    All the suggestions above are awesome ideas! GFreeMO had a great idea of eating before the dinner, I second that. Then you can bring along a snack like rice crisps + hummus (if you can tolerate it), and some nuts if they are also ok with you. Anything you can fit in a little ziplock bag or small plastic container is good for stashing in your bag and nibbling...

    I try to avoid most gluten-free alternative foods because they are generally pretty gross IMHO, too expensive, and not very healthy for you. That being said I do eat a couple gluten-free alternatives if I'm craving carbs or a sweet treat. Tinkyada brown rice pasta tastes pretty darn good for being gluten free and doesn't turn into a ball of mush when you...

    If you see DL-alpha tocopherol or DL-tocopherol this is synthetic vitamin E, derived from petrochemicals, and will not cause any gluten reactions as a result. D-tocopherol/D-tocopherol acetate are natural forms of vitamin E. Even though the concentration of vitamin E in wheat germ is higher, I believe most vitamin E is soy derived as it is much cheaper...

    Cover Girl Clean Makeup for Sensitive Skin is an awesome oil free foundation that beats many expensive foundations. I believe it is gluten free, someone checked on the forums checked up on this about a year ago and verified it was (and the ingredients list looks clean). I've never had a breakout with it, and I have pretty oily/acne prone skin if I'm not...

    Ah Bob's Red Mill...they love to put bean flour in everything. I used their Chocolate Cake Mix to make a treat to share with my boyfriend for a special occasion, and I was so happy with how it turned out before I tasted it. It looked amazing, rose perfectly, looked really really chocolate-y. I took one bite and immediately spat it out. Guess I have...

    First thing, it's not in your head. While I understand that stress (which you must be feeling) and anxiety can make symptoms worse they are usually not the cause. I've found that doctors like to say 'it's all in your head' when they have done every test THEY feel is reasonable and can't find anything wrong with you, even though you are dealing with serious...

    I felt amazing until I got a viral infection (my best guess given the symptoms) at the end of my third year of university. After I failed to recover, and after what felt like a million doctors/tests, I was labeled with chronic fatigue syndrome and told to cope somehow. Noticed problems with wheat, dairy back then and cut them both out (for the most part)...

    I agree with bartfull, if you stay away from the gluten free replacement foods you probably won't be gaining a ton of weight. They are typically full of simple carbohydrates which will not make you feel full, so you'll be eating more than you would otherwise. Eating protein and good fats (ex. avocado, olive oil, nuts) with each meal or snack will help stabilize...

    Have you had your vitamin levels checked recently? I know that deficiencies in vitamin d or iron can cause sleep disorders/disturbances. Vitamin D is involved in the secretion of melatonin, so if you are deficient, your sleep can definitely be impacted. Low iron can also cause restless legs/periodic limb movements so this can also make you have not so restful...

    Perhaps other food intolerances are making themselves known? Once you take out the primary offender (gluten) sometimes secondary intolerances are more noticeable, at least that is what happened to me. Keeping a food journal (if you are not doing so already) would be helpful in connecting those feelings of nausea with what you are eating. The lethargy/tiredness...

    I'm going through much of this myself right now, you pretty much have covered my life as I know it in this post. After a few months being gluten, dairy, soy free I'm suddenly being hit with new intolerances (ex. potatoes, corn to some extent). I'm sure you are already doing this, but if you are not, keeping a food diary has helped me immensely. It's so hard...
