    By the way, realize that this is a hard adjustment for your hubby too. I think you need to have a heart to heart with him and let him know just how hard all of this is for you, and how much you need him to understand that you don't have a choice here - its not like you're being a picky eater. It sounds like maybe he doesn't fully get the reality of your illness...

    My in laws don't really get it but I found that if I say "My doctor says I can't have it" it makes a big difference. A lot of people put a lot of weight in what docs think/say. You might try that so that it looks like the doc is depriving you of something you'd ordinarily want... I am going to a Superbowl party this weekend - the first social event I've...

    I am also at the stage of things where I am still narrowing down the things that are affecting me and am also frustrated by the dwindling foods available to me! But - I am not also recovering from an eating disorder, that makes the situation all the more difficult. You have my sympathy! I hope you are getting the support you need during this difficult stage...

    Oh and thanks for the heads up that the B12 should be between my toes! I will give that a try.

    It's so true, sometimes we read things into people's posts that aren't there. Generally I have to say that this board is overwhelmingly positive, friendly and supportive. I think it's a special place that way. I have been on another board that a handful of people turned into a pretty negative place to be. So my view just may be a bit colored by that experience...

    Oh don't take me the wrong way - I definitely see the value in asking people to cite their sources. It's all about how it's asked... some people are sounding a bit militant and I think it might disuade some people from bothering to post for fear they will be called upon to defend every little point. I definitively have held back from posting to certain conversations...

    Hi, there's a big post right now about exactly this in the Post Diagnosis forum, fyi

    My tummy got flat after 2 or 3 months of gluten-free - but now at 5 months it's suddenly ballooned up again. I've been trying to figure out if I've been doing anything differently and I can't say that I have. I can't figure it out. Hope it goes away again !

    I also have not had any testing done but have found that I have reactions to corn in any form. Ive just discovered I also react when it's in a highly processed form like fructose (sugar-like sweetener derived from corn. I can't tolerate regular sugar and prior to going gluten-free I used fructose for years without issues.). I've been feeling lousy and thought...

    OB I wish we'd had that, it was a terrible blood draw . Next time.

    One other point I forgot to make: The whole thing about backing every little thing up with official research. Research in the area of GI is really far behind what many of us on here already know. If we only followed published research, then those of us with NCGI would not have "existed" before 2009, and largely still don't if you look at the medical community...

    Hmmm, I am relatively new to the board but I have to say I kind of agree with AVR1962. Seems just recently there's been quite a lot of slightly biting posts. I've seen them and the negativity has bothered me but I generally prefer to avoid such things online so I stay out of it and don't reply. There are lots of reasons why people might...annoy...with their...

    Just jumping in with a little note about King Arthur's flour which you mentioned being nervous about. Not sure if you are oats sensitive but if so, this is not the flour for you as they process oats in the same facility as their flour.

    Yes, what ravenwoodglass just said! I did not touch any alcohol for over 3 years because I found it made me so ill and I would have 3 day hangovers from just a few drinks, even if I had it on a full stomach. After going gluten-free I read about gluten and grains and alcohol, and wondered if that had been the problem - it was! I am totally fine wih potato...

    That's me too. I've always had problems but was taking an herbal supplement that really helped; once I went gluten-free it didn't do a thing for me, I have to take a Benadryl every night in order to sleep the night through. Doc says that's ok but who wants to take a drug 7 days a week to sleep! :0P

    Oh no, some of us really have no butts. Just legs that go up to the trunk, nothing in between!

    Omg I'm just catching up, congratulations! That's the best surprise ever .
  18. Aly1
    What a pain! It's a good thing you asked if they got them!

    Oh man, why did someone say pierogies. I love pierogies. I am now having a major craving!

    He does have a strong opinion but I dunno, he has a patient sitting in front of him who's pretty messed up for her age, who he believes if we make some changes will be able to get out of her wheelchair and resume a normal healthy life...his way of getting her there is to create as pure an internal environment as he can. Pure foods in, good supplements, the...

    Oh good, thanks I wanted to make sure I wouldn't gluten myself if I trusted the brand. Thanks

    Phooey, nobody? I have several in my cupboard and don't know whether to risk them or throw them...

    By the way, the article posted above does state "...alcohol

    I'm just saying what my doc said to me. Can't post studies to back it up because I only have his opinion. Which I value because he has helped me more than any other doc out there and has already made a huge improvement in my health. So if he says he thinks it's a bad idea for me in my current state to have a weekly drink, I am just going to go with it, as...

    When I mentioned to my doc yesterday that I enjoy 1 vodka drink per week he was...appalled. Keep in mind that I am quite sick and have a long way to go healing-wise. But he told me to cut it out 100%, that he believes it contributes to leaky gut. Doesnt even want me to take a sip of my hubby's wine! He said when I'm healthy I could consider a regular drink...
