I haven't posted here in a long time! Hello Long story short - I had chronic fatigue syndrome for 6 years that completely resolved after going gluten-free. I still have a lot of issues with food sensitivities, feeling lousy pretty much every day, and chronic heartburn etc so something is still going on. While getting a full workup, I asked my doc if...

Thanks both, I will check these options out! Much appreciated.

I am in desperate need of a good iron supplement asap, as the one I've been using is giving me brain fog and is therefore really suspect. I need it to be gluten-free, corn free and dairy free but something is amiss. Hoping to try a new brand (ideally sugar free too) and see how it goes. It has to be a higher mg one - I need to take 150mg per day as I...

Hmmm. That makes me wonder if I have other food issues contributing to it - I'm on day 4 now (without strawberries). But I am eating fatty things including whole-fat dairy...

So sad, I love my strawberry smoothies. How long do flare-ups last?

I totally avoid anything that says it's made on shared equipment. I don't even care if they say they're a GMP facility. I got so sick eating muffins that had baking powder processed on shared lines...granted I was eating a lot of those muffins, but it showed me that if I want to be truly gluten-free, that isn't the way to go about it.

This might be a bit out of left field, but can anyone recommend a slippery elm supplement that's corn and gluten free? And preferably dairy and sugar free too..?

It's been quite a while since I posted here, but I'm back due to a new problem that I need help getting rid of. Background: I am very gluten intolerant and never had gastro issues of any kind. I'm usually pretty solid in that area. I started juicing at the beginning of the year and was feeling so good on it. So good that I ignored the mild heartburn I...

I've got to say that I think Dejibo is right - she came here for support and was feeling overwhelmed, and the response she got was to have her current diet picked apart and having to defend it. She didn't ask anyone what they thought of her diet. It would be one thing to have a single person gently warn about being lead astray by people with the best intentions...

I think you're right -I do plan to do a rotational diet after completing my elimination diet!

Baaagh, longer than 3 weeks. Omg I already thought it was way too long. How long should I mentally plan for here? And are there any starchy alternatives to rice and sweet potatoes? I hesitate to try a new food right now but maybe I have to. I feel too that I need it (starch) if I have any hope of not losing weight, but I would be surprised if rice isn...

Unfortunately I really hate sweet potatoes! . You hit the nail on the head about brown rice - I eat it all the time - and suspect I should do a trial without it. But I don't eat any other grains so I'd be down to just veggies and meat...unappealing thought.

Very interesting. How long are you supposed to wait before eating the food again, when doing the rotational/diversified diet?

I am gearing up to do a strict elimination diet leaving only non nightshade veggies, lamb and turkey, and maybe brown rice (not sure in an part with that one, though I probably should.) This is going to be tough because I really don't like proteins and only eat them because I should. It's really important that I don't lose any weight because I am down to...

Just be sure the gluten-free products you are eating are CERTIFIED gluten-free. Otherwise they may not actually be gluten-free at all...
