    uummmmm.....just what is a chat room....?

    Would you consider consuming probiotics now and then? It seems like your gut flora might be really screwed up, and if you could re-establish the correct bacteria it might help things even out.

    It's common. Your body has finally realized that you've come to your senses and stopped feeding it poison and by gum it's gonna get what it needs.

    I see this as the equivalent of your doctor saying "I want to wait until you are really really sick before I decide to suggest you do something to make yourself feel better." If you don't think you could stick to the diet without a doctor's note, then yes, keep eating gluten, and keep getting tested until you get a positive result. If you think the diet...

    :o The chicken instructions tell you to minimize corn since it isn't very good for them.

    food allergy testing is very inaccurate. If you think about it, food goes into your stomach, not onto your skin, so it's really unclear what the results actually mean.

    If the control barely reacted, then the rest of the results may not be accurate.

    .......this is not a relationship I would be willing to stay in without some serious change. My life is too short to be treated that way by anyone....

    Somebody puts the proteins you react to in direct contact with your blood supply and you wonder if they could have glutened you......? uh.....yes....

    I'm relatively grain free. I have some leftover rice products that I'm trying to space out, and I'm not sure I'll ever be able to totally give up chips and margaritas, but I've cut way back on them. When I eat no grains I can sleep all the way through the night (for the first time in my life, that I can remember). It's pretty awesome.

    Do YOU care if you have a positive test result? Because if YOU don't care, there's no reason to do the tests. You feel better not eating gluten, and they can test for anything else regardless of what you eat.

    Glad to know we aren't so scary after all

    :lol: We're owned by a couple of pansies. Bo raced up on the deck and pounded on the door for me to let him in.

    I just watched my ~14 pound cat run in terror from a ~6 pound chicken.

    Since there is no medically defined test for gluten intolerance, there is no answer to this question. Medicine (mainly) recognizes intestinal damage from gluten, because they can test for it. Many many people on this forum will tell you of the myriad changes that occurred when they stopped eating gluten. Were they being damaged? Since there are no tests...

    Did you make the dough in a mixer that you've previously used for gluten things? Parchment paper on the baking sheet? A crumb on the counter got on the spoon? There are lots of things to think about, not just the ingredients....

    Can't you market yourself as an allergy-aware tour director? If it's hellish for you who knows how to travel, think how daunting it is for someone newly gluten-free who's never stepped outside their state.

    Double check before you go. I rarely go to WLC and only vaguely remember seeing it there....but I think so...
  22. Jestgar
    It is entirely up to you. Your diet is your business.

    :lol: Yea! to all of you!

    ARCHIVED Overwhelmed.

    Jestgar replied to MEH's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I've traveled through Italy, Eastern Europe, and Spain. Bread is just a convenient holder for all the really tasty stuff, so just go for the tasty stuff. Cheese is fabulous anywhere, rice holds sauces as well as pasta, chocolate is better without distracting fillers. Italy, Prague, Slovenia, all have gluten-free food. Even in Hungary and Croatia I had...

    I was starving for several months. I decided that my body finally realized I wasn't poisoning it and started begging for all the nutrition that it was missing.
