    Interesting. I saw some Scottish oats and wondered if they might be safe. I don't know where they are grown or processed though. I'll ask the company and post about it if they're definitely ok.

    I actually have the fluid retention in my legs and feet now, and part of my right hand still feels a bit numb. I've been gluten-free for almost a year now! The puffyness didn't show up until recently, unless I ate like a whole bunch of chips or something. It would go away in a day or two, so I figured it was the salt. However, I recently tried some soy cheese...

    In your other post you mentioned how large your school is. Statistically, there would more than likely be others who also have an intolerance to gluten. They just don't know it yet. I was terribly ill all the time and was in the nurse's office quite a bit. I'd have to either stay there or she'd have me sent home. It wasn't for a number of years later that...

    Sorry to hear you are having a hard time. If it helps you any, I've been getting quite a bit of trouble from my own family. They have never understood or accepted my dietary necessities, as if it's all in my mind or something. The thing that worries me about what you have said is the cheating part. You'll never truly be fully recovered and free of symptoms...

    I simply restated what Sk8ing was saying, in an effort to clarify it. It only appears as if I said it when taken out of context. The logic being used is a process of elimination. Once you rule out everything else, what you are left with is more likely to be the answer. Though allergies do appear to be detected easier from what I'm hearing. Perhaps because...

    I do know the feeling, as I'm sure others do. I'm just now trying a few new kinds of things, after years of the same food every day. If I can actually find enough meals without rice for more than one day it will be a miracle. Between Celiac and yeast/sugar, etc, I haven't had much to choose from until just recently. I could only have one piece of fruit in...

    I just ran into this article on the effects of whey vs casein. It's quite interesting - or alarming, depending on how you look at it. Open Original Shared Link Casein/animal based protein was discussed on national radio last night, including a correlation to auto-immune diseases: Open Original Shared Link Here's some additional stuff about casein...

    Ore-Ida fries are gluten-free. At least the shoestrings are. Some other potato products they have are also safe, like the tator tots. Just make sure you get the right ones, since they also have flavored up varieties, though I never liked those anyway. There is a gluten-free list on their site: Open Original Shared Link. BTW, you might be interested to...

    That reminds me. I found eating garlic to be good for combatting yeast, and for colds/flu too. It works much better when it's raw and fresh. Avoid buying bulbs that are too large. I'd toast some bread until dry/crispy, mash up the garlic with olive oil or margarine, and spread generously on the bread. The crispy bread can feel scratchy going down, which is...

    That's one thing I've been wondering about. I love corn, and I recently found some corn pasta, but I would have to order it. I haven't seen much available so I'm thinking maybe corn doesn't work too well for pasta. Can you describe the general differences in tastes and consistancy? I know it varies from brand to brand, but anything you can tell me will be...

    Ah, ok. I just like tortilla chips, and I get organic ones locally Nice and crunchy! Anytime I've had taco shells, they did always crack apart on the first bite. A few seconds in the microwave before serving might do the trick - not sure.

    Since you didn't mention ThreeLac, I'd point that out as was noted earlier in the thread. I've no personal experience with it, but there are others who seem to have had success using it. I only used Caprylic acid, which seemed to do the job quite well, especially considering I had been unknowingly drowning in yeast for years. And yes, no sugars of any kind...

    I agree that it sounds like a thyroid problem. As I understand it, one of the more noticable problems from the damage to the small intestine is not absorbing magnesium. That is very important for a whole lot of things, including the thyroid. Iodine is also important of course. While I'd recommend getting it checked, I wouldn't let them talk me into radiation...

    What? No yummy corn crunch?! I'd never do that to a tortilla. To each his/her own I guess.

    I just suggested some other cereals in Open Original Shared Link. I haven't tried them all yet, but I plan to eventually.

    Before I stopped having milk, I liked the plain puffed rice and corn cereals. Nothing on them either, except the milk. Anyway, I haven't looked into the gluten status of either of them, but they are supposed to be just the puffed rice/corn. Though the puffed rice isn't crispy, it might work...sorta...maybe you can toast them first? As they are it would be...

    I always liked the plain oats. Those flavored things didn't interest me. I like adding a bit of all-natural unsweetened apple sauce, or maybe a few raisins. Cinnamon is nice too. Mostly I like what margarine does for it though. Sometimes a pinch of salt too. I'm not into the sweet stuff, so I go very lightly on that. Oats seem subject to more cross-contamination...

    Yes, absolutely!! For me the "buzzing" as you call it got so bad, I couldn't walk. I thought of it as a kind of spazm - the muscles would suddenly tense up and it would feel like I was being electricuted at the same time. At its worst, even the slightest move could set it off. This lasted nearly a month in total, though not all the same intensity. This...

    I just happened to mention this recently too. My thought is based on the fact that proteins are broken down into simpler structures using enzymes. Therefore, it should be possible to have an enzyme that can break down the gluten protein molecule, right? That's sorta what the immune system is attempting to do anyway, as I understand it. The thing is, you'd...

    I don't have a scientific or medical explanation, but I do know that for me it was really painful, and all I could do is find the least irritating movements and stick to those. For my hip, leg and knee pains, I found it GREATLY beneficial to use a leg pillow (or fold up an extra blanket) to lessen the stress while sleeping. It made a huge difference for me...

    Since I don't use any alcohol anyway, I'd either use some sort of juice, or just leave it out altogether. It depends on what I'm making. Some substitutes that seem like they'd work in place of wine are: palmogranite juice cranberry juice grape juice lemon juice lime juice orange juice Certain combinations of these might work too. I'm sure there...

    This experience is shared by so many I lost count. I'd suggest going gluten-free and see what happens. You don't need a doctor to do that, and it's safe and healthy either way. If you really want a doctor to tell you that you have gluten intolerance and/or Celiac disease however, keep in mind that many get false negatives if they aren't consuming gluten up...

    I can't relate to the rice crispy type "FizzyHips", but the pain - oh yes. For me it wasn't side to side as much as forward and back. It lasted quite awhile, though not at a constant level. It gradually got worse until I couldn't actually walk, which lasted nearly a month. I do attribute it to Celiac. I also have had severe pain in various other places...

    I'd try to help the body eliminate the gluten. Apples, dried prunes, etc are good. The soluable fiber might help "capture" the stuff and hopefully keep some of it away from the body, minimizing the reactions. Green leafy veggies are also good for the gut, so I'd be focusing on those too. That's just a guess on my part, but it seems logical. Fortunately...

    Glad you found Tinkyada as nice as so many others have. Even when I was unknowingly damaging my insides with gluten, I didn't like the cheap pastas. I have always been quite picky about the quality of the foods I eat, and that goes for pasta too. I was using high quality durham semolina pastas. I ate a pound of it almost every day, which of course was...
