<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> hello, i'm only days old on this list, and a few weeks older at realizing i am very likely wheat/gluten intolerant. please bear with me if my post breaks any of the rules. i'm still reading them! i'm on an elimination diet right now to determine what else might be giving me problems, so figuring out what to eat is hard, and sort of boring. my vitamin powder (all one earth, and free of gluten, wheat, additives, etc.) likes to be blended into juice, which is usually orange. for the elimination diet i'm not eating citrus, so have started drinking R.W. Knudsen pineapple coconut juice instead. suddenly the gastrointestinal stuff flared up pretty big, and my mental equilibrium started to disappear again. i'm slow at understanding which additives are okay and which are not, so wonder if one of the 'natural gums' (xanthan, carrageenan, sodium alginate. locust bean) could be the culprit. i know this will all work out, but meantime i'm a bit frustrated and a little 'wiggy.' any help would be appreciated. thanks, joanna Joanna deFelice Oregon Career Information System [log in to unmask] 541-346-2327
