Wow! Thanks everyone, so I'm not crazy! <cheers> Angie, I laughed out loud when you said your husband thought it was a spirit contacting you! It does sort of feel like someone tapping on your shoulder or something! Rice Guy - I'll bet you're right with the nutritional deficiency thing. Stupid question - is there any way they can "test...

So. I *may* have gotten glutened last week. Had dinner at a friend's house and I know all the food was ok because I brought it, but may have gotten glutened somehow from knives or plates or something. Felt like *total* crap the next day - stomach problems, super foggy head, headaches, and the same the day after that. The third day the cloud started...

So I don't know if this helps, but WHENEVER I use ANY product with wheat - shampoo, mousse, body lotion, makeup, face cream - ANYTHING - I get these tiny little bumps all over my skin, sort of like pimples but smaller and they itch but don't pop. I also have super fine hair that I have tried probably 3 million products on in my life so far - and honestly...

This is a really good question.... I know when I get glutened the thing I crave the most is like really starchy things (I assume to soak up the stomach acid or something).... So if I get glutened at a restaurant one night, and I already know I'm going to be sick - can I eat a croissant the next day?? Would you really absorb any of the gluten if you...

Thanks guys I wonder if the novacaine resistance has anything to do with Celiac?? I have an appointment on Friday, and I'll ask if I can go to the oral surgeon, or if they can promise me that they'll make me numb till next Tuesday.

Hi Susanm! Welcome to gluten free life! And don't worry, I'm sure now that you've accidentally glutened yourself and are already feeling the effects it won't happen too often in the future. Keep in mind that this is a major life change you've just embarked on, and it'll take a little while to get used to. We ALL make mistakes in the beginning. As...

Hey everyone! I moved a few months ago and started school again and haven't been on in FOREVER. I'll probably be on all night catching up. Anyway, so long story short - I had a deep cavity in a front tooth on the lower left, last November I was in a lot of pain so I went to the dentist and lo and behold I needed three root canals and there was a lesion...

Thanks guys! Sorry I didn't respond sooner I was away and didn't have internet access for a couple of days. Ravenwoodglass, you are right - there is a ton of information about this on the web, I should have googled first. It's soooo frustrating when our doctors aren't aware of things and won't listen. I'm switching dentists, but I think I'm going to...

I've been gluten free for just two years, and I know this is terrible but I don't take any vitamins currently. I've never been checked for any deficiencies (unless these would come out in your normal blood work??). What should I be taking?

I need some help relating celiac and my endless teeth issues. I just got my teeth cleaned and the hygenist told me that my enamel looks like I am bulimic. I am not, nor have I ever been bulimic. In fact, I haven't even thrown up that much in my life in general. I brush my teeth like crazy, I floss, I rinse with "ACT" fluoride every night, and my teeth...

We have this in the house, and I am constantly avoiding it because I've never been able to find out whether it's gluten free. I'm not much of a hot sauce fan - but it would be nice if I didn't have to worry about whether or not it got in my food. Anyone know if McIlhenny Green Pepper Tabasco Sauce is gluten free? Thanks!!

Wow! Thanks everyone - I have some great ideas to run with! I think I was getting frustrated because I was thinking around meals, but I'm realizing now that you can fit fiber in as a snack, etc. etc. it doesn't have to be a bowl full of horse feed for breakfast. Two questions: gfpaperdoll - what is "double DQ1" And everyone else - I've cut out...

Hey Everyone, I just wanted to send out a request for what you do to make sure you get enough fiber in your diet. Both of my parents recently passed away due to colon cancer, and I've been researching the serious risks involved in being constipated most of the time. My diet (like most Americans) is and has always been very low in fiber. I eat...

Please be careful with the Kombucha! My mom drank it religiously for a while and it made her really sick. There are serious dangers in particular to growing your own Kombucha - Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link

Thanks everyone - I think it was just all the water, because I was able to eat dinner tonight and it "stayed put" It's just so frustrating to feel like that and not know why. Little Miss Allergy - I had wanted this test for a while too. Colon cancer runs in my family (I actually lost both of my parents this way) and a doctor once told me that you...
