    I knew I saw it somewhere: Open Original Shared Link

    To me, it makes logical sense that they would correspond. I mean, if you're not absorbing much in the way of nutrients, what's keeping your blood sugar going? I know since going gluten-free, my hypoglycemia is A LOT better. I haven't done any research on it, but I saw on a symptom list somewhere that hypoglycemia was listed.

    Personally, I would go gluten-free because I'm lazy, and wouldn't want to keep up with both gluten-free/non gluten-free things in the house all of the time. It will probably make it easier for your kids to grow up in a gluten-free home and have parents to look up to when eating out or otherwise being gluten-free outside of the house. That way, when...

    Lots and lots of water! Cold water works better than hot, and lemon juice added helps even more. Try not to eat anything salty or fatty, either. Broccoli, cabbage, and other high fiber veggies may make bloating worse. Hope that helps

    Bentyl is awesome! Also, if you are throwing up and have abdominal pain that's really bad, and you can get a prescription, phenergan works well. Um, it's kind of gross to take, because it's not oral Knocks you flat on your butt, but at least it doesn't hurt as bad I find that laying on my back on a triangular stack of pillows helps, so does...

    My family is full of old indian folk remedies, that we still use to this day, my grandfather swears by sorghum molasses as a cure all for everything, and if you can find it near you (it's hard to find outside of the south) you might want to give her some of that. It's also way yummier than blackstrap! Here's an article about it: Open Original...

    Glad you have a supportive friend! When I started and was depressed, I told my best friend and she said, "my cousin has celiac and I always loved going to her house because the gluten free rice crispy treats were so good. this could be the best thing that ever happened to you!" I nearly cried because I hadn't thought about it that way Surround...

    I've had a decreased appetite since going gluten free, but I think part of that is because my hypoglycemia has gotten a lot better, so I get tummy rumbles like a normal person instead of full body rumbles and dizzyness and nausea when I'm hungry. I also find that my appetite goes up and down along with my cycle, in the middle of the month I don't eat...

    Amen to that! I heart Sam's club for buying it in bulk. I've read in a few places that it is safe, and for the record, the chewable immodium advanced is safe and works like a charm!

    As anyone who has taken a foreign language class can tell you, bablefish.altavista.com or www.freetranslation.com are invaluable. I know babelfish has an option for translating pages, so does google. I've used it for french, spanish, and greek classes (ok, so I was to lazy to do the homework ) I'm sure it will help in your research...

    Couldn't this be seen as discrimination, somewhere?

    Blech I think I want my protein a bit more sterile... And I want it fresh to order Excuse me.....while I join the hurling party

    I don't know how I'd handle that, probably something along the lines of, "yeah, hopefully that bowel cancer I get from eating that roll will pass as well." Actually, now that I think about it, I probably wouldn't say that, but I'd explain in a more informative, yet condescending manner the same sentiment. I actually HAVE hypoglycemia, fad or not. There...

    Thanks everybody, I found out that the Immodium advanced chewables are gluten-free...Yay And they worked! I'm still feeling loopy and slightly crampy, but way, way better. I think eating PB cookies make me feel better...sugar high, anyway I guess I have to buy some different chips, eh (I do think it was the chips, it seemed...

    I'm new at this too, but here's what I've been eating today: (oh, and I don't seem to have a dairy problem) Breakfast: Van's gluten-free Waffles w/pure maple syrup & milk Took to work: Potato chips (either these or the waffles glutened me, but only mildly _) Tuna salad (tuna, mayo, sweet relish) 2 ricecakes (to make open faced...

    I really don't like chocolate, and yet, since I started gluten-free two weeks ago, I'm eating tons of it! (Actually, its only been like, a tub of kozy shack pudding, 2 little bags of m&m's and a 3 musketeers bar, but that is usually the amount of chocolate I eat in a year.) I'm really hypoglycemic, so I'm generally afraid of anything but a...

    Honey Rice Puffins from Barbara's Bakery are awesome! They almost have a cherry flavor to them and the texture is a lot like captain crunch. Some people react to them, though I haven't had a problem. You have an excuse now to treat yourself to a nice cheesy omlette and hash browns

    If you live near a university with a food science department, you might be able to find a professor, or even a grad student, that might do it for you.

    I should have mentioned I had the waffles a good 3 hours before getting sick, who knows? The Kettle brand website says they don't reccomend their chips for gluten-free people because of shared equipment. But van's says there's a possibilty of CC...I dunno

    Why not make your own? In the Betty Crocker Big Red cookbook, there is a caramels recipe there that calls for only 4 ingredients - sugar, corn syrup, butter, and cream And oh my god are they good! And easy!

    OK, I'm pretty convinced. I ate Kettle Brand chips (black pepper variety) and not ten minutes later my stomach was ouchy and upset and I was running for the bathroom. Twice. At work. And I can't even focus on spelling my name I thought I had read those to be gluten-free somewhere, I guess not. The only other thing I had to...

    Ok, I can get used to not eating normal bread... I can get used to getting a PhD in label reading... I can get used to having to mix three-hundred flours to make anything... I cannot get used to spending $6 on "bread" crumbs! They better be good! Sheesh, this gluten-free stuff is expensive! I'm still having trouble with paying $5 minimum...
