Hi gluten-freecuredmycrohns,
thank you for the advice. I have been told this before, I think I may try this once and for all, just have to make sure I am home to be able to follow it correctly.
Thank you for your reply

Hardest part is not being able to just grab a sandwich quickly when you're starving. I prefer Uti's bread, but they're all yucky. I was a pasta, bread, whole wheat junky, so this was really difficult for me--seems you never get full. Regular corn taco chips and corn tortillas are wheat free as is Kelloggs Rice Crispies. My homemade pizza is on a taco chip now!! It's a good thing I like tacos and can eat dairy. Stock up on meat, cheese, veggies and fruit you can eat quickly. Look for Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Mighty Tasty Hot Cereal...be careful not to choose the plain organic style. Your digestive system needs the whole grain to move it thru properly. He also makes a decent Pancake Mix...all are expensive. You are correct to be sure you are ready to start a gluten-free diet and stick to it for a week or so, but you will be amazed at how it does a body good. Best of luck.

Hi, my other problem is I am lactose intolerant. so the cheese part will not be good for me, but I am thinking maybe without the wheat I can eat the cheese, hum might be worth a try is my thought. I know I did read that even ketsup and corn flakes have wheat in them or frozen french fries that you really have to read the ings. I can see where this would take some planning.
Thank you again and have a wonderful day.

FYI, foods CANNOT be labeled gluten-free if they are manufactured on equipment where they also mfgr wheat products. Gov't is establishing guidelines now. Read labels, like regular Kellogg's Rice Crispies do not state gluten-free, but there is no wheat in them, as an ingredient. Minor amounts in ketchup, french fries, etc. I've had no problem eating. Rice Chex and Corn Chex are gluten-free too, as are Chinese Rice crackers. My limited knowledge of lactose intolerance is it can be two-fold. Either you lack the enzyme to digest the sugar in dairy or you cannot digest the fat in the dairy....or both. Easy test is to only drink 8 oz. of fat-free milk first thing in a.m. and wait 4-5 hours to see how you feel. If you get crampy, you lack the enzyme, so eat yogurt daily. If you don't get crampy, you can't digest the fat, so eat fat-free dairy. It's worth a try. Good luck to you.
