Oh for pete's sake... Them doing this is so stupid it makes me crazy. I mean why on earth??? Gah!!!!! Nancy

This is weird. I haven't had anything with tapioca in it for two days. Today I woke up with only about a level 3 back pain rather than the 8-9 it had gotten to. It has just been building up slowly for several months up to a level 4 or 5. Not bad, but enough to cause me some issues. But then over the last two months it has gotten so bad that I have...

Poked around on Pubmed.gov a bit. Yikes! http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.f...l=pubmed_DocSum "Recent reports suggest that the ingestion of poorly processed cassava roots is associated with the incidence of an ataxic neuropathy (konzo) in African countries. When cassava-based diets are not supplemented with good sources of protein and iodine...

I don't want to give it up either just because it's in my favorite mixes. But the stomach pains are starting to irritate the heck out of me. The products that are starting to connect together for me are Pamela's Wheat Free Bread Mix, Pamela's Pancake mix and Kinnickinnick chocolate dipped donuts. I hate naming names because they're so good, but maybe...

There are a few gluten-free products, made by gluten-free companies, that have been bothering me. I finally found the common denominator and it seems to be tapioca. My daughter is actually reacting to a couple of the products (the two she eats) with the same symptoms. Basically whatever it is makes my stomach really hurt. Anyone else? ...

Mmmm.... Nestle. Thanks for the list. Hey, don't you have some doctor's appt's this week? How are you feeling? Nancy

It's nice to know it's not just me. It seemed so odd that I wasn't sure I'd get any responses. Good to know it should be gone in a couple days. Nancy

I got glutened a few days ago by an Amy's frozen dinner. I have heard of a bunch of cross-contamination issues lately. I got D almost immediately, along with brain fog, headaches, skin issues, etc. I also had the feeling that my tongue was too big for my mouth, which was something I was getting right before I went gluten-free. That went away after half...

A-ha! I get that upper right abdominal thing sometimes. Makes sense. Nancy

I have that. The first time I noticed that there might be a link to something bigger was when I went on an anti-candida diet about five years ago, which by its nature is gluten-free. The KP went away almost completely on one arm with just a few scattered bumps, but was just as bad as ever on the other. It's stayed that way all these years too. It was...
