    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 like toddlers after cake.
     
    So I feel like crap. Yay. Thanks, genes.
     
    BUT I also have crazy hi...

    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 anyway. But I had a mild reaction to the jerky and a slightly heavier reaction to the medical drink. All are gluten-...

    Celiact: A Brief Experiment

    By Chaff,

    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 here, and the US bases stock what the servicemen want, and that doesn't seem to be the same stuff I want. So everything ...

    Cheese Requiem

    By Chaff,

    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, his homemade meatballs with parmesan.
     
    Why not make gluten-free pasta for both of us? Because it's ...

    Breaking My Fast

    By Chaff,

    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 I get a headache, I'm dizzy, I can't think, and I go into a sort of daze. It starts about a half an hour after ...
