    Tiffany, no if fact after I posted it dawned on me I didn't try heating them alittle first. I'll do that today when I make my lunch. Thanks, Gail

    I shop at Woodmans for groceries and I noticed that they were selling gluten free tortillas from the food for life line. But they were in the mark down bins and I thought oh boy I wonder if they're no good because of people returning them. I bought them anyway and although they taste ok they crack when you roll them. I think Woodmans is probably discountinuing...

    I buy Sunkrist light tuna packed in water. Its just tuna, water and salt. Also you don't want to eat albacore tuna because its from older fish for some reason can't remember but being older they have more mercury in them.

    Just make sure the egg is not cracked in anyway. Then its very important to eat the mayo within 3 days top. So don't make too much at once.

    If you read the article doesn't it make sense that in the diet they recommend Jerusalem artichokes? I spend so much on suppliments I really would like to get better by eating the right foods. Does anybody here take FOS and is it expensive? This is a great article though and an eye opener. They say to avoid rice, vinegar, pepper, and mustard all of which...

    Thanks for all the wonderful replies. I plan on going there this saturday morning. I checked the ingredient lists for McDonalds because I get pretty sick with MSG too. The sausage patties have them in. I'm going to see if they'll make me the egg McMuffin without the muffin or get the big breakfast and substitute the canadian bacon for sausage. The...

    This is the first year I've had bronchitis since the 80's. For close to 6 weeks now I've had the worse cough and is only now finally getting better. In the beginning though I couldn't sleep well I was coughing so much. Sometimes productive and other times a dry tickle, it was weird. The only thing different this year is we're running a space heater to...

    I really would like to taste how McDonalds new coffee tastes like but to make it worth the trip it would be nice to order something else for breakfast. Since my favorite egg McMuffin is out of the questions does anyone know of a gluten free choice I could have?. Thanks Gail

    Its just my opinion but I think eating non-gluten breads made out of corn starch, tapioca starch, or potato starch has to have an effect on our guts. Corn starch especially, it looks like plaster of paris. I've had one of those Chebe bread mixes in my pantry for like 2 months and when I go to get it I change my mind about making it because it feels like...

    Beans will bloat me also. I have them in small quantities. Cabbage is the worse for me. My stomach fills with gas and pushes up into my esophagus. I feel like its choking me. I don't think I'm allergic to these foods I just think we lack the digestive enzymes it takes to digest them. But I have yet to find one that works.

    I have to wait for my mascara to dry before putting on my glasses or I'll get streaks up and down the lenses.On the otherhand my nails have always been bad. Their soft and I have to trim them or they'll snag on things.

    I can only give you perspective as the parent. We just want to connect with our teenagers and forget we're asking the same questions all the time. I can see how that can be annoying reading your post. Maybe you have to explain that to them. When I would ask my son to many questions about something he would just look at me and take a breath and not give...

    Mally's Ma, We just got a puppy, alittle long-haired miniture dachshound that oh so cute but a little devil most of the time. It reminded me of the time when my boys were babies and they needed all my attention all of the time. I never thought I'd get through those times it was very very hard. But you do and it does get easier. My boys are 21 and...

    I would like to also thank you for your responses to my question of support groups and how people view self diagnoses. All I have to say is I don't care what a doctor or test reveal, gluen bothers me and I'm very happy to give it up and will avoid it anyway.

    I'm in the same boat as you are. I've been gluten free for 4 mo.s and its so nice not to have the pain I used to have. My symptoms were muscle and joint pain so bad in the mornings it was hard to get out of bed. I'd have night sweats and dreams where people or animals were chasing me to kill me. I'd have depression that was awful and constipation. So...

    I drink about 5 oz of red wine with my evening meal. Its one of the little perks I look forward to since most of my diet has been excluded, my most favorite being italian. I don't drink any more than that and I don't drink to get drunk or party. So I really don't know what to advise you. Alcohol is hard on the lining of the stomach and intestines when...

    I feel worse in the winter but I live in Wisconsin and the winters are cold and overcast and I'm in constant worry I'm going to get the flu. lol. I think I probably have SAD but never wanted to get those light boxes. I don't see as many people in the winter,, my parents go down south to live, the roads are bad to travel, can't afford vacations...I could...

    Kim, Do you still have an uneasy feeling when your stomach is full. Food issues are not easy to get over. I can tell you what I'd eat to gain weight but it mostly involves high fat foods and desserts after I'd ate a nice lunch or supper. You don't have to be scared to eat anymore. and keep telling yourself that. You said you eat lots of salads, well...

    I just have to agree with everyone on eliminating the diet to fruit, veggies, and protien. Carbs are hard to digest. They sit in the gut attracting water to move them out and because they are not digested they cause permeated guts or leaky guts. That means foods get into your bloodstream and that causes the food allergies. A good book is Breaking the...

    Vit K deficiency also results in bruising. Have you been on any antibiotics? That can cause a problem with vit. K loss. I think foods high in K are cabbage and broccoli, and canola oil. What else comes to mind is maybe being on aspirin therapy? That can cause your blood to get too thin.

    A good calcium/magnesium supplement works by relaxing the muscle and therefore no cramping but the hitch is you have to be taking it for at least one month to get the benefit. So I guess this is good advice for your next period.

    Bruising is a sign that your not getting enough vit. C. Try increasing you intake. I bet your gums bleed when you brush your teeth. Another good one is CoQ 10. That really helped me with the gum bleeding. It helps increase the intregrety of the vessel walls. But the C is the biggest issue.

    YES! Everytime I have something prepared from Amy's I do. I don't know what it is though. I'll have trouble sleeping and be restless all night and when I do sleep I'll have frightning dreams. I feel like a do when I have MSG. So unless its an ingredient that's a derivative of MSG I don't know. I suspect it is.

    The mistakes I've made were investing in all of the flours. I thought I'd be baking but the few attempts I've tried were so dissappointing that I don't want to waste my time doing that anymore. I'll just buy the mixes like Pamala's brownies once every other week. One loaf of millet bread lasts for two to three weeks since I only have one slice in the morning...
