    Have you had your thyroid checked? That can slow things down big time. If that's not an issue and you just need to find a way to cut calories, I'd suggest more veggies -- especially leafy greens. You get a whole lot for very few calories and they're good for you too

    I think corn allergy/intolerance is pretty common...enough so that a doctor shouldn't be surprised by it! If you've been gluten free for a year your blood test will be negative. Hope you feel better soon!

    I personally feel that stress can exacerbate an existing stomach issue, but it won't outright cause one all by itself. Just my opinion though! I wonder -- has your diet changed at all? Or other habits? For example, when I'm busier/stressed I tend to eat larger meals a couple times a day which tends to get to me if its days on end. Same with too many starchy...

    I've never tried the muffins, but I do find I can really only handle things like that in small doses. I'll tolerate one serving and be just fine.

I haven't quite figured...

Also used to have the exact same dream but about cigarettes when I quit smoking. Stopped for me after 6 months or so.

    @ForestAndTrees: I totally identify with losing access to part of your brain feeling. I was feeling like that all the time before I figured out this whole thing. Also, folate! I will have to look into possible deficiency issues a bit more because at times I feel my fogginess / mental issues are worse and I know I haven't had any gluten...

    History of depression and ED. Still have wicked ADD -- I'm in the early stages of healing so I'm really hoping it will improve though. Funny thing is, the only doctor who suggested celiac to me was a psychiatrist -- not one of the five others I saw specifically about digestive issues. He read some study about the correlation between celiac and hashimoto...

    It is my understanding that: - water soluble fiber can interfere with nutrient absorption - insoluble fiber can bind to certain minerals which prevents them from being absorbed - the benefits of consuming fiber outweighs this for most people You could try laying off a bit and see if things firm up. Re. the potassium, I'm not sure if beans or fiber...
