    I emailed Uncle Bens and they emailed me back a phone number. It is annoying they can't just email the info. I am getting sick of phone calls. Sometimes I see Asian noodles that don't claim to be gluten-free but just don't seem to have any gluten in the ingredients. The Taste Of Thai claims to be gluten free. https://atasteofthai.com/faqs.php

    Sounds like what I've been dealing with too. I have found some rice noodles that have been okay for me. Maybe it's made from white rice flour (the ingredients don't specify, but the noodles are white in color). I like the "straight cut" ones. The really skinny thin ones fall apart easily and tend to taste more like plain old rice for some reason. I find...

    Thanks for the info. I seem to be able to eat some carbs and be okay. Like there are some gluten-free pita breads, they are made with like rice flour and tapioca starch and such. And I do have sugar in my coffee and sometimes have some ice cream. It is getting hard to find cheap food that is healthy and okay. A few cheap "fillers" would be helpful. But...

    Thank you both for your help. That's too bad about the Corona, but better safe than sorry. I am not up to drinking a beer yet, but hope to someday. I don't drink often, but on a hot summer day or on a holiday or something, it's nice to be able to have something. Our neighbor makes an amazing oatmeal stout, I will miss that. Sort of off the beer...

    Does anyone seem to be fine when they eat certain brands of rice, but then get problems with other brands? Sometimes I have rice and feel fine. But sometimes not. I realized I had been using different brands at different times. And what I seem to be seeing right now is if I use Minute Rice, I get bloat and some stomach pain. Their site says they make...

    I was hoping to find a soda that is not only gluten-free, but also corn free and soy free. One that uses actual sugar, not corn syrups. I have not checked the local health food store yet, but will at some point. I tend to drink water mostly anyway, and my daily coffee, but in the summer when it gets so hot I often like something once in a while like a soda...

    Has anyone had the gluten-free beers, and do they taste similar to beer considering it's made form different ingredients? Anyone have any brands to recommend that they think truly have a good beer flavor? Also, I saw someone mention once that Corona was gluten-free. Is that true?

    I would imagine it is not an easy situation. I know they can't make a new pill just like that, and most companies aren't going to care about a small percentage of people with ingredient issues like this. Although there actually is an apothecary in town who I heard does things like that, but I am guessing I could not afford that. That will be a last resort...

    I am really glad you found something to help your child. It is hard to see them not feeling well. For me, what helped keep me regular was taking a magnesium supplement, just 250 mgs a day at dinner time helps me. When I run out, if I didn't buy more yet, I feel the difference within a few days. I was wondering to try magnesium citrate, wasn't sure what...

    Has anyone had trouble with any prescriptions they take that you then found out had gluten in them, or corn or soy products (or any other ingredient) that bothers you? Just when I was working on lifting my mood up (after starting to feel overwhelmed with all this), I now am realizing I could be having problems with some prescriptions I have been taking...

    Thanks for info on the veggies and greens. I'll stick with the kale and spinach for now. Maybe romaine, but not sure what to put on it. I was wondering whether to have any vinegar right now, just because it seems like a very tangy, sour ingredient on the tummy. I might stop all spices and herbs to start, but if I use any, I'll just use what I am growing...

    That's a great idea to roast and cook chicken and veggies first before putting in soup to add flavor. Of course I am starting this planning now, as a heat wave is approaching this weekend, and I'll be making hot soup, lol! But whatever. I am making out a meal plan and shopping Wed or Thurs and then starting. Anyone know if canned olives (the black...

    Thanks for the info. I am trying to think if I saw Wink at the grocery store, I can't remember. I also saw something where you freeze those cans of coconut milk and then drain remaining liquid and someone added chocolate to it to make like a chocolate frozen treat. I am just not sure what chocolate to add since Hersey syrup is out. It looks like those...

    Thanks for the info, Ennis. I don't even know where to find dairy free alternatives yet, so will just not even think about that for now. So, no cheese. Good to know.
  15. LilyR
    If someone is doing an elimination diet and not having dairy for a while, would I still be able to eat some cheese since it is low in lactose? Or is best to give up any and all dairy during elimination trials? Oh,and for cheese, I think it was the Cabot website for hard cheeses that mentions almost all theirs is gluten free. But sounds like most cheeses...

    Thanks, Ennis. Do you know, is corn considered one of the top 8 allergens? I am not sure yet if dairy bothers me, but if it does not, I still need to look for corn starch or corn syrup in ice cream. Luckily, some Haagen Dazs seems to be corn-free. Thanks for the links.

    One thing, I noticed cabbage was okay on the FODMAP plans, and even broccoli. This seems so surprising since you hear so many people say that both of those give them gas and bloating. Do you think most veggies on the FODMAP plan would be okay during an elimination diet? Other than ones that are mentioned as no-go's on elimination diets like tomatoes, bananas...

    Thank you Ennis and Kareng. I think I was starting to get too upset over all this. Thanks for putting up with my whining and complaints, and thank you both for offering help and suggestions. Your last two posts helped me sort of chill out and I feel I can take this one step at a time now. Things have been busy, and I have not felt well for so long, and...

    I have no idea if I have histamine issues. This is confusing me even more. I looked up a few elimination diets and find some that say you can eat one food, but another diet will say you can't eat that food. I have no idea what to eat. And the histamine thing mentions eating fresh chicken, fresh meat, etc. yet pretty much all the chicken I buy at the store...

    Oh, and Chrissy B, I used to retain a lot of water too, and in my ankles. And going gluten-free, mine got better too. Although now on a beta blocker, I notice I am retaining some water more again. Not as bad though as when I was eating gluten, and not as constant. It's weird what gluten can do. One dr said it could have been causing a lot of my aches...
  21. LilyR
    Thanks for the suggestions. This might be harder than I thought. I was hoping to do rice and potatoes. I was eating those when I started to feel better for a while, and thought they were okay. I eat eggs too. I am getting to the point where I don't know what to eat. Chicken and some veggies, but what else? I was going to try and eat veggies and a little...

    Hi everyone. I don't have celiac (tested low positive, then they did more bloodwork and said I instead have a gluten sensitivity). Last summer I found out and I started going gluten-free. It took about two months and then I did start to feel better. But then things seem to get iffy, sometimes a little better, sometimes not. And now I've had a few months...
  23. LilyR
    You have a good point there. Ennis just seems to be very sensitive so I was thinking maybe there was indeed something to that article I read saying soy lecithin tends to not bother a lot of people. But we all are different. I don't have celiac, but am gluten sensitive. All of a sudden I started getting long term fever, stomach pain, stomach distention...

    UC sounds very limiting in diet. I don't dare drink right now. I never used to drink much, but when you feel you can't, it sure is a bummer. I miss being able to take a sip of my husband's cold beer, now no more beer at all with gluten issues. I do like rum so if I can start to have a drink here or there, at least there is that. I used to like sour mixes...

    That yeast stuff sounds intriguing to try cooking with, and all the additional health benefits it seems to have. Would you have that every day, or a few times a week?
