I have two really great apps that have helped me a lot in this whole journey. Is it okay for me to recommend them here? I have no affiliation with either of them.

If they aren't your company - recommend away!   :)

Okey dokey...

 

The first one is called Food Allergy Detective. It was a literal godsend when my intolerance problems first started. Basically what it does is that at each meal, you check off what you are eating from a customizable list of food items. Then whenever you experience symptoms, you also check those off (from a list that is also customizable). When you've entered enough data, the app is able to correlate reactions you are having with things that you've eaten, and alert you to things you may be sensitive to. It works very, very well, and is very easy to use. It can catch reactions that happen within 24 hours, so it helps with things that might not surface immediately after eating. For example, it might note that 6 hours after eating tomatoes, you always get a headache.

 

The second app is called Rise. It is a subscription-based app (I think it costs right around $40 a month), that allows you to get feedback on your eating from a registered dietician. When you subscribe, you are given profiles of several different dietitians to choose from. At each meal, you use the app to take a picture of what you're eating (you can enter text, as well). Your dietician gives you feedback at least once a day (mine gives me feedback several times a day). I think that $40 a month for a registered dietician to give me daily feedback is an amazing value! The dietician I have been working with FAR exceeds my expectations. She is incredibly caring and helpful, she is very well qualified, and is helping me eat much more healthfully (which is not easy given that I have over 20 moderate to severe food intolerances in addition to celiac). I'm extremely impressed with her and with this app! If anyone is interested in her name, pm me and I'll let you know which dietician I use.

 

Hope this is helpful to someone...

Well...that leaves me out!  I always want to take a pic of my food to post but forget until I have eaten it!

:-) Sometimes I forget, too, but you can always just type in what you've eaten.

My dietician was out of town for the long holiday weekend recently, and another Rise dietician helped me while she was gone. She was also very good. If the two of them are any indication, this is a very good service.

      REESE'S PLANT BASED PEANUTBUTTER CUPS

      By R. M. LOMBARDO · Posted

      Reese's Plant Based PeanutButter Cups are made with non-Gluten Free Oats and only states on the package Dairy Free.  Is it safe for Celiacs or those with Gluten Intolerance issues to consume?  I think Mars is taking a small step in the right direction concerning food allergies and wish they were Gluten Free.

      Abscesses on legs

      By Liquid lunch · Posted

      I had these for years, covered in scars from them. Not had any since I started taking reishi and cordyceps tincture, they’re immune modulators, I think that’s how they work. Most of my other symptoms have also disappeared, I take a treble dose if I get glutened and it’s almost an instant fix, 3 days of mild symptoms instead of 3 weeks of horrible. Might be worth a try, don’t be put off by the caterpillars, I think they’ve found a different way of growing them now.

      Abscesses on legs

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @LookingForAnswers101, I had similar experiences with boil outbreaks in the same areas.  Mine was caused by Candida Albicans and eating a diet too high in sugar and simple carbohydrates.   Candida is a yeast infection, so the antibacterial wash is not going to help.  I had to change my diet to a Paleo diet before it went away.  If I consume high levels of sugar or other simple carbohydrates (rice, corn, dairy, etc.), boils would occur at pressure points like the groin and back of the legs.  Your doctor might be able to prescribe an antifungal medication, but some of those antifungal medications destroy thiamine.  Thiamine is needed to keep fungal and bacterial infections in check.  I took Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine, but TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) will work, too.   Thiamine, and the other B vitamins, especially Niacin and Biotin, along with Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and Vitamin D will help keep skin healthy.  Be sure to address these nutritional deficiencies that occur with Celiac! Ask your doctor to rule out autoimmune hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) and Human Papilloma virus, too.   Hang in there!  You'll get over this rocky patch of the journey!  Best wishes! P. S.  Get checked for Type Two Diabetes as well.  Candida, type two diabetes and a high carbohydrate diet often go together.  A Paleo diet really helps me with my Type Two Diabetes and Candida overgrowth.

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      As I mentioned, gluten intolerance encompasses more than just those with celiac disease, and in the past was used more like the term "gluten sensitivity" is used today.
