    So the level 12 for the casein test indicates casein intolerance (because it is above 10). For all intensive purposes, can I just think of casein in the same way as gluten, in that it's very damaging to my system and is likely giving me the same symptoms? Do I remember reading somewhere that dark chocolate is casein free? That'd be great. What does the...

    Yeah...that was my first impression. "Wow. It's not THAT bad! I think..." I am going to continue with the gluten-free diet and start a cleansing diet via the MediClear supplement in the next week or two. This ends up being an elimination diet of sorts, as well. I am still having a lot of trouble with my stomach and brain fog and exhaustion and...

    Thank you, Carla! what does that mean when you say I'm having an autoimmune reaction?

    Really? No one? C'mon, I really need it dumbed down!

    I have seen so many posts go by in the past few months with people's lab results. And now it's finally my turn! Help me interpret this in an incredibly easy-to-understand way, please... Fecal Antigliadin IgA 20 (Normal Range <10 Units) Fecal Antitissue Transglutaminase IgA 12 Units (Normal Range <10 Units) Quantitative Microscopic...

    I definately thought that maybe I had just been taking so much Excedrin, that when I didn't take it I was having caffeine withdrawals. But I write down everything - what I eat, how I feel, and what time I take any meds. And there doesn't seem to be any direct correlation between my headaches and anything. Sometimes I go 3 days without taking any Excedrin...

    Kirian, Please keep us updated and what you hear back from the company. I take Excedrin migraine like candy, as I have horrible and nearly constant headaches. They've improved since going gluten-free, but they are by no means gone. In fact, improvement just means I don't have one 22 hours a day. Although, I might be at least a tiny bit happy if I found...

    Thanks! I wouldn't be suprised if I just read it wrong. I had the kind of day where I started out being late for class and then hit every red light on the way there. That's REALLY good to know, though, because that was the brand I always used when I cooked before going gluten-free. One less thing to replace... -courtney

    Turtle and I are confused! I googled Swanson chicken broths today and found several results saying that they are NOT gluten-free except for the organic type. She swears she just saw them on the new Delphi list. We thought we'd ask the experts...Anyone know for sure? Thanks -Courtney

    That's really interesting. I never would've thought of that... Thanks - Courtney

    I second the vote for Glutino. They remind me a Ritz only more crumbly. It was really neat though - like I was eating real crackers again!

    I have a sneaking suspicion that it is another food intolerance. And I'm not very happy about it. As the most common would be dairy. And I am desperately in love with dairy. I will be getting my Enterolab results in the next few weeks, and they did the dairy test for free. I didn't test for soy or yeast because I felt like it was too much money. Now I wish...

    gpf - can you elaborate on this whole vitamin thing? -Courtney Dawn, I have been hypo for 13 years and I KNOW something isn't right. I have for a long time. But my tests always come back normal. Argh!!!! I am thinking that I am on the very LOW end of normal, but this whole T3 thing could make sense, too. Is your T3 supplement specifically...

    I have seen gluten-free bleu cheese dressing in a specialty store. Unfortunately, I have no idea what brand it was, but I do know that it was specifically labeled as gluten-free. That's good because it means it's out there. Somewhere. Google? -Courtney

    That Taco Soup is good - I made it a few weeks ago Tonite I made potato leek soup: 1 1/2 - 2 cups chicken stock 1 onion 2 leeks 6-7 potatoes diced (I like Yukon Gold) 1 cup milk half & half dill bay leaf sour cream Sautee onion in olive oil until soft. Add chicken stock, leek, bay leaf and diced potatoes and simmer until potatoes are...

    I tell them that it's similar to having the stomach flu. I've never had to carry the conversation any further than that. -Courtney

    Kathy Ann, I could not have said this any better. It's very difficult to stick to something when you see minimal improvements. If you were on a weight loss diet, would you stick with it even though you'd only lost two pounds after six months? No! That'd be silly. I've seen my reactions to accidental glutenings, and that's the proof to me. But I'm at...

    Is this what you're looking for? Open Original Shared Link Scroll down to gluten-free product list and choose either the pdf or text formats. -Courtney

    So I was reading somewhere on here the other day that it can take something like 3-6 weeks after a glutening for your body to heal. (Please correct me if I'm wrong because I really can't remember. gfp, I have a feeling it was in one of your posts, too...) This includes even just a small amount ingested from CC. I have been gluten-free for about 2 1/2 months...

    I have this problem - I'm in college and I'm a bartender. So most of my life revolves around socializing -eating and drinking. I've done a lot of research on what is ok to drink, and as for eating...well I've eaten out like twice in the last few months. And gotten sick one of the two times. I just explain to the people who I think will actually listen...

    I second CheriA - that was my childhood casserole. Cream of mushroom soup, browned ground beef, frozen veggie mix (corn, greenbeans, carrots and peas) and tater tots on top. I made it the other nite and I browned up some hashbrowns for the top instead because I wasn't sure if the OreIda tatertots were gluten-free. The progresso is a little bit thinner than...

    Gail - It is my understanding that the regular flavored Doritos are not gluten-free. In fact, they clearly list WHEAT on the back of the package. However, I think that almost every other flavor of Doritos is okay, though. Weird, huh? Further up in this thread somebody posted 'the chip list' and it says on there. And the other day I was in a gas station...

    Not only do I get all depressed, but I get really clutzy and uncoordinated, too. Then I feel depressed that I'm so clutzy!

    I was just poking around google trying to figure out what did me in last nite (I think it was the Sambuca) and I found that Bailey's actually has information on their website! Q 4. I am allergic to Gluten/Egg/Lactose/Nuts. Does Baileys contain Gluten/Egg/Lactose/Nuts A. Gluten: Please be advised that the whiskey used in Baileys is manufactured by fermenting...
