    I opened the fresh package, and it was precut. Also, I'm not EXTREMELY sensitive to gluten, as far as I can tell. I think I am potentially sensitive to other stuff though, I have just never been able to figure out what, exactly.
  2. desperateforhealth
    Well, I was super careful. I ate it straight out of the package...

    I went gluten-free back in January. I also quit dairy at the time, but starting about a month ago, I started eating cheese again because it seems like it's not been affecting me in a noticeable way. However, I have been having a lot more stomach problems since coming to college regardless of my strictly gluten-free lifestyle (I live in an apartment and prepare...

    Thanks, guys! I was worried it could be the burger. And yes, I was thinking the same on the soy sauce; since it's not from the US they don't have to follow the same rules.

    Well, I checked the breakfast sausage and it didn't list any ingredients with gluten in them. Plus, that wouldn't explain my symptoms last week, since I ate that for the first time yesterday. It's just really weird because I was being very careful. I ate a gluten free burger at Red Robin on Tuesday but my stomach continued to be great until Thursday, so...

    Everything with my stomach was going so well. Hadn't had a problem in several weeks and I felt great. Then, last Thursday, a week ago now, my mom used to soy sauce that didn't LIST wheat as an ingredient, but it also didn't say it was gluten-free or have any information on the internet. But I got reckless and ate it anyway, and then a few hours later I was...

    Guys... when I first went gluten- and dairy-free, I went without chocolate for three months, not realizing that there are plenty of chocolates out there that don't have milk fat/other milk ingredients. Miraculously my mom had some Ghirardelli chocolate chips that she had bought on sale, so I euphorically started eating chocolate again Weeeeell, I have...

    Wow, actually that is EXTREMELY helpful. I will check out the article. THANK YOU!

    What does "milk fat" indicate, exactly? Does it always contain casein/whey? Sorry if this is a stupid question, I'm just hopeful that there is some chance milk fat does not contain casein and whey.

    University of Florida has a gluten-free counter. That's where I am going next year, although I'll be in an apartment preparing my own food. I know that Mississippi State does as well.

    YESS! I miss dairy so much. But I quit it for good when I quit gluten almost three months ago. Today was the first time I have had chocolate in almost THREE MONTHS just because I never wanted to buy any that was dairy free, and then finally today I found some that my parents bought. It was beautifully delicious, I am still high from the endorphin. I...

    Ugghhhh I have been craving mac and cheese so much lately... but I can't have dairy. Looks like you got some great suggestions though!
  13. desperateforhealth
    I love these! Totally makes me feel better. I'd eat those ugly goodies anyway.
  14. desperateforhealth
    Thank you! I was just there today, I wish I would have seen this earlier. Appreciate the tip. I am quite impressed they actually had a gluten-free product promotion.

    I use a product on my face that has Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Extract in it as well. My only gluten symptoms are stomach problems, so I am hoping that whatever I put on my face doesn't affect that, but I am still looking for answers. Since I use it every night I haven't found out if I feel better when I am not using it. Since going gluten free almost three...

    Thank you, IrishHeart! My stomach is feeling so much better today, even if my head cold is not. I had some delicious stir fry for dinner and all seems to be well. I think moderating my eating is key, and that's something I should have realized a looong time ago. Good luck with your own wellbeing! Buttercream frosting sounds like it was worth it though. ...

    Lori2- That's an interesting possibility. I eat dates and raisins daily though. JustNana- Glad you are feeling some relief! And thank you for the empathy, keep you posted I will.

    I am an adolescent, so I still have the normal troubles with mild acne. I've been using the same AcneFree Sensitive Skin regimen for many years (company claims it's gluten-free), and the face wash contains Oat Kernel Extract, which is listed as a product to avoid if you are avoiding gluten, but does it really contain any gluten? My blood test for celiac came...

    Thank you, pricklypear, and you are quite right!
  20. desperateforhealth
    IrishHeart- Thank you. I ate a few gluten-free pancakes, we will see how this goes. Marilyn R- Perhaps I should try that again. I have experimented with staying away from nightshades and corn but have never come to conclusive results, except that it seems like they don't bother me. I would really miss corn though. I get sick once or twice a year...

    Oh, I definitely didn't mean to make it seem like I was accusing them, and I certainly would never hold it against them if I was glutened. I am blown away by their generosity and accommodating, kind nature. I love those folks and nothing will change that. I'm just trying to figure it out so that I can know whether I should eat or whether I shouldn't...
  22. desperateforhealth
    I don't THINK it was corn... I eat corn like, daily. Including yesterday. You could be right though... They haven't, but my best friend called just to chat. I think they were quite sure that they avoided all gluten.
  23. desperateforhealth
    Almost three months gluten-free and DF and I've never had a KNOWN glutening, but I have had reactions to other things, like soda and probiotics. Identifying glutenings is what I hate the most. So on Friday I made a huge mistake. I went over to my best friend's house and her parents cooked me a supposedly gluten-free, diary-free meal. I tried really hard...
  24. desperateforhealth
    Lori2, I have never actually found out... since going gluten-free two months ago I have avoided gluten completely. pricklypear1971 - Not to my knowledge. I drink orange juice every day and no problems.
  25. desperateforhealth
    dilettantesteph - No, I never eat or drink after people. I should have clarified that, sorry. Juliebove - Definitely not sugar, and I don't think I have a problem with high fructose corn syrup. The only thing that it seems like it could be is carbonation.
