    Are you nightshade free? If not i would definitely eliminate that. Maybe you havent rotated enough and your body is not used to the new foods. Keep trying your best to rotate I would say. Also if you have to maybe you can get something to calm your immune system. Im about to go buy some ginger myself. In your shape I am very concerned. I think as far as...

    When I was a child I lived in Florida. We loved watermelons in the summertime! One day I decided (at about 7) that we dont get to buy it often enough so i decided to plant one of the watermelon seeds out of the last watermelon we were eating. I went out back, dug a hole and planted that little seed. Every morning i would wake up, look out that back window...

    HAHAHAHAAHA! You just determined to infiltrate that cake with mint and chocolate like seal team six lookin for Osama! Thats too funny lmao! Oh gosh...phew...anyway...why not? whatever busts your gut sounds good to me Cheesecake turned out absolutely delicous and huge! Graham cracker crust was nice and moist but held well. The crust did taste like ginger...

    Yeah i eat a bowl of soup for lunch almost everyday and some lettuce. I suppose i get more than i thought i did considering all the fresh veggies i eat. I managed to drink a liter today but thats half what im supposed to drink. I just feel like i dont have enough room in my swollen gut. It feels like it will take forever to go back go normal but it can only...

    Yeah with symptoms that bad i would eliminate all dairy. Usually we would say reintroduce lactaid milk to determine whether it is the sugar or the protein in milk but with your reaction being so negative and you being so ill i would just say go ahead and lay off dairy. So you never had your symptoms similar to glutening with cheese or dairy before? Is...

    Mmmkay. And dont say sum smart person like ur not cause ya are :-) i happen to be eating celery rigt now. It is one of my staples. Usually goes in stirfries and soup or whatever else. I had run out bougt i just bougt some more. My throat is a lot better today so i kinds doubt my glands swelled and "deflated", if i can use that term, that fast. Dont know but...

    That is a good idea. I will do that.

    OoooooooOooooh! Thank you so much that explains everything lol. Thx P. :-)
  11. Razzle Dazzle Brazell
    Yeah i guess im just wary. Thanks for that link. It is very interesting.
  12. Razzle Dazzle Brazell
    I still dont understand the risk because i know celiacs often develop sensitivities or intolerances for proteins that are not even gluten just b/c the body confuses it (own words) and reacts to it similarly. Cant we be at risk of having bad reactions because it is the same type of protein? I actually hope not because I love using corn and corn starch when...

    How on earth can any gluten be safe for us? I dont understand why corn is called gluten free even though it has gluten. I am concerned it could be damaging to my health. I know some of you have cut it out. Could you share your knowledge and experience with and without corn in your diet?
  14. Razzle Dazzle Brazell
    I see. Do you have access to graham cracker that are gluten free? I had to make my own then turn around and crush them again and mix with butter. It kinda seemed redundant though. Never baked anything from scratch before but this was delicious
  15. Razzle Dazzle Brazell
    hehe i guess not. Thx for the encouragement though. I just keep beating myself up saying why did i have to do that gluten challenge....that was so stupid! Anyway at least now i can move forward and never look back until im on my new mountain top :-) it has to be awful high if the valley was so deep and the climb is this steep.
  16. Razzle Dazzle Brazell
    Yeah im greedy when it comes to my condiments i guess because i bought my own. I think I may find it challenging to cut out all condiments. Can i make my own? Another question kinda off topic kinda not: How can I increase my water intake safely because i choke on thin liquids very badly now and i cant add metamucil to everything? I know it just sucks...

    I take B-12 sublingually every morning and some take it again early afternoon. It works best with b6 for me so i dont stay awake at night. What kind of b-12 have you been taking?
  19. Razzle Dazzle Brazell
    Mmm that sounds delish! I dont like mint except with dairy because it burns my mouth and has for years. I guess you would beat up the sour cream topping then add melted chocolate and mint chips lightly mix and spread on top then you can put whole ones on after it cools in the fridge. I think I may add caramel myself or butterscotch. This was just the indulgent...

    Oh yeah I remember reading something about that. I guess it stems from the idea that the unnaturally genetically engineered gluten of todays wheat is far from what it used to be and the apparent correlation in the increase in sensitivities. I personally wouldnt think it would fix the problem for celiacs. Once the body decides gluten is an invader and develops...

    I like it good one :-)

    Before i go on a more simple gluten-free diet I am going to indulge in one last delicacy...after all tomorrow is my birthday and since I am on a special diet no one can eat my birthday treat. HOORAY! I found a recipe and I am gonna make it tonight. I cannot wait! Open Original Shared Link I am gonna make my own breadcrumbs too. Hopefully if i take...

    I am having my own kitchen supplies myself to prevent cross contamination. Much of our pans have scratched nonstick coatings so I cant use them. I cant use the same silverware unless i wash it off because it sits in a container full of bread crumbs. Sometimesi wonder whether it could be getting in the air, being inhaled and then swallowed. Evidently there...

    Wow! Thanks for sharing your story. That is very encouraging. I do the same thing you do by cooking in bulk and carrying lunches with me when I go to work. I think I will trying eating dried fruits and nuts when I'm starving from gluten withdrawals and bad nutrition. I once weighed 243 lbs. I was starving all the time even when I was full. When I went low...

    To be honest Xanax is a pill that kind of concerns me to take too often. I don't want to develop a dependency. This hydroxyzine helps a lot but I have found myself taking it more and more and I don't want to get addicted. Sometimes it makes me a little slepy and sometimes it wakes me up and that is really annoying; like you I try to take it only to avoid...
