I too have had bad dizzy spells and am having one now. I have been gluten free for sometime so I am not sure if there is a correlation. I actually am going to have an mri done the week after next just to make sure it is nothing else. Hopefully that will come back fine. Its just frustrating though.

NOt sure about the other items you mentioned but I could be wrong but I would stay away from the Lipton onion soup mix - for me I get a bad reaction bloating, gas ect ect. Abbie

Hi Julie, I am not totally convinced that it was the Alexia Fries- I had gone to Ohio to visit relatives and while there I think when I ate out at a restaurant I may have eaten something with gluten and you know how sometimes you don't get reactions for a long time...... So I am going to try to give the Yukon Gold Potatoes a try again and keep my fingers...

Really? Hmmm I wouldn't mind trying the coconut oil too but what do you use it on? Abbie

Thanks Rachel I didn't even know that potatoes (processed or prepared) have sulfites??!! that would explain a lot of the reactions that happen when I eat gluten free french fries too. I made dinner for my Dad last week and tried the -I think its the brand Alexia french fries that are gluten free and ended up with a mouth full of sores and some bloating.

Actually I wonder about the salt thing too- a couple of days ago I ate the Lays Natural Potatoe Chips and I had the sores and then last night I tried the Terra brand sweet potatoe chips with no salt and no blisters? so who knows. I do seem to get the blisters in connection wilth wine so there is deffinately something to be said about those sulfites. ...

Mine can show up a few days after I have eaten something with gluten. Sometimes they are like a whitish pimple or sometimes they are very clear - like a blister and those most like a blister go away the fastest. I always get them along the inside of my bottom lip or at the corners. Sometimes if I take a q-tip and dip it in peroxide and dab the sore in my...

Oh I agree and relate so much to what you have said. Maybe I am just not assertive enough or I hate making a spectacle of myself when I go somewhere to eat. I actually have been prolonging my visit to the salon because I know I am going to bring my gluten free shampoo and then I will get the "look" but in the end I know it doesn't matter its just that I am...

Well it could be a lot of things but clubbing of fingers is one sign of hyperthyroidism. Abbie

Hi Dan, Thanks for your response from the other thread on Parkinsons I have done some reading on MSG and wow you have me convinced. Then I came across another thread from this site that a member Rachael has talked a lot about her problems with MSG and she recommended the website MSGmyth which was helpful and I may order the book for recipes but what else...

Ya know interesting that my last period wasn't half as bad as usual (minimal cramps) and I am wondering if its because I cut out soda entirely for about two months now> Maybe its that MSG thing everyone is talking about?

Thank you Tiffany for responding - what you said makes sense - I guess there is no diffinitive answer for this one

I don't know if this will even get posted but for the women do your celiac symptoms get worse when you are close to your period and/or are in the midst of it? I can't take the BC pill it made me soo depressed and my hair was coming out by the handfuls Another question does anyone have an opinion on whether to use the all natural tampons that consist only...
