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: http://celiacdisease.about.com/od/Gluten-Free-Grains/fl/Gluten-Free-Beans.htm I'm inclined to agree...

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!

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.

I tried Celiact this week. For two and a half days only -- and then I had to stop. It seemed like a great idea. It has a ton of stuff in it, all of which I was taking separately and some of which I had on order and didn't have access to. I don't have anywhere to buy gluten-free vitamins, since I live in Japan and they aren't very gluten-free-friendly...

I've lost cheese! I put two and two together and am now on a two-week casein elimination diet. HOLY COW. It's day 4. (On day 2, my rennet arrived in the mail. It was a sad day.) I just made a dinner for my husband and me that took an army of hands. There was my gluten-free pasta, his gluten-ful pasta, my homemade meatballs with fennel seeds...

No, there are a million of these, aren't there? But thanks for the tip -- I'll steer clear of that one!

I never realized english muffin crumbs were scary before. Now I just hear ominous music when I see them on the counter.

You Can Lead A Body To Nutrients, But Can You Make It Take Them In?

Great title! Yes, yes, and yes. Bodies -- am I right? -
Everything I ordered when I went gluten-free arrived in a heap in the mail today. We have a slow boat from the States, and none of this is available locally that I can tell. I got my freeze-dried probiotics, my medical powder for leaky gut, and my gluten-free jerky. I already have digestive enzymes. The probiotics seemed great. I mean, no problems...

I haven't been able to eat normal food without problems for as long as I can remember. The problems used to be worse, but I unconsciously identified some as causing me a problem. I have always been a picky eater. Today I tried to eat normal food for lunch with digestive enzymes, for the first time. Normally now the problems I have when I eat is that...
