    Donna, Wow, guess you were right about the chicken! Thats so weird that it makes your heel itch of all things. I bet Jersey is right and you'll notice other things improve too. Hopefully you'll get extra bonuses from not eating the chicken. I think I'm the same as you in that I can eat some processed stuff now and then (when I'm feeling really good)...

    Manja, Welcome I believe if you are corn intolerant and reacting to iodized salt then anything with "salt" listed as an ingredient is out. As far as I know sea salt is what they recommend....I'm not sure about the kosher salt. I cant eat any of the foods you listed (canned tuna, shrimp, saurkraut, pickles, etc.) I react to all those things...

    Judy, I'm so glad you're feeling better. I'm praying the antibiotics are gonna take care of it this time. Remember....100% compliance....you can beat this! Thats too bad about your chiro's son....its so sad when these things happen to kids. Dont worry about getting lost in the thread...I'd be lost too if I hadnt been posting on it everyday...

    I'm going to say the same thing others have already said about the grapes and sulfites. Do you normally eat grapes w/ no problems? I react to sulfites and cant handle any grapes. All grapes are loaded with sufites...as someone already mentioned.
  5. Rachel--24
    Yup..thats pretty much the gist of it. TCA, I really cant say *exactly* what the culprits are but everything corn related equals either sulfites or MSG so I pretty much have to avoid corn but not sure if its the additives or the corn or both. Pretty much all processed food seems to have something from corn in it so I just cant win unless I stay on an unprocessed...

    Dont you have to pay bank charges everytime you use the card? If I write a check for cash at my work....I get the cash and no extra charges. I have free checking. I dont ever have cash cuz I either write a check for stuff or use a credit card. If I'm going out where I need cash I get it from my work (or another grocery store) by writing a check. It just seems...

    Thanks Andrea, I do have a digital camera and those pictures are actually already in the right format so I just use those pics but 99% of my pics need to be scanned since I almost always use my regular camera instead of my digital one. I just like getting them developed and then picking them up all shiny and glossy. I'm a scrapbooker so I take tons of...

    I'm curious about this too. All of my photos are scanned and in my adobe photoshop. I cant upload them because they arent the right file type. I've had to rescan the photo and using a different software I was able to make it a jpeg file but is there an easier way w/out having to rescan the photos? I'm lazy. Andrea...what a cutie your baby is!! I...

    Hi everyone! Lots of new posts this morning. Donna, you look great. I think you posted earlier that people think you're in your 30's...well I would guess the same. Andrea, I wish I could send you some sun. It was really hot here yesterday and a beautiful night. The weather has been perfect but after I washed my car last Sunday it got cold for...

    Well I'm a little better tonight...but still not recovered from the massive amounts of dried fruit I consumed. Oh...I do remember that while I was on the candida diet and doing all that research it was always stressed that dried fruit should always be avoided with a leaky gut and/or candida. I'm not sure whats so bad about it but my body is definately telling...
  11. Rachel--24
    Floridian...thats great that you figured it out!! You're becoming quite the detective aren't you. Stick with the red potatoes.
  12. Rachel--24
    Yeah...the figs I ate were just like candy. They even had what looked like sugar all over it. They are organic and unsulphered so from what I read this is what happens when fruit dries naturally. I dunno but it was goooood!

    If you dont have a Celiac gene it doesnt necessaerily mean that your body isnt reacting to gluten. It just means that you probably wont develop Celiac. There are also some people with Celiac who dont have either of the Celiac genes....so as Tiffany said they havent yet identified all of the genes involved. This is what my GI told me as well. He doesnt rule...

    Same here Jersey. The gas is better today and my bloating went down some too. I dont recall ever eating dried fruit before....except raisins. Its like everytime I find something I really like....I cant have it....which is where alot of my frusteration came from yesterday. The dried fruit was soooo good. I would buy it even if I could eat whatever I wanted...
  15. Rachel--24
    Yep...that I am. I actually thought it was a TV show but was wondering why I'd never haerd of it. I went to catholic schools...maybe thats why we didnt have to read it...or maybe its a CA thing like you said. Sounds like the Cruible woulda been kind of interesting though.
  16. Rachel--24
    Tonight I was crying because I got frusterated with my symptoms after eating all the dried fruit. Same thing happened last night but I didnt cry over it. I was just feeling really frusterated not knowing why this stuff was bothering me when I'd been eating the dates just fine. My friend called while I was crying and listened to me vent my frusterations...
  17. Rachel--24
    Ooooh...I'm answering my own question. I found this: Those just happen to be the ones I was eating and am ok with. I guess I cant do dried fruit cuz none of the other dates I've tried or the other dried fruits have agreed with me. No wonder...I found it strange that I could eat those Barhi ones and not the other dates that are from the...
  18. Rachel--24
    Ok...I have a question. Hopefully someone knows this. Are all dates dried? What are dates exactly? You know like raisins are dried grapes....are dates just a dried version of something else? The reson I'm asking is because I was eating dates. They seem fresh and have pits....I never really knew if they were fresh or dried. I had no problems with them...

    I'm still stuck on the "wheat occurring naturally in soy" statement. I'm really lost on that. This is the second time today something has totally baffled me.
  20. Rachel--24
    The Perky O's are made on the same lines with barley, soy and corn. I dont know how well they clean the machinery. It seems like they've just started testing for gluten. Suppossedly they test under 50 ppm's. This must be new because a couple months ago I reacted to them and at that time they still had wheat on the same line and were not testing for gluten...
  21. Rachel--24
    Ok...now I wanna know what this is all about. Maybe someone who knows will come along and enlighten us cuz I still dont see how it makes sense...but thats just me....always looking for a logical explanation. Maybe there just isnt one. But gluten free diets are largely based on potato products and I've never heard of anyone having damage from potatoes...
  22. Rachel--24
    Ummm...yeah I guess those would be called nightshades too. I found this thread on nightshades for you Open Original Shared Link I know Lisa Baker just recently posted a thread asking what nightshades were. I was trying to find it but couldnt right now. I'll check again later.
  23. Rachel--24
    LOL! Yesterday I happened to be looking in the cabinets...I have no idea why since I cant have anything in there! I always do this though....as if I was a normal person just casually looking for something to eat....YEAH RIGHT. Well....I found 2 ziplock baggies of those crackers I was eating! I forgot I had put some in baggies and now that I know they...
  24. Rachel--24
    Thats funny. I think I flunked chemistry. What symptoms are you getting from the potatoes? I used to peel them cuz I think the skins bothered me...right now I'm avoiding them altogether because the MSG diet says to avoid potatoes due to most of them being sprayed with the Auxigro. I've tried them more than once though...all different kinds and I still...
  25. Rachel--24
    Ahhh..I know who she is. Well, I dont wanna come right out and say that shes wrong....but....yeah I think she's wrong on that one. I say that with confidence too. I've done alot of research too and I've never read anything like that. It doesnt even make sense. Gluten is the protein found in wheat, barley and rye. Potatoes dont have that protein...
