    I feel your pain on the anger. Luckily I have my husband and we vent back and forth with each other. He hears how sorry people are for me at his work too. My co workers are learning along with me. It is frustrating but think of your body. Hang in there.

    Hi Jackay in answer to your question, I had blood work done.

    It seems reasonable to me that my son is suffering from food sensitivities, and intolerances the same way I am. He developed asthma about two years ago and and has been suffering from chronic chest and sinus congestion for at least 5 years. His pediatrician wanted me to put him on antihistamines long term so I tried it, but they didn't bring him much relief...

    Logically it seems silly to be angry and I am trying not to be angry, but none the less I am. I hate having to be THIS different from everyone else. The comments are starting to flow in and now I understand more about why others are angry too. Comments like "oh I bet you can have a little and it won't hurt" or "my friend has that and it's okay for her to...

    Ever since accidentally eating gluten this past weekend I have been dealing with swollen joints in my knees, hands, and ankles, and I feel stiff. It hurts but I can manage. I'm just wondering how long before this settles down. I feel like an 80 year old...not good! I thought it was improving a day or so ago, but today it is worse.

    yeah cross contamination might be what happened to me at Rudy's for all I know. I am just barely starting to understand how cross contamination is really a factor. I have a bunch of wooden spoons that are years old...I guess they are probably gluten laden and will need to be thrown away. In Rudy's defense though, I do know they try hard. When I spoke...

    Yeah I was noticing that little disclaimer when I was trying to find peanut and soy free stuff for my son. I didn't buy the almond butter because of that little disclaimer. Going grocery shopping put me in a really terrible mood today. I'm so cranky and fed up with food companies!

    my hair has been going through the same dryness and my nails also have ridges in them. Lips are constantly peeling too. It never occurred to me that malnourishment was going on.

    thank you for the clarification! What are dextrins? I think that might be where I got my signals crossed about dextrose. No telling why I thought whey was a wheat product. Actually...now that I am thinking about it more...maybe I was also on a lactose intolerance site because I have that too...and maybe that is where I saw whey and confused it in my mind...

    Thank you! Yes these are all great ideas. And as for how I know I am not supposed to eat buffalo? Well Bison is one of the foods listed on the list they gave me from the lab and isn't Bison the same thing as buffalo? I am pretty sure pork wasn't on the list. And I find it odd that Bison would be on that list too and not pork. I can't imagine what would...

    Wow, my bad! I wonder how I got my signals crossed on that. I could have sworn those were no no's on the forbidden list. Well I did say I was confused lol and I am! This is so freakin hard.

    Yesterday the office called in an order to Rudy's to reward us all for being such hard workers. Naturally no one asked for my input at all about alternatives for me...guess I better just accept this will never happen(today they ordered in Pizza for everyone but didn't ask me what I would like). So I get on the phone to talk to Rudy's because everyone says...

    Went to Sprouts today looking for some gluten-free mac and cheese for my kiddo and some cookie mix too...and I was really confused by the claim on some of the boxes about being gluten free. Amy's gluten free mac and cheese has whey and or dextrose in it. Aren't these on the list of ingredients to avoid for people with gluten intolerance? There was a cookie...

    You have touched on something that I am finding rather difficult to deal with myself and that is the fact that many people think I am making this stuff up. Maybe her friend will get a dose of reality someday and open her eyes. From what I am reading, not all people with celiac disease feel sick after eating gluten. Who knows...maybe she is having other kinds...

    oh and turkey...I can have that too. Rutabagas...hrmmm. I don't even know what that is! lol no to eggplant, not sure about turnips or lamb.
