Hi everyone. I've been posting a lot lately and am thankful for all your support. I would have been lost without it. My DH broke out two days ago.. I think it's because I've been eating a lot of fish and still detoxing from my previous CC. At the same time I got three blisters in my nose (at the usual place) and my nose has been terribly itchy. I don't...

ARCHIVED Frightened From Upcoming Appointment
dani nero posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I'm terrified about the coming appointment. I can't handle eating gluten again and I have a feeling that the doc will request that I eat gluten. I rushed into this diet the moment I found out it was causing the menstrual problems without knowing the consequences. I'm still detoxing from the previous accident and it's really painful. I can't go through this... -

You need another doctor. I swear these doctors need to be re-schooled -

Well done Kimbalu, and enjoy your cups :-D -
ARCHIVED Today I Will Gluten Myself On Purpose!
dani nero replied to Kimbalou's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
That is a real kick in the bum and really not fair! Regardless of the fact I would still not touch it. You shouldn't, specially since you've been gluten-free for a while, which means you're way more sensitive now and the reaction will from at you with a vengeance! It will bring you so much pain, so much itch, so much fatigue and fog. Your taste-buds can... -
ARCHIVED I Added Back My First Food That Bugged Me, And It Wasn't A Gluten Product!
dani nero replied to giggleburger's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hi Giggleburner! I just saw this post on the gluten-free page's wall on facebook, and I thought of this post immediately. I don't know how "valid" or true it is since I didn't looks it up from different sources though. "Recent news about some quinoa being dried under a covering of barley has raised concerns about gluten free for Passover products that... -
That all sounds yummy thanks! What type of soup do you put them in? My choices are very limited. I don't have a potato button but I'll figure it out :-) What spices do you add when you mash them?

ARCHIVED Santa Maria E551 Ingredient Question
dani nero replied to dani nero's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Agreed :-) Thanks for changing the title for me, I didn't find an option to do it myself. -
Thanks Gail :-) You're my absolute opposite by the way. My body loves to gain weight, which is why I watched my carb intake before starting this elimination diet. I don't think you have ill discipline.. it's called being human. If we crave something for long enough we get opposite reactions. Sorry you have to back to basics :-(

The clementines were ok :-) I had two more last night since the glutenation symptoms are subsiding, and without problems. I just hope it stays that way, I love them sooo much lol! I'm not sure about root veggies (since I reacted to carrots and beetroots) yet but I think I'll give the little sweet potatoes a go in a few days, and I'll alternate between...

ARCHIVED Santa Maria E551 Ingredient Question
dani nero replied to dani nero's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Is made from sand and not supposed to contain gluten, so I used it and I got a reaction, which is when I found the response of the manufacturing company. They clearly stated that celics are not to consume it. They didn't say why but my guess is it might be cc with traces of gluten during the manufacturing process. I don't know, but I did get a reaction from... -
I've read a little more about DH, and one website stated that people sometimes mistake cold sores (herpes) with DH because of the blisters. Since I got glutened my immunity went really low, and I usually get cold sores on my lip and inside my nose when that happens. I never thought of this before but the sore on my lips never itched, but the ones in my...

I have completely lost faith in doctors. How on earth do they get "qualified". I'm not a doctor, I've never had scabies, yet I know what it looks like. Maybe he needs glasses!

ARCHIVED Santa Maria E551 Ingredient Question
dani nero posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hi everyone! Just thought of posting a little warning about anti-caking agent E551 which can be found in some spice mixes. I checked the unsafe foods page and didn't find E551 on it so I went ahead and made a salad dressing with an Italian spice mix containing E551. Just a few hours after my rash fired up, and I had not so cooperative bowel movements... -
Thanks all of you, this was incredibly helpful :-)

I've been reading a lot that the distribution of dh is typically symmetrical. What does that mean? Like if it shows on the right index finger, it has to show up on the left index finger too? My rash shows up only on one finger, but if it gets really bad then I get another patch on the back of my other hand (this happened only once), not the finger. The...

Hahaha I was actually desperate enough that my mind started to think that sweet potatoes are "ok" carbs just like brown rice.. I was actually considering adding them :-) Learning the ropes is a kick in the butt I have to say hehe I actually saw my husband eating clementines yesterday, and I could smell their amazing scent .. I couldn't resist and had...
-
Thanks Gail, I'm starting to feel a little better and somewhat more alert. It's just hard to stay positive when a person eats the same things every day and still feels worse than everyone else haha :-) But I'm glad I have this place to turn to for good and bad things. I actually got my period today, so that's a lesson about being patient for me. I really...
-
Thanks for all the advice. I appreciate all your help guys. I put off adding anything, but I'm feeling pretty devastated and hopeless at the moment.. I didn't get my period. I got my first period last month on the 23rd, but nothing this month :-( Maybe this is all in my head and I just truly have a hormone imbalance. Feels like there's no light at the end...

Sounds like good advice, thanks :-) Luckily the clinic called yesterday and told me my appointment details are finally in the mail! I hope the appointment won't be too far from now!

Hi again everyone. It's been two weeks since I started the elimination diet! I'm sadly still recovering from the rabbit pellet glutination so I'm not free of symptoms. I think that I also had candida, since adding fruit to the diet caused an itch. I had to remove fruits again and the itch is subsiding. I have no idea how long it takes to get rid of the...

ARCHIVED Help! Is This Safe Or Not?
dani nero replied to dani nero's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Sadly the hard way is the only way to learn in these situations :-( It's not a very excellent system here. I got a reply from the responsible department about this issue and traces of gluten are sadly considered gluten free as long as it doesn't go over 20ppm.. so for a food that is guaranteed to contain as much as or less than 20ppm, the company is not... -
GAIL! I went to the pet shop today to see if they'd start distributing the zupreem pellets, and they had a different product which they just started with. They seem to not contain gluten but I emailed them to make sure. They also have chinchilla pellets Open Original Shared Link It seems to be a European brand so perhaps getting it would be easier.

ARCHIVED Problems With Gluten And Other Foods, Too
dani nero replied to grey3098's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
What do you usually eat them with? Oats are mainly fiber.. I don't think they're that high on energy, but then again I'm no expert.. and they are still considered carbs :-/ I hope you figure it out and they work for you. Sorry you're having such a tough time. -
Oh now I see them! Thanks :-)
