    Thank you for the links to the articles. Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

    Great article. When I first saw these, I thought oh great another gluten product.

    Very interesting. If it proves to be accurate, could explain why people with celiac that follow gluten free diet still have symptoms.

    Thank you for this article. I am grain free also so it's hard to find grain free processed foods. They're available. Mostly cookies and crackers etc. After reading this I'm ending my nightly cookies. Once in awhile only.

    You might try Heallix. It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball. It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again, not in your eyes or ears. Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also, I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out...

    Hi. So sorry to hear about your shingles. There is a lidocaine cream that you can get at Walmart that will help numb the pain. That's what I used for mine. It can't be put near your eyes or in your ears. I hope your doctor gave you valacyclovir which is an antiviral. It does lessen the symptoms. If it is in your eyes, see an ophthalmologist. They have...

    I almost always take my own food when I go to someone's home. No one seems to mind. If I go to a restaurant, I usually eat salad and maybe a steak if I know the place. I always bring my own dressing. My friends and family do not mind. They know how sick I get. If there's not anything I can eat, I just wait until I get home. I know I'm not going to...

    When I first stopped gluten, I went thru severe withdrawals. I felt way worse than when I ate gluten. Luckily, I had a good doctor that kept reassuring me that it would get better. It took about 4 months, but one day I woke up and felt no joint pain and I felt good. Unfortunately, I still had the brain fog. When I gave up all grains, I really turned...

    Hi, you don't say whether your husband is gluten free and follows a strict diet. If he doesn't, you may be getting contaminated from him. Even a small amount can hurt you. Any ingestion will affect you. If he drinks beer and you kiss him, you could be ingesting gluten that way. If there's crumbs on the counter, and your food touches them you're getting...

    A lot of problems can be traced to grains. Once I went totally grain free, brain fog disappeared, confusion resolved etc. Not all related to gluten. No rice, corn, rice syrup , corn syrup. Basically a paleo lifestyle. Pretty much all neurological symptoms resolved. Not instantly, of course, but within a month to month and a half. I really thought...

    Hi, so sorry to hear of your problems. Is it possible to get a blood test where you are to test for celiac? Not invasive. Anyway, I literally felt awful when I stopped gluten. Basically your body is going through withdrawals similar to alcohol. It took a month before I felt better. I was eating gluten free, but packaged foods. About 4 months...

    The first thing I would do is check all medications for gluten contamination. I am a pharmacist, so I don't say this lightly. Costco vitamins may not be free of gluten. The main thing that might help is to stop all grains. Read Wheat Belly Diet. This is a book written by a cardiologist. Very interesting. Before quitting grains I was on zantac, e.t...

    I also have separate areas for food preparation. I have no support from my husband. Any jars I use are labeled in black letters to not use. I usually wash anything he has washed again. He usually has some frozen dinner. I tried cooking gluten free for him, but he wouldn't eat it. I clean a lot. We also have separate cupboards and shelves in the fridge...

    This is very hard. If a label even says made on the same equipment as wheat, I put it back on the shelf. If it says may contain gluten don't even consider it. Follow the shopping model of shop the outer aisles of the grocery store. I am totally gluten/ grain free. It really improved my health. I wasn't eating gluten, but the grains were just as bad...
