    If you are living with pain please give up dairy - who really needs it anyway???? also, other foods that you might not be able to tolerate. I have also been checking into the lectin and think everyone should check it out. I have been "allergic" for many years to a lot of the lectin foods, including white potatoes which gives me major pains in the heart...

    Judy, I feel for you making all these changes all the while not at the best yourself. I also think you should be tested for celiac. I like Enterolab.com because they test for the gluten intolerant gene DQ1, which I think is really awful to have - i have two of them, a grandson has two, & a granddaugher and my sister now have their tests at enterolab...

    welcome to the crazy bunch I highly recommend a local support group, there is invaluable current information there... Our group in Houston is awesome, but I have heard of some smaller groups that uh, might be a little radical even for me, if that is believable

    Are you eating a lot of gluten-free breads and crackers, cookies and cakes?

    Laurie, yes I agree it is funny how people change their minds. I had to learn the hard way myself... I can imagine how these new people must feel, still in shock that wheat could make them sick, then they learn that a microscopic crumb is just as bad as a slice of bread & then there is the wheat flour floating around in the air!!! But about the...

    Kody, if you are smart you will not walk back into that pizza place. Better to starve than to slowly kill your self. Forget about MS most MS is really misdiagnosed celiac. there are only a couple of experts in the U.S. that can tell the difference between celiac lesions in the brain and MS lesions. let me recap: 1. DO NOT go near the pizza place -...

    Hormel makes an all natural lunch meat that say gluten free on the package - a brownish paper package. Mission Brand White Corn tortillas, I never react to them. I am in Texas, not sure where you are... Lundberg Rice Chips have no cross contamination - they only do rice. I also buy their rice cakes and their rice blends. I use the rice chips like...

    Did you open a new bag of potato chips or has someone stuck their wheaty hands in it? If so, then you got cross contaminated!!! Also, had anyone dipped a wheat cracker in the dip?

    If maltodextrin is in food that was made in the the United States it is okay, made out of corn or something - not sure, if it is in Medicine, you need to check the source, it might be okay or it might not be okay. If Maltodextrin is in food that is not manufactured in the United States it is probably not safe. I would not chance it but if it is something...

    It could be the dairy in the chocolate, and yes, some people do react to chocolate, also it could be the cross contamination from the bars themselves or the wrappers - did someone with wheaty hands give it to him & then he touches the wrapper & then the candy bar? Ws the candy bowl sitting out on the counter when someone was making a cake or something...

    Thank You for posting this, now that is what I call a real friend. I read your allergy list, I used to have a list about like that, mine is almost all gone except for a few, so hang in there, I think it will get better for you.

    eggs sometimes make me nauceous also some of the gluten free flours do the same thing, if you are eating any gluten free crackers, breads that is probably your problem... try Lundberg Rice Chips and Rice cakes

    Try some 100% Welch’s grape juice diluted with water over ice with some popcorn. Take a B12 everyday Grab a bag of fritos when about on campus Snickers bar when you need the chocolate or a regular size hershey’s bar or a butterfinger, Candy is easy  On average you have to taste something 16 times before you like it. Your taste and food cravi...

    I offer my appreciation for someone cooking two meals, that is so hard to do. Most of us that are celaic just feed our food to eveyone. At the office I had a chocolate cake & I told the guys that I was not sure they would want any that it was gluten free. they said "it is chocolate cake, what is not to like!!" I had to hide the last piece for myself...

    Breakfast for me is usually fruit & nuts & maybe PB & homemade jelly (no corn syrup) on Lundberg rice chips. snacks: V8 juice, 100% grape juice-diluted, nuts, fruit, dried fruit for on the go, fritos - for when I feel like a treat Lunch: at the moment I am into kale & broccoli, so I usually have a salad with; chopped kale, grated carrot...

    icanary, whether you think you need to attend as a networking social is a decision that only you would know. I think there would be a lot of variables, such as how necessary you think it is, if you want to socialize, if you think it would help your job position, or if you just do whatever it is you want to do & move on, whether it is distancing yourself...

    I just made a pumpkin pudding (same thing as a pie except no crust) & used coconut milk in place of the canned milk - it was delicious & set up perfectly. I got the recipe from the "Super foods" book by Steven Pratt M.D. & Kathy Matthews. But any pumpkin pie recipe should work... I have a completely gluten-free house & no wheat things...

    If you are converting a wheat recipe you should up the amount of baking powder or baking soda, from 1/2 to double the amount called for in the recipe. cookies are easy, have you checked out the recipe thread? Do you have a gluten free cookbook? Also, banana bread is very easy to convert to gluten-free, it is almost fool proof. Good Luck

    well, they are never going to get it, so you have to pick where you want to be considering that information. If you do not have the personality & confidence to take your own food, (BTW be sure to leave a tip at your place when you take your own food) and it also depends on the personalities of the women that you work with. (oops, I wonder why I did...
  23. daffadilly
    Yes, that was no friend, I think that you should have had a little melt down & started crying & going on how miserable your life is now that you cannot eat anything, & how awful it is when people do that to you... When a person does something mean like that they deserve to get the full brunt of their destructive behavior. Does she in her arrogant...

    well you do not have to worry about it for it to make you sick. Those of you that are not super sensitive will probably not understand or believe it . It is only those of us that can walk past a bakery & get sick on the fumes, that really get it. & believe me it is really an awful way to be. It is about like the peanut allergy, some react worse...
  25. daffadilly
    Noel, I see that you have come to the realization that there is something else that might be making you sick. I will just put in my two cents which is the same thing that I always say. Give up dairy & for a time quit eating any grains, yes all those gluten-free breads & crackers etc. I recommend the book "Superfoods" by Steven Pratt, M.D...
