    the back of my neck itches like crazy, I asked my husband to check for a rash and he said it's red with small red spots. I have a rash on my stomach that looks like red little pin pricks all over it, it itches like crazy too. I looked up DH pictures and it looks nothing like it, no blisters. But I've read that dh comes in different forms is this true...

    Oh good to know. I was having some issues the other day. I ate a gluten-free cereal bar, 2 gluten-free cookies with my tea, and a gluten-free bun with my bratwurst for dinner lol. No wonder

    I cannot eat processed gluten free products either. For some reason Glutino is the worst for me even though they are safe. Must be something in it. Anyway I can tolerate Pamela's mixes and Enjoy Life cookies. Once in a while I make a pizza with Pamela's and don't have any problems with it. It is listed as less than 5ppm so it is on the lower side. I think...

    yes I really feel for the people that have to work. I couldn't even imagine trying to hold down a job feeling the way I have. I do homeschool and last year was bad. I barely made it through the day.

    It's only been a little over 2 months for me as well. I'm still underweight and I drink Ensure Plus to try to get some weight back on. Sorry to hear about your work, I'm blessed to be able to stay home and homeschool my children but I do run my own handcrafted jewelry business and sometimes it's hard to get the energy up to work on orders. It takes...

    The symptoms showed up the next morning after I ate the potatoes for dinner, although I felt suddenly very tired an hour or so after but the cramps and d came the next day I ate the chicken the day before just like this time, except the day before I had asparagus with it so only the potatoes were a new addition. I always eat asparagus as its my favorite...

    Yep I thought perhaps the milk. I know I have some lactose intolerance as I've switched to LF milk and have felt better, however it never gave me the cramping pains. Only gluten and oats have done that to me.

    But if the dr said its negative its not going to tell me anything

    I never saw the report so not sure

    He said they took biopsies and I plan on asking him next week when I see him. It seems odd that it came back so quickly.

    My cat doesn't bother me as much but my German Shepherd will give me an asthma attack each time. I feel so bad that he's outside but I'm hoping to start letting him in a little bit at a time

    Ok so 1 week prior to my blood work and 3 weeks prior to my biopsy I was on prednisone. A lot. I was hospitalized due to asthma so the prednisone was in my iv and I was on the oral pills. So my tests were negative. I now know for a fact prednisone interferes with testing because it was mentioned in the book "real life with celiac" written by 2 GI doctors...

    that would be great if my allergies subsided, I tested allergic to like 7 trees, 5 molds, a bunch of weeds and grasses my dog and cat who now are forced to live outside. feel like I should live in a bubble sometimes!

    Lol I know but I needed a quick side dish and didn't have time to make them from scratch. That makes sense though.

    Are you sticking with just whole foods? The first month my diet was very plain and I was improving, bloating was pretty much gone but then I started introducing gluten free packaged foods because I always felt so hungry plus my weight is down and the rd recommended some of these foods. Now the bloating and gas are back. Are you consuming dairy still?

    I'm coming down with a cold and the other day I got gluten symptoms from a product that was labeled "may contain wheat" now from what I understand from you guys is that doesn't mean it has gluten but could be cc'd with it. Is there some kind of connection to being more sensitive at a time when our defenses are already down? Kind of makes sense. Our bodies...
  18. answerseeker
    And I could get d and cramping just from that? Geesh this is hard!
  19. answerseeker
    It just says may contain wheat
  20. answerseeker
    It's hard to know if it had wheat but I ate chicken and those potatoes. I haven't had pain like that since going gluten free so it had to be the potatoes. For sure not the chicken They were homestyle butter flavored by Betty Crocker any idea if they contain gluten?
  21. answerseeker
    Yeah I haven't been as careful with the lactose as I should be. It's so hard to give up so much

    What does the gluten-free Mac n cheese do to you? Is it the cheese or the fact that its processed? Month 1 for me was just whole foods but then I started introducing gluten-free packaged foods and bam! Almost right back where I was except the pain. My husband noticed I am more "sluggish" after eating gluten-free foods and I get bloated too
  23. answerseeker
    For sure, I ate boxed mashed potatoes the other night and had extreme pain and d the next day, only to realize the box said may contain wheat uggh. One little scoop is all it took Still learning and still healing! Hey that's my new motto ;-)

    ^is why commenting is not going to help^ I ask a question and get 2, maybe 4 answers if I'm lucky, and this guy who is rude and doesn't want to listen to anyone and blames us for misdiagnosing him gets 6 pages. odd
  25. answerseeker
    Same here. I can't eat the gluten free commercial products. All my symptoms came back when I introduced these products to my diet. Now I'm all messed up again after doing so well for a month. Whole foods is the best option. Cooked not raw
