    Since you mentioned that it seemed to start or be triggered by a round of antibiotics, and you also mentioned that you tried SCD I suspect you've tried probiotics and/or yogurt, but just in case I thought I'd throw that out as a possibility, in addition to the other responses.

    Thanks for the suggestion bartfull! Only problem is, that cream of tartar is a by-product of wine making and thus also full of sulfites. I've heard arrowroot might work; I'll try that some day. In the meantime, I'm making nice fluffy pancakes and applesauce cake with baking soda and vinegar.

    Wet and gummy, yum! (j/k) Yeah, I've had that happen at least a couple times, it was just inedible and I hate throwing stuff away. I do bake with eggs, but not always as many as the recipe calls for, but I've heard the substitutions should do the trick as far as eggs go. I think the wet & gummy is due to the heaviness of the flours and there isn't enough...

    After someone mentioned these on here a few months back, I picked some up but have only tried them sporadically; trying to figure out other issues. In other words, I can't vouch for them for myself, yet. With that said, Solgar makes one called 'Vitamins Only' (no minerals) and on the front label it shows sugar, salt and starch free, in a vegetable capsule...

    I would actually suspect that the muscle tightness and possibly the TMJ (bruxism?) is part of the malabsorption of nutrients associated with Celiac, magnesium in particular for those issues. Here's an article I noted when I was researching: Open Original Shared Link Bruxism and magnesium, my clinical experiences since 1980 -- By C. Ploceniak I can...

    Bartfull, ref. the sals and berries -- I don't know. I don't eat a lot of berries. I did have some strawberries not too long ago and I think I did o.k. with them. And, I did have some tomato a couple of days ago and the knuckles on my right hand have been swollen... so it might be nightshades for me. I'll try organic potatoes and/or tomatoes in a couple months...

    Me too, Bubba's Mom! And when your food budget is very slim, not being able to eat taters doesn't help. I thought I might be o.k. with red potatoes, or that it was the chemicals they spray on them. But I got some red potatoes at a farmers market, which I assume weren't sprayed (?), and those bothered me too. I cut them a couple of weeks ago. I think I'm o...

    Hi tom, No worries about contradicting my statement. I must have missed the more recent developments. On the other hand, I have also seen plenty of very recent threads where someone had negative test results before going starting a gluten-free diet, but had great improvement on a gluten-free diet despite negative tests. And results in between, of course...

    Me too! Though I'm good with the cooking, it's the cleaning up afterward (with no dishwasher) that I'm not a fan of... btw, welcome Rob! You and my nephew share the same 1st name, apparently. I did want to mention, just in case your doctor didn't know; that IF you think you'll want to do the full gamut of celiac tests, it's best to do it before you...

    I've read it, and I also visit his blog quite often, he has some interesting articles. One thing I'm not completely sold on is the need to follow a low-carb diet. Also if you're interested, there have been several threads about this on the forum recently, I used the 'Search Forum via Google' box up on top of the page. Here's a sample:

    I hear ya! I certainly have felt like that some days myself. The day that nearly takes the cake was the day after I had just baked some beautiful and delicious gluten-free sugar cookies, I realize that one of my sensitivities is sulfites, of which corn starch is sulfited, which was in the baking powder I used to make the cookies. I think I still have a few...

    I use their tea tree oil toothpaste, labeled gluten-free and I've been fine with it.

    I would also suggest to 1st double-check to make sure you're not being cc'd with gluten somehow. And 2nd double-check any newer items you've added to your diet, or double-check ingredients to make sure they're still safe. Sometimes companies change ingredients and something that used to be o.k. isn't anymore.
  15. ciamarie
    You've gotten some great suggestions already, but I thought I'd throw in my few pennies worth too. It's possible there's another intolerance at work, I'm not sure if you keep a food diary or not. I noticed pretty quickly after I started a gluten-free diet that anything with maltodextrin, and sometimes corn syrup would make me really tired. I had to throw...

    Dizziness is another celiac symptom, some have found that B12 supplements are helpful with that. Though I agree with the others, having her tested for celiac if possible, then starting a strict gluten-free diet is probably the best idea.

    It might also depend on the brand of tea. I had to give up coffee because it was bothering me too much. I switched to black tea (which I would sometimes drink before quitting the coffee, anyway...); and I drink Red Rose brand. I did try a generic (less expensive) brand a few months back, and after a couple days I started getting glutened symptoms, so I went...

    So you got me to dig out my various salt containers, here's what I found:

    I thought I'd jump in here, since I read that you have it (a possbile DH or other rash) in your ears. Me too! However, I can finally say that it's just about under control, after about 2 1/2 years. Long story short, in addition to being totally gluten-free, I also discovered that both MSG and sulfites aggravate it. Ditching the gluten (and going low iodine...

    There's an outlet store not too far from me, in Spokane. I might have to check it out, but could you advise what the ingredients are? If it has corn syrup or corn starch, and probably potato starch I would have to pass.

    When you mentioned grapes, the first thing I thought was sulfites, since I've been having to avoid that as well as gluten (and soy and msg). See here: Open Original Shared Link

    I've had their carrots several times over the last few months and haven't had any problems with them. I just wash and peel them before cooking (and nibbling a bit while I'm chopping!).

    +1 to Suave for shampoo and conditioner. For bath soap I've been using Ivory, can't beat it! For facial moisturizer I use Oil of Olay (or a knock-off I found at Winco), seems to be fine for me. I think I tried Baby shampoo several years ago, and it made my scalp really dry, but that was before I started eating gluten-free. For regular skin moisturizer, I...

    I've had one or 2 dreams like that, and I also had similar dreams about smoking after I quit cigarettes!
