    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?
  10. llama3
    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?
  15. llama3
    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 ...

    I had bad acne all through my teen years. Now I have very dry skin - on my hands it's so dry that it will split open for no reason, and I've tried different lotions and none of them help. I also have hidradenitis suppurativa, and keratosis pilaris, which is worse on my lower calves and I actually have bald patches on my calves (I can't shave them because...

    Not in NY. But thanks! I actually have a couple of great doctors, but they are both specialists in other fields, so they can't help me on this one.
  18. llama3
    Thanks! This doctor is a naturopath as well as MD so I'm hoping he will be more willing to LISTEN to me and to my experience (a doctor - listen to a patient's experience? shocking!), but if not, I will certainly advocate for myself, as I have had enough of being pushed around by doctors. You are right, ultimately I have to know what I know and be firm about...

    There's a restaurant here that serves gluten free food (but they also serve glutenous food) and I've eaten there twice, both times had problems afterwards. I don't know if it was from CC or because I'm still having trouble with a lot of foods, but either way I'd rather just stay home and eat food I know won't hurt me. I'm finally at a point where I would...

    ARCHIVED Pet Food

    llama3 replied to Jaxonthehuman's topic in Super Sensitive People

    I thought I was feeding my cat gluten-free food because I saw "gluten free" on the package, but just looked at it again and you are right ... it has barley as one of the first ingredients! Another reason why I'm not getting better. Argh.
  21. llama3
    Wow, thank you so much! You are very sweet to say that. I hope that you get the answers you need for your daughters.
  22. llama3
    Yeah. My mom is actually eating gluten-free, but I guess she doesn't react to CC the way I apparently do. Either that or she avoids CC so well that she hasn't encountered it, I don't really know. To be fair, she did finally clean the toaster oven after I convinced her to. I'm realizing that it's probably hard for her to accept that I'm sick and to feel...

    You guys are funny.

    It's good to know that people can come around in time. It always surprises me how insensitive people can be about other people's illnesses and disabilities. It actually seems to be the rule rather than the exception, but it still surprises me every time. Maybe one has to have suffered chronic illness oneself in order to learn that sensitivity, or maybe...

    Thank you. I'm sorry you've gone through so much! but it really helps to be told that I'm not alone and not crazy. Wow, that site has a lot of information! Thank you!
