    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    hello there!

    I read one of your posts and it seems we have problems with similar foods - like scary close.

    Do you do a rotation diet? Just wondering. Im looking for some way to eat without so much frustration.

    Thank you!

    Chasbari--you are brave! I got rid of all flours when I went gluten-free. The only thing my husband has is bread/buns, and beer. He even eats gluten-free pasta now! When I returned home, it was like I had been glutened, and I'm not sure what from, since I hadn't eaten anything out of the ordinary when I got back. I'm basically grasping at straws here...

    Thank you for your replies! Salax--I've never thought myself to be overly sensitive to gluten in particular (but I am sensitive to a lot of foods in general) so I don't know if it's that I'm breathing something or what. As for liking where I live, it's OK. I like certain things about it and dislike certain things about it. I actually like living here...

    Just an update, and something to ponder. I keep thinking about this subject, if living where I live is making me sick. Sometimes I think it's hooey, sometimes I think it's the key. My wedding was last weekend, in the southern CA desert. Prior to leaving, I had some tummy troubles and was very nervous about being in a car for so long. We left on Tuesday...

    The good news is that not ALL wine barrels are sealed with a flour paste. The flour paste is used only to seal oak barrels; if a wine is un-oaked, there is no flour paste involved. Also, this practice varies by region. From what I've discovered, it can be quite common in aged French wines, but less common in Spanish wines and American wines. Some...

    Gentle--that's an excellent point. We had considered staying here another few years (because it's financially lucrative to do so) but now with the advent of all these health issues, we'll probably move as soon as we can. The area we're planning on moving is NOT agricultural by any means, so I think things might improve. It could be just a coincidence...

    Ang--that's actually why we started using the local raw honey in the first place, to help with my fiance's allergies. It seems to be really helping him! He used to get wiped out when allergy season hit, now he just gets a bit of sniffling and sneezing. As for helping me, I'm not so sure!

    Thanks for your response, Al. I don't know if this is possible but I've really begun to wonder since discovering my problem with gluten. I guess a sub-question of this topic would be: Can living in a wheat-concentrated area provoke symptoms or make symptoms worse? I live in an area of Montana nicknamed the Golden Triangle, because such a huge amount...

    Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

    I apologize if this question has been asked before. Normally, I would assume that raw honey is gluten-free and safe to eat. BUT, what if the beehives are kept in an area that grows wheat and/or is surrounded by wheat fields? Is there a chance that gluten would be in the raw honey, or is that me being a worrywart? The reason I ask is because I ate...

    Raven--that is very interesting about the KP! Now that you mention it, it did disappear when I eliminated grains from my diet for a few months, and slowly returned after I'd added them back in. It's not nearly as bad as it's been before, but now it's certainly the worst it's been in a long time. I am definitely mentioning the burning BMs. That really...

    Raven, thanks for your reply. I've had mucus before, but this seemed more solid than that...but then again, it could very well be mucus, because like I said, basically every BM I've had since starting the challenge has burned. Luckily I have an appointment on Wednesday, and I'll be discussing this with him. (I was just hoping that someone had some...

    Would passing a stone like that be painful? It wasn't really painful, but it did burn a little--but since I've been on the gluten challenge, basically all of my BMs have burned.

    OK, TMI alert... Yesterday after I went to the bathroom, I noticed a strange white blob in my stool. It was about the size of a small grape, whitish-grey, looked waxy, and actually had sort of a strand or tail or sprout-looking thing coming out of the top. It wasn't alive, whatever it was. I didn't feel courageous enough to dig it out of the toilet...
