    Just an FYI everyone. I got a notice today from FARE - Food Allergy Research & Education that says the following: Ingredient Notice: Burger King Changes Cooking Procedure for French Fries These notices are distributed when food manufacturers provide information to FARE about upcoming...

    Many thanks to all of the replies on this. Almost three years later now and I did continue to suffer severe depression and am now on medication and seeing a psychiatrist for medication management and a psychologist for mental health.

    Thanks so much for the replies, everyone! I find my palate is quite attune to the taste of almond and soy milks now and seriously doubt I'll ever go back to cow milk. But I find I've really missed my swiss, brie, extra sharp white cheddar, parmesean, mozzerella and havarti cheeses. Some of those are soft cheeses and I know I may react, so going slowly...

    From what I understand, medical professionals many times do not truly understand Celiac or gluten intolerance and "intolerance" can certainly be an allergy. I'm sorry to hear that your doctor recommended you intentionally gluten yourself. I hope your symptoms subside quickly.

    So I went off cheese for 3 months to let my intestine heal. I tried a little bit of Swiss cheese yesterday for the first time and had no symptoms. So I tried a little cheddar on a taco and I had a bit of tummy rumbles a few hours later but that was it. I hope this means I can have a little bit of dairy now and then again. I could easily have gone without...

    I was actually glutened just by having a burger at a friends house where she heated buns on the grill while cooking burgers. They didn't touch each other, but she had used that grill to heat buns in the past and that tiny amount made me ill for 3 days.

    Hooray, hooray! I'm craving a fluffer nutter (peanut butter and marshmallow cream sandwich) on gluten-free bread, of course!

    Thank you so much for this information! I wondered why some foods listed as 'certified gluten-free' were still making me feel sick. Now I know. I've been more cautious about my diet since discovering this - but I feel a little less crazy knowing I'm not alone.

    I'm headed to my doctor the day after tomorrow. I have a few things to talk to him about but one is that I think I need to start taking a depression medication now. Can anyone let me know which ones are gluten free and if any of them I need to stay away from? Also I can't take time-release meds since I don't absorb enough. Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for your reply GFinDC. I've chosen to not get the testing and just go by the fact that the symptoms match and they have been getting better since I stopped eating gluten. I don't want to risk making myself even more sick that before by purposefully eating gluten.

    You have all been amazing, thank you so much! I haven't been glutened since I wrote that post. I actually discovered that apples and grapes were both making me feel bad too, so I'm slowly removing things from my diet that are giving me symptoms and I'm starting to feel better. The roller coaster seems to be leveling out a little bit. I'm still having...

    I wish I had an answer for you. All I can give you right now is the comfort that you are not alone. People are not understanding of why I'm doing this either. They keep asking "isn't gluten free that new fad diet?" And I got into an argument about grocery shopping last night. I don't know about separate utensils and dishes as I'm just learning all...

    I thought I started feeling better about a week after going gluten-free then I went to a BBQ. I'm totally new to all this and didn't even think that by eating a burger with no bun would be an issue - but now I know that a BBQ grill can be contaminated. I had a horrible night. A few days went by and I felt a bit better again until I went to lunch with some...

    mommyof4, I've only been gluten-free for a couple weeks, but got glutened twice already (big learning curve here). My symptoms were definitely worse than when I was eating it on a regular basis.

    I'm go glad I found this thread. I just joined this forum and yesterday posted about how I get irritable beyond description (like PMS on steroids) after eating gluten. I feel like I have just been validated. I was glutened over the weekend and have been fighting with my partner now for the past three days (not normal for us). It was like we were...

    I am very new to all of this, and have devoured massive amounts of information in the past two weeks. I think my head just might explode from over information before my stomach does from bloating. I really need to start keeping a journal of my diet and symptoms. I have my normal annual doctor appointment coming up next week but I've been dairy and gluten...

    Good to know Karen, thanks!

    The idea of cutting out more of my intestine (I'm already missing 2/3) is exactly why I will not be getting that particular test. I've just self-diagnosed at this point and I've only been gluten-free for 2 weeks, but the last two weekends, I've been accidentally exposed and felt not only a return of my GI symptoms but they were even worse than before I went...
