OK...so please read first before giving answers.. So, I am convinced that my gluten allergy came about last year during my freshman year at college. I started eating wheat (bread) sandwiches every day..previous to that I had not really had wheat bread. I ate it occasionally and ate normal foods that contained wheat as ingrdients with no problems...junk...

The one thing I thought of when reading your post is that maybe you have other food intolerances/allergies...besides gluten. I found out that I was allergic to a few other things besides gluten, so the reason why you may be feeling food some days / bad other days is that your body may be reacting to other foods you are eating. Just a thought...if you...

hey! i use a product called "Gluten Flam". I think its pretty good. They include digestive enzymes amylase, glucoamylase, cellulase and also aloe vera to help calm your system. They are made specially for gluten intolerance and do not contain dairy, gluten, eggs. i would recommend them for you to try. they are from apex energetics...a pretty well...

thanks!! ahh i really want milkshakes..but I am still somewhat sensitive so I am laying off the dairy...maybe one once in a while I might try....and i was also thinking of trying gluten free protein shakes..i guess kinda similar to the milkshakes idea...they have a bunch of calories.... i just want to make sure that everything is going well on the inside...

how did they test your for SIBO ? Was is via stool sample or can they actually look at your intestines?

Since ive already been gluten free for four months...do you think they would still want an endoscopy? I know some healing has probably taken place...but do you think a doctor would recommend that to see how my intestines are healing?

I've been gluten free for about four months now....somewhat self-diagnosed because other doctors wouldn't listen. But, I have still have continual trouble gaining weight and a lot of bowel movements, so I am going to a GI doctor in 2 weeks. So I'm not going in to ask or figure out if I have celiacs...because I know for sure I am atleast gluten intolerant...

thanks! do you know if most people's villi usually heal naturally on their own? would a doctor give anything to help them heal? i wasnt scoped before going gluten free...i started with the nutrition side of it and started eating gluten free... immediately i felt better and have continue to eat gluten free for four months... so I wont be able to know...

I am naturally thin to begin with and have always wanted to gain weight...so when I found out I had to go gluten free...I figured I would gain weight..since I would be properly absorbing food and not eating things I was allergic to. But, the opposite has happened and i have lost weight..HOW??? i dont understand. I am eating healthy foods (because I have...

Long story short...I have been gluten free for a few months and trying to gain weight!! But, no matter what I still cant gain healthy weight and actually am losing fat...(not really pounds so much). My holistic nutritionist had run tests and said I had a lot of bacteria and parasites in my system. She had given me things to take to get rid of them.....

Has anyone heard anything or used a product called "Gluten Flam"? It is a pill like enzyme that you are supposed to take with meals, and it provides enzymes as well as specific enzymes to help you digest hidden sources of gluten in case you come in contact with it. I have been taking it, as my holistic nutritionist put me on it when I first started...

Thanks for all the ideas!! I can't really have nuts or dairy, so almonds/cashews/ etc. as well as yogurt are unfortunately not good for me. I can try the breakfast bars though, and maybe have more gluten-free pasta / beans, etc. Any more ideas you guys have would be appreciated!! Thanks!

I'm having trouble finding foods that will help me gain weight/put pounds on. I pretty much eat as clean as possible, and can't really have too many snacks right now, since I am only about 2 months gluten free. Any ideas on food items / snacks that have helped you guys gain weight plus they fill you up? Thanks!! Current diet looks usually like...

It was a holistic nutritionist / allergist....so it was a little different. She used bioenergetic testing, so it wasn't the typical allergy test done. Before all of this started, I was eating wheat bread and bagels everyday..so I think that's where the problem started from. I was consuming a very high percentage of gluten. Especially because of the...

Hey...I know that with a gluten free diet you are supposed to be 100% or nothing at all. Right now I have been eating gluten free after I went to an allergist / nutritionist. Gluten and wheat both came up on the list of stuff I was allergic to in addition to dairy. But, after following a strict clean diet for 1 month, I was retested and only "wheat"...
