    Oh, this is hard! I have been eating a strict diet for about two weeks. I accidentally got glutened (not even sure how, but I am now am certainly getting separate pans, utensils, etc in our home, despite my very thorough washing, it is the only thing I can think of that caused my getting glutened - either something on the grill or the pan I used to cook...

    Flonase got back to me via email. I might give it a try, although it's so hard right now, since I just got glutened and am healing. I hate to try a product while still such a mess, although I am desperate for allergy relief. My chest is all congested and makes breathing uncomfortable. My nasal passages feel all constricted as well. I am full of phlegm...

    Thanks for the info. I have debated trying one of those for sinus issues, although always feel squeamish like you are getting a nose full of water, lol! But I am needing something also for allergies though. Someday I should brave up and try the neti pot for sinus issues, and I bet it does at least help clear out allergens in your nasal passages.

    Anyone use any over the counter (or prescription) allergy nasal sprays (ones that help with congestion) that are gluten-free? I am not sure sprays could contain gluten (or corn, or soy), but I now need to find out. I figured before I started my lengthy search of emails and phone calls to all the nasal spray companies, I would check to see if anyone here...

    I haven't tried that yet. Cauliflower has been making me bloat though. I hope at some point it won't. I had liked it with pasta sauce on it instead of noodles. But so far it still bloats me. Zucchini has too. Green beans and carrots seem to be my best bet (and beets) so far with veggies.

    Thanks for the info and the article on the gastritis. I feel miserable right now, so will read it later. I got some very good info from you on the whole stomach acid thing. It was very reassuring to read all the info you provided because it confirmed what I had been experiencing and feeling, and I knew I was not liking the dr's suggestion to remain on...

    Thanks so much, Ennis. I am writing these down right now and heading to the store soon. Hopefully I'll find one of them. Macadamia milk sounds good! Maybe someday I'll have to splurge and try it. I heard some people have issues with cashews, so maybe won't try those for a while. I was eating some Lara bars with cashews and am not sure yet how they do...

    Pizza, one of my issues too, lol! I have made a gluten-free pita pizza a few times so I at least get the taste of my homemade sauce, but it's just not the same. I smelled kambucha once, lol, it smelled harsh. I have only had a soda a few times the past year because of the corn syrup. I would love to find some maybe sold in health food stores made with...

    What gluten free aspirin brand do you all take? (If any?) I figure if I find a gluten-free brand, I can narrow down my search and start checking those gluten-free brands to see if any are also soy and corn free. I am allergic to ibuprofen, and Tylenol does nothing for me (and gives me a stomach ache to top it all off). Before being gluten sensitive, I...

    I was wondering if all almond milks were considered gluten free? I also can't have corn or soy, and was wanting to try some almond milk again, but not sure what brand would be best. Any suggestions for what works for you?
  11. LilyR
    I used to like smoked almonds, but I can't have corn or soy, so can't have. I also had a bag of regular, plain Blue Diamond almonds and seemed to get stomach ache and bloat any time I ate them, so I gave up on them. I thought I had read an article online saying they day some of their products don't contain gluten ingredients, but that they did not actually...

    I can't seem to eat much of the baked gluten-free items in the stores (like muffins, cupcakes, breads). So far the only gluten-free bread I have been able to eat is from a company called Against The Grain. I can eat their pita bread, which has ingredients like white rice flour and tapioca (if I remember correctly), and their bulkie style rolls (which have...

    I had a similar situation. I gave up gluten and after weeks, started feeling improvement. Then eventually things started getting bad again (although not as bad as when eating gluten). I apparently can't have soy either, and maybe corn (that one seems iffy, but seems best to avoid it as I figure it all out). And I had been using a butter sub too, and realized...

    Thank you both for replies. So it would be okay to try treating it with just diet, and it does not necessarily always cause problems, permanently? Like you can have bouts of it, but times when it's not causing any problems, or it goes away? I too hate taking meds unless really needed. My stomach dr had put me on a prescription for stomach acid, and I felt...

    Hmm, now I am a little more confused. Some articles I just read on gastritis mention also having H. Pylori. Other articles on gastritis do not mention H. Pylori. I believe when they did my endoscopy I did not have H Plyori, so would that mean I definitely don't have gastritis? Maybe that's not it. It could be more IBS then. Who knows. Sorry, I know...

    I was wondering if anyone with Celiac or a gluten sensitivity (I just have the sensitivity) has ever also had gastritis? If so, what types of foods/diet do you do when having a bout of gastritis? My dr did not say I have gastritis, but he also seemed to just want to chalk everything up to GERD. And I don't even have that anymore. Years ago I sometimes woke...

    I hope she finds help and relief soon. For me, I am noticing other than gluten, I seem to have to avoid all items with corn and soy ingredients. And wow, do those ingredients sneak into a lot of foods! Especially the corn, because there are many names of ingredients you would not know are derived from corn. (But yet it's tricky,because some people say...

    When I got the sudden bad stomach/digestion flare up last year (before I knew I had gluten sensitivity) I was having bad under arm odor. It was driving my crazy, and I assumed it was related to my health issues. I was really sick with a fever for a year and a half and so on. Once I stopped eating gluten, I have noticed the BO has greatly improved. This...

    I pray you get some answers and relief soon for your asthma and stomach issues. Your post caught my eye because lately the past few months I am wondering if I am coming down with asthma or allergy induced asthma, but my stomach issues have been bad too, so that does make me wonder if it causes breathing/lung issues? Are you having stomach distention or bad...

    Thanks for all the info. I didn't know Corona was made from corn. In addition to gluten, I can't have corn or soy either. That makes a lot of sense most regular beers don't want to associate with the gluten-free label, but it sure would be helpful. Even if they worded it as "always has been naturally gluten-free" but I suppose even that would have...

    I was just going to ask what people do when they accidentally get glutened, to help the pain and discomfort while waiting it out, and I saw this thread, which probably has the same answers I was looking for. Anyone know if Pepto has corn or soy product? I hate pepto. The few times I took it when I was younger, I'd always throw up after. Not sure if it...

    I just saw a news story about a girl who was so severely sick with celiac, and once diagnosed, she went on a gluten-free diet, but still kept getting sick. Come to find out it was because the family lived in a town/state that produces a lot of wheat, and apparently it is in the air. The family had to pack up and move to a state that does not product that...

    That is interesting. For me, I was tested several years ago with a blood test only, and it was negative (I wasn't having stomach issue then, more of fatigue and other issues, but they checked celiac with other bloodwork at that time). Then I had this awful stomach issue come up quick and awful last year and they did bloodwork for celiac, and that time it...

    Thanks for the suggestions. I haven'thad bourbon in years. So for mint just use whatever your tastebuds prefer? I used to always wonder if one mint was the typical one used, like if perhaps it's flavor went well with the flavor of the alcohol. Good to know it's versatile. I had dried chocolate mint once that was tasty. Too bad about the beer. It's been...

    I have issues with gluten, but also corn and soy. I have found that some of the Haagen Dazs flavors don't have any corn or soy. You can look at their website and it gives ingredients for every single one of their flavors. Sadly, I have not been able to find any popsicles or Italian ices that don't have corn syrup or some other ingredient in them I can't have...
