    Oh you poor thing! I'm not there yet, but can't wait :-). Hang in there.

    Most staff is clueless about what they use in their foods. That's why when I do eat out I'm just hoping for the best and try not to stress out. A lot of waiters/servers give you the, "oh not another health nut" look. I had one waiter at brewzy tell me where the low calorie food selections were after I asked him if the had gluten free plates.

    Maybe one of the walls is moldy. Mild is bad too. Who knows?

    I don't follow it to the T either. I eat dairy because I tolerate it. There's nothing for me like a piece of Brie! I eat tubers and fruits mostly fir my carbs. Love the nuts!

    Anything involving a wrap, tortilla, or sandwich like is asking for trouble. I just avoid Mexican food that isn't carne asada.

    Anyone here following the paleo/primal movement to manage their celiac? I find it easier to manage this disease being paleo. No grains so far has meant no contamination, no need for an additional toaster, more control of my blood sugar, and easier on my adrenals. The only hard part is figuring out the fat/protein/carb portions. I find that if i cut on carbs...

    Yes, I had all the symptoms prior to being diagnosed. Positive antibodies and positive biopsy. Just in this one instance i had respiratory problems, but i didnt actually ingest the breadcrums, i mightve breathed them in. Maybe there's something else in that room that I'm allergic to, who knows?

    It's been really tough. I had to quit my job because I was foggy. The thing is that my blood sugars are normal (high 80's low 90's fasting) and If I follow a moderate carb diet, they stay that way. The problems begin when I have something high in processed sugar. The coke spiked up my BG to 184 after an hour (was feeling really foggy) and within 8 minutes...

    Wow! Your stories are exactly what I've been going through and have been trying to find the answer for for so long! Last year I had bronchitis and they prescribed corticosteroids. I did not react well to the medication because I started having horrible panic attacks. Anyway, ever since then, I've had these hypoglycemic symptoms and exhaustion that didn't...

    Hello! Just wondering if this was normal. I was at the family computer working and after a while I started having these needle in my chest symptoms along with runny nose and phlegm at the back of my throat. I look down and there were breadcrumbs all over the desk that were left there by my DH. Is this normal? I haven't had any GI troubles, just respiratory...

    uote name='IrishHeart' timestamp='1328972571' post='772631'] Just curious...how long have you been gluten-free? Could be you are just still healing your gut and unable to digest some complex starchy carbs. It is not always about gluten and possible CC. I know it took me a while ( 9-10 MONTHS) before I could handle some of the more starchy...

    Hi there. I saw that you visited me so I thought I'd see who you were. I hope you got over that buckwheat reaction.

  13. SGRhapsodos
    Some spices have gluten in them, especially bulk ones. Read very single label!!!!! Also try eliminating other grains like corn and see how u do.
  14. SGRhapsodos
    Sounds interesting. Maybe I'll wait a bit and then give it a try. Let me wait until the gut heals a bit.

    @RIceguy: You are very right! I'm beginning to find new fondness for carrots and squash, zucchini, and I'm beginning to see that if I increase my fruit intake, I don't crave carbs as much. Who would've known that I could be well fed on a diet full of fruits and veggies? In my country it's not very common that you don't eat your breads and rice, so my family...

    Let her try to eliminate grains (rice, corn) and then add them one at a time to see if she reacts.
  17. SGRhapsodos
    :-( aw. Why don't you try some applesauce? I'm sure most of them are gluten free.
  18. SGRhapsodos
    Thanks for the advice, guys! I guess it's better to stay off grains, period. If I eat veggies, potatoes, fruit and meat I feel good all day :-). Just miss the good ol' carbs. I used to LOVE my bread! The gluten-free brands don't do it for me. Good luck with trying out the buckwheat and I hope others can add it to their list of foods.
  19. SGRhapsodos
    The box said clearly gluten free, but you know how it is, you can't trust anything. I still feel like there a brick in my stomach and it's been a day. I was reading about lectins and how they affect some people with autoimmune diseases.

    The brand I bought was "kasha" and it is labeled gluten free. I wanted to give it a try since I love my carbs but can't seem to tolerate any of them (my post above was a typo, too many days of rice will constipate me and bloat me to the point where I can't wear my clothes). I also react to gluten-free oats. They give me a rash. I was just very surprised by...
  21. SGRhapsodos
    This poster makes me feel better. I complained for a long time until I started seeing that I actually loved the taste of fresh fruit, veggies, etc and most importantly: they make me feel great! Until I understood that this is a lifestyle change, and that I'm not doomed because I can't eat cake, is when I actually felt lucky that my disease is very easy to...

    Does anyone else react to buckwheat and feels ill after having corn, rice, etc? I just ate some buckwheat (they say it's safe) and feel awful, brain fog, stomachache, bloating... If I eat rice for many days in a row I won't get constipated and too much corn does the same. It seems the one way I feel great is when I eat potatoes or roots and stuff. Anyone...
  23. SGRhapsodos
    I noticed I had episodes of brain fog, slurred speech, weakness and fatigue after meals, especially with rice and carbs after going gluten-free. I even had reactions to sweetened yogurt. The one way I stopped feeling this way was to eliminate all processed sugars, alcohol, boxed cereal, etc. I now eat more protein and things like sweet potatoes, quinoa, and...

    I started feeling better in gluten-free to then feel worse as the days passed by. I found out I was deficient in a lot of minerals and vitamin b's. Eat a lot of fruits, veggies, and nuts and if you can avoid all those gluten-free products. They are have awful nutritional value! It's better to eat potatoes, yams, corn on the cob, all whole starches because...
  25. SGRhapsodos
    Incant drink anymore. Wine especially makes me very ill. I just gave it up. I can tell you I look better than ever!
