Hi Connie,

What was the symptom? Are you consuming dairy? Many celiacs don't

tolerate dairy very well, at least until they are healed. I'm so

sensitive, I can't even eat soy cheese if it contains casein. I get way

more symptoms from eating dairy than gluten. IMO, no one should eat

dairy after the age of 4, but I know there are some who will disagree

with that. To each his own :^)

Have you been eating any of those gluten free breads, cookies, etc? I

find I don't tolerate these well at all. I just can't ass-similate (ha

ha) bean flours or any of those gums they use.

I've been going paleo on and off for years, even before I knew about the

celiac thing. I have to admit to a real weakness for chocolate. I also

have a lot of trouble with fiber---too much salad, fruit, etc. is a

dis-ass-ter (ha ha) for me). I have found that the best diet for me is

a modified paleo, with a lot of cooked green vegetables, meat and eggs,

moderate amounts of rice or potato, occasional salad in the summer (once

or twice a week) and tiny amounts of fruit. No dairy at all.

Chinese-type food seems to sit best with me.

Most, I think. Wheat, rye oats and barley are all fairly new, last

10,000 years or so. Less than that for the far flung corners of

Europe. Corn, soy and rice are even newer, especially to Europeans.

New world plants (the Americas) include corn, tomatoes, potatoes, most

beans, and squash.

It's been hard for me because I'm one of those " silent celiacs " . The

only symptom I get when I ingest wheat is my ulcer pain comes back. And

that can take days to happen.

My sister used to be silent, also. But now, she is super sensitive.

I have been very bad lately and have gone off my diet several times this

year. It's been a bad year for me, with a lot of sickness and a death

in the family, and I admit to being a " comfort " eater. Not good, I

know.
