    I just received the attached list of Gluten Free products from Heinz. The last bottle of Heinz 57 I purchased said "Allergens: Soy" so I thought gluten had been removed. I think not, but wanted to pass this along. Odd, their Organic Ketchup is not gluten free. ************************* Thank you for your interest in Heinz Products. We certainly...

    Hmmm. lots of good info here... relating to yeast in bowel, good to have tested - I not only had yeast, but staph! So hard to medicate until MD knows exactly what is in there... My MD relates high glycemic index to yeast - I can have raspberries, green apples & grapefruit, but only after a year of rotation & no gluten. I'm okay with stevia...

    Hi, Becky! There's so much to cover - optic neuritis was my first indication MS was coming, they say. I also had all the options tested - lupus fibromyaliga, epstein barr, etc. My falling hair was thyroid and progesterone and I think some celiac. The numbness should clear with time. I don't know about MRI's - I was about ready for a wheelchair but...

    As we all know, even "corn" tortillas can have gluten flour added for some reason. WARNING. Jack in the Box taco has gluten - caught me by surprise...

    Your story sounds like mine, I'm 55 and chasing this since I was 25. I've learned a few things that might help. Celiac/Gluten intolerance is your first best bet. Hormonal fluctuations can cause lots of your symptoms (PMDD, pre menstral disorder dystphoria. ... bloating, horrible mood swings, depression, night sweats, and insomnia) and can go hand in...

    Nystatin is an antifungal than can be used long term, no liver damage, inexpensive. Yeasties produce mycotoxins that give you some of those symptoms, headache, body pains, joint inflammation, etc. When you take an antifungal, the big die-off makes those symptoms worse. Sometimes 1/2 to 1 teaspone baking soda in water can help, but I like to stick...

    WalMart sells a puffed brown rice, no other ingredients for about 78 cents a bag. Same stuff (but organic) is $2. something at my health food store. I like it with frozen raspberries (nuked 30 seconds), stevia, and rice milk ($1.88 at WM) or almond milk!

    Hi, Bridget, just saw mention of blood tests. My MD says they have lowered the levels to consider the gluten testing positive, but she says diet challenge is the best test. Some people are clearly gluten intolerant, but the test may not show that. They are getting ready to come out with saliva testing that is more reliable, but don't let them talk you...

    Hi, Bridget! I know exactly what you're going through. It sounds like me in my 20's and finally at 55 I hope I understand some of it. A lot of the symptoms are related to celiac disease. Maybe you have other food sensitivities if the diet is only partially effective. A 30-day rotation diet eating the same foods only once every three days staying...

    This is an interesting string with a lot of good info in it. Diagnosed with MS in 1996 after years of MD's with only pharmaceuticals to offer to cover symptoms, I found a DO (Dr. of Osteopathy - like MD with more microbiology) who follows the gluten link. I was doing research and asking questions, but got continual responses from MD's ranging from pooh...

    Hi! Your story sounds much like mine including chasing the doctors for years about symptoms and ideas until I was diagnosed with MS Multiple Sclerosis in 1996. Spent 8 years taking multiple prescriptions for the symptoms, now have an MD who has found the gluten and yeast link. Feeling much better and no more drugs going through my liver. Your...
