    Just a thought--I react to many deodorants, but I don't think it's because of gluten. I've become more sensitive all the way around since going gluten-free, and this includes my skin. What works very well for me is a crystal deodorant. I've been using it now for probably 3 years, and I've not had any itching or anything. The brand I use is Thai. It...

    Hi LadyC, Glad you found us! I suffered from panic attacks for years before being diagnosed. All those years, I had no idea that it was something I was eating--and for a long time, I didn't even know what the panic attacks themselves were. I would get a racing heart, feel overheated, breathless, and nauseous, and had an overwhelming feeling of fear...

    My gastroenterologist told me that there was an increased risk of intestinal lymphoma with Celiac Disease. The test to ask for would be an Upper GI.

    Generic, Thanks for sharing this with us

    Ditto. This is something to be sorted out by your doctor. From personal experience, sometimes it takes a second medical opinion to get to the bottom of what's going on.

    There are two separate issues here--"flour" listed as an ingredient must be followed by the word "wheat" if it is indeed from wheat. The fact that there is primarily wheat flour in the baking aisle in the supermarket is something else altogether. One has nothing to do with the other.

    006, What you heard about MFS is outdated/incorrect information. Happygirl is absolutely right--if MFS is made from wheat, it would have to be listed as such on the label. If just "modified food starch" appears, you can rest assured that ingredient is gluten-free.

    EGD is an esophagogastroduodenoscopy, or more commonly known as an endoscopy I had adhesions from a c-section 24 years ago. They were taken care of during a hysterectomy last year. So far, so good.

    I think you're absolutely right... I was also muscle tested by a Kinesiologist before I had ever heard of Celiac. He told me to avoid, among other things, wheat, oats, barley and rye. He also said that if I found a noodle at the bottom of my soup bowl, not to worry--and put me on suppliments that contained things like wheat germ. He was "in the right...

    My chiropractor/accupuncturist in New Jersey also used muscle testing for certain things.

    In the year or so before I was diagnosed, I had spots like what you describe on the inside of my arms and on my fingers. Mine itched, though. They reminded me of chicken pox. I don't know exactly what they were, although they disappeared after I went gluten-free, and haven't reoccured.

    Judy-- Great news! So glad that he was able to take care of it for you right then and there I go tomorrow to my new GP, and plan to ask about the wooshing in my right ear. I used to have problems with wax build-up years ago and would have to go and get it flushed out once in a while. I remember that doctor saying it was too bad there wasn't...

    I have contacted Sweet Baby Ray's by phone, and was assured it was gluten-free. I have personally eaten it many times with no ill effects, and I'm highly sensitive. All that said, it may be that you are sensitive to one of the ingredients in the sauce, or it just doesn't agree with you. I've been at this long enough to think that anyone can be sensitive...

    I fall asleep quickly--I'm so exhausted when glutened, but I also have trouble staying asleep. I wake up several times during the night--my anxiety kicks up and I end up laying there worrying about everything and thinking things to death.

    Hi, I'm new to the forum and glade to meet a "Jersey" girl here. Look forward to your help.

    It's really interesting that you should ask me that. Yes--one evening, on a Friday, I did get worried enough to call my doctor. This was about a week into the diet--and the numbness and tingling just got much worse, sort of all of a sudden. Since it was pronounced on the left side, I panicked and actually thought about going to the emergency room....

    Glad you're sticking around I used Hain Safflower Oil and Arrowhead Mills Organic Popcorn--I bought both at Whole Foods. If you try it, let me know how it went.

    It's nice to see you again, too I'm really glad to hear that you're doing better and even working again--that's great! I'm right there with ya on keeping things simple. I do much better that way, too--but it does get boring. I did try some popcorn the other day--I popped organic corn in the safflower oil--and didn't react! I avoided corn for months...

    Hi Jenny, Honestly, it sounds like what you suspected--the mix of everything It was probably just too much for your stomach--especially after eating so simply and feeling better. I am a bit sensitive to canola--it dosen't give me a huge reaction, but I feel a little "off" after eating it. I use mostly olive oil--when I need something light...
