    I used to get a very severe pain in my left abdomen. It did not lessen with going gluten-free initially. So I kept trying things, and now it seems to have gone away. I went on grain free diet, quit potatoes, quit legumes. Was already dairy free. Some possibilities????: yeast problems in your intestines inability to digest any grains inability...

    Agree with all. Lots of folks seem to have trouble with tapioca, if that is the base of your bread. Have you always eaten peanut butter? Sherri

    I agree with everyone else; you should probably see the doc, esp. if you have insurance. That said, my period changed when I went gluten-free -- sometimes it is so light it is ridiculous; other months it is normal. I thought at first it was normalizing (with the normalizing of hormones), but it seems just as wacky as ever. Extra periods, though, can...

    I really hear what you're saying about food and drink being a social bonder in our culture. I do not drink, and I find it often is a barrier for my inclusion in social events. People try to include me, but after a while and so many drinks, it's hard to relate with folks, and I represent to them a healthier way that on some levels, they likely feel guilty...

    Out of curiosity, have you tried goat milk?

    I was told by my Japanese restaurant server that the vinegar they put in the rice had gluten in it, at least at her restaurant. Japanese food is actually really hard. I did the same thing - made a lunch date at Japanese thinking it would be perfect; then ended up with nothing to eat. Good luck.

    Hi. I've been bloated since I was about 2. It is finally better these days, but took a while...AND did get worse temporarily when i quit gluten. Here are some of my suggestions: to relieve it a bit: stick your butt in the air - either on an exercise ball by just laying on it and aiming your butt as high as you can, or by laying on the floor with...

    Hi. I'm in college - am 38, so a bit on the old end of things for college - but I NEVER eat on campus. Well, on Wednesdays they have baked potatoes or baked sweet potatoes, and sometimes I have that. But otherwise, I take food. I take: trail mix (homemade) bacon in a zip lock bag (a current problem of mine: bacon addiction) Tupperware dishes of...

    Oh yeah, as to touching your daughter's bread -- I'd definitely wash my hands before eating my own food. YOu certainly could be digesting gluten in that way. You can't absorb it through your fingers, so washing your hands should suffice. Make sure you wash your hands with gluten-free soap - and check out your dishsoap for having gluten.

    As to Cross Contamination (cc) -- I've found that bread products in my kitchen are a bit tricky, because of the crumbs. I decided to go gluten-free in the household, except for beer, which is easy to keep track of, and pizza from the parlor. With the pizza - after they eat it, they scrub their dishes in our laundry room sink, and then put them in the dishwasher...

    You're so lucky to be close to Portland. You'll have to try out the gluten-free fish and chips -- soo good...most folks don't even know they're gluten free. Portland is the perfect Celiac City. I live in Bellingham, WA - about an hour south of Vancouver BC, and 1.5 hours north of Seattle. Welcome.

    I was just trying to find out more about fat and constipation. Cooked fat does seem to trigger IBS symptoms in lots of folks. But most interesting is a new study to come out showing that over 50% of IBS sufferers in the study tested positive for fructose intolerance. Thought I'd pass it on. One Internet page talked about two different kinds of constipation...

    When I quit gluten, my constipation got worse for a spell. After about three months, it got better. However, there are other things that are affecting me with constipation -- definitely dairy - one tiny teaspoon on toast will constipate me for days, possibly corn, possibly nightshades. So, I think everyone is going to be different; but for me it got...

    My mom taught me this when I was small...I've had bloating issues since I can remember. Another alternative is to get on the excercise ball with your hands on the floor, and your butt in the air. Woooooeeeeeeee.
  15. BRUMI1968
    If it's hard and it hurts when you push on it, it's probably bloat. If it doesn't make a good pillow - bloat. It you CANNOT stuff it into your pants - bloat. If you pass gass and think to yourself, "perfect, now just a hundred more", you've got bloat. I've had it my whole life, and only recently have gotten it under control. Stick with the diet; watch...

    I wonder why you're on a "low fat" diet. I know some folks have difficulties with fat. However ... Pooping requires three things: water, fiber, "grease". A very low fat diet might not be offering enough grease to the system. So if you don't have some health reason for being on low fat - you might add some healthy fats. RAW olive oil, avocados, walnuts...

    Thanks all. I bought some tee tree oil today and play to swish with it. Otherwise, I'm keeping it stable with eating alkaline, swishing with salt water, and ZERO sugar. Hopefully the tee tree oil will help. What a disgusting horrible thing this is. Oh well, at least my cough is gone. I just want my immune system to get back on track after a few...

    Emmett (see avatar) gets mostly raw meat diet. He is into lamb right now. He does not eat grains at all (so that makes it easy to avoid gluten). The raw food diet for the most part has been really good for him...but I'm sure all dogs are different. As to the idea that human food is bad for dogs ... I think if the human food is bad for the humans,...

    Hi all! I was recently on antibiotics for a persistent cough/throat issue (it did help, so at least there's that). However, I've been off it for two or three days, and for about four days, I've had a bizarre tongue. It is not white spotted, like the thrush on the Internet shows. But it is kindof yellowy and utterly disgusting. It feels fat and fuzzy...

    I've also been told that sushi rice is made with vinegar, which may or may not be gluten free. My gal looked up the vinegar and found that it contained gluten, so I was told sushi is out. Depressing? Yes. However, we could make it at home I suppose. -Sherri

    Can I ask about the sinus wash real quickly? My mucus (nose) right now is super thick - to the point where it is difficult to blow out, sounds real bubbly and the like. The ONE time I tried my nasal wash thing (the one that's like a syring - nasaline maybe), it reminded me of snorkling and I freaked out. That was w/o a cold. Will the super thick snot...

    are you willing to explain your avatar?

    You don't live in Washington state do you? There is a horrible bug going around here. Right away, start gargling with salt water. Honey is good for sore throats - in hot water or herbal tea or something. If you can't eat that, try Agave nectar. I doubt it has the same antibacterial properties, but it does coat similarly. Don't talk too much...

    You're in WA too? I've heard a lot of folks have this bug. I am on antibiotics now, so hopefully it will get better. They don't do squat for the common cold, though, so I hope it's gone bacterial. I hate taking meds for no reason. I think it's all the bloody rain this winter that has got folks sick. Anyway, take care. Thanks for the info.

    I quit dairy a couple years ago. It was hard, especially since everyone talks about cheese like it is the be-all-end-all, and can't understand why you're so nuts as to not eat it. A few things to keep in mind. You'll miss creamy. The whole essence of creamy will be missing. This can be lessened by eating sweet potato or squash or potato with olive...
