    Some things I was sensitive to were resolved with digestive enzymes and changing up cooking methods on others. But in the end your best bet is a food elimination diet and finding the triggers and avoiding them for a bit. Many of my issues have gone away over the years with food intolerance issue, while others have stayed or cropped up. You mention processed...

    I think the vital what gluten was used before, I think the person did a few tsp a day of it? I do not think they ever got back to us. Vital Wheat gluten should be the gluten proteins left after the starch has been washed away. Google says a slice of bread is 4.8grams of gluten, so 2 slices per req. would be roughly 10 grams or 2tsp. For good measure double...

    Yep had the constipation issues for years, went regular after going gluten free. Now days my reaction is a different and the last exposure left me with diarrhea. You find your symptoms can change over the years with this disease. You might also find many other things and health quirks you took for granted will clear up once gluten free.

    I would actually suggest avoiding anything that is made in the blender, even commercial blenders are prone to stuff getting stuck the seal around the blades. Odd I know but I have noticed it with the Blendtec I use. Your best bet would be sticking to plain coffees with syrups and what ever milk just poured in. I did fine with stuff like americanos with flavor...

    In addition to the above advice, I dealt with the constipation issue for years in the past. Was a bit weird since normal and even large doses of ex lax and miralax did nothing for it aside from a normal bowel movement (Think like the hole 8oz container of miralax for this). I found I had to use magnesium citrate or carbonate to get regular BMs years ago,...

    Hmm you might double check the oatmeal to see if labeled Gluten Free. They do often have contamination issues otherwise. Another thing to consider is like 10-20% of celiacs will react to oatmeal the same as gluten to some degree regardless of being gluten free.

    The elimination diet is a good route, garlic and onions give me issues when my gut is not happy (celiac or ulcerative colitis), high fiber foods and veggies in general were hard with my intestines causing gas and pain....I mean I was fine with smooth almond butter but rough veggies or just chewing nuts did not bode well. Are you fine with eggs? Not a meat...

    I did develop a issue with pea protein earlier this year causing some gastro issues. But the nuts/seeds are still in my diet without issues. I shifted away from flax and chia and rarely do I still use Hemp, the headache of getting stuff without issues was a problem. Still have some gerbs whole seeds that I sort the be sure and snack on sometimes or add to...

    Well Celiac never goes away, it is a genetic autoimmune disease (Gene can be dormant at birth but permanent once active). Sure the damage can heal in a year or so, but if you ever eat gluten the immune system will start attacking your intestines again and normally it is worse then it initially was. The other food issues trents mentioned should be considered...

    I have corn and dairy allergies among some others, I do get the red sores (mine are a bit more like blood blisters) in my mouth. But yes keeping antihistamines around is daily life. Some stores around here have a liquid version that taste awful but works faster/better. Food allergies are very common in celiacs, common ones are dairy, soy, legumes (peanuts...

    As mentioned Rye itself contains gluten, best thing I have been able to do was make homemade gluten free bread with gluten free flours and used caraway seeds to help with that flavor. I played with that nearly 5 years ago so I do not recall the recipes.

    Yes I misunderstood when you mentioned blood test assuming she had had recent blood work done that still showed high antibody counts, follow up test do need to be done to check if they are going down which seems they have from a follow up comment. The mentioning of the new food intolerance/sensitivity/allergy issues trent mentioned are really common...

    Hmm my perspective is really quite skewed, my mother made very little attempt to keep the house gluten free and would cause me to get sick constantly. I still to this day do not trust her with my food 6+ years later. Other random incidents have drilled it into and I only trust food I make myself in my own dedicated place. Your daughters is probably at this...

    The distention makes me think you could have gotten gluten in somehow, perhaps some contaminated cookware (cutting boards, colanders, scratched pots/pans, cast iron, wooden utensils, etc). Double check everything on this note and consider a elimination diet to see if it is a new food issue or if a condiment/food you thought was safe is not. Also do not trust...

    It would have to be ingested normally to trigger a reaction, that said even the dust that you get in your nose and drains into your stomach trapped in the mucus would trigger a reaction to some degree (We have seen this with flour dust in others). I used to work in a machine shop, dust mask did not matter, you were blowing black stuff out of your nose after...

    I had issues getting sick drinking coffee/espresso at some coffee shops and I always assumed some form of cross contamination, but drinking at home brewing myself from Christopher bean coffee and some stuff from the local grocery store never caused the issues. Although you might have a food sensitivity to coffee, or find your intestines just do not handle...

    Yep, not exactly the club you wanted but you got a lifetime membership. You can check the newbie 101 section to cover some basics, and you will have to start reading labels and getting used to the new diet. It is suggested to not eat out and go to a wholefoods only diet for a while to make it easier til you learn what is safe. You will probably mess up a...

    Back when I lived in a shared home I kept all my stuff in a different area and brought my stuff into the kitchen to cook hours before anyone else using my own pans. Others find keeping they personal food items in their own rooms easier to avoid contamination but would also serve to keep it separate. IE see about getting or setting up a little kitchenette...

    Found this with some research http://content.ju.st.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/JUST-Allergen-Information.pdf Shared Equipment so would be iffy. I used to use Spero foods scramble it but they discontinued it.

    To be honest going carnivore for me was the best diet. I had been paleo for years, stopped eating fruit due to blood sugar issues, then removed vegetables that caused issues with Ulcerative colitis....and finally removed nuts to save money. I am honestly doing better then I can ever recall energy wise and with how light I feel. When ever I go back to having...

    Well life has been crazy. I guess the biggest issue has been my truck I got so I could travel more and go to farmers markets with. I took it in with a extended warranty to get the A/C fixed and the engine started having problems. Warranty company told the dealership to take it apart so they could inspect but then declined be cause the truck was a ambulance...

    Look for paleo based granola that use nuts, seeds over grains, plenty of recipes for this and some companies make them premade but expensive.
  23. Ennis-TX
    You might try a elimination diet, try cutting down to 1-3 food items (nothing processed think plain meat, eggs no seasoning) and only eat that for a few days. Change them out 1 at a time every few days trying a different food item to see how you react. It is very common to celiacs to also get other food sensitivities. Heck some Celiacs react to oats just...

    I have used meal replacement shakes in the past for years, I recently just started adding pure beef protein isolate and egg white powders in shakes or mixing with gelatin and hot water to set into a pudding with added plain cocoa powder or cinnamon and sweeten with stevia/monk fruit extract, and this is just for a protein supplement after working out. It...
