    Hello, I am hoping to get some recommendations for safe gluten-free friendly restaurants on the Kenai peninsula (Alaska). We'll be there for about 10 days and will travel to Whittier, Soldotna, Seward and Homer. I have done some research online but I always like to ask this forum for advice when I travel. Any suggestions are appreciated...

    Just adding to what others have said. It does take some time but it's likely you will start to feel better. It took me about a year but now I feel great. A good probiotic might help. I use one from Synergy that my naturopathic doctor sells at her office. I have gotten in the habit of emailing restaurants before I try them and have had very good luck...

    I had shortness of breath for about 6 months about after going gluten free (started around month 3). I do have some other contributing factors that are heart related but I don't think they were the main cause. Mine seemed to get really bad after eating eggs (severe reflux). I am also suspicious about soy. Some of the gluten-free waffles I was eating contained...

    Thanks. I do see a number of options on "Find me Gluten Free". I"ll see if reading those reviews helps me figure out how safe the places are. I'll pack a cooler, too. We're driving from the Bay Area so that will be easy.

    Hello, I am planning a trip to South Lake Tahoe and wanted to see if anyone on the forum might have some good suggestions for places to eat. We're staying at the Mont Bleu for 2 nights. I know the restaurants there are not particularly good options. A friend recommended Freshies so we might try that. I've also heard that Base Camp Pizza has gluten...

    Hi All, I have been gluten free for about a year now (severe intolerance but have not been able to get firm diagnosis). Most GI symptoms are under control but I continue to suffer from many of the common neurological symptoms. As a result, I struggle at work because my job requires a lot of attention to detail and understanding of fairly complex subjects...

    I recently spent 2 weeks in remote areas of Montana and Wyoming and am quite sensitive to gluten. If you can get access to a microwave in the hotel, that will help. I had to rely on healthy snacking most of the time. Here is my list: Beef jerky ordered online from the Healthy Jerky Company, veggies and chicken broth heated in microwave, gluten free bread...

    Sorry to hear you are having these issues. I went gluten free about 8 months ago due to a range of classic celiac symptoms for years (but don't have celiac disease diagnosis). I still get some of the symptoms you described, especially the light headed feeling and pressure. For me, it's usually worse after I eat breakfast (7am) until about noon. I find...

    I just got an email indicating I wrote a response but didn't properly post it. So here is what I wrote a few days ago: Wow. This sounds bad. So sorry it took so long to resolve (and hope you feel good now). There is a history of gallstones on both sides of my family (amazing what you can learn on Open Original Shared Link). I will talk to the GI...

    I do have pain in upper right abdomen and mentioned that to the doctor. I've had that for quite some time. I definitely can only eat small meals right now, which is why its been a challenge to get enough quality calories each day. I do need to lose some weight but not as quickly as I have been. The last couple of days have been fairly symptom free...

    Thanks to both of you! I really appreciate the input and will try a digestive enzyme. I've been taking a probiotic for a couple of weeks (Culturelle) so maybe that is helping. My doc sent me off to a GI specialist (have an ultrasound next week to check gall bladder). My primary doc handed me a few bottles of Dexilant and I politely took them and stowed...

    Oh yes. I was doing well on the gluten free diet until the GERD symptoms started. I now realize that I may have been focusing too much on the fact that everything had to by gluten free and not paying attention to my fat content. But for the most part, I was feeling well. Now I am just trying to get enough protein (animal and plant) and limiting fat since...

    I have been dealing with gluten intolerance for about 4 months (Celiac genetic test was inconclusive). Now I have developed fairly severe GERD symptoms. I'm seeing doctors for this but I want to try and avoid going on medication if possible. Its improved a little with a strict GERD diet but I'm having a hard time getting enough calories due to the...

    The Philosophy lotion I used does have oats so maybe I was reacting to that. Thanks - I appreciate your input.

    Hello, I've recently developed severe reactions to gluten (after a lifetime of symptoms that now make sense). I'm not yet diagnosed with celiacs and the genetic test showed < 1% chance of developing it. Yesterday I reacted to something and noticed some new symptoms. The skin on my lower stomach was super sensitive to the touch (almost like needles...
