    Monica--Before this Christmas baking fiasco, I always just used rice flour and some potato starch to soften it up a bit. Never a problem. I shouldn't have tried to fix something that wasn't broken! Whole, natural foods sound like a great idea right about now.

    I've never been DX with depression, but before being gluten-free, I suffered from anxiety, panic attacks (infrequent), and depression. After about 4 months gluten-free, I felt a lot better--the anxiety was pretty much gone and I would wake up feeling more positive. I have not had an anxiety attack since I cut out the gluten. If I am glutened, I immediately...

    Monica--Thanks for responding so fast! I also was excited that my cookies came out well, and proceded to eat some of each kind. All were made with the mix with the tapioca flour in it. I didn't feel well the next morning and I blamed the Hershey's Dark Chocolate Kisses in the Peanut Blossoms! So, what did I do--I made choc. chip cookies with the flour...

    Rachel--Oh my gosh--I've never even heard of salicylates but most of the foods you mentioned affect me in one way or another. I also have frequent burning feelings in my face, mouth and feet. I will Google it, but is there any book or other info. that you could suggest? I'm very sensitive to perfumes also--to the point that some will make me feel faint...

    I've been sick for 3 weeks now. I've been over everything I've eaten and used. I do not feel like I've been glutened. No D (the big tip off), but upper abdominal stuff like lots of gas, pressure, belching, nausea, and a burning in my mouth and dry throat. I've been going 2 times a day--it had been once for quite a while now. I almost feel like I've been...

    Joanna--When you do master the Shoo Fly Pie, please post the recipe--I love that pie. Reminds me of the many trips to Lancaster, PA with my husband and boys. Have a nice holiday

    So happy to hear of your nice evening at Outback! I have one nearby and have not tried it yet. And yes--if you type in the letters G and then F, it will appear as gluten free.

    Thanks, George--I think the article explained things very well.

    Thanks, Lauren--that was very interesting. Have a nice holiday

    I find myself doing the same thing. Since there is so much I can't have that I used to take for granted, I compansate by eating the safe goodies more than I should. Gluten free or not, I've always had this problem--and the extra 20 lbs. to show for it

    Something similar is happening with me. I was DX at the beginning of June. After the first 3 months or so, I felt much better. Actually, Oct. and Nov. were great. I felt well, and thought the worst was over--I thought that if I stayed gluten-free as I had been, that was it. Well, Dec. is proving me wrong! I accidently got some gluten thru cross contamination...

    Nathela--Hi and welcome! Glad you found us here. The endoscopy, for me , was no big deal at all. I was asleep for it, woke up feeling rested. You'll do fine with it, I'm sure. Sorry it took you so long to come back from the flu. 3 months gluten-free is a relatively short time. Most (like you) find some improvement after going gluten-free, but I didn...

    I contacted the co. a few months back about Listerine--they told me the alcohol was not derived from a grain source. I use it all the time with no problem. I believe its the Arctic Mint flavor.

    Thanks for posting--I thought it was a good article. Actually, they talked about spelt as an alternative for those with wheat allergies. It may make them less likely to experience reactions. I thought the onfo. regarding Celiac was accurate.

    I used this recipe for sugar cookies and they were great--my family liked them as well as the ones with wheat-- SUGAR COOKIES 2 cups shortening 2 cups sugar 4 eggs 6 cups rice flour blend 3 tsp. xanthan gum 4 tsp. baking powder 1 tsp. baking soda 1 tsp. salt In large bowl, cream shortening and sugar. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Add dry...

    Vincent--Well now you don't have to have that "but what if its something else" doubt. Good that you know for sure--at least now you know what to do and will do so much better as time goes on. Hope you and your family have a nice holiday

    The Whole Foods near me has their own line called The Gluten Free Bakeshop. They have a sandwich bread that is very good. I don't think all Whole Foods have this yet. Where are you? I know the stores on the east coast have it, not sure which others.

    I use Clabber Girl baking powder--says gluten free right on the label! Arm and Hammer Baking Soda is gluten free. Gabby--my kitty looks an awful lot like yours, too, except mine is a longhair. I hope to have his picture up by my name soon. (have to figure out how first)

    I'm cold all the time it seems--except after I've been asleep for a few hours at night. Then I wake up hot and sweaty. That, I think, has more to do with my age

    Wow--that Doctor is a real find! Good luck on the results

    Bridget--Glad you had a perfect NY day, and congrats. on the tests!! Merry Christmas --Patti

    Hi Dani--Sorry you're not feeling well. Some hams and herbal teas contain gluten. Those are things you have to check out. I also get the burning. I tend to feel it on the bottom of my feet and on my face. Kind of like burning from the inside. No rash or anything on the skin--just the burning. The weakness hits me in the legs. I was accidently glutened...

    I can relate, too. Yesterday my husband and I went out for the day--shopping, etc. I was wearing a leather jacket--not heavy, no thick lining--and my shoulders and neck were sore from that. It felt like I was wearing weights on my body! After a few hours, my legs were feeling weak--like they could give out (of course they didn't). It was such a nice day...

    I had the CBC and metabolic panel done at 6 months because I was anemic and my white cell count was low and a few other things were out of range pre DX. I will be seeing my GI the first week of Jan. -- don't know if he will do any more testing.
