    plantar fasciitis disappeared and I had pulled muscles/sprains that never seemed to fully heal - 10 years old! - that finally did after only a few months gluten-free. So count me in, too!

    Thanks T.H. I saw you sent me a mssg couple days ago but Im new to the site-just figured out how to find your mssg. Thank you for your concern. I will pass the info that you provided me, on to my wife. She is currently trying to elimiinate salicilate and is going to try sticking to the basics for a bit, meat,fruits,veges. She has been doing OK for the last couple days-more energy, etc.

    It's more the cc issue that can be a problem, from what I understand.

    Aw maaaaaan. I did not know that. I would even try it, except I haven't found one I can use yet (allergies AND gluten, sigh). wouldn't be eating beans very often with that expensive of a cleaning method, though, LOL.
  5. T.H.
    I've ended up still having trouble with some beans, even triple washing with gluten-free soap, even, and massive rinsing. So far, we've tried a little of the Rancho Gordo beans ourselves and they seem find for my daughter, so far.

    I always hear that about rice, too, but so far, I've had reactions to four varieties of rice (brown and white, both), from multiple companies, so I'm thinking it does me in, yeah. And I recall reading somewhere that allergies to rice seem to be on the rise in some countries where it is more of a staple. Haven't tracked that comment down to see how true...

    I know that we celiacs often have other sensitivities/allergies, and as a sensitive celiac, a lot of times I've been told that I'm likely reacting to something else and thinking it's gluten. Because a lot of things cause gut reactions. So here's my question - for how many of you is that a possibility? Do you have reactions to gluten that you never get...

    I can totally understand that - and I agree, that's a good thing. I can remember that first shopping trip after going gluten free, so overwhelming. Just reading the labels alone felt impossible. It's something that I think I have to be more aware of, at times, because my family had to go SO extreme that it's hard to remember how many people don't. ...

    Hi! thanks for your thoughts about the oral allergy syndrome. I have googled it in the past. This weird burning tongue and mouth thing has been going on since July 2009!! No one knows what it is, except maybe inflammation of the GI tract from stem to stern (LOL) I had allergy testing done--all foods, all trees, all molds, etc....and I have NO allergies!! I know, I said H...

    My father is pretty much the same. He's never called a company about their gluten free status. He goes by labels. I can't. And...I don't know if I can describe how this thinking comes about well enough, but I'm really going to try, because just from talking with my father, I know it probably seems crazy-over-the-top to you for people to do this. And I guess...

    Yay, thanks for saying Hi! I always love meeting "like-minded folks" too :) Yeah, I won't be wearing mine for too much longer. One's 18 months and the other is almost 3 but both get a ride on mommy's back occasionally :P

    Valley Fever. The official name is Coccidioidomycosis - I developed disseminated coccidioidomycosis. I was pretty darn lucky, actually, because my body slowly managed to overcome the fungus for the most part for the few years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease and my body finally managed to get as healthy as it's going to. There's an organization...

    Thx for your post. Trying to figure this all out. If it is not celiac, I'll be meandering down the rotation diet lane...trying to figure out the puzzle. Could be milk too..need to try that.

  14. T.H.
    I hope that going gluten free will persuade you to continue to do so. I think you are very right in thinking the celiac research is in the dark ages - or more that it is only in the beginning stages. No drugs for the disease means no money from drug companies for research, so it's a slow, slow process. Although from the research I've seen? I think...

    But it's not the ingredients that are the problem with pure spices, it's the CC that's a potential issue. So while reading the ingredient list is useful in finding out ingredients, not so much on the CC front.
  16. T.H.
    1. Spice mixtures can sometimes contain gluten - you know, like 'taco seasoning' or 'poultry seasoning' type of things. So those you want to check on. 2. The majority of spices have no gluten ingredients added, so if that's usually good for you, you're golden. However, the majority of spices are processed in the same facilities that are making the spice...

    I was finally able to look into their gluten content more closely, and it seems they have updated their gluten standards to 20ppm or below, which is great. However, according to them, they do have some ingredients that are derived from gluten containing grains, although I am having a heck of a time finding out what ingredient exactly IS derived from gluten...

    The last information I had (which is, admittedly, a few years old. 2007) was that coke was adhering to the WHO gluten free standards, which are 200ppm or less. So it may be a problem for more people than many other gluten-free products. (The information was from an email from a fellow gluten free gal and can be found here: http://www.glutenfreeceliacweb...
  19. T.H.
    Depends on how restrictive your elimination diet is, I'd say. Oils and nut butters, being processed, always carry a risk of CC, although some have a lower risk than others. If you are really restricting yourself, I'd get unshelled almonds and go that route. If not, it might help you later if you can hunt down a gluten-free almond butter with no other...

    There's been no studies on effective ways to clean gluten off, I understand (none I've heard of, anyway), but there IS a study on the best ways to clean off peanut allergens. Since peanut proteins are also not destroyed by sterilizing cleaners and such, I figure this may be as close as we've got to a good guide. Here's a link to it: http://www.sciencedaily...

    Hey, I just wanted to thank you for your awesome response to my post. I appreciate it tons. Your writing style is quite hypnotic :D

  22. T.H.
    Oh, I would love to see it the link, if you have it easily available!
  23. T.H.

    I am sorry. I was trying to give you a compliment on your post and I goofed it up so I thought I could undo it if I pressed the negative sign. I didn't know that was for reputation. I don't know how to undo that.

    That happened to my 12 year old, who was diagnosed via blood test. She had no stomach issues before going gluten free. After a few months, she started to develop stomach reactions to gluten that have persisted since then. We know it is a gluten reaction because I am a celiac too and we've both had reactions to the same foods at times.

    Thanks, I've been wondering about this!
