Thank you, so much, knitty kitty. I will give this a try, definitely! Take care, and Happy Holidays!

Hi, trents, Thanks for responding! One book I read is called, Doing Harm, by Maya Dusenbery. She has wonderful perspective and insight, and it's all research-based. It's about how women can't get treated. Everyone should read this! I wouldn't mind reading it again, even. She believes that women are so busy taking care of families, working,...

Modified Food Starch
PlanetJanet replied to PlanetJanet's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
They say maltodextrin is gluten-free, even if it's made from wheat, because the gluten is processed away. It makes no difference to my body. I still get uncontrollable flatulence and leakage. Happens every time, even if I refuse to believe it will happen. Once I was taking Gas-X chewables to hang around with people I was visiting and staying with, to... -
Modified Food Starch

Titanium dioxide is that chemical in vitamins, toothpaste, and processed white foods that is the whitener for the pill coloring. It is inflammatory for me. I have an intestinal reaction to it, every time. https://www.webmd.com/diet/titanium-dioxide-in-food https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11295244/#:~:text=EFSA concluded that titanium... -

Hi, Travel Celiac, After several years of gastro problems, reading Wheat Belly, and some other books, tracking my food, and finally swearing off wheat, barley, and rye, (for years), I went to a gastroenterologist. I insisted on being tested for celiac disease, including genetic testing, and the answer he gave was an email: "You do not have celiac disease...

gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

I was just reading about Miracle Whip on the forum here. I, too, have a reaction to modified food starch, even if something is labeled gluten free. I was Googling about it, and apparently it can be inflammatory because of the method of manufacturing, not just whether or not it has wheat in it. I DO NOT eat anything with maltodextrin in it, either, even...

After looking at Google images, the spleen is on the upper left abdomen, too! An organ, part of the lymphatic system for immune function. A filter. Wonder how this relates to gluten sensitivity?

Hey, mistake in my post, pancreas TAIL is on the left side. Head is middle back of belly,

Hello, everyone, This upper left side pain is interesting to me. I have this same pain almost all the time. Started 2009 when I got diverticulitis for the first time. Then had left ovarian cyst removed and a diagnosis of endometriosis all over inside. Been attempting gluten-free since 2018. It's not perfect, but still have that left sided pain....

Ivermectin is also what’s in shampoos and treatments for head lice. Not likely effective on COVID-19.

Hello, All, This thread is 3 years old, so don’t know if anyone is still checking back. Would like to suggest, and IMPLORE, everyone still having problems even when gluten-free, to try ELIMINATING maltodextrin from their diets, whether made from corn or wheat. This ingredient is connected to symptoms of microscopic colitis, as reported in research p...
