    Thanks for the info. I was just thinking today that I have felt CC'ed lately and I think it is from testing my daughter's cereal to make sure it isn't too hot. I just started her on it 10 days ago and she has been extremely gassy. I am looking for something else that is gluten free and soy free now. I could make my own, but the boxed stuff seems so convenient...

    I haven't tried making marshmallows yet, but wanted to add that I did find a corn-free powdered sugar at Whole Foods. It is their 365 Brand - Organic Powdered Sugar that contains tapioca starch instead of corn starch.

    I have been corn free for about 9 months. My main symptoms from corn are immediate stomach bloating and delayed mental fuzziness. At first I just went free of all visible corn like corn starch and high fructose corn syrup. Eventually I cut back more things like I made homemade vanilla for baking instead of using McCormicks which has corn syrup in it. ...

    Colgin brand liquid smoke flavoring says it is gluten free on their website. I think this is the brand my dad used one time for us. Open Original Shared Link

    My soy reaction is just as bad as a gluten reaction. No soy oil or soy lecithin for me. I also have to watch for products that are produced on the same lines as soy containing products.

    I still didn't feel good at 6 months because I had other food sensitivites that I had not discovered yet. I felt different (slightly better) from pre-gluten free and could still tell when I got CC'ed.

    It has been almost three years for me. I voted that it was relatively easy to do, just not always the most fun emotionally when I see others eating whatever they want. I am very fortunate that my husband is also celiac and whether diagnosed or not with the other food sensitivities, we both feel better without gluten, dairy, soy, corn, and eggs. Now that...

    I have tried Ener-G egg replacer...until I found out from the company that it contained corn. I now use ground flax as an egg replacer. Both have worked well for me in baked goods that bake right away like cake and cookies. I didn't have luck with flax in bread...it got gummy. I am guessing this is because it had to sit and rise for a while. If you can...

    I like making homemade tortillas too and absolutely love love love my tortilla press that presses out the tortillas and cooks them. It is made by Villa Ware. I use a recipe from Living Without. They are really good made to order. For leftovers, I cook them until they are light brown and crispy like crackers and eat them like tostadas. They might be good...

    I make bread that is free of gluten, dairy, soy, egg, and corn...I use coconut milk, but if that is a problem for your son (not sure since it is technically a tree nut according to the FDA), I bet it can be substituted with another milk alternative such as rice milk. Here is my recipe: Ingredients: 3 c. gluten free flour mix 2 packages of quick rise...

    I got positive test results for reactive hypoglycemia in June. I would highly recommend getting at least a 5-hour glucose tolerance test. All of my numbers were normal until the 4th hour. The lady that was doing my test told me that the last two hours of the test were pointless and all the real info was in the first three hours. She apparently didn't...

    Did you replace the dairy with a substitute, like soy? When I did a trial dairy free diet I ate soy cheese, soy ice cream, and used soy milk. The trial didn't go so well because I eventually found out I was also sensitive to soy. I ended up getting checked by Enterolab because the guess work was too tricky. Turns out now, my reaction to soy is just as...

    I don't know about the study, but my body doesn't like corn

    The food at our wedding was all gluten free (and dairy free, soy free). I didn't want to take any chances and be sick for the whole honeymoon...plus it was our day and we didn't want to be around a bunch of food we couldn't eat that looked good (my husband is celiac as well). We had bbq (ribs, brisket, pulled pork, turkey), baked beans, roasted potatoes...

    We get gluten free ice cream cones. The brand is "Let's Do...Gluten Free Ice Cream Cones". We get them at the regular grocery store in their health market. I googled them and it popped up, so maybe do that to see what they are.

    Good to know, thanks. I am suspecting a soy cc. We went to the chinese restaurant we go to this past weekend. We always tell them to make our fried rice without soy sauce and with canola oil instead of vegetable oil. I am guessing they forgot to use canola. I wasn't sure about a cc at first because I didn't get a headache which I usually get with a cc...

    I started having symptoms of a UTI a couple days ago. I went to the doctor yesterday, the test showed blood, but no bacteria. They are sending the sample off for the "longer" culture to see if anything shows up. The won't give my anything for it unless something does show since I am pg. I am still having symptoms today. Has anyone else experienced this...

    My experience with experimenting with my diet went like this. I tried gluten free, felt a tiny bit better but not enough to know that it wasn't just psychological and wishful thinking. Then I got anti-body testing for gluten and it came back positive for gluten sensitivity. Several months later, still not feeling good I found out that it is common to have...

    I have stopped eating corn after noticing that it makes my stomach feel swelled and makes me feel overall not well. Since I haven't had a test to check for an actual corn sensitivity, it is really difficult to cut out the trace corn...like xanthan gum. I have the past few months cut out visible corn, corn starch, high fructose corn syrup...and am feeling...

    We use Cupini's. It is the only one we have not gotten any reactions from...including no acid/indigestion. There are some brands we have tried that don't have soybean oil that are still hit or miss...I think because they also produce other "flavors" that do contain stuff (like dairy).

    I take Country Life Maxi Prenatal and it seems to do pretty well for me, but it does cost more than some brands. I hadn't had very good luck in the past finding any type of multivitamin that didn't make me feel sick. These are gelcaps...supposed to take them three times a day. They say gluten free, milk free, soy free, etc. on the bottle.

    A while back I was out of the office on a job with some co-workers. I brought my sack lunch to the place they chose to eat (just a little hamburger place) and the manager was very rude and asked that I leave because I was eating my own food. Even after I tried to explain the situation, didn't use any of their stuff, and only had a gluten-free sandwich and...

    I second reading "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" by Toni Weschler. It is really interesting.

    After starting gluten free, I felt a little better. My headaches changed from pounding to more pressure/nausea. It wasn't until I found out I was sensitive to dairy and soy (and eliminated them from my diet) that I actually started to feel a lot better. I was also still having a lot of GI symptoms before getting rid of dairy and soy.
