Question for you as I have had problems with both chicken and eggs. Free range chicken and eggs from small farms (luckily, there are several in the area I live in) seem to be ok. If I eat chicken or eggs dining out I don't feel very well almost like I ate something contaminated with gluten. Red meat is extremely irritating and I can not eat it. Grass fed...

Do you share a kitchen with a gluten consumer? About a month ago I got some very good advise from some of the other members concerning cross contamination in my kitchen. I really took their advice to heart and split my kitchen and food prep and storage areas with my husband who is not gluten free. My point is that maybe the weight gain is one part inflamation...

Bartfull you are not kidding about the hills calling you back! That was our 4th visit to the Black Hills my husband loves it there.

We are many miles away in Wisconsin if you ever venture out that way I can clue you in on some fantastic rides! The Route of the Hiawatha, Utah is next on my list, hopefully this year. i recently discovered the Rails to Trails website 1,500 miles of trails in Wisconsin alone and many many more across the country! Happy riding!

Thanks for the tips! To Cycling Lady off the subject of celiac disease, have you ever been to South Dakota? We rode the George Mickleson trail last summer, my husband and I are bicycle bikers too and have been using our vacations to explore new trails across the country and that one is an unforgettable experience! My favorite form of exercise!

Interesting about the lemons I thought they were safer than dressing good to know. I am thinking of seeing a gastroenterology specialist hope it is worth the $ and the trip.

I would like to say thank you to all who share information it has been very helpful. I believe I am one of those who are sensitive to the undetectable ppm's as I have been eating (or so I think) a clean diet since October but still have occasional problems with inflammation. Inflammation to me means that my belly swells up like 2nd trimester pregnancy , minor...

I am experiencing similar issues with unexplained inflammation while following what I believe to be a gluten free diet. I am 2 days into a raw food only (which really means fruit, veggies and baked chicken breasts) diet. No nuts as there seems to be a cross contamination problem with all kinds that I have tried. Eating out is iffy but salad bars are a good...

I found an ebook that has spared me much misery in the way that there are ingredients I never would have guessed would cause inflammation and pain due to its gluten content such as caramel coloring (found in colas). The book is Celiac Disease Safe/Unsafe Food List and Essential Information by Jaqui Karr C.S.N., C.V.D. I am new to this too but have learned...

I have the same issue with sharing a kitchen with my husband. I need to keep separate items such as peanutbutter and dips, anything a person can contaminate by double dipping. We just put our initials on the jars. I am one of those super sensitive people so I take no chances and keep utensils where they should not come in contact with crumbs.
