About Me
I believe I am allergic to wheat, yeast, soy, corn, rye, pork, tomatoes, citrus, coffee, chocolate, and nickel(hydrogenated oils). I believe I am sensitive to RF(cellphone) energy, electrical fields, and 'dirty electricity'.
I have very bad bipolar disorder. I have red hair.
I'm seriously not going to try to eat enough gluten to get a positive test for celiac disease. I would be completely dysfunctional and probably in a mental hospital. Forget that. Might get a genetic test.
My daughter has unexplained iron deficiency anemia and is nauseous for no reason a lot, sometimes has stomach pains. Her celiac test was 'normal'. My son has sores in his mouth all the time and joint pain and is allergic to shellfish and nuts.
I am happily married to a Filipino man since 1989; We have a rice cooker and eat jasmine rice from the asian store practically every day. It's some of the lesser sources of gluten and other things I think I have to work on. I don't have too much problem with my stomach or bowels. Some bloating, some constipation.

Upon thinking about it some more I also realize that I was putting a lot of butter on those grits. Maybe the casein, or the combination. -
I think I was having very strong cravings for dairy foods when I wrote that original post. I still am. I'm still not sure whether I need to be lactose free or casein free, but since the autism kids are casein free, maybe casein affects the brain. My biggest problems are in my brain. I have very bad, I mean very, very bad (I've been in mental hospitals...

Just out of curiosity, what KIND of rice are you people eating that is making you tired? Maybe you should try a different type of rice, maybe. My husband is from the Philippines. He buys 50-pound sacks of milagrosa jasmine rice (I think it comes from Thailand) at the asian store all the time. We cook it in an appliance called a rice cooker. It is far...

ARCHIVED Anyone Recover From Chronic Insomnia After Going gluten-free?
lwatsonz replied to carrieanna76's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I read a book entitled "Zapped, Why your cell phone shouldn't be your alarm clock" and after reading it I quit keeping my cellphone by my bed to recharge at night, it now recharges in the kitchen overnight. I replaced the compact fluorescent bulb in the lamp next to my bed with an incandescent bulb (or you could use an led bulb). I moved the power strip... -

I suspect corn in the 'hearing voices' thing. I heard some voices when I ate grits for breakfast every day in spite of antipsychotic medication I was taking at the time. It could have been other things, but was a strong coincidence. -
I have been working on becoming gluten-free for about 4 weeks now and I seem to be feeling better, but I am wondering if I should make and eat homemade yogurt like I used to. I think I am allergic to yeast. More than 25 years ago I believed I had a problem with wheat and had myself tested for food allergies. (I'm 52). As best as I can remember they told...
