floridanative

As I've said on other such post - after getting all the gluten out of my system, I now react to Cheetos. The man. told me that they are process on their wheat based lines so cc could occur. But Fritos do not cause me to react so I now am pretty sure it's the monosodiumglutamate in the Cheetos that is the culprit. As fas as I know, MSG is gluten free. Now that my system is so clean, I can't tolerate junk anymore. I even figured I must have a problem with corn but after many many times trying to get a reaction from corn, I find I don't have issues with corn. That's why I know there is something else in Cheetos that makes me bloat like a beach ball and the MSG is the most obvious issus. I now try and keep clear of MSG in addition to gluten. It is not found in the organic items I usually buy now. Even if it's really gluten on the Cheetos, MSG isn't good for anyone (from what I've read) so it won't hurt me to go without it.

The only wine I found that has gluten is some Ports so don't drink those without checking them.

i started taking q10 recently in hopes of being energized.  i have a friend who said it did wonders for him.  i think it has given me a slight boost...but still hard to tell at this point.  either way, it can't hurt   i am taking Natrol brand.

Thanks jenvan! Is this sold in drug stores, or only online or what? I've never heard of anything like it. I want to get some tomorrow or at least order it.

I know that feeling - especially the missing out on the whole day part. Several months ago I started taking CoQ10 - it's an enzyme.  For me the difference has been amazing.  I am not running any races to be sure but I am not in bed all day either. I am getting more done and not feeling the overwheilming exhaustion that I had before.  It might likewise help you.  Claire

Claire - do you mind elaborating on what CoQ10 is and where I can get it? My pcp wants to put me on folic acid rx due to family heart disease history and I'm already taking iron and B-complex. I want to ask the her if it's okay to add the enzyme too. I've got to get more energy or I don't think I'll make it through the holidays with much enthusiasm. Thanks in advance. You have been so helpful to me on many different threads.
