ARCHIVED Oh My Gosh... Beano Too?
desperateforhealth posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Imagine my dismay when I read that Beano apparently contains wheat. This is just great. Beano was going to be my saving grace, because I have gas after every meal and it would have been really handy to use when I am going to be around people who I DON'T want to have gas around. Have any of you ever reacted to Beano? Can you suggest a better enzyme to take... -
ARCHIVED What Am I Reacting To?!
desperateforhealth replied to desperateforhealth's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Thank you, mushroom! I haven't noticed any effects from potatoes but I will keep my eye out. ciamarie-Thanks very much, that is good advice. My probiotic is indeed gluten and dairy-free, fortunately. I will stay away from tomatoes for a while and see how things work out. -
I'm sorry for all my questions. I am just so tired of not knowing what I need to do to heal. Feel free to skip the next two paragraphs of detailed explanation because my questions don't really need the background, I just wanted to provide it if it's helpful at all. I started my gluten-free diet three weeks ago and at first things were going okay, but...

ARCHIVED First Time Being Glutened?
desperateforhealth replied to desperateforhealth's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Thanks, guys! It occurred to me that it could have been a totally normal reaction to the tomato half that I cut up over a year ago and had stored in the fridge.. it is possible bacteria was being harbored in that? Incidentally I have been eating Smithfield ham every day... are they are really cured in casein? I'm definitely not allergic to xantham gum... -
I am almost three weeks into my gluten-free (and casein-free) diet (in an effort to self-diagnose) and things have been going a little better, but then today I had a salad doused in Kraft Tuscan House Italian dressing, and 30 minutes later I had diarrhea. Now, I read that Kraft always explcitly states their gluten-containing ingredients on the package so...

Thank you guys very much! The nuts that I eat regularly are simple, raw almonds. Now I know I should go ahead and contain using them as a snack. And thank you for the soaking instructions!
-
Thank you, mushroom! domesticactivist- Interesting idea. Soak them in what, exactly? Just water?

ARCHIVED Misery Loves Company
desperateforhealth replied to Avalon451's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Hahaha... I have been doing this as well... not out loud, just inside my head. -
I went gluten-free (self-testing to see if it solves my chronic, unexplained stomach problems) only about a week ago and I am surviving just fine with the wonderful help of... nuts. If I need a snack, that's what I go for now. But I've seen a few people suggest that eating nuts might not be the smartest move right after going gluten-free... is that true?...

mushroom - Thank you, I will take a look at that! Metoo - Thanks very much I was thinking about trying oats but I will avoid them at least until I can figure out what I am or am not sensititve. Mom-of-two -That's extremely helpful as well, thank you! I will definitely be looking into taking probiotics reguarly now.
-
maximoo- My discomfort definitely has something to do with the antibiotics, I think, but I've consulted a nurse (the parent of a friend) who says that six months should have been long enough for my gut to recover from a loss of bacteria, so now I am seeking a different source. mushroom- Thank you so much for your extensive response. I will indeed stick...

Thank you both very much! That is quite helpful and somewhat reassuring.

I am a young adult who's been struggling with substantial gas/discomfort after every meal and somewhat frequent stomach upsets for about a year and a half now (I was taking the antibiotic doxycycline for the first year, and I thought my stomach problems would go away after I quit it, but it's been six months since I quit and they haven't gotten any better...
