    Just as an aside about this whole using wheat flour to put on manufacturing lines.... Have you ever made bread? More importantly, have you ever worked with wheat gluten? It is the stickiest, hardest stuff to clean you can imagine when it gets wet. It really is glue-like. I can't imagine anyone would risk gumming up their machines with it if it some how...

    I'm sure her heart was in the right place but she seemed unable to handle any skepticism or anyone posting any doubt of what she so vehemently states as true. I think that's simply due to lack of experience. But when you state things that so plainly go against other people's personal experience, or what most people believe, you've got to be prepared to...

    Glutamine should not contain any gluten, just a coincidence about the name. And it sure seemed to help my gut. I was taking 4 grams a day. I only take it when I'm poopy.

    You might want to get those itchy blisters biopsied, or rather the skin near them. Sometimes celiacs have villious flattening (endoscopy with biopsies) without having positive blood work. And more often, many of us with IBS find it magically goes away when we avoid the magic foods that make us sick. I assume you're thinking of Enterolab when you talk...

    I don't think you're going to get that info unless you actually go to the farm. There's no research that I've heard of that says what your dinner's dinner would have any bearing on your own allergies, unless you eat their undigested stomach contents.

    If they're using wheat on peanuts it should be listed in the ingredients, according to the FDA.

    Natural flavors can only be certain things... let me dig it out: Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link If wheat were in there it would have to be listed.

    Those numbers sounds weird... I know that gluten flour is 40-80% gluten. Most flours are around 15% gluten. I know sometimes they add extra gluten to bread to make the dough stiffer. So what does a slice of bread weigh? Lets say 56 grams, about 2 ounces. So 15% of 56 is 8.4 grams, unless I'm messing up somehow. Open Original Shared Link Oh wait...

    I get a lot of bloat, so does my Mom. Dairy does it to me as badly as gluten though. I'm really impressed how flat my stomach has gotten since I've really gotten good with my diet. Stop cheating though or you'll never figure out if it is bloat or fat! There are some gluten-free pastas out there, but I avoid all grains so I'm not an expert.

    Have you thought of using ear plugs and/or a white noise machine? Works pretty well.

    Oops, just saw a recipe for ponzu sauce and it has soy sauce. So I could make it with gluten-free Tamari probably.
  12. Nancym
    Usually the labels are in chinese so I can't tell. Hopefully someone knows: Black Vinegar Ponzu sauce Those are the main ones for now. I'm addicted to the cooking show "Simply Ming" on PBS and he uses a lot of chinese ingredients.

    The thing is, you do have the antibodies to gliadin in your intestines for a long, long time after ingesting gluten. Like 2 years or more. Dr. Fine from Enterolabs is doing a lot of data collection on this and presented it in his lecture. It does drop off if you're gluten free, but eating more obviously increases it. So while you may not have overt illness...

    Rachel, can you post a link for the study? Thanks.

    My Mom is in a pretty nice nursing home, very family like, lovely place. Anyway, even so it seems like the kitchen is extremely disorganized. Yeah, I would imagine getting a proper diet from a nursing home would be like getting the same from a hospital, really difficult. Still, they're supposed to be able to handle that.

    Here's what I would do, I'd go to google and put in the name of the thing you're interested in and "reviews". There are a lot of sites that review products now! Its helped save me from buying some stinkers.

    I've had probiotics and supplements give me problems in the poop area. I suspect you are eating something that is causing your issue. You need to narrow down to find it.

    ARCHIVED Low Blood Pressure

    Nancym replied to a topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    Well, I've been aflicted with autoimmune problems for quite awhile, first thyroid now akylosing spondylitis. And behind it all, a raging IBS which magically went away when I got rid of gluten/dairy. It is definitely connected and I think leaky gut is the connector!

    Unfortunately food intolerances seem to come in multiples a lot of times. You might also be having problems with dairy, soy, nuts, eggs... long list of things. Best thing to do is try an elimination diet and keep a log of how you feel. Diary and gluten seem to be my issues, with soy kind of trailing along. Also, I have to really be careful how many seeds...

    Well, this will be weird sounding advice but... chewing gum. I just read that they're giving people who have IBD chewing gum because they found there's a growth factor in saliva that heals the intestines. So a great way to increase saliva is to chew gum!

    They don't eat as much soy as we do! They eat small amounts of tofu but most of their soy they eat is fermented, and it sure isn't in everything like it is here: lecthicin, oil, soy protein, soy flour, and on and on. We even feed our meat animals lots of soy!

    There's a cardiologist, whose blog I read, who recommends wheat free for everyone because he thinks eating wheat encourages a poor lipid profile. But anyway, I'm happy about the trend. The more people who insist on being able to eat gluten-free the easier I think it'll be for us. Especially with the social stigma of having a "different" diet. Open...

    That's not long enough for a good test. Celiac drs. advice about 3 months and the equivalent of about 4 slices a bread a day. Grats on getting a doctor to take in your information and act on it.

    Just wanted to commiserate with you on the frustration of getting a diagnosis. And I wanted to suggest two things: First is, keep pushing to get a proper diagnosis. I've seen so many episodes of this health program on TV (Mystery Diagnosis) where parents keep getting terrible answers back from doctors and nearly lose their children to some awful disease...

    By my reckoning there's still plenty of casein in butter. If you make ghee from it it removes a lot of the casein. Butter is only something like 85% fat, so there's 15% of other stuff in there, including casein. Fat in milk only accounts for a small percentage of the total volume, so removing the fat only slightly increases the the casein. Case in point...
