BERNESES- I am sorry that your day was as bad as mine! Hopefully tomorrow will be better. I can't have vinegar either. Even vinegars that are made from corn or rice don't agree with me because vinegar is so acidic. Thanks for all your replies, they were helpful. I don't know why I reacted to the Tylenol and/or Advil, but I don't think I want to take...

Last night I had the worst case of insomnia and night sweats ever. I've gone through other posts about this and people say that they have this when they've either been glutened or they are older women going through menopause. I can't imagine that there's any gluten left in my diet. The only remote possibility is my baby corn casserole - which is made with...

When I've been glutened, one thing that helps me a lot is a jar of baby food, usually peas or carrots. Also, a strong cup of hot peppermint tea helps with bloating, gas and constipation. Hot liquids usually make me have to visit the restroom. I put the heating pad on my stomach for cramps and it helps tremendously.

Hi Brenda, I'm not an expert, but I have a couple ideas that may help. First of all, are you eating dairy? I would recommend going off dairy until your intestines heal.

Then: Before going gluten-free, my symptoms were pretty bad. I felt like crud every minute of every day for the past 6+ years. It got progressively worse until my stomach just about shut down and wouldn't process anything. The first really bad reactions I got were in 1999 due to chocolate muffins from Costco! I'd get an almost instant reaction from those...

Thanks to everyone who replied! I feel better just knowing I'm not alone in this. I will probably check out the board at night for the most part, when I'm done with homework and need to be entertained. I hate TV, I would much rather be learning something or chatting with someone. I get bad reactions to potatoes and rice. My stomach hurts for 5 days...

Hello! I just signed up for this forum. I'm 24, and I'm from California. I've had Celiac disease I'd estimate for at least 10 years, maybe longer. I just got my correct diagnosis a few months ago and I've been sick all those years. I would like to meet other Celiac people online for support and friendship. The list of things I can't eat is pretty...
