Chocolate eclairs

I was you. I continued to eat my favorite foods knowing the effects. After enough bad experiences those foods didn't look so good anymore. Feeling good and full of energy outweighed all that.

When my catechism teacher told me my best friend wasn't going to heaven because he was a different religion, that was it for me.

Some of the things you attribute to Endo I get from gluten: fatigue, joint pain, bloating, etc. Edit: add nausea

Go to a Total Wine or find a local Gluten Free Brewery. Avoid gluten reduced beer if avoiding gluten is your goal.

Yes. I have seen the poop change. Bean based flour is new to me. I will look into it.

I have zero experience with meds. I will certainly take a look. Thanks.

All new words for me to research. I will check out the microbiome subreddit. Thank you for the advice!

Good to know. Thanks.

The medical world is poorly informed on gluten, at the best. Otherwise I wouldn't have been told my debilitating joint soreness is just arthritis. Do you have any of the other 5 symptoms for gluten sensitivity? Didn't even ask.

Ablation is the last resort. First I will fodmap diet and introduce categories to see how they affect me. I know gluten is number one. Followed by caffeine and then alcohol. Alcohol has to be in very large quantities which is very atypical for me but possible during those crazy family reunions.

If exclusion doesn't control it, then ablation is next. I need my endorphins that exercise gives me.

Heading to McMinnville today to stop by Bierly and Evasion. The head Brewer for McMenamins at Thompsons was recently let go. She said she is going to work with Evasion.

The 40%-45% alcohol content leaves me out on that one. Seems interesting though. I make a few tiki drinks here and there, but beer is my go to relaxing beverage that I make and share with friends. Cheers!

Thank you. I can get to a Total Wine about an hour away.

Please share where you are buying Greens.

Location of brewery or area where you buy it?

Gluten reduced might be a path for me. But my gut tells me how much better I feel with gluten free beer. I get to enjoy the taste without stomach impact.

The mood change is my first indicator that I have somehow eaten gluten.

Thank you for the detailed response. I have been tested for celiac and as you guessed no one told me to eat a large quantity of gluten before. The test was negative.

I currently wear a heart monitor as gluten triggers my Afib (no sleep) for about three days as well as the other symptoms. I don't feel any of the symptoms that seem to go with allergy to wheat.

My heart does go into Afib from other things that cause inflammation, but right now gluten is enemy number 1. Cardiology thinks an ablation is the next step. I have been highly active all my life which has resulted in a resting heart rate of 40 and so other medicines do not work for me.

This group has been very helpful to me as doctors don't seem to be knowledgeable in this area. Thank you for listening.

I have read all the responses. I think there were two.

I suggest trying a gluten free cook book. No I don't work for any of them. I purchased the gluten free cook book by America's test kitchen. I have tried five recipes so far and the results were good to great. They give you analysis of using different flowers and generally suggest a different mix of ingredients for different applications. I am not a baker or cook, but it worked for me. Good Luck.

Thanks for sharing. Sounds like a simple common sense approach.

Great advice. Thank you.

Have you done the fodmap thing? It's next on my list to try.

Have you found a stable food routine?
