I've posted a couple of times before. Briefly, symptoms started in November. Went gluten-free a week later and wasn't prepared to eat gluten until I could have an endoscopy, which in Australia, in the public system, can take up to 2 years. My problems were alleviated with a gluten-free diet, but I also discovered I can't eat any dairy, not even hard cheese...

Far as I know, wheat in Australia is not yet a GMO crop, although there are now some GM wheat experimental crops here. The article that I read recently claims that Australia would be the first place to grow GM wheat in the world, if these experimental crops went to commercial production. That implies that the USA does not have commercial production of GM...

Matzoh for the Seder must be made from one of five gluten-containing grains, not necessarily only wheat. According to sources, for example from an article Open Original Shared Link: Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared LinkOpen Original Shared Link to the Orthodox Union, an Open Original Shared LinkOpen Original Shared LinkOpen Original Shared...

I initially posted here, and thanks for the help. It's now just over a week later and the random ingestion of Vegemite (that has gluten) has been replaced with a gluten-free alternative. I am happy to report, not a single symptom since... well not like it was. It seems to me that my GI system is healing and every day I'm feeling so much better. Unfortunately...

Ah, idiot me! Totally forgot that our beloved Vegemite has gluten! It might well explain those random, thus far unexplained, symptom days. Without a food diary, which I've been meaning to start, I can only guess it has been a contributor in the last two weeks, when I've been thinking I'm totally gluten-free, but having overt symptoms on random days. Duh ...

I understand what you're saying, but in the public system here, I can wait many months for an endoscopy. Plus in my normal diet, I'm not such a big grain eater anyway because of the carbs. Putting my body under stress if it is gluten, and dealing with more insulin because of the carbs, isn't something I'd want to do for any length of time. What's odd...

I was definitely tested D3 deficient about a year ago, but then I'm in my 50s and on top of Type 1 diabetes, I have lupus as well, so I don't tend to hang around in the sun much. It would be nice to have a dx, but the main thing at the moment is to get rid of these awful belly symptoms, and some nausea which is now gone. There are probably lots of symptoms...

Pretty much impossible unless I want to be doubled over with cramps. Whatever I have, is so much better since guten-free, but not entirely gone. I'll go quite a few days and be perfectly fine, then the cramps will be back for around 15-24 hours. Then fine again. I had some corn couscous (gluten-free on the packet) the other night and the next day I had...

Hello! I've just joined. I've been having belly problems for about 4 weeks. I've been gluten free for about 2 weeks now and definitely feel better, but not completely. I'm still having very random attacks of belly cramps, yet I'm eating very simply (all fresh meat and vegetables, occasional eggs, with the odd gluten-free cracker) - definitely gluten free...
