    I either react to gluten free hot dogs, udi's buns, or both. I'm presuming it's gluten cc. I don't have an issue with soy, (no issue with tofu), I don't have an issue with corn, (corn on the cob is fine), I don't have a problem with whole rice, etc. But it really doesn't matter what in them doesn't make me feel good, I avoid them.

    Are you crazy?? Enjoy the forbidden foods while you can! Speaking bags of gluten, the week before my dx I had scoured the store for one because I wanted to try making some vegan dishes with it. What a waste of my money! Also, my personal experience is that I hardly felt better being gluten-free after 2 weeks. It's reaching a year now and I still suffer...

    This is stuff at home, I don't go anywhere that require stocking a car or office. It's also dairy free, and chocolate free and grain-free. -Fruits: apples, bananas, oranges, grapefruit, grapes, whatever's on-sale and doesn't require lots of prep (like, say, a pineapple) -Meat: Roast is a super easy, if long, meal to prepare, and if you buy a giant roast...

    Do you get that same feeling from just a glass of milk? Have a large glass of milk on an empty stomach one morning, see what happens. If that's not an issue, it could be something you're adding to the yogurt or the culture in the yogurt. If the glass of milk DOES affect you, you could then try a glass of milk or a glass taking a lactose enzyme or just a glass...

    Mental health problems are a symptom of celiac disease just as much as diarrhea is. I wonder where you'd be without your husband supporting you Gemini, if instead he thought your diet was a sham and decided to divorce you over it, instead of baking you bread. You're 'molly-coddled' at home regularly as far as I can tell.

    How about you tell me why you, personally, would get into the situation that the OP gets into, and furthermore, chooses to eat the gluten instead of not eat the gluten. And then think about why you'd continually do such a thing. The answer "I would never do that" isn't allowed. Place yourself in a state of mind and social context where that would be what...

    The OP's name is Unhappycoeliac. They themselves report failing at accomplishing a necessary part of their life, grocery shopping regularly. At least I am offering suggestions besides 'don't eat gluten dumbass'.

    Your better tomorrow never comes because you seem to eat gluten regularly. Prayer isn't going to help. Not eating gluten will help. However, if this is me, my next decision is to go to a gas station and buy something, or else suck it up and drink a lot of water hoping it'll keep me from being too hungry. You can go a looooong time without eating before...

    Huh, maybe that toxicity's why I heard about that folk remedy about eating only pineapple for a week will make you pass any hookworms/tapeworms you have. It's damned hard to find a good pineapple. The bottom always ripens faster than the top, and I find that by the time it's ripe enough on top, the bottom has started to rot. I get around that a little...

    You can TOTALLY make gravy from scratch gluten free...well, provided you aren't a super-sensitive celiac. Roast drippings, (put hot water in the bottom of the pan and then scrap it clean to get as much flavor!) a bit of starch...corn, tapioca, or potato, water, maybe some salt, heat in on the stovetop and whisk continually until thickened. If you are having...

    I have all sorts of weird pains, most of the time nothing bad though. I did notice, however, that the worst of them, a constant pain on my left that seemed to go along my colon or possible fallopian tube, has gone away gluten free. That pain specifically would get aggravated with breathing...rather, when I breathed in the pain would go away, but come back...

    Yes, feeling like I had only eaten candy all day or bit my tongue or cheek in the middle of the night is a symptom I have. I also get gum/tooth pain, but it feels just like nerve pain I get in my hands, not like sores.
  13. cavernio
    I actually don't see a problem with that beyond other medical professionals perhaps not believing that you have a gluten problem. How you feel is a huge part of monitoring. If you feel bad, and you have celiac disease and you suspect that trace gluten is still affecting you, blood or intestinal tests could easily show up positive without changing your diet...

    If it's cc from your house or work or someplace else besides the food product itself, journals will miss it because it's intermittent and not related to the food itself, but other things like who ate right before you in the kitchen, etc.

    That bean company doesn't seem to want to call me back or answer their phone :-/

    To reiterate what psawyer said, it's possible that the protein in oats causes you problems and/or it's also very likely oats have wheat/other gluten grain cc in them.

    ARCHIVED So Fed Up

    cavernio replied to EricaM15's topic in Super Sensitive People

    OP, your mom sounds like mine. She believes me that I have an illness, but everytime I see her, she offers me something or suggests something for me to eat. She brings up items that me and her cooked ages ago and froze (gluten free peroggies) that I now don't want to touch, and she doesn't understand it. I just keep telling her no, and I know I will have...

    Ohhhhh I get it, finally! I couldn't understand why you were giving me cooking instructions for beans in the thread :-p I'm not actually worried about the gas from beans as being in response to gluten. My gluten symptoms are neurological, and I've been gluten-free for 10 months now and I still am not better, and I don't trust any glutinous food I eat to give...

    " think i best not eat anything unless my own two hands have prepared it! " Amen.

    I'm 30, taking no medications, only tried birth control for a month. I fe;t awful on them and didn't exactly relish the idea of cycling through different ones every 3 months to figure out which pill I should take, so I stopped. Since that incident I'd been bloated ever since...which I suppose I should be thankful for because without the bloat I may never...

    As an alternative, I thought I was being gluten free enough too. It seems quite obvious now that I wasn't. You may be more sensitive to traces of gluten than 20ppm. The vast majority of chocolate I've eaten I react to, and the vast majority of it won't claim any sort of gluten freeness. The peanut butter I was eating was bad, but I switched to a peanut-only...

    1. I think the only info about eating gluten free being less healthy is directed at people who are doing it because they think it is healthier. As already mentioned, wheat flour is fortified in most developed parts of the world, whereas alot of the other flours aren't. Of course a diet rich in produce and meat is going to be more nutrient packed. White flours...

    It is possible to be gluten sensitive such that should avoid all gluten anyways, but not have an endoscopy or blood test show damage. As far as it causing no damage at all, well, they're studying people who are non-celiac gluten sensitive to figure it all out. I can't imagine there's no damage if it makes you feel so crappy, maybe just not obvious villous...

    I will say that at my own wedding last december, I didn't seem to get a gluten reaction, not that I really had a good idea of what my gluten reaction was. Because I was also not feeling well in general around then anyways, but I was also eating at other people's houses (gluten free of course, specified lots of things, washed dishes beforehand, etc) and not...

    So I've been avoiding grain oils for fear of cc, and I've not been eating chips. (Actually, not doign great after eating chips is part of the reason I'm doing this.) I found chips that are cooked in avocado oil. Of course I bought them! Afterall, even if they're not labelled gluten-free, they only have salt, potatoes, and avocado, all foods I eat quite a...
