    If you have any chance of having a bacterial overgrowth causing the diarrhea, DO NOT take anti-D meds. It keeps the bacteria in your intestines, which is counter productive.

    PLEASE...if you even suspect bacterial overgrowth, go to a Gastroenterologist and beg for a stool sample to be sure. While you're at it, have him do a Celiac panel too. I was self treating for gluten intolerance, and turns out I had C Diff for 8 months! The only thing that kept it from becoming horrible were the probiotics I was taking. Being off gluten...

    Why not a rice stuffing. There are plenty of recipes around. It would probably be best NOT cooked in the turkey, but a separate casserole dish. I have found that using brown sushi rice holds up really well in soups and rice salads....kinda has a barley texture. Pre cook it first though.

    I just posted on another thread....PLEASE be sure to have a stool test. I am now being treated for C Diff, a nasty bacterial infection in the intestines. I was on Cipro for three UTI's in a row, and it caused this bacterial overgrowth. Have you been on antibiotics in the last several months? I'm not a doctor, but MY advise is to start on a good probiotic...

    PLEASE get a stool test, it may be something else. I made that mistake, and 6 months later did something about it and I'm currently being treated for C Diff, a "lovely" intestinal bacterial infection. I have to admit, I do feel much better having been gluten free all this time. Last week, my celiac panel came back negative, of course.

    I hope you are taking a probiotic daily. I am currently being treated for C. Diff and had it for quite awhile before being diagnosed. The only thing that kept it from reaching dangerous levels were the strong probiotics I started taking when symptoms began. My last day of treatment is today....I hope it worked (crossing my fingers).

    I got my press in the supermarket in a neighborhood with a high hispanic population. Actually, I have learned to love this store....all kinds of goodies. When you master tortillas, move on to arepas!

    Have you had a stool test? I just had one after 9 months of misery (needed to know where every bathroom was) and found out that I have a C diff infection. Seems that your problems started when in the hospital as many of those infections start. A blood test is not enough, please get checked for bacterial and/or parasitic infections...and don't wait any...

    I've got a C difficile infection and will be treated for 10 days with Flagyl and probiotics, which I have been taking for months anyway. If I wasn't taking the probiotics, I think I'd be a lot worse! Blood work for gluten intolerance not back yet, but I feel a heck of a lot better without gluten. Wouldn't it be nice if that is all that was wrong with me...

    Just came home to a message from my doctor....one stool sample came back positive and he wants to treat me right away. Positive for what I don't know yet, but at least that may be all or part of my problem. i have to call him tomorrow.

    Back this past February, I had two pints of draught Blue Moon beer (wheat beer), and the next day spent over an hour in the bathroom. My first thought was that the beer was bad as I never has this problem before. Two weeks later I had the same bowel urgency (loose but formed stool) and spent another hour in the bathroom. Long story short as this repeated...

    I went to my favorite Japanese restaurant, mentioned my gluten issues, and they wouldn't serve me their miso soup.

    My nails are not peeling anymore....after 6 months gluten free.
  14. kendon0015
    Could you "clean" the iron of gluten by making several batches of gluten-free waffles and throwing them away....and by the 3rd batch or so, the next batch would be safe? Sounds reasonable...

    at Big Lots! I was just in the store to browse around and found a large display of Bob's Red Mill products, both gluten free and regular at very discounted prices. Perhaps they are in a Big Lots near you...sounds like an ad, doesn't it?

    For me, if the sulphite amount is large enough, I get a mild wheeze.

    One of my biggest symptoms for years before being diagnosed with hashimotos was insomnia and was 100% cured with synthroid...luckily Yes, perhaps your medication may need a second look. Also, what may seem obvious, be sure you aren't napping during the day which can affect your night time sleep. I know when I have a busy day, I'm really tired when I go...

    This may be boring to some: One of my favorites is good ol' baked apples. I fill the core with a touch of brown sugar, raisins, sliver of butter, and walnuts. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and bake. Apple pie without the crust. A la mode is nice too. Try with pears as well.

    I'm holding you to it! They are one of my favorite cookies. Thanks a bunch. Now if they only made gluten free italian rainbow cookies....That could be your next project! Please?

    I was taking Wholemega by New Chapter which caused bruising and nosebleeds after 3 weeks. They went right in the trash. I never had bruising or bleeding problems before...or since. From what I understand, this is not an unusual side effect of fish oil supplements.

    Okay, I NEED your pine nut cookie recipe.
  22. kendon0015
    I completely agree. The picture on the box was inviting, but the taste and texture were BAD. Don't these companies have a quality control department? Glutino lemon wafers are good!

    If you like chocolate, Enjoy Life chewy chocolate bars are VERY disappointing. Do they make actual candy chocolate bars?

    I have a gluten free app on my ipod touch with a great list of ingredients marked ok/not okay. I bring it food shopping as I can't rely on food labeling.

    Goya sells masarepa flour by the bag. At our local hispanic market, there were several other brands. Please check youtube for your very own private cooking lessons, and search arepas. I haven't had the time yet to play around with the ingredients which are still on my counter looking back at me. I have tried two recipes for gluten free yeast bread with...
