  1. I have facial numbness primarily on the left side. It's gotten much better since going gluten-free. Before I was diagnosed, I also had numbness and an altered feeling in my arm, and both of these along with tingling in my legs. At that point, the facial numbness was constant and was accompanied by tingling and frequent feelings of intense heat. I...
  2. Wow Nancy--that's great news! It's always good when we begin to "close in" on the cause of symptoms--and in time for vacation
  3. This is interesting! Incidently, the mix that started me wondering about tapioca was Pamela's Brownies. They were so good, but when I ate one, I'd get the stomach pain. Then, the same thing happened with Gluten Free Pantry's Spice Cake mix. I switched to some of the Gluten Free Pantry mixes that don't contain tapioca. There are several, and they...
  4. Oh yes--I discovered I was intolerant to tapioca after reacting to certain gluten-free mixes, and a flour mix that I made myself. When I eat something made with tapioca, I first get a dry mouth--immediately, like while I'm still eating it. Then, I get an upset stomach--nausea and stomach pain. Very unpleasant Sorry you and your daughter are experiencing...
  5. I have internal hemmorhoids (found during colonoscopy), and have a small amount of blood, usually just on the toilet paper, from time to time. I agree with speaking to your doctor about it again, just to set your mind at ease. This is something you want to be sure about
  6. Dove's Smooth and Soft Anti Frizz Cerme is also very good.
  7. Thanks for all you do. You're the greatest!

  8. Thanks for the sweet Christmas card!!!!!!! Merry Christmas, sweetie! xoxo

  9. You said "grainy". Does you mouth also feel dry? I get a very dry feeling in my mouth with certain foods that I'm intolerant to. Tapioca does this to me as well as some nuts.
  10. I haven't noticed a difference, either. I've been gluten-free for just over a year. I've been on blood pressure medication for about 8 years. The diet has not changed my bp at all. I still take 2 different medicines for it. I keep hoping, but as of yet, it's not changed. It does stay well controlled with the meds, though.
  11. Nantzie--I think I get what you describe when I eat something I'm intolerant to (not just gluten). The other day, I had a reaction from cornstarch. I had D for the rest of the afternoon, and now I have a tender spot on my lip--upper lip where it meets the skin on the left side. If I press it, it hurts, but there is nothing on the surface at all. They...
  12. Here ya go Lynne-- http://healthlink.mcw.edu/article/930606151.html
  13. Bully4You--thank you for the information! I'm definately going to look for the salt--it sounds great. It's nice to know about the seasoning mix, also.
  14. Thanks--I've never noticed it, but will look for it the next time! Sounds great
  15. Bev--Julie listed the legumes--and yes, wax beans are legumes. Chick peas and split peas, also. As far as nuts, I can do almonds--but right now, almond butter is too concentrated for me. I stick to the smaller amount in say, a Lara Bar or a few plain almonds. I don't want to rock the boat!! But I do miss nut butter with apple slices...
  16. Bev--I'm glad that the legume thing struck a chord--the legumes are what took me the longest to figure out! I love peanut butter, and was bound and determined not to give that up, too! But on the days I ate it, I would get the bad gas and the sweatiness. The gas was so bad, I literally was afraid to be around anyone--seriously! Add to that, I was also...
  17. Well, I have to say--you look pretty darn relaxed there!
  18. I'm afraid of the spice mixes. I buy individual McCormack spices and mix them up according to what I'm making.
  19. Well, peanut is a legume, as is soy. I don't know if there's a connection, but it is possible....something to think about, at least
  20. I'm sorry, Faegan--I missed your post this morning (was in a hurry to get ready to go out). Sandoz told me the same thing--I take one of their generics for my blood pressure. Glad you got an answer!
  21. I got this response when asking about Mrs. Butterworth's Syrup-- To: jerseyangel May 15, 2006 E-Mail Address: jerseyangel Dear Ms. Thank you for taking the time to inquire about Pinnacle Foods Corporation and the products we produce which might be gluten-free. We appreciate your interest in our company and our products. At...
  22. I'm not sure where you're located, but I get Gluten Free Pantry at my local Acme--their pancake mix is really good. My non gluten-free husband likes them, too! Also, Wegman's Pancake Syrup is gluten-free, and says so right on the label. (My husband actually likes it better than my pure maple syrup). Go figure
