    Wow All those types of almond butter sound amazing! I would definitely buy some from you! I've made homemade peanut butter one time, but haven't tried almond butter. It'd probably be waayyy cheaper to make it yourself. Right now, I'm actually doing the Paleo AIP diet which excludes all nuts. I've been cheating a bit with the pbutter. But I think I...

    Hey Ennis. I realize that unfortunately PB is not paleo And I love almond butter but is more expensive so don't buy it all the time. Good to know that jiff is supposed to be safe, but other things have gotten me before (that's supposed to be safe) so it's hard to trust anything.

    Do any of you super sensitives react to peanut butter? I've been eating Jif Naturals PB for last 2 weeks or so. It seems like it may be making my nerve pain worse. My C has been better though since I've been eating it again---go figure I eat paleo diet and don't eat hardly any certified Gluten-Free products because it seems like I react to even 20 or ...

    Can you girls out there recommend a safe gluten free face primer? I have sort of blotchy skin and larger pores that I need a primer for. I have combination skin, sorta dry but shiny in the t-zone. Drugstore or higher end suggestions are welcome. Thanks!!

    Thanks for tips, I'll try sometime

    Sounds interesting....funny thing, yesterday I found my grandmother's old recipe box and she had a recipe for Indian pudding (which I've never heard of). I was thinking how do I convert it to paleo to try this recipe?? And here you posted your recipe today! I'm gonna have to try it soon. Thanks for sharing your recipes.

    Thanks C-Lady. I'd like to have my mom push for full panel but pretty sure she won't. She's not too keen on going gluten free anyway after seeing how careful and strict I have to be. (She likes her restaurants!) I've told her countless times that she may end up a lot worse--like me--but she doesn't get it at this point in time. ? I was tested for...

    A little background: I am not a diagnosed celiac even though some of my villi were flattened during endoscope (even though I had been gluten free for a few months before test--yep, did things a** backwards), but the 5 biopsies taken were negative. Which didn't really surprise me. I also have almost EVERY symptom of celiac I've ever seen listed...
  9. Jen1104
    Yep, good idea about thermos. I plan on definitely doing that!

    Today, I told my manager that I have a wheat allergy instead of having to explain celiac to her when she asked why I was cleaning off the desk. She half way scoffed/laughed when I told her this, soooo I get the opinion she probably doesn't care too much about my situation, lol. I'm just gonna keep cleaning the space well, not use the microwave anymore and...

    Nope Squirmingitch, not a diagnosed celiac unfortunately. I was already on Gluten-Free diet for 6 months when I had an endoscopy/colonoscopy (didn't know I had to keep eating gluten when I started diet on my own). I had some flattened villi that the dr saw with endoscope even after 6 mo, but the biopsies were normal. Recently, after a year on diet...

    Hey Ennis, Sorry you've had such crappy coworkers, but glad you got away from it! People can be cruel sometimes. I'm not sure if my new job is going to work out. If I would've known people ate at their desks and that we shared those desks, I dont think I would've taken the job. I feel I'm verrrry sensitive to gluten. Yesterday, there were huge amounts...

    Thanks! Ennis- I don't know if I could use a gas station microwave, you're braver than i am! But maybe it's not much different than sharing one at work. Maybe it was the buttons or handle on microwave that got me. I didn't think of that. I'll have to be even more careful. Ugh Squirmingitch- Thanks for reply. Yes, I did use paper towels from work...

    Hi all, Just started a new job recently. One of my coworkers put food in the microwave for about 10 minutes (didn't see what it was at the time). Then, I proceeded to warm up my food. Mine was in a tupperware plate with paper towel on bottom and on top and with the lid placed loosely on top. About an hour after I ate, I felt a bit dizzy, heart racing...

    I eat peanut butter every day so definitely don't have an issue with peanuts, but good idea. I'm thinking it was the fish food too as I feel like I'm very sensitive! I must have ingested it somehow or inhaled it (as it had sort of a powdery dustiness to it). I am feeling better tonight after 3 days of hell. Thanks for your replies.

    Hi, Three days ago, I ate half a bag of peanut M&Ms. I've been gluten free for about a year and occasionally eat regular M&Ms, but not the peanut ones. (I have no issues eating the regular ones) Since then, I'm extremely tired, worse neuropathy, shaky, pain behind eyes, nauseous, vomited today, etc. Not good! The m&ms are about the only...

    Thanks for your thoughts guys! Ennis- Yep, I've had some of my vitamin levels checked: magnesium, calcium, iron, B6 and B12. Only thing low was B12 (180, with range being 200-800) and I've been taking sublingual B12 for 6 mo. Last testing showed it was 780, but no improvement in my symptoms really. Thanks for the link on the elimination diet...

    Hey everybody, This may be a dumb question but I'm gonna ask it anyway. A little background: I believe I may have celiac as I've had all kinds of weird and painful symptoms for many years. I have been gluten free for a year (very strict, follow paleo diet--no grains or dairy) and I rarely eat any of the processed gluten free foods. A...

    Hey Ennis, Looks like a good lotion being gluten-free and more natural. Yeah, who likes the ones that turn you ghostly white?! Not a good look for anybody. I wonder if there are any safe OTC lotions that you can buy at Walmart, etc? It'd be nice to smell before buying as my nose is sooo sensitive!
  20. Jen1104
    Thanks for all the suggestions. I just found Sun Bum and like it for body but it's a bit of a strong fragrance for the face! I'll look into Cal Baby and Shiseido. Any other favorites, please share. I put spf 50 on today and burned a bit, think I need something higher! Not sure what happened to the tan I used to be able to get. Seems I'm...
  21. Jen1104
    Thanks Ennis. Haven't heard of that brand but will check it out!
  22. Jen1104
    Thanks Tessa for the suggestion. I'll look into it. I used to use Proactiv. Is that 30 spf? I probably need something 50 spf or higher. I tend to burn. Perfume makes me sick and headachy too.
  23. Jen1104
    Hey everyone, Can you guys please help me find suntan lotion that is gluten-free? I'm needing lotion for my face that is scent-free or light scent as I'm sensitive to fragrances, and preferably on the cheaper side (but any suggestions are welcome!) Thanks for your help Jen

    Cyclinglady, Thanks for your response too. I have read (on this lovely site probably) what you were saying about the genetics test. I would at least be able to rule celiac out, I realize I can't exactly rule it in if I have the genes. Not able to do a gluten test, seems like I get craaaazy sick off of a crumb! I wouldn't last a day! The...

    Thanks for your reply, Dee. I checked out the book you mentioned on amazon. Seems interesting, may have to purchase that one. I've changed my diet completely over last year or two. I used to eat fast food every day, sometimes twice a day--sooo BAD I know! I eat almost completely unprocessed now - meat, veg, fruit, nuts, some pbutter & dark chocolate...
