    Problem is, they will say it's gluten free because they didn't put flour in it. I've just picked salad with no dressing, cheese, raw veggies, butter, all safe stuff.

    Yes I have, there is a book titled "dropping acid" and it deals with this and other related topics. I swear by this now.

    I tell myself that I am saving my health by sticking to it, and yes, I do miss those days of eating whatever, whenever. Sometimes there are unseen symptoms of Celiac or gluten sensitivities, one being osteoporosis, and I sure don't want that. The other is ruining the lining of your stomach, which I've done, making it harder to eat gluten free things, like...

    Restaurant dining and the staff knowledge is frustrating. I already know that they know nothing, lol. They think they do - but they don't. They think that if they aren't dumping flour on it, then it must be gluten free. I have a couple places in town that I eat, and get the same thing. About the Chinese food, I order a special plate of veggie fried rice...

    My sister and I are both Celiac. We had differing symptoms. Her stomach got way worse than mine. Have you noticed that often products will be gluten free, soy free and dairy free? This is because for some unknown reason, that there is a connection between those three. Presumably, the gluten has ruined the intestines to the point that soy and dairy are hard...

    I hear ya, I too have wondered the same thing. We are lucky in that our bodies always try to default back to its healthy normal. I tell myself that because I no longer cause inflammation from gluten, that I have no diverted any autoimmune disorders that were heading my way. I tell myself that because of being celiac, that I eat way better than anyone...

    If memory serves, I think psoriasis can cause those ridges, and psoriasis can be a symptom or offshoot of Celiac. I've had psoriasis for years! and some ridges, but discovered by accident/divine intervention, that carpets caused my psoriasis.

    My one misconception? I think it would be that I am just following some fad. I work in a resort and get lots of people stating they need gluten free meals, so me being the 'expert', gets to read labels and make suggestions. Then these same people will eat the breaded chicken! I also have my suggestions put aside because the cooks read the label...

    My feet used to swell up too. Impossible to sleep. Started using compression stockings and that helped. Off that job for half year, meanwhile getting 100% gluten free. Back on my feet again all day and 2 weeks later notice my feet are not swelling or heating up like before. So yes, there is a connection.

    You sound like my sister. Basically her stomach was fried from the gluten. Taking zantac helped to get the healing started. So it was no gluten. Improvement. After much trial and error it was also soy and dairy. But in the beginning even a glass of water created nasty symptoms. Fyi. Zantac is gluten free. Prescription zantac has gluten.

    yes! Horrible anxiety and psoriasis. Generally my symptoms were a wham to the inside of my head. Call it a type of quick and concentrated brain fog. Sometimes it felt like being whoozie and other times like my head was spinning but in a half spin. If i get accidentally glutenized i will get the head thing. Later from 30 mins to 3 hrs my heart will skip. ...

    Yup, corn, that's on my avoid list now too. Can eat gluten free corn based cheezies if not too much. But last time I ate popcorn, cheesey gluten free, I got lightheaded, had bloating, and intestinal issues. Fiber related? As the powdered corn products don't have these reactions. Potatos cause bloating and more lightheadedness. Both are worse on empty stomachs...
