 Am I the only one out here who seems to get sick from eating it?

How do you know it's maltodextrin?  Are you able to find some to eat by itself?  I would think it would be hard to isolate from all the other ingredients in foods.  Even if it does bother you, that doesn't mean it contains gluten.  

I have a problem with aspartame similar to gluten symptoms but I know it doesn't contain gluten.  I figured it out because diet soda, candy, etc made with it bothers me but the regular versions or the ones made with other sweeteners are OK.  So basically - the same ingredients either with HFCS or aspartame - and the HFCS doesn't bother me!  

:huh:

      dermatitis herpetiformis outbreaks while on strict gluten-free diet

      By Richardo · Posted

      I never eat oats, haven't for years because of the possible cross contamination. I know the difference in my.body's reaction to the big 3 vs corn or rice. Vomiting was always  an issue if I wasn't careful.with wheat, rye or barley but rhe only issue I had with corn was the dermatitis herpetiformis.  I'm not a dermatologist but I know how certain foods affect me and I just hope my story can offer others an alternative hope to try that isn't dangerous to their health. As for me... I'm grain free LOL and loving the freedom from dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Royal Caribbean Only, Please

      By AuntieAutoimmune · Posted

      Hi, Everyone, My husband and I are contemplating an RCL cruise and would like to hear from anyone who has sailed on RCL. Please do not post information on other cruise lines. We are either going on Celebrity (which we've sailed many times and know is good—we don't need any information) or Royal Caribbean. So, RCL only, please, and only those who have already sailed. Thanks!

      Testing positive for antibodies, are there visible changes to the colon that could be seen without a biopsy?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.

      There are third party home test kits for celiac disease that do not involve needles. They use a cheek swab I believe. The cost is a little over $100 USD I believe for most of them.  A 7 week "gluten challenge" should be more than enough. The absolute minimum according to guidelines is 2 weeks but I would not cut it that close. I usually recommend four weeks but the more the better in so far as ensuring valid testing. "My daughter was told by her doctor to eliminate american grains due to the fortifying process." What's this about? Are you referring to the vitamins and minerals added to processed cereal grain products in the USA? Is this supposed to be harmful according to this doctor? What kind of doctor is this? MD? Naturopath? What is interesting is that when people go gluten free they often need to supplement with vitamins and minerals to compensate for the loss of vitamins and minerals they were getting in wheat products. Most gluten free facsimile flours are nutritionally bankrupt.  Yes, there is a significant statistical correlation between Hashimotos and celiac disease. Autoimmune disorders tend to cluster. Omeprazole and other PPI meds are concerning when used long term in that they raise gut PH (lower acidity) and inhibit the digestion and assimilation of nutrients. They are some of the most over prescribed and under monitored meds in all of pharmacology. I was on Omeprazole for years and weaned myself off it. It was a real fight because of rebound. I bridged with TUMS which is much better option when used for spot coverage. The interesting thing is, a lot of GERD is actually caused by hypoacidity rather than hyperacidity. If you have a lot of GERD you might want to look into MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome)/histamine intolerance which is another medical problem very common in the celiac community.
