    I have a friend who's vegan, so when I make things to bring and share I always make it gluten free and vegan. If you start looking at all the (non soy based) vegan items and then just edit them to fit your other needs it makes it a lot easier to find other substitutes and food items so that you don't feel as restricted. If you keep forcing yourself to think...

    To everyone else: I hadn't realized there was so much possibility of issues even if you don't have celiac's. I thought I had done a lot of research on this stuff, how did I miss so much important stuff?! And thanks to so many of you responding. =] I really only know anyone with celiac's through multiple people. And no one in my family has any issue...

    At this point I'm pretty much not eating gluten, just the very occasional bit, and I truly can't even fathom the thought of having to eat a lot for multiple months to get the test.

    Mushroom and Laura: You're both right. I don't even feel that pressured to eat it, I think I do it to myself. This is my last semester of college, so maybe I'll be busy enough that I won't have as many opportunities to have to make myself say no and I can get into the habit of stopping myself. Thanks guys. =] I know it sounds like a stupid thing to be...

    I'm totally down with sounding harsh, I'm pretty brash/sarcastic so I sound that way myself a lot... That is a pretty good reason though. I hear about so many people not getting correct results with their testing too, so you could have it and not find out that way. So maybe I should just try thinking of it as a strong possibility so I feel like I legitimately...

    I think a lot of people just don't really realize how hard it is to be the only one who can't eat gluten (or anything). So even if they do something that seems blatantly insensitive, and even if they're trying to be supportive, they really just don't know how you're feeling.

    If I had celiac I would go all out, there's no doubt about that. I'm not sure I even know what I think I'm trying to ask, which is why it's so rambly, long and stupid sounding. I know that if I eat gluten there'll be repercussions, if there wasn't I wouldn't be here in the first place. I guess it's more that with celiac I know people who have had worse...

    I haven't been tested, so technically I guess I don't know. My mom and I agree that I have very few of the symptoms most commonly associated with it. I don't really know how to word it besides listing all the symptoms I do have, but I've looked into it plenty and am pretty positive.

    Over a year ago now I started a crazy intense food testing process/elimination diet to try and figure out if gluten was what was bothering, and more importantly, if it was the only thing bothering me. I am positive I don't have celiac's and am sensitive to gluten. I went through getting pretty depressed about it, and then okay, then back again. At this...

    Thanks for the detailed rinsing instructions! I read that too. I'm thinking I'll retest it a few months down the road and make sure to do a super thorough wash.

    I have yet to add Millet, but it's on my list as I add things back. I still have many grains to try!
  12. giggleburger
    Just found that they do, just don't know how to delete the topic... So ignore this.
  13. giggleburger
    Keep going with the natural things, like fruits and veggies. But look into alternative flours and things like that. Are beans okay? Add those in. Garbanzo beans can be made into a flour, and of course hummus. While other beans can be added to quinoa or eaten by themselves. Amaranth, potato, almond, and Sorghum flour are just some of the gluten free...

    Does anyone know if the In n Out milkshakes contain soy or some sort of corn product (like corn syrup)? I've heard they're gluten free, but can't find any ingredient information to find out about other things.

    It's definitely not a strange reaction to feel sad, it's totally understandable. You're facing having to overhaul your whole diet. Just focus on those positives you mentioned. Do get excited that you're going to feel better, because you WILL. And you can find substitutes for plenty of foods. Pasta is a super easy one. There's lots of rice pastas, or...

    My friend was on antibiotics and that's when she became lactose intolerant, so that sounds like the culprit. How terrifying that antibiotics can do that!
  17. giggleburger
    Oh man, that sucks. You have a dairy reaction cycle or something. I wonder why that happens? Hm....
  18. giggleburger
    Yeah, I was contemplating that because there's the chance of having reactions when you first go gluten free, right? Does it often happen that things don't bug you if you wait a few months after finishing the elimination diet? That would be a nice surprise to be able to add things back later. =]
  19. giggleburger
    Okay, it's nice to know that some people here have a stand alone issue with it (not that I'm happy you react to it, but you know what I mean). So, I'll just cross quinoa off the list and keep going.
  20. giggleburger
    That is a much better way of looking at it. I will definitely try to change my mind set. When I started this I planned to stay positive and think like that, but somewhere down the road I guess that got a little lost? Hm, that's possible. I didn't seem to have issues with potatoes though, and those are starchy, but maybe I'll have to keep an eye on that...
  21. giggleburger
    Okay, I guess I just need to not dwell on that so much. I know I tend to over think things, so I need to try not to do that... I'll just keep going with my planned course and hope it works out. I also wasn't aware that quinoa wasn't a true grain. Interesting. Thanks guys.
  22. giggleburger
    So, I've been doing the elimination diet and having been adding some foods back successfully. Some fruits and veggies, dairy, eggs, and fish were all fine. Then I tried quinoa. It was gluten free and everything. I mixed it with some fish and cheese that I've been eating for weeks, nothing new but the grain, and it did not go over well. And now I'm...
  23. giggleburger
    Is it possible you have some sort of issue with peanuts or whatever is mixed to make the peanut buttery part of the M&Ms?
  24. giggleburger
    Okay, I'm just ending my first week, so I'll hope for it to lessen as it goes on. Thanks for the assurance. =]

    Wow, that page may not be tons of information, but it is super helpful.
