remove your pets from your home. they are loved ones and they can...

    hey, NightSky, when i went gluten free i had to get on vitamins for two years to help my body heal. i know you are going to see a doctor based on the comment thread, so while you are there get a blood test done to see how your vitamin levels are. my B12 was so low i was sickly. even had to cut off all my hair because i was too exhausted to wash it and...

    ARCHIVED Cat Food

    pipermarau replied to pipermarau's topic in Super Sensitive People

    you hit the nail on the head about grooming! the dust does bother me like any gluten dust, but cats are chronic bathers by tongue. their saliva can be what gets me the worst because my two cats are very affectionate and they lick my face when i sleep, headbut me and rub whiskers on everything they see, and they are lap cats. my oldest has a UI problem...

    this is a reply to All: Thank you for moving the thread to a place where it will be read by other sensitive patients. I certainly do have anxiety about glutens since my near diagnosis. the Drs do not know if I have celiac, allergies, or a crazy form of IBS that reacts to glutens. Before making it to the Dr I screwed up their celiac test by going on...

    All the posters made great points about checking the pans and spoons, cleaning the kitchen, reading labels, etc, but I would like to throw in support for the effort to go totally gluten free as a team. My two cents worth is from personal experience with a boyfriend after I was diagnosed. After a year of fighting it we realized he had to go "all the way...

    My gluten problem is on the extreme side, so much that I wince at shaking a stranger's hand or using a public pen. I'm just curious if anyone has had issues with walking past the Bakery corner while shopping for groceries. One of my stores has all the fruit and veggies right next to the bakery, so I have to rinse the food 'just in case'. Some days I think...

    ARCHIVED Cat Food

    pipermarau posted a topic in Super Sensitive People

    Hello, all! I am proudly owned by two cats that have been kind enough to change their diet when I was forced to go gluten free. The problem is finding cat food that is gluten free without the company slipping in Barley Grass or Wheat Grass and acting like it is completely safe. Right now my kitties are on a combination of brands that label their food...

    hello all, i wanted to put up here my email from jordana cosmetics. i've had to change most of my regular products and this website has helped me with the majority of the research but this is one make up company i have not seen discussed yet. i hope this helps as it is sad news for me, it may prevent future glutening for others that are still looking for...

    thank you for the list, i'll def give it a try. i do know i need to put more meat in my diet but i love eggs and eat those frequently. i was wondering, how have you dealt with exercise since you started trying to get your weight back up? i know i can't do much more than a few tasks around the house right now but i don't know when i should try and start...

    i did order gluten free vitamins and have been doing my best to keep up with them. right now the back pain is the only thing keeping me from going into the kitchen and cooking, but i have fresh raspberries, vanilla yogurt, and salad mix in the fridge as well as some rice cakes. i'm always tired and the blackouts are horrible but the pain just takes the...

    hey everyone! i've recently started the gluten free diet after years of searching for an answer. a few weeks ago i weighed in at 84lbs, that scared the living crap out of me. i have always been skinny and never had a problem with weight gain. my heaviest time was at 117lbs and i was happy there. i looked healthy and had a very active lifestyle and then...
