    I am diabetic unfortunately, and I haven’t found a balance at all as of yet. I don’t take insulin, so I’m not sure what options are there for me. I messaged my doc but haven’t heard anything back. I just want to make sure I get a reliable biopsy

    Okay, so basically pig out? 😂 I am going by the guidelines given here. I’ve been trying to eat a lot. I’m miserable. And my sugar has really been high since having to eat all this but I’m hoping for a reliable biopsy

    Okay, thanks for this tip! I will stick with regular bread. I posted in the forum with some questions about all this. If you have time to check it out, it’s titled Starting the Gluten Challenge ..could use the advice! If it’s easier I can ask here too. Thanks so much!

    Okay, thank you so much!

    Okay good, thank you so much! It’s hard to know if it’s enough if it’s not just breads I’m eating. Does it matter what kind of bread or if it’s lite bread with less carbs?

    I just started the gluten challenge on the 19th. My biopsy and colonoscopy and EGD is scheduled for September 27th. Is that a sufficient amount of time of consuming gluten to get a reliable biopsy?

    Is 5 weeks of eating gluten enough to get a reliable biopsy?

    Not sure if this is the right forum to post this in but here I go: I am starting the gluten challenge for an upcoming EGD and colonoscopy with biopsies. I have not done a gluten challenge before, as I fell through the cracks and was told to go off gluten before seeing an GI doc. I am not excited about it. Gluten makes me very sick with all sorts of...

    Is that where you put iodine on your skin ? And see what happens? What if that is negative or doesn’t react?
  10. Ginger38
    Yes, I definitely think I do, but the dermatologist wouldn’t biopsy for it the last time I asked , she wouldn’t even entertain the idea without me having the intestinal biopsy done 🙄🤦🏼‍♀️

    So my gastro doc says I need a colonoscopy plus egd with biopsy, he wants to see what is going on in there. I first told him I wasn’t going back on gluten but I feel like I need to if I am going to have the biopsy to get good results. I am DREADING it. Gluten makes me really sick. I get rashes and everything. However since I missed the boat the first time i...

    That’s great! Thanks for the good tips, I will have to check into all this , and hope it helps. I never know what to do with beef other than burgers or chili or sloppy joes etc. Are you just eating it plain?

    Not sure what barbecue crisps are but neither the baked lays barbecue nor the regular barbecue lays chips (in the black bag) are labeled gluten free on the bag. Yet others are. It’s very confusing and a bit of a red flag 🤷🏼‍♀️
  14. Ginger38
    Yes I feel like such a pig most all the time! I hate it. If you don’t mind me asking, what have you added that has helped?

    I am revamping my education again and double checking my foods after realizing I was getting glutened off and on in various things. Needless to say my stomach is a mess as is my digestion. Green beans are pushing it at times. I’m getting sick from anything like salad and cucumbers and broccoli, beans..tomatoes.. it seems the green veggies just pass right t...

    I am hungry all the time! It’s so frustrating
  17. Ginger38
    Thanks! that list looks like the one I found on frito Lay, because it says lays barbecue are gluten free, however they are not labeled gluten free but the plain lays are , which is why I was questioning things
  18. Ginger38
    I didn’t even realize Doritos made a plain chip lol. All I have ever seen is nacho cheese, ranch, spicy and all the other flavors. So Is it best to assume Doritos are not gluten free since they are not labeled as such? I used to buy the late July plain chips, I’ve never seen nacho cheese flavored, but quit bc they are so expensive.
  19. Ginger38
    Thank you! Thats my thoughts as well. Why else would they not label the others gluten free as well (if they truly were). I Noticed that also with Zatarains Spanish rice. It used to say gluten free on it. Our Kroger still has it labeled on the shelf as gluten free, so I bought it, ate it and then realized it no longer says gluten free 🤦🏼‍♀️ went to the stor...

    I’m so confused about Fritos lays chips / snacks. I looked on their website as well. Plain lays (yellow bag) are labeled gluten free like on the bag itself , but that’s it. Other flavors are not which makes me nervous, especially the barbecue . I thought Doritos were but they are not labeled gluten free. When I read on their website it’s like they are c...

    Yes this is what I am referring to. lt looked gluten free to me but I didn’t know about their “natural flavors” , label reading is so confusing 🫤

    Trying to figure out if Chef Boyardee pizza sauce is gluten free?
  23. Ginger38
    I have had some new places erupt that are extremely painful, red, irritated and burning.. tried to take a bath tonight and it set me on fire , currently laying with a cold eye mask against the worst of my places. Is there anything that actually helps? I don’t know if I should be sleeping without or with pants at this point .. I’m miserable
  24. Ginger38
    Yes my diet was that way for most of my life as well! Sounds like you are doing much better though … me not so much. Just don’t have that motivation I guess, idk. I know I’m very overwhelmed trying to figure all this out and do what I need to do all the time with 2 special diets or whatever. I have met with a dietitian and it was a little helpful as far a...
