    Hi Mushroom~ Did going gluten-free help your RA? I have RA, too - my dd has the celiac disease. I told her I'd go gluten-free with her. :)

    Tennisman, I did not do an elimination diet to figure out my intolerances, but it certainly is the easiest and quickest way. Narrow your food choices way down to things you know don't bother you, and then one at a time, every 3-4 days, add in something that you think could be a problem. If you react, take it out and test it again some other time. Reaction...

    It's interesting that those are all places (except fingers) that I get psoriasis, and the psoriasis on my scalp drives me the craziest (unless my heels really flare up and I have real pain when walking)

    If you have had blood testing and biopsy, there is nothing preventing you from going on the gluten free diet to see if it works for you. And I mean a strict trial of the diet, not just not eating bread or pasta. I mean ferreting out all the hidden gluten in scrips and OTC meds, in personal care products. I mean not using cookware that is contaminated with...

    Those darned blood tests have caused more suffering on this earth than I would care to quantify. Just so you know, they are not infallible. There is a 20% (at least) false negative rate on those tests. And the doctors not only don't tell you that, but they don't tell you that it would be a good idea to give the gluten-free diet a good three-month trial...

    Quinoa is one of the high-lectin grains. Gliadin in wheat is a lectin. There are lectins in corn and soy and peanuts. If you happen to be lectin sensitive you can react to any or all of these things. For me it is all, plus some others. So you might just consider that you have sensitized yourself to the quinoa lectin. Or it might be something else entirely...

    So sorry you got glutened. Weddings are hard.... but yes, definitely if something has croutons mixed in it's a no-no whether you eat the croutons or not. Also unidentified sauces are really dangerous. But we have to have these learning experiences to teach us what to avoid in the future. Sauces and marinades will get you most often, also processed foods with...

    Sadly, most gastroenterologists are not very well informed either .

    Going gluten free does give one unexpected surprises. For me I knew that corn and soy were problem foods, but I never suspected that nightshades (tomatoes and potatoes, ferevvinsake) could be a problem. Those were my comfort foods. Pizza always made me feel good. My favourite side dish was ratatouille with most of the nightshade family in there. Nevertheless...

    I too am intolerant of potatoes. I have found that the manifestations of intolerance take many forms. For me the intolerance has changed from formerly intense itching to now bloating and erratic heartbeats. One can never judge one's own reactions to something by how someone else reacts.

    The reason I haven't done it, Lori, is that I couldn't imagine how I could do it You can't eat too many fruits, I get easily bored with vegetables, and too much meat (and I am I great meat eater) just puts me off. Without the carbs I am lost

    Hi BramelyHall. I could not get your patriotoutreach link to load. Can you see if you can fix it?

    Hey there, you posted on a question I had regarding fiber and just general digestive issues back in January.I have since had a colonoscopy and was diagnosed with microscopic colitis. I just posted a reply to the other person who posted on the topic so if you would like the update feel free to check it out. Thanks for taking the time to reply! I appreciate it! I wish you well! My be...

    I had low B12, and I also had oversized red blood cells.

    Hi, Meghan, and welcome. Don't be discouraged quite yet, five days is a very short time. Give it another week or two and if it still persists I would start suspecting another food culprit. For me, it was potatoes. Soy also gave me the itchies, but I had a rash with that. But no rash with potatoes. Everyone reacts differently to different things...

    Did you know you had a problem with nightshades before going gluten free? I think for most of us we only find out after we get the gluten out of our systems, and then some, like me, take longer to figure it out...
  23. mushroom
    Just the very fact of your diagnosis and quitting eating gluten has increased your longevity odds immensely I really don't think you need fear an imminent demise. We eat more healthily than the rest of the population and may well outlast them all.
  24. mushroom
    The nightshades are a bit of a puzzlement to me. I initially gave them up because I knew they were inflammatory and I was concerned about my RA. Giving up bell peppers was easy because they never had sat well with me (I hated fajitas!) and I have not really missed eggplant, although strangely enough ratatouille used to be one of my signature dishes. So...

    No, I think it is just because most older people have never been diagnosed. I am sure both my parents had it and both lived to be 80 plus without diagnosis. My sister who is self-diagnosed just turned 75. I am a few years behind her (but still what you think of as "old") but only self-diagnosed two years ago. Don't forget the blood test was developed...
