    Sorry to hear that you're having such a difficult time; I'm experiencing similar issues so I know how scary it can be, especially the weird reactions to medications!! The best advice I can give is to go back to the absolute basics. Feed yourself the way you would feed a sick infant; rice, lamb, chicken, vegetables, fruits, maybe eggs. Always whole foods...

    I've found that my gluten-induced anxiety is related to magnesium deficiency. Magnesium binds to undigested fats so is quickly depleted with malabsorption. The easiest way to boost magnesium levels is to absorb through the skin. Epsom salts are actually magnesium sulphate. 1 to 2 cups in a warm bath for 20 minutes helps to reduce the anxiety immediately...

    Since I am from eastern Canada I can't give you specific suggestions for Vancouver. However, I will advise to to be very careful with what may seem like familiar products. I often see product recommendations from celiacs in the U.S. but when I check they have different ingredients when manufactured/sold in Canada. Good luck!!

    Visalus, or Body by Vi, shakes say they are gluten free but the label also says that they're made in a facility that processes wheat. I have given up on them - some batches are ok and some made me sick. I've just heard about Sunwarrior protein shakes that are supposed to be allergen-free; no gluten, soy or dairy as it is made from rice. Maybe check them...

    I'm sorry to hear that you still aren't feeling well. Have you eliminated gluten in other aspects of your life? It took months to figure out that I was getting exposed to gluten through hair products, cosmetics, shaving cream, and our dogs' food & treats. I've even gotten sick from licking an envelope, and from drywall compound dust when my husband was...

    You have discovered the basic Larabar recipe!! Approximately 8 dates and 1/2 to 1/3 cup chopped nuts makes 4 bars. I've made most of the flavours by copying the ingredients from the Larabars; they are alot cheaper if you make your own! My favourite variation is pistachio-lime, made with 1/2 c pistachios plus 1 tbsp lime juice and the zest of one lime. ...

    Sorry, I don't have your miracle recipe but I did go through the same thing with my son. Perhaps you can start by adding more nutrition to his beloved pancakes? I always add several tbsp. of hemp hearts as well as mashed banana and/or berries or other fruits to pancakes mixes. You could also use chia, flax, and probably even some form of quinoa ( maybe...

    The muscle weakness is likely related to magnesium deficiency. Magnesium binds to undigested fats & is excreted; it is also depleted by digestion of sugars. Low magnesium also causes heart palpitations, tachycardia (rapid heart rate), insomnia & mental changes like anxiety. Epsom salts are actually magnesium sulphate - 2 to 3 cups in a warm bath...
