Paleo/primal

I did not initially look into this, it just turned out that how I was eating was called Primal.  The only difference between the two is that IF you are able to consume dairy products, primal is fine with it and some chocolate and/or wine here and there. They both eschew grains.  The only grain I CAN eat seemingly safely (without getting very sick) seems to be white rice.  I experimented with corn a few weeks ago and it was still a no go.  What I love is that I can still make (and even buy) grain free breads and make wonderful "pastas" that a so much more healthy anyway. I do not have a choice in skipping the pre made foods but I think I will probably not go back to it even if/when I am healed enough to handle corn anyway.  I just wont be so petrified to eat out! 

 

here is a great Primal resource and I have gone through all of the books too.  Its a full lifestyle change from food to exercise but I mostly just deal with the food portion. I feel so much better and mroe alive now that I may begin some sort of physical training though!

There are tons of Paleo places to visit too. These two things are surely very fad controlled but GREAT for people who cannot tolerate gluten nor corn nor any other grains.

 

 

I will have to dig up the websites to learn how to make a lot of types of noodles with the spiralizer (I LOVE THAT THING) as well as places like Against All Grain Open Original Shared Link

 

I am so..haha..."skilled" at making things Paleo/Primal now that I even enjoy The Pioneer Woman and the ease with which her recipes are adaptable. :D

That's great! 

 

I am happy for you that you are making it work :) 

 

My daughter and I have candida

and so we have to eat Paleo style as well as gluten-free (or mostly gluten-free) diet, combined.

 

It does get tricky (and the kind of meat we can afford is limited) to merge the two, when on a fixed income. 

 

 

Thanks for sharing.

      Looking for recommendations, most have “unsafe” oat ingredients

      @cristiana, milk is also a good source of magnesium, another very important nutrient in nervous system/mood health.

      @cristiana, no, I'm asking if, when you eat out, do you actually experience symptoms of gluten exposure apart from any consideration of blood antibody test scores?

      Like you, I was a silent celiac. I was largely asymptomatic insofar as GI symptoms were concerned. The first real evidence, retrospectively, of having celiac disease was the development of mildly but persistently elevated liver enzymes which initially was discovered when I tried to donate blood at age 37. That was in about 1987. Of course, my PCP checked me for all the hepatitis varieties but cold not find any reason for the elevated liver enzymes. I was also slipping into mild anemia by the time I was in my late 40's and had developed some occasional loose stool and oily stool. My PCP had no clue. I was really concerned about the liver enzymes as they were steadily increasing though never got to alarming levels. My PCP threw his hands up and said during one office visit, "I don't know why your enzymes are elevated. Maybe that's just the way your are." Well, that was not a satisfactory answer. This was about year 2000 and it was not well known that one of the atypical symptoms of celiac disease is elevated liver enzymes. In fact, it happens in about 18% of celiacs. Finally, I booked an appointment with a GI doc who tested me right away for celiac disease and I was positive, both for blood work and biopsy. Within a few months of eliminating gluten my liver enzymes had normalized. But it took 13 years to get a diagnosis. And by that time I had developed osteopenia. Sorry for the long-winded story. My point is, celiac disease can be very slow in developing. By the time symptoms manifest themselves to the extent where they get your attention such that you seek testing, much damage can already be done to body systems. You and your son are very smart to be be pursuing this thing early in his life and let me encourage you, that whatever the next round of testing reveals, you continue to get testing done on a regular basis.

      Initially I was going to re-post all of the threads that have people stating they drink or recommend RO water.  There are just too many to post, so I'll recommend using the search feature here to find them all.  There are currently 4 pages worth of posts with people mentioning or recommending RO water/filtration systems.  Granted, some of the search results are from this thread. For me, it causes major issues with my stomach and as mentioned, there is no way I will ever intentionally drink it again.  As we know, everyone's body is different.  I am certainly not looking for a debate, but do highly advise anyone considering RO water to do their own research. Consider starting with this Google search:  Is reverse osmosis water safe to drink long term?
