  1. Yes, funny you should mention it today. My tongue too feels numb.
  2. I am enjoying mango salsa. I just put mango in the blender and wo-laa. Once I put in Cilantro and it tasted more like salsa. NOTE: From painful experience remove all of the peel off the mango before blending.
  3. I noticed upon awaking today that my tongue, abdomen and thighs were swollen. My tongue was also dry. I dunned my gloves and mask and rewashed the dishes from last night. I just didn't feel secure that there wasn't still gluten clinging to them. I am glad that inspite of the swelled up feeling my mind seems clear still today. The family got out...
  4. I just posted about abdomen bloating. I am not sure where lymph nodes are down there. I hope someone can tell us something about it. My tum can bloat quickly; that I know. Sometimes when I smell mini-donuts frying.
  5. I ran quickly away. I feel the glands in my neck swell. For me I think it is probably the vinegar. My body hates fermentation. The dog no doubt had a bun too, but it was the mustard that I smelled. One other reaction to a whiff of vinegar that I had: nausea weakness swelling fatigue If you are coming to my house for dinner please...
  6. I don't go near their feed. Last time my husband helped in its grinding I reacted to being near him. I always use a new stick of butter. But there are other cooks in the family. I will watch that.
  7. If it were me (very sensitive) I would think that it was cross contamination for sure. It would be too difficult in a floury bakery to keep the cake seperate enough for me. I hope he isn't that sensitive, but if he is you need to bake your own or find a bakery without gluten flour at all. If it is a virus/sickness either someone else has had it or will...
  8. What causes bloating? Is it gas? Is it intestinal? Is there anyway to speed healing? I do think I need to get a grip on my allergies? Reacting even a little to walking by a hotdog stand seems too much.
  9. No, they were natural hotdogs without preservative.
  10. My first blog never quite got in before it was gone. I worked so long and hard at it that I couldn't start over. Someday, I would like to put it in. But for now, I am jumping in here. Four months gluten free: Things are going a bit better with the family. They are cooking foods which I can't eat/smell outside. My husband is starting to notice...
  11. It looks like I have been glutened. I reacted at the store to smelling mustard on a hotdog. I have a problem with vinegar which I suspect caused that. Next I brought home some gluten free hotdogs and grilled them. About 4 hours later I noticed the bloat. That was also when my family was wrapping eggrolls in the kitchen, so I am only guessing what did...
  12. I was having some extreme heavy flows before gluten and grain free. Five years back it was almost every month, but with supplements it was occassional. Now, I have not had a heavy one for 6 months since going gluten free. I was thinking there is a connection.
  13. I don't know, but can you grow some for next year? I grew a kind without hulls. They are Syrian Hulles. They grow well. The plants take alot of room. But without hulls they were easy to process. I feel sure the stores must have this variety or another like it. Hopefully. You will find some for this year. Diana
  14. I am trying rinsing the birds better before cooking. Other than that hopefully it was my butter and not the chickens. We don't butcher; we have too much city left in us for that. Diana
  15. I hope the doc can figure it out too. But mostly that what needs to be done, Will be. Diana
  16. A friend raises quale for eggs. She said that their eggs have a different protein and some people can tolerate them instead of chicken eggs. I hope you or others can try this out. I hope you have some good indicators if it is a problem. I used Spelt and Kamut for years instead of wheat thinking I was okay, but I wasn't.
  17. I think it can be absorbed through the skin. It also is possibly breathed in. I hope the reaction will be short.
  18. There is nothing like desperation to help keep one in line. Sorry about the pressure that was on you. I am experiecing some of that, but it is starting to change. I feel better enough for others to notice since I have been gluten free 6 months and grain free 4. You have some rather observeable problems. I can't wait to hear about them resolving....
  19. I am thinking that your body is developing new intolerances perhaps, but now it can tell you what is bothering it. There are many foods to try. I think I get a more varied diet with each thing I rule out. Your body may still be in transition. I know I can't tell withdrawl symptoms, from reactions, from ? I am thinking with time you will be able to...
  20. I am sorry that you have suffered with this. I am happy that you found out, because now you can do something about it. I remember when I was giving a spelling test and would fall asleep between words. I expect you have some memories like that. I made it past 40 before I found out. I have been about 4 months grain free and classic gluten free 6 months...
  21. I react to almost every bar of soap that I buy at the store. I mean even at the natural food coop. I used to use Dove soap, but I had eczema at the time. Also, I don't think it cleaned me well. I make my own soap. My eczema went away about the same time I started making soap. I can't guarantee that the soap caused it because I also had started a supplement...
  22. We have been raising chickens for several years. Recently we have been feeding them wheat and soy. It was high in protein and relatively cheap. But I have been noticing my rash appearing after chicken dinners. Does any know what we should feed them? I will say that we let them graze, but they need more than they can get out there on their own. Any...
  23. Making soap. 3 lbs distilled water (at room temp or cooler) 469 7/10 grams sodium hydroxide (Lye) It must be pure. Red Devil brand I have used 3 lbs 8 oz olive oil 2 lbs 8 oz coconut oil 2 pounds vegetable shortening 40-50 grams pure essential oil for scent and/or healing benefits. I line a box with an unscented white garbage bag....
  24. I have experienced some or all of the following: fatigue dizziness foggy mind temperary rash swelling bloating extreme hunger lack of appetite nausea weakness anxiety depression diarrhea I am not sure these all stem from celiac, because I think I actually might have allergies.
  25. I have noticed that I judge my family (as negative) when they express the same ideas as I am feeling. We just want to be free to eat what we want. We don't want to have to consider our food so carefully when we leave the house. We want it to be how it used to be. For me it is easy to see that eating gluten is not worth it, but for them they don't...
