I live as if I have celiac's even though I don't have a formal diagnosis. I had only the one blood test which was negative and I had an endoscopy but they only took 2 samples. But all of my symptoms, including a rash which looked just like DH, cleared up when I went gluten-free and then dairy-free so I do believe it is actually celiacs. Unfortunately my...

I think it depends on the person but I know within an hour at most. My symptoms are fairly severe. Within 30-60 minutes my stomach starts rumbling, then the diarrhea and stomach pains hit, then I get a killer headache and total brain fog, feels like I've been drugged, dizzy, etc. Depending on how severe the contamination was it lasts for anywhere from...

I didn't start having solid bowel movements until 6 weeks after going gluten-free and I had digestive problems after eating for 6-8 weeks. Give it time, it will start to improve. One tip - do not eat tons of gluten-free products right at the start. Try to avoid all the gluten-free breads, muffins, etc until your digestive system has a chance to rest...

I went gluten free in November and that wasn't too bad. 5 days ago I had to go dairy-free as well as I was getting sick from it. Since then I am starving, I mean literally hungry every second to the point that my stomach hurts. I can't sleep at night due to being so hungry. I am making sure I get lots of protein and I eat very healthy. I am trying to...

I am 3.5 months gluten free and I can't have dairy I was still eating dairy until this past week but I was still sick all the time. Then I finally decided to bite the bullet and get rid of dairy and my stomach bloat, gas, and diarrhea has gone away. So I am going to do dairy free for 6 months and then try introducing small amounts again. I don't know...

I tried 3 different rice protein powders and I couldn't stand the taste of any of them. I also tried some vegan mix ones and they were also not good. The texture is bad and I put TONS of fruit and all I could taste was the powder.

What does the hemp powder taste like?

I am in Canada so I don't think we have that store. I just tried 4 different powders with lots of fruit and almond milk. All dumped down the sink after a couple sips. I think I will die of malnutrition if I go dairy-free. I barely like meat. And I HATE to cook.

Is there a dairy free protein powder that doesn't taste like garbage?? I have been using Visalus protein powder and having two smoothies a day for two of my meals. Now I am starting to get sick from the dairy. I have tried Vega One and Sunwarrior and they both taste so gross I dumped it in the sink after one sip. I don't like to eat meat or any meat substitutes...

No, I've been drinking these smoothies all along, from day 1. So it probably isn't that. I don't know why the symptoms have come back. I do notice that I react to some products that are labelled gluten free like Enjoy Life cookies or certain kinds of crackers and I can't figure out why. I am going to try eating more natural foods and less gluten free...

I just noticed that on the packaging of some Amy's products it says that it is made in a facility that also processes wheat products and other allergens. Does that mean there could be cross-contamination? I have been eating the products and I am worried that it might be part of the reason why my symptoms are coming back.

I just went and read the ingredients. The package says gluten-free but it does say it's processed on equipment that is used to process wheat products. Is that a problem? How do you avoid being CC'd? I am already doing my own toaster and things like peanut butter. We make sure counters are wiped and things are cooked separately. I'm not going to forced...

I have been gluten-free for 3 months and I started to feel better after about a month and over the last 2 weeks I've started to feel really sick again. I don't think I am getting cross-contaminated bc I am being really careful. The rest of my family (husband and 3 kids) all eat gluten but I wash my hands after handling their food. I am really, really hoping...

This is going to be a rant so sorry in advance if I offend anyone. I am tired of gluten free being talked about as if it is just a choice. So many tv shows, talk shows, books, diet plans, etc all talk about avoiding gluten as a choice for weight loss or just to treat some bazillion symptoms you may be suffering from. Yes, it has led to more products...

I don't have any issue with corn at all, thank goodness!
