    Reverse tacos: meat, rotel tomatoes and crumbled corn chips inside lettuce wraps And leftover Bob's Corn Bread from thanksgiving

    What about all the Bob's Red Mill products that say "manufactured in a facility that uses soy"? Should I be concerned about that?

    For lunch today: peanut butter and jelly lettuce wraps First time I tried this--wow, it was darn good! I think I even like it better this way than with bread

    I think that celiac/gluten intolerance causes nutrient malabsorption and low magnesium levels, right? Women also have a natural drop in magnesium levels right before their period. So when those two are combined it would probably make PMS worse. (Low magnesium levels can cause irritabliity, cramps, headaches, PMS like symptoms.)

    At the recycling plant I volunteered at, the barrels sent for recycling from the Pepsi plant were marked that they had held "corrosive materials".

    Could it be from the artificial sweeteners? Those can be hard on your system.

    "I'm not doubting that it could be soy but check the other ingredients also" I'm keeping all ingredients in mind in my continuing "investigation" that has become a daily thing for all of us LOL, but in adding things up it seems fairly likely to be soy...I have been getting D after eating soy butter and soy milk, and severe dizziness after eating tofu....

    Corn Chex with apple juice instead of milk Good idea, thanks, hadn't thought of doing that

    "Check your vitamins, supplements, toothpaste" How will I know if those things have soy? Will it say "soy" in the ingredients, or is it hidden?

    Baked potato with a scoop of guacomole on top And a sliced apple Avocado has been a godsend for me in giving up dairy, it gives me that creaminess that's otherwise missing

    "I can't tell much of a difference off of dairy for a short period" My symptoms from dairy seem to be much more subtle than the ones from gluten. I stopped eating it for a few months, then started in again and thought I was fine, but after a week or so I noticed a slow buildup of restless sleep, anxiety and mild indigestion, just enough to make me uncomfortable...

    My 5th official day of being soy-free and feeling GREAT The past few mornings I have woken up with that "anxiety" feeling. I wake up and immediately there's this feeling of dread in my stomach, like I'm about to face a stressful day except, there's nothing stressful coming up in my day. It won't go away even though I'm not really nervous about anything...

    Has anyone found that probiotics helped them tolerate soy?

    Is all Udi's bread soy-free? The cinnamon raisin loaf I have in the freezer right now says soy-free and I hope the rest of them are too. It seems looking back that I have reacted to soy milk and soy butter, and also a gluten-free pizza I ate where I THOUGHT I was reacting to the dairy, but on further thought it was probably the soybean oil in the crust...

    Well espresso, I thought it would be an interesting topic too....I thought everyone would want to tell their story and talk about their symptoms! Guess it's just us here though LOL! I'd be interested though to know how different people seem to rank the severity of their symptoms, and how it compares to what I'm experiencing.

    "it actually smelled like bread when I opened the package!" I love that about the Rudi's and the Udi's bread! Tonight I am out and busy, and can't eat fast food so I am eating a salad that I packed this morning in my lunchbox. Having to do a lot more of packing food before I leave the house these days.

    "I'd fall asleep watching tv all the time. Lethargy, no energy..couldn't wake up in the morning.. Now since I'm off gluten, so much better..even in the morning I can wake up better." Me too...that's what used to happen to me also, falling asleep on the couch, low energy etc. I think that was because I was having such poor quality sleep at night.

    "The hardest part of my diet is the dairy part!!" It's hard...I'm doing OK without gluten but I am really craving cheese and dairy products the most. I tried eating dairy for about a week but I just didn't feel right. It was a heaviness and tiredness that built up in my system slowly. I decided to avoid dairy for awhile to give my body a chance to heal...

    So it seems that I am having reactions to soy also. I bought some soy milk in an attempt to avoid dairy, and ended up running to the bathroom with D. It seems to have messed me up pretty good. How long does a soy reaction usually last? And why is soy in everything anyway? I don't remember any recipe that says to add a tablespoon of "soy lecithin". What...

    "I will see about a therapist this week." Good for you!!!! It's hard to ask for help, that is a big step! You will feel SO much better when you have someone to talk to, and you feel like you're taking action. Please let us know how it goes! Also, do try to find a celiac support group in your area. Not only will they understand your feelings, they...

    The last time I ate out, I went to Boston Market and I did not know yet about the "don't even let the food touch your bread" thing. The cornbread was on my plate touching my food, and I just put it to the side and ate the rest of my food (oh so carefully researched chicken, steamed veggies and mashed potatoes without gravy.) I got the popping and gurgling...

    BeFree replied to cap6's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    "Now if they could only cook their french fries in gluten-free oil, I'd be in heaven!!" I would expect them to start (hopefully), if they're going to the lengths to train all their servers and cooks on cross-contamination! Hopefully this is a sign that they're taking it seriously! Red Robin has been one of my very favorite restaurants for a...

    For lunch today: Pork Chop Carrot Fries--mmm so good! I have to admit they didn't make it to my plate. I ate them while the meat was cooking

    "Where do you find that? I live in New York, Long Island. Would love that for Breakfast. Thanks" I buy most of my gluten-free food at HyVee, which is a great source for gluten-free if you live in the Midwest. I don't think you have HyVee on the East Coast. You'll have to use the store locator to check under your zip code at the Udi's website, to find...
