    Dairy-induced acne actually runs in my family, so it definitely happens. My mom would always break out with dairy, especially cheese. My brother would (maybe he still does? I dunno) and I always knew I did. I majorly cut back on dairy for a month before my brother's wedding to clear up my face for photos. Oddly enough my back acne cleared up after giving...

    Great ideas! Today I bought myself two glass tupperware containers and a set of Mason jars. Now I just need to eat something out of the jars with a spork that normally belongs on a plate and I'll be one step closer to fitting in with the other young'uns of my generation. lol I never liked the way plastic tupperware wares down (and starts to stink!) and...

    I definitely need more healthy fats. Maybe I should have some avocados. And everything I've heard about coconut products sounds amazing. I should look into that. I've given up most processed foods now, though I admit I do still eat plain Rice Chex (dry) in the morning. I've found hey're the most gentle thing on my tummy first thing. I've been eating a lot...

    I haven't talked to my doctor about that. I did a little research after I saw your suggestion and it doesn't quite sound like what I have. The page I found says the symptoms are like untreated Celiac disease, though more severe and disabling. While I notice anything in my body that's even slightly off (possibly due to Asperger's and the sensory processing...

    I felt pretty good after the sorbet. I checked their website and saw the thing Karen found about how only the flavors with chunks of cookie or brownie or whatever else have gluten. I even clicked a filter on their website for gluten free and dairy free and the 4 sorbets were the only things that came up. They have a gluten free symbol on the containers,...

    Thanks. I'll see about the Newbie 101 section. Eating at my school's cafeteria will have to be a must this next semester. My dorm wing doesn't have a kitchen... and even if it did I'd be sharing with 30 other girls. The little microwave we have already scares me... and the crumbs all over the counter... *shudders* I think my best bet for next semester...

    This is getting confusing... people on here say you need a diagnosis if you want anyone to take you seriously, and that you should never cheat on a gluten free diet, but people also recommend I poison myself for weeks just to get a diagnosis? I have to nearly kill myself just to get help from a doctor and get people to stop rolling their eyes and scoffing...

    Oh gosh... a gluten challenge? That doesn't sound like a fun thing. If I still feel bad though, and get glutened occasionally, isn't that enough for a test? Do I really have to ingest gluten deliberately? At school I eat in the cafe. It's a 4 star restaurant and they try to be really careful about gluten. They make all their sauces gluten free and label...

    I actually haven't been tested for Celiac yet. I know gluten messes me up a lot, so I joined the forum to get answers from people who know about living gluten-free better than anyone, but I don't know if I have Celiac or non-Celiac gluten sensitivity. I was going to the doctor all summer to try and stomp out Gastritis. Only took 3 months of antacids...

    Thanks for the replies! I'm getting a little scared, to be honest... I've avoided dairy for the last two days and now I feel really weak and tired and sore, and like I'll get dizzy if I try to go about my business. And I have veeeerrrry slight chest pain. Like if I wasn't listening to my body right now I wouldn't notice it. It could partially be because...

    I've been lactose intolerant since I was little, and I started taking lactaid pills or generic brand alternatives at age 18. I always did really well with them. Now I feel icky when I eat a lot of dairy. It's like a gluten reaction, but milder. I get pains all over my stomach, and bloating, and my head feels all blah, even when I take enough lactaid or equate...

    Thanks so much! Trying to figure out all this kitchen stuff is a headache in and of itself!

    My gosh! Ennis have you tried to call the cops on that jerk? If he's trying to hurt you or make you sick on purpose, he should get in trouble with the law! I mean you have a legitimate medical diagnosis, you warned him several times, he kept doing things like this and you got sick several times, and then you caught him on video doing it again. That's enough...

    Mmmmmm furniture... haha jk. Nah, I'm just concerned because of all this stuff I've read about getting glutened from touching something and then touching your mouth, because I sometimes eat finger food while doing homework or I put the side of my finger up to my lips when I'm concentrating. It seems like there are a few people on here who can be glutened...

    I have some plastic tupperware containers I bought before going to college that I've barely used. I think the only time any of them have had gluten in them was my first semester before my symptoms started and one was full of cookies. They've all been washed since, but with the scrubber in my mom's kitchen that she uses on all her dishes that don't go in...

    I wasn't aware just how sensitive I was last August when I moved in... but I did wipe everything down anyway. I mean you never know what was in the drawers the previous year. 0.o I guess since now I'm more aware of different ways of getting glutened, I'm starting to feel like... a glutenaphobe. And I was reading all these forums about de-glutening a kitchen...

    This last semester my roommate and I had our dorm furniture arranged symmetrically. My half of the room was gluten free, hers was not. She left a muffin on her dresser so long with so many other things it became a big pile of slightly moldy crumbs by the end of the semester. Once I came home from church and found her still in bed with a doughnut right next...
