    Thank you for the advice. I will try Pamela's. I enjoyed baking before and and have been checking out gluten-free cooking books like crazy from the library. I have a banana muffin recipe my kids like and a fruit crisp. I mostly try to stay away from "gluten replacements" if the wheat version is bad, then the alternative is not that healthy either. I used...

    I have had a great experience at the In-N-Out in AZ. I order a protein style allergy burger with raw onions. They change gloves and it comes in a seperate tray from my kids food. The 1st time I ordered there the casher asked me if my protein style was for an allergy which is how I know to order it that way. One of the few places I don't get sick.

    Have you looked up "gluten withdrawal". About the same time frame you were, I was depressed, crying, totally not myself. I felt worse than when I started. It did pass. Now, when I get "glutened" my reactions are physical so I know when it happened and the emotional piece a day or two later makes sense. Be kind to yourself, this is a huge change to your lifestyle...

    I made that mistake 3 months in. I knew about soy sauce and went out for sushi. Did not have soy, but my spicy tuna and my son shared some of his roll with me that was a california roll with tuna on top. woke up the next day to a rash all over my belly. looked online and the imitation crab in the california roll is full of gluten. As far as eating out, I...

    I keep in my purse single serve packets of nuts or trail mix I get at Trader Joes and Lara Bars in case I get stuck without safe food. If I know I am going to be out for the day I will also take fruit and pop chips or other gluten free packaged snack that is a treat for me. Road trips, sunflowers seeds and single serve Justin's almond butter to but on bananas...

    Thank you for the advise. I haven't found a gluten free pancake mix my kids like yet and thought I would be okay to cook. All part of the learning curve.

    Is anyone else going through this? Since stopping gluten,now if I am exposed to it(ex.I made pancakes for my kids this morning, did not eat any) I get a weird sensation in my chin and lower jaw, watery eyes/discharge,sour throat.I have baked my whole life and never had these reactions when eating gluten. It is almost like not eating gluten has made me allergic...

    I am totally going through this. Constipation was my main complaint before going gluten free. I am still having issues with it. I work out out several days a week and eat lots of veggies, salads are my mainstay since going gluten free since I am avoiding "replacement proiducts" so it's not poor diet and lack of exercise. I am taking digestive enzymes and...

    I was diagnosed with being gluten intolerant about a month ago. I immediately stopped eating gluten and went on a strict gluten free diet. almost instantly i noticed a huge difference in the appearance of my stomach (i wasn't bloated). i don't have those constant stabbing pains i used to get, and i am no longer in a ton of pain after eating meals. however...

    I am going to look for a new dr monday to run those tests. I only see Calcium and it was 8.9, she said I wasn't anemic but I don't know which test was for iron. thank you for all the help.

    I can totally relate. I have cried all day. Last weekend I fought with my husband, I usually let things roll off my back but I was still mad days later. My kids have told me twice this week I was rude. I am having trouble sleeping, the mood swings are aweful. Glad you had a better day, hopefully this part goes by fast.

    I do have my results. TSH: 1.140

    Thank you for the tip. I have taken benedryl when I've had a reaction but not anything regularly. I will totally look into this. I am seeing a general practioner, I was just hoping the food allergy test would give me some direction in what to avoid, but I am just gonna have to listen to my body.

    My doctor appt today was frustrating. She didn't do a celiac panel, just a food allergy panel and the only thing that showed up was a pork allergy (which i don't really eat). So, she told me to just keep a food journal to track my symptoms and if I feel "less full and heavy without gluten, I should continue to avoid it". I came home and started crying. Does...

    Thank you for the tip, soy oil could be the link, will be more specific in my food diary.

    I did have a food allergy panel run and am waiting for the results. The soy oil is a good possibility since It happened with salad as well, I will check my salad dressings. I eat tons of sunflower seeds watching my kids play sports, will have to keep an eye on that as well. Thanks for the help =)

    Thank you all, I feel better just having someone understand. I have been very careful not to eat any dressing (last two times it happened after salad) but had a salad with just lemon juice and that seemed to work ok, and just eating at home til I am better at asking the right questions about what is in my food.

    A week after i stopped eating gluten, I ate sweet potato fries and my arms face and head were burning and itchy and my eyes started watering. I took benedryl and the itching stopped. I looked into DH, I do have a rash on my back but it does not have blisters so I'm not sure if it's that. I have had this reaction 2 more times (now my tongue swells too) The...

    I didn't go gluten free until she took blood for the allergy panel, since she narrowed down my symptoms to thyroid or celiac, I hope she did a celiac panel. Today was a much better day, that was good =)

    I am looking for any feedback. I have just started the process of getting tested. My doctor thought my symptoms could be a thyroid problem or celiac. My thyroid came back normal, so now we are running a blood allergy test. My symptoms are: chronic constipation, when I do go it floats,bloating, gas, fatigue, depression (which I wrote off to moving to a new...
