    For long trips I used to put a chemical toilet (uses chemicals in the black tank to break down waste and seals air/liquid tight and yes they flush with a hand pump) in the back seat of my SUV with the middle row removed and a hunters blind in it meant to cover a chair. I never ended up using it and always made it to a gas station, but it was there in case...

    Ataxia, I ended up with gluten ataxia and for me it exposures caused numbing of the extremities, damaged the nerves to my pancreas and digestive system, some brain damage and would have other motor control issues randomly after a exposure.

    IMO I Agree with this, gluten and grains are not meant for humans, and we should follow the paleolithic (Paleo) diet of our ancestors for better health. There are some points here your right on, it is addictive and many of us getting off it for celiac have suffered withdrawal symptoms very much like trying to get off drugs. And it is often used as a cheap...

    It can take me months to get over a exposure, I do best on a keto diet personally, as I have glucose issues and it had other effects on my other digestive conditions it. Many find that carbs, starches, sugars cause gas and bloating and that spices, and fibrous foods can be too harsh on a damaged intestines on top of the common intolerance issues mentioned...

    I became very paranoid after finding out that gluten was what was making me sick and had me running a bucket list thinking I was dying before being diagnosed. I would get very agitated and feel the fight or flight response to the smell of fresh baked bread, pizza, cookies etc. for about a year. I just associated it with pain, vomiting, and being sick so the...

    The throat and chest tightness I have seen somewhere else on the forum from another member, I can not recall what it was but there was a medical term for it. The testing for celiac requires you to be eating gluten daily at least 1-2 slices of bread worth for 6-8 weeks (12 used to be the normal) for the blood test, they then confirm with a endoscopy and...

    The Biopsy is needed to check for damage to the small intestines and confirm how much damage you have done to your intestines. It gives the best idea to the stage of damage, as you can not tell this from a blood test. I imagine your doctor judged the stage by secondary issues that normally develop with long term intestinal damage. Here is some stuff on it...

    I am keto myself and paleo (Diary and Grain Free). Even now my digestion is really a mess, easiest things for me to keep down are eggs, bone broths, seed/nut butters smooth (blend in water for homemade non dairy milk without filler), avocados, bacon (thin) and some meats...meats I crock pot 10-12 hours or pressure cook in the instapot...and right now blend...

    So life has been crazy and busy, I got a new truck, a retired ambulance to be honest and have been working on modifications to work as a RV and a work truck. Ran into a bunch of issues the previous owner forgot to mention about the engine...Bad A/C Compressor, Fuel filters way past change time, fuel leak (leaking on top of engine...yes I am driving it with...

    Spices.. I like Big Axe spices blends due to no salt myself, I used to use Flavor God before they did the huge price hike years ago. I have also used McCormick for some individual spices...I honestly feel iffy about their blends. But like many I buy many of mine form Spicely in the bulk club packs to save. I tend to order my Almonds straight from Alldrin...

    Have you tried pinpointing the issue by trying sunflower seed spread plain or just sunflower oil? I thought on several occasions I had issues with sunflower based products but I am completely fine with the Organic Sunbutter Spread. I have 2 assumed issues with it, rancid seeds/oils, and texture. I know plain sunflower seeds make me vomit but my stomach can...

    Started more resistance training and weight training, went to a high protein take of a keto diet. For protein powders I found issues with many and I have seen significant muscle increase changing to Beef Protein Isolate, Egg White, Collagen, bone broth and Pumpkin Seed Protein. I use smooth nut/seed butters like Almond, Pumpkin Seed, Hazelnut, Macadamia,...

    I was already quite low with little endurance, it slowly improved over the next year, do note before getting diagnosed I was going through hell with random issues on different days ranging from full motor control loss, being driven mad by my brain not working right, random bouts of pain leaving me in the fetal position for full days.....I was running a bucket...

    Typically the Vitamin E derived from wheat has had the proteins people react to removed. Much like me with my corn allergy many things made from corn have been processed so the protein that my immune system reacts to is not present anymore. | I use BagBalm for really dry skin...very old proven skin moisturizer and it can even soften dry hard calluses. https...

    Never went to a "gym" always felt on edge there and only used hotel ones at 4am when no one else was. What invested in a few years after I got diagnosed was a set of resistant bands, a stationary bike (late got a under desk elliptical, and I found a Bowflex Home Gym Extreme 2 for 250 on ebay in great shape. Started daily HITT in the mornings and various...

    I am a fan of both products but use them a bit differently. I do not eat out anymore except at Across the Pond up in North Richland Hills where the owner has celiac in the family. The way I use the Nima is to test new products I am trying packaged, like a new brand of a baking ingredient, spice, marinade, etc. Also always test a bit from bulk orders...

    Running a gluten free bakery before starting my catering taught me to only say my stuff is paleo unless they mention gluten. If I say gluten out right they will not even try it...I had so many people say they like their gluten but not even know what gluten was..... It is the wheat stalk with grains on it and a circle cross through symbol of some kind...

    5 years before my body started letting me actually bulk up, I was weight training most of the time but my body only crept up in weight about a lb a year average. I have but on 15lbs of muscle and maintaining 9-12% body fat in the past year. I changed my diet alot and now use a keto diet and be sure to eat 2500-3000cal a day for my 140-150lb self (used to...

    With ataxia avoidance is the only way to prevent it. Mine attacks my nervous system and brain, and last major CC damaged the nerves to my pancreas so carbs have to be avoided now and I have to take pig pancreas enzymes with meals. there is some other brain and nerve damage, and they slowly heal will probably be decades if ever that I regain the ability to...

    Dear god yes lol, I have a corn allergy and the starch is hit miss if it triggers a reaction, but they could also be from rice, or tapioca....seriously they need to go the route of many shampoos/body washes that list the chemical/ingredient then in parenthesis have the source

    I ended up with similar diet issues and allergies, I went to the paleo diet of just eating meats, nuts, seeds, veggies, I omit stuff like sweet potatoes, starchy veggies, and fruit since I also can not have carbs. But look up paleo recipes since they do not use grains most recipes are gluten free or easily modified.

    Try Ground Flax Seeds like by Gerbs Allergen Friendly Foods. Whole flax seeds do not break down well and can clump up. They might be irritating your gut, a ground version can be easier broken down and does not form rough clumps. Psyllium Husk is good in baked goods but same thing used ground, and it will also clump up and slow digestion a bit. IT does...

    OH we have a few of those bars like Primal Chocolate here, pure dark with coconut flakes and a keto butter one I have yet to try. They also have some sugar free bars that a bit more processed, like Lilly's Baking bar (has soy and is sweetened with erythritol and stevia) and Lakanto (taste like a hershey but sweetened with erythritol and monk fruit extract...
