Hi Dilettantsteph -- thanks for your reply. I should clarify that I'm not posting here on this for me. I'm posting this because a lot of folks online are suggesting just washing the beans to magically remove the gluten, while Jane Anderson is saying that trace amounts may remain. I just want to point that out in case there are other sensitive folks like...
-
For what it's worth, I suggest getting a gluten-free testing kit and checking to see if your beans are safe after washing. It's the only way to be sure. Jane Anderson at About.com claims that washing (soap or no) does not really remove the gluten: Open Original Shared Link I'm inclined to agree. Most beans are not totally smooth surfaces, so some...

ARCHIVED Question: Sudden Dizziness, Possible Trace Exposure From Goya Beans?
Chaff posted a topic in Super Sensitive People
Hi Folks, I've been gluten-free since Nov 2011 (when I was diagnosed after testing) and lately discovered that a lot of my lingering digestive issues seem to be connected to the small amounts of dairy I was eating (butter, hard cheese, the occasional yogurt). Since I couldn't handle most foods, I'm excited to finally start to expand my diet now. I'm... -
ARCHIVED First Post :) Gluten Associated Neurological Symptoms
Chaff replied to thegron's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
It's totally orthostatic hypotension. I only get it after my evening glass of wine, but that has never happened before. I checked and alcohol should only be cause if I'm overdoing it, but if anything I'm drinking less than a whole glass. Nonetheless, could be causing dehydration. I have iron overload and eat way too much protein (not by choice), so dehydration... -
So Many Different Symptoms I Don't Know What Is Going On
Chaff commented on carolannjane's blog entry in carolannjane's Blog
Symptoms from gluten can take a while to leave your system, you could also have other food intolerances or conditions. SIBO is one associated with leaky gut, which comes from intestinal damage from celiac. So many possibilities. The only sure way to know is to take all this to your doctor and get some testing done. -
I made rice crackers from cream of rice baby cereal, olive oil, and water. It's surprising edible!

OK, started a new thread on that here: https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/99944-fructose-intolerances-what-does-the-medical-literature-say/

ARCHIVED Fructose Intolerances -- What Does The Medical Literature Say?
Chaff posted a topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Kareng brought up a good point on a different post -- what exactly does the medical literature say about problems eating fructose for people diagnosed with celiac? Some of us have it, but most don't. Is it a leaky gut thing? Is it a different genetic condition? Is there even a third factor that I can't think of right now that might be causing it? The... -
Well, I'm not a doctor. And most folks go off gluten and do just fine. But if you want robust studies on food intolerances connected to leaky gut, I would also love very much to see them. I'm desperate for serious medical research into the subject. Until then, we have outlier anecdotal evidence. It's not ideal. The fact is that fructose malabsorption...

Thanks! No candida here.

Hemochromatosis + Fructose-Free, Gluten-Free Diet = Fun Times
Chaff posted a blog entry in Thesmophoria
I'm a 35-year-old woman with hereditary hemochromatosis. I'm supposed to have zero problems til menopause, but in my 20s I had severe iron overload. After the bloodlettings, things went along OK. But now I'm diagnosed celiac and gluten-free...and my celiac anemia tendencies are removed, allowing the iron free rein in my system. It's running in my system... -
Yours may be better than mine, of course.

Just do a search on the boards here. A lot of people say fructose gave them problems initially. But not most people for sure.

ARCHIVED Can Celiac Cause Dysautonomia
Chaff replied to evo123's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Hm...I get very dizzy upon standing at least once a day, but I have absurdly high iron (serum ferritin in the 250s--I'm waiting for a phlebotomy). I'll look into this further, but I'd love to know if its a celiac thing. -
ARCHIVED Two Months In And Food Intolerances Are Growing! Why?
Chaff replied to Sarahsmile416's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Grrr. Because out digestive symptoms are drama queens. Just when you think you get it, it all changes on you. I hear it gets easier, so hang on. When I feel sad, I read the Crohn's boards and thank my lucky stars.
