    Response time and symptoms differ from person to person, and the form in which you were exposed. For me I normally get tightening under my neck/jaw line in my lymph nodes from direct consumption within minutes followed by vomiting a few hours later. Sometimes a cross contaminated or prepared/processed food it can take me 30-60mins before I noticed my gut...

    For me the pains, moods swings, anxiety, and the "Mr Hyde" I used to get have stopped along with a few other things. But the numbness, inability to process anything but the simplest of math problems (no longer able to do division, multiplication even written out), and computer programing (used to and even took college courses on it). Along with a bit of a...

    I ended up developing allergies to corn and bloat issues with potatoes and carbs in general. We each react differently, some of us will develop odd ball immune responses and intolerance to others foods. Some of these will go away over time as we heal others will stick around. Just hang in there and avoid what makes you sick while working on maintaining a...

    Sounds like they have no clue what they are dealing with and quite disorganized. I would suggest another doctor sadly. I went through several myself before finding one who actually understood it, and showed a concern and interest in my case straight up referring me to get a scoped, several blood test, and asked for me to come in every other week 3 times for...

    So I tried to eat some carbs again and started with a half cup of black beans. Well seems after eating just fats, protein and very small amounts of carbs from vegetables my body does not know what to do with carbs. I lost 3lbs of weight from waking up on a empty stomach and eating them with my 8 egg omelette, then eating a chopped salad with eggs, hemp seeds...

    Branched Chain Amino Acids. BCAA they can help prevent muscle break down. I found taking bcaa and yohimbine hcl between meals helps with preventing muscles from breaking down. I also take them with a scoop of protein powder before bed and once again in the middle of the night.....otherwise I end up waking up feeling like I was hit be a bus and loosing a...

    I found I had to replace my carb calories from those old foods with fats, seems to stick better that way with weight. Try having snacks of cashews, almonds, pumpkin seeds, etc. in between meals and perhaps try taking BCAAs to maintain muscle mass. If you do not have carb issues then perhaps bananas, dates, dried figs, for snacks also. If your looking for...

    I recall back when I was in denial of having celiacs years ago. I was at my grandmas and she had a old container of flour. I tried a bit of it on a whim, had a earthly flavor tad deep and off and I assumed it was old flour from god knows when. But I did not have a reaction to it, this made me think perhaps it was not gluten but the other crap they put in...

    Anyone else get really bad night sweats? I been getting them every night for several years now. My room can be freezing cold but I wake up covered in sweat. Some nights it is just minor other nights just drenched and have to use the couch. It is really bad after I get glutened and peaks for a week or so after, so I assumed it has to do with it. I have also...

    I have broken down and gotten a ice cream machine in the past 4 months and a bunch of lor ann oils ice cream flavorings. I found making a protein pudding mix flavoring it and loading it in for a after dinner bowl to make me pure pleasure and not care about breads/carbs. I normally start with a almond milk base, add a fat like almond butter, coconut flour...

    I was told by one of my customers at a farmers market I should see about getting a government grant, to expand my gluten free snack line and get a trailer to sell seeds, candied nuts, almond butters, and gluten-free granola at events. Being on a tight budget as is, and selling this stuff so I can afford my own consumption of food is hard enough. So needless...
  12. Ennis-TX
    Yes, that list I posted includes stuff to look out for in your cosmetics as well, I think. Spices get contaminated often depending on brands, sources, and packaging plants, you have to find brands that are certified, I find Spicely Orangics works here. Supplement wise I am on a ton. I take combinations of Liquid Health Brand, Stress & Energy...

    It really can be anywhere or any random source, Few tips, as mentioned eat whole foods only nothing processed, Use Freezer paper on your prep surfaces to fix your foods, perhaps gloves in case your touching something else (door to fridge, pantry, computer keyboard, etc) that might have trace gluten residue. Have dedicated gluten-free cooking utensils, pots...

    Ennis-TX replied to Mortiis's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease

    Perhaps take some meal bars, and a canister of meal replacement powder and a shaker bottle for emergency meals/fallback, I would say be careful of any prepared foods. I have never been to kenya but just my general travel suggestions is to bring my own and not trust anything processed/cooked by others.

    Working a modifying a recipe to be both Vegan and Grain free. I am a bit low on funds right now and can not test it. Feed back is welcome and if you do it perhaps get me a grams breakdown for duplication. 1 cup almond flour ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut 1 teaspoons cinnamon 1 teaspoons apple pie spice 1 teaspoon baking soda ½ teaspoon salt ¾...

    Yeah I found myself having issues with a whole list of foods, and do not digest carbs well. I have moved to a diet of mostly protein powders, nuts, seeds, egg whites, and veggies with small amounts of fruit. Few thoughts, try carton eggs like Egg Beaters, it might be a issue with digesting the yolk in eggs. And perhaps adding nutritional yeast like Braggs...

    Perhaps keep some nuts, seeds and gluten-free granola for snacking during the day, Add a handfuls in between meal times. Always have a emergency gluten-free bar, shake, meal replacement shake for on the go meals if you can not cook or have time to eat. I find BCAAs and Protein shakes between meals and before bed help to maintain weight. Eating a regular scheduled...

    I use lisanatti brand almond cheese least expensive and contains no whey or lactose, just a bit of casein. I been rotating between a local HEB Organics Almond milk (nice and creamy) and different brands of cashew milk which I find have a nice thicker texture like real milk. I even use them in combination with almond butter, lor ann icecream syrups and a sugar...

    Yes, there are a few people on here who are quite active and will also give you pointers. I am not as near active as I used to be, but I am starting to go on daily long power walks (5-6miles) and doing yoga (feel so great after a session) , and stretch band work at home. Getting my stamina back up to what it used to be years ago. I take several blends of...

    In the past 1-2 years I developed a issue with sugars and carbs. If I eat more then a tbsp of a grain, or a 1/4 piece of most fruits I get extreme bloating, stools to get looser but normally not D. Dairy with lactose gives me D, For me I was told it was something to do with the bio-flora in my intestines, in combinations with enzyme issues in my body (also...

    Honestly I had very late onset puberty, and a mental delay of interest like 5 years behind everyone else. Made me the real odd ball, top it off with Aspergers and life as a kid was tough. Back then we did not know it was celiac causing me do never want to do anything and always in pain (bloating was always bad and I assumed it was normal). I have no medical...

    Still struggle with weight, eat a whole bunch of almond butter, coconut, seeds, protein powders, and various supplements suggested by my dietician, And find myself constantly having protein shakes and BCAAs. Managed to stop the loss, and pretty much only have muscles left. Just consuming $500+ in food a month on a bodybuilder like diet at 126lbs and 5'11...
  23. Ennis-TX
    Yes I had this issue, might be a slightly different source then what you think for the contamination such as touching contaminated surfaces (tables, fridge handle, microwave) then touching your food. I recall when I used to be able to hold a job to some degree, the fridge actually was completely contaminated (They had a beer explode it on several occasions...

    Freezer Paper you prep surfaces, use your own cooking appliances, your own fridge, and disposable plates and utensils when you can. Keep a stash of gluten-free Safe snacks like from GERBs or Enjoy life around for munching. Wash your hands before cooking or eating anything, gloves might help with this. And a safe meal replacement shake to take with your if...

    Yeah, my first response to gluten is my lymp nodes swell, and I have been having the night sweats for a few years now. Got to admit the doctors actually causally said I might have lymphoma but needed further testing. Sorry can not be of more help, I will respond here if they ever get back to me about it.
