    I'm just curious - is this the same guy that told you it was okay to give your child food that made him throw up and writhe on the floor in pain......?

    You'll need to clarify this. Do people with a certain genetic makeup produce higher levels of zonulin, or is this a non-genetically related response to eating something we can't digest? You'll need to find some research on people that have the (currently known) genetic markers for Celiac and see if anyone has looked at zonulin levels in these people that...

    Maybe you're also allergic to barley as well as being intolerant to gluten.

    What she said. I can't eat any milk products for dinner or later without feeling some effects. It seems to be less dramatic if I have some cheese for lunch or sprinkled on my veggies for breakfast.

    Apparently the rash isn't your only symptom. If your digestive tract isn't functioning properly and you aren't absorbing nutrients your going to start feeling the effects of malnutrition which can include permanent nerve and heart damage.

    Sonja, I'm so sorry that it's so frustrating for you. I hope you are doing okay with the separation - I know how stressful that is. Hang in there. Jeanna

    Some people have a lot of congestion as a symptom.

    larry, I just wanted to add that I'm so glad you finally added the ..cle to your signature. That drove me up the wall everytime I saw it

    Floating is usually because there is gas in your stool caused by bacterial digestion instead of your body digesting it. It can happen when you eat something that your small intestine can't digest and the bacteria in your colon have to do it.

    avenom An obsolete term meaning: to poison. I googled "latin poison" trying to come up with a word akin to suicide (which is latin for self killing) suivenomate seems cumbersome, but avenomate works for me.

    I'm sort of anti-drug in general and it seems to me that except for people that have a genetic predisposition to abnormally high cholesterol, no one should need to take these. I suspect that most people could control their cholesterol levels with diet and exercise. If you choose not to do these things, and prefer to take a drug, is it the statin that...

    I had this kind of reaction from eating beef. Maybe it's something completely unexpected like that.

    They last several weeks, so as long as you weren't gluten-free in the months up to the blood draw it should be ok.

    Happy birthday !!

    Hmm, guess I'm not surprised to hear that statins don't cure death. I'd be interested to see the sources from which this book quotes. Everything I've seen shows that statins reduced the risk of a major cardiac event in persons at high risk. Atorvastatin has been shown to reduce the risk up to 25%, which is huge for a drug.

    Oh wait - I forgot this was the grumpy thread. How about I cater the massive sit-in we'll organize at, say, Kellogg's to protest the indiscriminate use of barley malt.

    I plan to develop automatically expanding pants so those gluten mishaps don't necessitate a day of discomfort. Something that looks like a regular type of dressy slacks but has cleverly tucked in elastic that gently changes the size of the pleats without looking like you're wearing an elastic waistband.

    Maybe its what your melting it on. Some kind of combo response.

    Wow! Welcome to the board everyone! I don't know about the Crest, but I do know that eventually you get comfortable with what foods you can eat without question. M'n'Ms are gluten free, at least in the US. As for eating out with friends, I'm much more comfortable with it now, but at first I would make sure I had a snack before I went so I could be...

    I also wanted to add that for the first 4-5 months I pretty much lived on cheese and chocolate. At some point I just stopped wanting those things. Don't stress about not eating perfectly right now, listen to your body.
  23. Jestgar
    You might find that once you're healed you won't have as much of an issue with other things.

    Fruit on your cereal. More nuts during snack time. A little olive oil on you veggies. If you aren't dairy free, some full fat yogurt for a snack. Some black beans on your veggies.

    Hi Jyn, hang in there - it gets easier over time. Right now you still have to be aware and pay attention, but after a while more things become automatic and don't take as much energy. Try to adopt some family favorites to gluten-free so you don't feel the need to make two meals. My Mom (who raised 7 kids) used to have "catch as catch can" meal nights...
