Hi Deb I have a similar problem, but I think the ingredient I'm reacting to is magnesium sterate. I'm going to be patch tested in a couple of weeks time. Is this something you could do? It does sound like an allergic reaction that you're having. It is difficult to find stuff on the internet about this. Susie

If you are intolerant to them rather than actually allergic, you might try experimenting with cooking them. I'm definitely worse with raw onions. Onions that have been well cooked eg in the slow cooker, I am better with. It might be worth a try before you abandon them altogether!

My thyroid values are ok now (not sure what they are) so i don't think it's that. Vits - I only really take cal/mag/zinc. I am concerned about the B vits, but apparently my B12 level is considered normal (387), despite what I've read here that suggests that's on the low side. If the GP thinks its 'normal' I'm not sure what to do. I can take B tabs, but when...

what about depression? Has anyone had success in that going once gluten-free and, if so, how long did it take? I've been gluten-free 10 months and my recent endoscopy shows my intestines are much better, but the anxiety, depression iritability etc are still there. I had thought they were linked with the celiac disease, but maybe not? Would B12 help with these...

Now that I'm going public, I guess I'm committed to doing an elimination diet! I've been thinking of doing an elimination diet for a long time now, and thought it would be helpful to blog it - both for myself, and for others, as I know so many of us have issues with foods in addition to gluten. A little bit about me and how I got to this stage. ...

So why do I still get them? I'm wondering if having a low grade sore throat all the time is attributable to the stones and whether it means I should have my tonsils out or just wait to see if things settle down on the diet

Thanks ever so much Patti . Not very good with the searches here I'm wondering whether for me there could also be a dairy connection, as I have recently started having dairy again and have had other problems with it (mainly GERD). I had decided to go DF again and maybe that will be the answer. My tongue is also very yucky at the moment, so there...

I get horrible foul tasting and smelling accumulations of food and bacteria in my tonsils which I've just discovered from the web are tonsil stones. I frequently have a low grade sore throat with them. I was wondering whether anyone else has them here and if there could be a link with celiac disease from the point of view of having a compromised immune system...
