    I did not know all of this stuff was food related until I fasted for 5 days and never felt better in my life! I still could not get well even on celiac diet as my immune system was so messed up. I now cannot eat anything that is artificial-colors, flavors, preservatives, etc. My white cells attack my joints when I've eaten something bad and of course when...

    Most of us live with gluten people and have to share the kitchen. If we can wash and share the dishes and silverware I don't see why you can't clean the breadmaker. I'd put the basket thru the dishwasher.

    Are you eating anything new that you had not eaten before the gluten-free diet? This could be a food intolerance or a yeast die-off if you've eliminated sugar and flours. You could try fasting or eating things you are not now eating for a few days (at least 3) to see. We all seem to get the strangest symptoms, I now have what feels like water sloshing in...

    Wow, someone else crying alot! I have all of your symtoms but have been able to get control over the crying (someones for days straight) by eliminating sugar and simple carbs. I can now eat some if I eat with fiber and protein. Otherwise, can eat chips, potato or corn, and burst into tears in an hour over absolutely anything, even watching the news! I spent...

    I'm new but would like to chime in! I'm too skinny as I don't eat enuf carbs, so need help too. What you ate today sounds wonderful, was your snack before 8pm? I understand our body does not digest after that until the next morning. Also, don't know tinkyada pasta, I don't think I've seen it at my healthfood store (Oregon) but will check again. And what is...

    Well, here's another one, so I think your doc is wrong. I first started with the candida diet having no idea about gluten. When that cleared up but I still could not get well I just had to start looking around. I would think that most celiacs WOULD have yeast infections because our immune system and our intestines are impaired. What are you doing for all...

    So did I, dropped to 94lbs at 5'4", but you have to do it. It really is just the basics, meat and veggies. Dr. Crook says not even fruit to start because of the sugar. He does have recipes, I have all of his books and the cookbook but I'll bet there is a lot on the web. I have been able to get 10lbs back on now that I have been able to add back some carbs...

    I thought that coke had gluten because it has caramel coloring and caramel can have gluten. Anyone know for sure?

    Know how you feel. I have had the watery stuff lots., but never sure from what as I react to so many things. Do you have other food intolerances? The only thing I know how to do is drink lots of water all day to get the bad stuff out of my system. Hope some of the experts on here have some better ideas!

    That is wonderful! We need a sense of humor with this, don't we?

    The book Dangerous Grains says Celiac sprue and gluten sensivity are different, but the symtoms are the same. So you have gluten sensitivity, rather than being a celiac. I don't know which one I am, just know I can't eat it!

    Funny, you got 2 replies at the same time! At least we said the same thing.

    hi, maize is corn, so if you can do corn you can do maize. There is no gluten in it.

    Boy, getting the yeast out can really make you sick for awhile with brain fogs and headaches. Have you read any of Dr William Crooks books on yeast and candida? You will get sick from the die-off of the yeast and feel worse before you feel better, so don't give up! Undiagnosed gluten sensitivity seems to make us sensitive to lots of other things. I'm allergic...

    You were getting 2 bad things from the apple fritter. Sugar also causes brain fog and lethargy after the initial feel good rush. Dr. Frank Lawlis (he consults for Dr. Phil's show) wrote a book called The IQ Answer that explains how we can actually help our children do better in school and increase their IQ by changing their diet and eliminating sugar.

    I'm new to the board so I don't know you but I started crying when I read your message about being alone as I feel secluded and alone too. Then I read your second post and really can relate as I am giving up Mr. Greenbud right now too! I have used it for years and years to sleep as celiac seems to give you insomnia. I felt I was addicted too, but I believe...

    Hi, does it really matter what the tests say? I had one test when I had insurance and a doctor and it came back negative as I had not eaten gluten for weeks prior. I've never been able to get tested since so have just had to read, read, read. I've been sick all my life and am now 60. The gluten-free diet (I've been doing for about 3 years) saved my life but...

    I'm new to this sight and had just been wondering if men get this disease as much as women do, or even realize they have it. I think some in my family have it, both sexes, but people think you are nuts when you try to explain it to them and my family does not want to hear about it. You are lucky your wife and her family are so supportive. Being sick and weak...

    I have not been able to get well either, finally borrowed some money (I am retired and no longer have any health insurance) and went to a Naturopath who tested my blood for food intolerances. Everything I ate often I was sensitive too, and of course, when you eliminate gluten, you eat a lot of corn. I got very sick from corn as I did not realize that even...

    People, including me, that have allergies have dark circles under their eyes. I'm "allergic" to dust mites, dander, etc., but also have food "sensitivities" and when I eat something too often (I have to do a rotation diet) or eat anything with preservatives, MSG, nitrates, sulfites, artificial colors or flavors, I looked like I haven't slept for a week. I...
