I've had B12 deficiency/low iron for years. I just give myself B12 injections now. They work great. You may be able to find lactose free yogurts. Edit: Oops, pardon the last sentence. I didn't realize it was an allergy! My apologies.

Some tips, since everyone has covered the basics: 1. Don't apologize. You bring your own food and enjoy it, if other people are offended by your health problem it's their issue, not yours. 2. Don't be forced into eating something you aren't sure about. People generally won't do things like, "Oh but Mr. Diabetic, it's just a little sugar in this cupcake...

If anything ever happens to you again that happened with the appendicitis, and you are in serious pain (obviously, you were, I'm just saying for others who may have problems in the future) or for whatever reason you are in a hospital and they aren't treating you properly and you know something is wrong I have a very simple solution that has worked for both...

Make sure they are monitoring for psoriatic arthritis, if you have psoriasis.

Thanks for sharing! I think I might try them.

Please read all the newbie threads about cross contamination as well! It can take quite a while for things to start getting better but if you do a lot of research and make sure to avoid things like cross contamination it can make the transition phase a lot easier.

My Mom has been having a pain like what everyone describes here. In her case it was caused by a Hiatus Hernia. Just wanted to put this on here in case anyone continues having unresolved issues.

Yes, although its not my biggest complaint. I also have an issue where if I'm doing something else and someone starts talking to me and I don't really hear them, I won't hear them at all. Actually, thinking about it now I do have problems with it sounding like people are mumbling a lot! Your vision problems, I have Visual Snow. Is it anything like that...

Awesome! Happy to share it and hope people enjoy it.

The cutting boards, colanders, and anything plastic, wood or nonstick (ie. pans/baking sheets/muffin baking sheets) can NOT be shared. You need to get all new ones because gluten is a protein that can get stuck in the cracks and will not be removed by the dishwasher. I would advise against using the same towels, you need ones kept strictly separate. If you...

I love my kale chips too. Daw, I looked up the Cape Cod ones and now I'm drooling all over the computer.

Have you considered the possibility of Gluten Ataxia? See if any of the other symptoms of it sounds like you. I was gluten-free and I still developed G.A. due to trace amounts of gluten. Hope you figure it out and feel better! Edit: Just thought to mention I have swollen lymph nodes too. Edit Edit: Don't forget that Celiac disease is an auto-immune...

I'll paint a picture for you; it's 11 PM, I'm craving something salty, something crunchy and I know there are potatoes in my fridge. I needed a quick fix, and I found it. Marvel in the glory that is the microwaved potato chip (and you don't have to buy that silly contraption). Open Original Shared Link Takes a little trial and error to figure out whats...

They may be gluten free but if I remember correctly the Tostitos are made on a shared line (at least they are in Canada). The whole new law for gluten free labeling in the U.S. (I'm not sure where you are located) is not in effect until August 2nd, meaning the term gluten free on foods don't really carry much weight.

Please make sure you get diagnosed first, if possible. Anything with teflon/nonstick coating, plastic and anything that can scratch and hold gluten in it. Colanders as well because its too hard to clean all the little crevices. All metal pots are fine. Cutting boards need to go. When looking for things to get rid of ask yourself, "if gluten was a bacteria...
