Boneless, skinless chicken breast, drizzle with a little olive oil, season with garlic salt, pepper, thyme, and bake at 350 for 1 hour.
Baked white potato or sweet potato. Bake in the oven at 375 for an hour or prick with a knife and microwave for 8 minutes. If you are suspecting dairy, you can drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil on your baked white potato and add salt/pepper
Canned green beans
I have to run some errands, but I'll jump back on when I get home with some more ideas.

As far as catching on to the elimination thing, just start out eliminating 1 thing at a time. Otherwise you'll really have yourself in a tizzy.
After gluten, eliminate dairy, (most of us with food intolerances have an intolerance to casein in the dairy products, which is the protein part of dairy. So, that means eliminate all dairy. Then usually the next intolerance is soy.
Think meat, vegetables, fruits. Nothing processed, meaning a meal that comes out of a box, luncheon meats, etc...
Since they passed the new food labeling law, it helps quite a bit when having to read labels,like we have to, checking the ingredients.
They now have to list the most known food allergies.

Do you have a Whole Foods, or health food store near where you live???
That sure would be a big help for you.
Think about products that have wheat flour, breads, pastas, cakes, doughnuts, pies, and yes, pretzels.
Check the labels on any staples that you would nomally buy at the grocery store.
Let me know what things like tomato sauce, pasta sauce, soups, toothpastes, any thing that you buy at the store.
Just a starter and I'll ask more !!!!!

hmmm...Hunts tomato sauce, Ragu pasta sauce, Sensodyne toothpaste, Campbells or progresso soups
i do have a health food store about 40 minutes away. I think I will have time to go there next Saturday. I've already started a list. How about Baked Lays potato chips? Hubby just came running in to tell me that he thought I would want those. (he went to the store since I had to come right home from work and was unable to stop anywhere that would prolong getting to the bathroom (sigh)
So, I'm not real big on packaged foods in the first place so I'm thinking about just foods in their natural state. What about cheese, until I start with the no dairy? I've been on and off the Weight Watchers plan forever so I suppose I am having a difficult time adjusting the thinking of low fiber compared to their High fiber, whole grain plan.
But, everyday I get more information, thanks to you and this site and i'm starting to feel like I can probably do this. Baby steps!

Lay's Classic Potato Chips are safe, (only potatoes, sunflower oil, and/or corn oil, and salt), with no preservatives, so surely the baked chips should be safe, though I haven't checked the label on them.
Cheese has high casein, and low lactose, when compared with milk.

Babsey,
Well, I think that most of us who are gluten sensitive, are also casein sensitive - certainly more than half of us. The only ways to be sure are to get the Enterolab test, or to try an elimination diet.
If I were trying to stop the D, (and all the other symptoms), I would certainly cut out casein, (which is in all dairy products), in addition to gluten. If I don't notice any significant improvement after a few weeks, I would also cut out soy.

Okey Dokey.
I'm not as achy and dizzy and tired today as I was yesterday, so I'm enjoying it, even if it's only for a few hours.
I ate chicken breat (plain) and a baked potato last night and i skipped my 32 oz morning coffee this morning and instead had gatorade and I feel better right now!
I've also ordered the "gluten free living for dummies" book! LOL
Hope you're feeling 100% today and having a great day!

It sounds as though you're definitely on the right track. 
I'm not sure if I'm feeling 100% today, but I'm close enough that I'm not going to worry about the difference. We're having such nice weather today, (it finally cooled down, and the humidity has dried out), that it would be hard for me to not be in a great mood.
I hope you can keep feeling better and better, now that you've got the diet working for you.
Thanks,
Tex
