Anyone hear of this? It is when your allergic to gluten , wheat , rye, and hopps or some something? I am going to be tested for it! It will sure answer alot of my troubles if this is what I have. If I don't have it I guess we keep searching. I was just wondering if anyone here has it or has heard of it. I have looked on line and researched it, and whoa!! I am not sure I am ready to have something like this. So I was wondering if anyone has some inside info!! P.S. Not sure if this is in the right place, I won't be broken hearted if it gets moved

CF I hope I don't have it because it is a life of changing, eating habits, but at least they can eliminate 1 thing. Altho it would answer alot of problems! It isn't just bothering , it is bad!! I am allergic to alot of meds also, way to many to list tho.

I have heard of it. Do not know anything about it really. And these things are hard to trace down what is doing it.
I had diarrhea there for awhile and found it was corn syrup I was using on my pancakes. I was breaking out and I decided corn oil. I ran out of syrup and used butter and sugar on pancakes and it stopped. I do not use corn oil. I can eat cornmeal and that is degerminated and does not bother me. I like mush and fried mush. It could be because GMO. Never bothered me before.
Hope they find what is wrong.

I am looking at the back of every can, bag and everything eles!! even broth has gluten in it! Who'd of thunk that? Also fried things, pre packaged things ...Which I know I had a problem with fried things! Pass on the fries and chips!! Restaurants are big on gluten!! Thats why I have such problems when I eat out. It will be back to basics to me!! no flour, wheat, oats. Corn meal is ok tho .. It causes damage to the villi in the small intestine, makes it so you don't absorb vitamins and nutrients. feel bloated , sever diarrhea, brain fog, dizziness all kinds of stuff .... I read what it causes and yup I have most of it! Cannot w8 to get a test!!

OK I had my test and it came back negative! I was shocked!! I thought for sure!! But there can be a false negative! You can be Gluten sensitive, wich could be my prob . But I decided to forget the test!! For years!! I was on the Atkins diet! I felt wonderful!! So I decided just to watch what I eat!! Nothing out of a box, very little out of a can!! (No glutinized stuff) Eating all natural stuff, like meat that is not seasoned at the store, (Try and get Organic) fresh veggies and no noodles. In other words the least the processing the better!! So no to processed!! If I eat out I will try and get the least processed!! No pizza, no deep fried , no spaghetti unless I make the noodles! I have already lost weight!! I was in a size 14 , I went to a wedding, I had to go get something to wear, the pair of pants I bought was a size 8, a lil tight so I bought the size 8 and the size 10. I bought a shirt tried the 1xl , too big!! Tried the xl Too big!! So I tried the large!! It fit perfect!! I am full of energy since the 3rd day of my life changing diet!! I cannot believe it!! So my story is if you feel sluggish, no energy, cannot think!! No energy!! Try taking yourself off of the processed crap they have out!! It will make you feel so much better!!

Diet, what one eats sure does make a big difference. I had to go back to eating potatoes, bread , rice and pasta. Trying to keep my wt down. I was really going down hill and felt it so bad when I was out walking. I though maybe close to my end but it what I was eating. I feel so much better and can walk okay. I have to stick to my blood thinner diet of course. Which amounts to limiting my Vit K. Or take a lot more pills I guess. And we are all different. I do have to limit what I eat. You could be alleric to some food or seasoning. Right now I can not stand dark chocolate at all. It is very bitter to me.
Glad you are feeling better, W8.

Thanks Colorado, I can go for walks w/o feeling exhausted and thats a big plus! My diet is going pretty good!! Altho I am breaking out in hives! Not sure what is causing that! I didn't eat anything so not sure what it could be! Outside factors I guess!! This year and allergies!! pffttttt! So last night we had burgers and cheesie potatoes , I made the potatoes myself, afterwards we had strawberries and blue berries. Kids are still here, leaving tonight! They are being pretty good!! For ten and five y/o lol. Have to take them to breakfast beings I don't have anything for them to eat. There is a lil restaurant around the corner tho. All the farmers hang out there. I will see all my neighbors.

Food that never bothered before does now.
I have broke only once since I do not eat corn oil. Did not seem to be hives as big lumps. I read labels. I can eat corm meal as it is degerminated. Corn syrup gives me diarrhea. Only thing I can figure mayeb GMO now. Sweet corn is a different thing. I was eating pancakes and syrup for breakfast ever day. Ran out of syrup and the diarrhea cleared right up. How I found it.

Glad you are feeling great.
I was tired out last night. With being sick Sat. night and not really feeling good Sunday morning. But insides had settled down okay. I do not know wat caused that.. I made it through the day and had ice cream at about 3 as we head home. That would be sugar and protein. Lunch had been Mexican and I did not eat very much of it. I did eat the piece of hard candy they gave me. Lunch was half a chicken tomale and half cicken burrito and little rice and beans. I brought home a lot really of it. I did eat extra yesterday morning. Reg breakast and then couple coookies and piece of cheese snd small piece chocolate. My B/P was a little low I think. I figured could be a bit low on sugar. Our bodies can tell us if we listen. I had a bottle of drink too yesterday and not sure any sugar in it. Flavored water I think. It was good. Son picked it out. I knew need liquid in me. I had water at lunch. Normally do that when out. Protein is suppose to stablelize the sugar and not go UP and then DROP low. Makes it so much easier to stay away from sweets. I have not did that yet but about on all the rest of the diet. Most was on it a lot anyway. I have upped my protein a little. Not high protein at all. Spread it through the my 3 meals. What we eat sure does make a diference.

It sure does Colorado! I think I have hubbs talked into this diet I am on!! He said the other day how I had lost weight! I said well if you want to do it also you can! I am not going to push you into something you don't want to do!! I sad it is mostly just fresh food. Not a bunch of stuff out of cans and boxes! and bags!!! I bought some beef broth today, I wanted to make gravy! Can you believe they put Gluten in beef broth? I did find a kind that did NOT have any in it So I bought that kind!! Altho I am not on a gluten free diet. I am avoiding it as much as possible!! I did eat out to lunch today! I did fine , I had potato skins. I did great!! My friend say's will you eat the other half of my sandwich? I said no ! 1 it has bread , 2. it is laden with all that sauce!! I said I am not going to do it!! And I did great!! had a great time shopping!!!

Yeah,I can believe it. They put stuff in to foods you would think woud not have it. Soybean oil in chicken soup. Vitamin pills and what have you. Just read the labels. I can not see labels at times. They add sugar or worse corn syrup to things. I can have sugar but do not want corn syrup. This diet I put my self on says eat brown things, baked potato with the skin, whole wheat pasta and I donot like whole wheat pastas. Whole and multi grain breads I like. Slow carbs. So I am still on white rice and white pasta. I use white bread flour for baking when I do but the flat bread I am adding stuff to it so much better and tastes good.
