Thank you for your response. Of course I am not planning to ingest any, but even if I wash my hands I still might touch an area of skin where the sunscreen was applied and then touch my mouth or food. OK, it does seem pretty paranoid ... and yet, there was a time when I thought it was paranoid to think that I could be glutened by kissing my boyfriend...

The church I'm currently attending uses the Ener-G wafers. They taste a little different from regular communion hosts and are crunchier but I haven't had a reaction to them.

I couldn't find the sunscreen that I usually use so I purchased a different one. It doesn't say gluten free but it states on the bottle that the inactive ingredients are derived from sunflower oil. When I got home, I looked it up online and found this on the company website: "Badger Sunscreens are filled in a facility that also processes wheat and gluten...

I sometimes make smoothies with straight coconut milk with no additives. Doesn't "So Delicious" have additives in it?

Well, I really hope some of it helps. I'm not sure about chicken broth made from meat, but I know that bone broth does have protein in the form of gelatin. I can link you to some online recipes if you PM me.

That's really too bad. Have you tried homemade bone broth? That might help. If I were you I would definitely check out the GAPS diet and consider trying the intro, which is mainly broth, stock, and blended soups. You also need to take high-quality probiotics. The idea is to heal your digestion so that, in time, you can introduce more foods. There is...

I eliminated dairy from my diet for over a month and was able to reintroduce goat milk yogurt and kefir without a problem. That was a number of months ago. A couple days ago I thought I would try goat milk and see how that went. It went very badly, I am still quite sick with stomach cramps, nausea and diarrhea. I also feel weak and tired, and I have a...

Writing a letter to my family explaining the situation seemed to help them to finally "get it." They are being much more understanding now. There's also being a broken record, and just giving them time to adjust to the idea. I hope you're eating enough! If your mom won't cook meals that you can eat, you may need to negotiate a situation where you do...

Eating tuna every day is not a good idea. For one thing there are low amounts of mercury even in the wild-caught variety. Wild Planet says "low mercury," not "no mercury." Are you unable to digest chicken?

Yeah, this happened to me too. I found keeping a food diary helpful. One thing to consider is that your digestive system is probably damaged from eating gluten and needs time to heal, so you may be reacting to a lot of foods that wouldn't be a problem for a healthy person. I have found a slightly modified form of the GAPS diet to be very helpful; many of...

Thanks. I don't know if it's the casein or the lactose. I hope you figure out what's going on with you.

I haven't been around here for a while because I've been feeling SO much better after completely cutting out gluten. So yesterday I got overly optimistic. I've been eating yogurt with no problem (but no other dairy), and I thought I would try some goat milk (which is supposed to be easier to digest - maybe that's a myth) and see if I tolerated it. I did...

Hi, I haven't been on this forum for over a month, but I thought I should give an update just in case someone remembered or came across the thread and wanted to know what happened. I've now been twice to a holistic doctor who has approved my diet (I'm basically doing the GAPS diet), accepts my self-diagnosis by elimination diet and agrees that with my various...

No - does that really work?

Thank you. I have tried to make my house gluten-free ... replaced pots, pans, cutting boards, etc. I didn't replace things like plates or silverware. I checked all my personal care products and just realized last week that my cat's food - which I thought was gluten-free - actually isn't (which is a problem because he likes to rub himself on my face ...
