I have been gluten free officially for 6 months and have not lost any weight. watch what you're eating carb wise.... try more fruits and veggies and protein. bloating might be from something you're still eating. marsha

It's a friggin waste of time. Don't bother. My mom and doc wanted me to see a GI specialist. Saw him last week and he kinda asked a couple times...maybe not directly but "why are you here, i don't have a clue what you're talking about. i only know about celiac disease, i know nothing about food intollerances and other intolerances." he wanted to do a fecal...

Sounds like you might need to do an elimination diet. Mine only seem to take 1/2 a day of it to figure out the suspects. I just went off Legumes and am doing better. Spend a day eating the food you think you have no problems with and then start adding other food. last week i spent a day eating bananas, plain rice, apple, hot dog....the next day i was bouncing...

Earth balance does have soy free buttery spread. (it's the red one). Container says , no soy, non gmo, gluten free, lactose free, vegan. Don't know if you can order on-line but the site listed is www.EarthBalanceNatural.com

go back to the basic foods that are known to not bother you. Last week I spent a day eating plain rice, bananas, apple, hot dogs for protein. Did you get a new lotion for Christmas or anything new that you've been using since. It took me forever to figure out that I had to change anything and everything that touches my skin. My newest issue is I think...

Don't worry about doing this without your doctor, I've heard they aren't always helpful. Mine told me to try going off dairy and eventually did and then i went off gluten and as of last week i am off soy. there is no cheating. If you want to feel better then you cannot cheat. everyone is different but i have had to change out shampoo, lotions, toothpaste...

First week in 6 months that I have felt normal every day. Awesome! I am self diagnosed gluten, dairy and soy intolerant. What do Soy free people eat? I need some variety.... My day consists of apple, bananas, 'hormel' deli ham (whole package in a day), celery with pb, granola by 'bakery on main', protein shake with coconut milk, and dinners i haven...

Unless there is an oat problem, it might not be a problem. I am a dog/cat groomer and I just recently checked into the shampoos i was using and the oatmeal i have is fine. the brand is Envirogroom. marsha

i tried the other day to eliminate stuff but pretty much screwed it up at breakfast, but by the time i got home from work severely bloated i had a guess as to what my problem was. soy. pick 2-3 foods that you know are ok and feel awesome on. if that works add something new the next day. or i think i couldn't stick with the same food all day, (i had to have...

It's not completely hopeless. You just gotta figure it out. Chili and coke i would not trust. If you have skin issues, have you changed out shampoo, deoderant, lotions, toothpaste. Dove and Neutrogena products are safe. Some people don't have issues with these things but some do (and I'm one of them). check your vitamins or anything else you take. ...

i notice a difference.... before gluten free days, i had days where i seemed to have to pee every 20min (not all day, everyday). it comes back when i gluten myself and usually a couple hours before i get it all out of my system. i can go 1/2 the day now before i feel the urge...on a good day. Marsha

It's not always what you eat but what you touch and products you use on your body. I am self-diagnosed intolerant but I have changed toothpaste, deoderant, shampoo, hand lotion, vitamins. The day after i went off gluten i had 6 hours pure energy. it was the same when i went off soy a couple days ago. i actually had energy at work today. you might think...

thanks everyone. So is it the soy protein that is causing the problem? I haven't been able to find anything much online like I could for gluten. I'm cutting out all versions of soy and will try again someday. I just wanna feel good and have energy. I really miss my starbucks drink. anyone know what drinks are without gluten, dairy, and soy at starbucks...

I'm not sure how kids react to gluten and stuff but I'd say he's probably still getting gluten somehow. I don't know how indepth you have gone for him but have you thought about lotions, shampoos, meds. It's possible it could be something else starting up too. I just went off soy because i had bout 2 weeks of bloating. i found out by doing an elimination...

Maybe? It might be one of those hit or miss choices.
