    Thanks a lot, I will give it a go for sure.

    @cycling lady..I do fine with fats, I just miss not being able to even have a tortilla or a bread roll with anything... @bartfull....I have been doing an elimination diet, with careful monitoring of a food diary, which is how it became clear that I had a problem with Sulfites, I actually think I have had this problem for months, but its quite tricky to...

    Hello ladies, I'm hoping someone might be able to help. I have recently with the help of my Allergist discovered that I am Sulfite intolerant, which is a huge blow as I am of course Gluten intolerant and Dairy intolerant too. We also discovered I have an intolerance to yeast, corn eggs, and chickpeas. At the moment I am really struggling with things that...

    Thank you cycling lady!

    I attended a house warming pool party a while ago at my daughter's house, and she had invited a lot of her new friends along, but what I remember about the short time I was there was how rude and anti social I was. I felt crazy, and probably some people thought I was because I actually refused to shake someones hand, which still makes me cringe with shame...

    Hi, I have to go into hospital for an endoscopy and colonoscopy soon, for issues unrelated to Celiac Disease. I have been Gluten free for such a long time now, that I am aware there will be little evidence of Celaic Disease/Gluten intolerance, but I was wondering if they would be able to tell if my Villi has been damaged through a biopsy if I specifically...

    Hi DJ, I can relate, as I am going through pretty much the same thing myself at the moment. I went Gluten and Dairy free last year, and I have felt fine for quite some time, and then recently I began to notice problems with certain foods. I kept a food diary, writing in it every day, noting down every single thing that passed by my lips. To date I have...

    Can I have that recipe?
  9. Zebra007
    I am trying to think of what might work....What about toasting your bread in the evening, then making up your sandwich, then putting it into the fridge overnight, that way it should keep the bread "together" longer, or what about using those Gluten free wraps that are popular, they will enable you to roll up your ham and cheese easily and then wrap in cling...

    Yup, your boyfriend is definitely uninformed regarding your illness, or it could be that he wants to pretend it's not that serious, it can also of course be an inconvenience for some partners, that said, you have to take responsibility, you are allowing yourself to become even sicker, and I am not just talking about being glutened, I am referring to other...

    I have Urticeria on my forehead at the moment, it's been there for about 2 weeks now, and I have lost weight recently, because everything I eat has to be scrutinized and scribbled in my food diary as new and strange food allergies pop up!! I have found I cannot eat gluten-free Oats, Eggs, Tea and coffee, and other stuff!! if I get it wrong, I feel ill and...

    "Basically, it comes down to a different type of reaction to a food. We do know that allergic reactions and food intolerances are both miserable situations to be in" Yes, I absolutely agree, its no fun!
  13. Zebra007
    Ha! you have me confused now, as I thought a milk allergy WAS an intolerance to casein...this is what I found on Go Dairy Free..Maybe I am missing something here... Open Original Shared Link What Exactly is a Milk Allergy? Although they are often muddled together in conversation, milk allergies and lactose intolerance are quite different. A food...
  14. Zebra007
    I discovered quite quickly that I could not tolerate ice cream, cheese etc, and would have stomach ache and need the bathroom quite quickly after eating these foods. Then I discovered I could not tolerate Casein too, I found this out by using a creamer in my coffee which was lactose free but unbeknown to me contained Casein, Casein is the protein in milk...

    I use Daily Essential Enzymes and have found them to really make a difference to me..I choose these because they seemed like good value, and I have been taking them a week with no problems. Open Original Shared Link
  16. Zebra007
    This is from a Scientific paper.. Open Original Shared Link I just think it's worth keeping an open mind, and not ruling out the possibilities, bearing in mind as you state there is not enough reliable data yet.

    Here is the link to the article, I couldn't find it for a while, and it looks like she is referring to coffee, not instant coffee. Open Original Shared Link
  18. Zebra007
    My understanding is that problems arise with instant coffee like Nescafe, not freshly brewed coffee made with the real coffee beans or round coffee beans, and quite honestly I never blindly accept anybody's view (i.e. the so called experts!)on what affects me or not, but rather listen to my own body, and speaking for myself, I have been drinking Nescafe...

    I read an article the other day and thought the following may be beneficial and interesting to some. In a nutshell, fairly recent lab research has revealed that 10% of coffee is a protein that cross reacts with gluten antibodies. This means that if you are gluten sensitive or celiac and are avoiding gluten containing grains or perhaps have even gone...

    I can relate. I have had a nasty rash on and around my face for quite some time and once I cut out coffee it dropped from a level 10 to a level 4, so I knew I couldn't drink coffee, but I also knew I was still taking something else that my body was not happy with, and so I cut out Almond Milk that many people buy as it had a couple of suspect additives...

    Thanks!
  22. Zebra007
    I think I felt much the same as yourself when I first went gluten-free, and although it is hard to believe you will definitely feel better over time, but it doesn't happen overnight, and some days I still mourn the fact that I cannot just stop at a bakery and buy a chocolate eclair or eat out with friends, and so there is definitely a sense of loss which...

    I use Nivea cream which is reasonably priced and works well for my face. For my legs and arms I use this... Open Original Shared Link which is good and comes in a very large bottle, and sometimes I just like to use Coconut oil.
  24. Zebra007
    Do you have the website? I tried but nothing came up. I have never heard of them, but I am not in the States. I think I will order something from them.
  25. Zebra007
    Interestingly enough even before I got sick mashed potato was something I would never ever touch when eating out! Simply because some instinct told me not to, and that unless it came from my own kitchen it would be suspect. I think it is too easy to throw anything into it to make it taste better, and nobody would be the wiser. Also truth be told I am...
