I've been eating McCann's as well. I looked at their website and it didn't make me nervous since they pretty much stick to oatmeal. Quaker makes EVERYTHING, so I don't even want to try their stuff. I usually eat the instant stuff, and I stopped eating some of the flavors just because I have no idea what those are. So far I've only noticed that I feel funny after those instant flavors but I've had oats in other places like Luna bars and I felt ok. I'm still new at figuring out what makes me feel bad though.

hey guys im doing much better now. ive felt a lot of withdrawal since coming of gluten. i went accupuncture for my 3rd time today. they say after the 5th i will feel and see the benefits.

did you know that grains at all may not even be good for us in the long term?

apparently only birds are capable of digesting grains. even rice may cause us bad digestion so im going to avoid even the non gluten gluten grains as much as possible.

when the immune system is stronger will it fight away any parasites or other things while eating lot's of parasite killing herbs like cumin caraway etc. oh by the way everytime i eat cinnamon i sneeze after a while. ive cut it out for two days now and guess what no more everyday sneezing. i ate cinnamon on a lot of things.

oh one more thing i found out that you can rid your body of worms by eating a piece of jaggery in the morning first thing then 5 minutes later eat a tea spoon of caraway seed and it should purge them out. just thought id share

Can those dark circles come from anything else besides food intolerances and allergies? I suggested the gluten-free thing to my friend last week because he's been out sick a lot in the last six months. He's always had major dark circles (worse than anyone I've ever seen) as long as I've known him. It turns out that his mother had to start a gluten-free diet this year! I probably got it right, but I'm curious if anything else can cause those circles.

I have had circles under my eyes my whole life. I'm not sure if I have Celiac yet, but I'm kind of hoping I do since I will know what is wrong with me. I don't know if I can take years of trying to find out what is wrong. My DS also has dark circles under his eyes, but you can't see them as much because his skin is a little darker than mine.

      Gluten Ataxia and Malabsorption

      By Soleihey · Posted

      I have been on supplementation for almost 11 months with no deficiencies showing up on blood work. So was just hoping to hear someone else’s story where it took longer to heal.

      Here’s the answer from the company 😊   Hi Emily,    Thank you for reaching out to us! We can confirm the Organic Protein + 50 Superfoods Powder is gluten free. The organic barley and wheatgrasses we use are harvested prior to jointing, before the grain forms and any gluten protein is present. Rest assured appropriate measures are taken to ensure our gluten free products comply with the FDA final rule to be labeled as gluten free, as claimed on the side-panel label. Our suppliers are required to verify each ingredient and in order to ensure that our gluten free products comply with the FDA requirements, our manufacturing facilities use the ELISA test method to confirm gluten levels are less than the standard limit of <20 ppm.    If you have allergy concerns about consuming the grasses, we recommend consulting further with your healthcare provider. I hope this information helps! Please let us know if you have other questions.

      Postponing seeking a diagnosis?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @kim-d! Recently revised guidelines or the "gluten challenge" recommends the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten for at least two weeks up until the day of the antibody test blood draw. 10g of gluten is the amount found in about 4-6 slices of wheat bread. IMO, I would wait until you have time to do it right so as to remove all doubt as to whether or not your gluten consumption was adequate for long enough to ensure valid testing. In the meantime, focus on removing gluten from your diet and see how your symptoms improve (or not) as one piece of the diagnostic puzzle.

      Postponing seeking a diagnosis?

      By kim-d · Posted

      Hello. I'm a 22 year old college student and I've had constant stomach problems since I was 14. Recently I noticed that my problems get worse when I eat more wheat. I tried to follow a gluten free diet, which didn't end up entirely gluten free, but I still had reduced my gluten consumption very much, and I felt a lot better. I also have fatigue, inability to gain any weight, iron deficiency, possible vitamin deficiencies, really bad memory and brain fog that increases by time, unexplainable muscle aches and tachycardia which all can possibly explained by celiac/NCGS.  I wasn't able to continue a completely gluten free diet as I am eating from my school and dorm's cafeteria and almost all food there have gluten so I was going very hungry. They do offer a gluten free menu with a report though. So I decided I should try getting a diagnosis if I can, especially after reading how it was much harder to do gluten challenge after quitting gluten for a while. I was able to get an appointment for next week, and started eating around 150gr of bread per day to be sure.  First 24 hours I didn't feel any worse so I was starting to doubt myself, but then bloating hit hard. It wasn't anything unbearable, but the problem is I have finals soon and I'm now realizing this is a really bad time to do this. I can't begin studying from pain distracting me. I'm thinking of cancelling the appointment and eat low gluten until exams are over.  I worry about one thing. Before I went low gluten, I was eating a lot of bread already for over a month, which is what clued me into gluten, and I only went low gluten for around 10 days before going high gluten again. I wasn't that worried about a false negative. But if I eat low gluten until my exams are over, it means over a month of low gluten, and I would need a lot more time eating high gluten later to get a correct result.  I'm not sure which one should I do, bear it until my appointment or cancel it and try again when I'm free later. And If I choose the second one, how long would I need to do the gluten challenge for a blood test?
