Yup....and for desert last night I melted strawberry sorbet. :P

I miss my melted ice cream! :(

Yeah, but with this other stuff, you don't need to go to the trouble! It's like already melted ice cream! :lol: I tasted it and said it tasted like melted ice cream, then one of my kids said, yeah that's what I said! I then said, I've GOT to tell Rachel about this stuff!

Then I was thinking, she's Mexican, she might already know about it!

LOL...yeah but Carla....I'm a really "white" mexican! :P

When the customers at work start talking to me in spanish I just look at them like this :huh:

I actually do know what horchata is...but I've never had it! I'm sure I would totally LOVE it....even better than my melted ice cream.

I'm gonna put it on my "to try" list for when I'm tolerating more things. Who knows it might be soon with my enzymes! :D

I was pretty sure I already knew you didn't speak Spanish! LOL But I thought that maybe some of your older relatives might have had some more traditional foods. :D I hope you can try it soon. If I can find some in Ohio, I'm sure you can find some there!

That's really hysterical about the customers expecting you to speak Spanish! :lol: :lol:

You would love this stuff ... I KNOW you would. It tastes like melted ice cream! I had had it before, but it was at a Mexican "wanna-be" restaurant. This place we're going to now is authentic!

Nope...its my dad thats mexican. My family is huge on that side but I dont see them since I was a kid.

My ex is mexican (well a few of my exes are) so I've eaten plenty of traditional stuff...just not horchata. :(

My enzymes seem to be working a miracle so I'm hopeful that it wont be long. :)

The one I'm currently taking is specifically for breaking down phenols but the enzyme (which is used in high amounts) also happens to fight candida....causing die off. An enzyme high in proteases can help to digest the dying yeast...limiting the die-off reactions.

would you happen to know an enzyme high in proteases? i feel like if i have to get rid of candida, i can't take a bad die-off, i can barely walk around and these neuro symptoms are too much, i wouldn't want to end up in the hospital :lol:

i was looking too and i saw this "Dr Rosemary Waring found that most people with autism conditions have a deficiency in a key detoxification pathway."

detox issues came up, do you think having problems with that can cause a lot of neuro/mental problems? because it sounds like that would make sense, and i feel like those issues are much worst than the rest...and a few pages back, you posted the smallest sulfur thing can cause nerve/brain problems, and that could be a reason why i'm not detoxing right, right?

glad to hear about everything going well with you though! i didn't even think recently that when your immune gets so burdened, basic body functions break down and it could be such simple things to help on

That sounds so fun! My dad is an only child and my uncle is not married .... so I have NO cousins!!!! Not nearly as fun as a large family! That's why I had to have so many kids, LOL!

LOL, Kassandra! I've had is somewhere else and it wasn't as good as this kind, so I think there's a wide variety of tastes to it, but I don't think there's any getting around the melted ice cream taste! I liked it, but a small glass would be all I could handle.

Ok this is totally off topic but i trust what you guys have to say and i had to get this out and didnt want to post this on the main forum anywhere.

Tommorow we go to court against my stepsons mom. She is going to be sentenced to 6 months in jail for not paying child support. I can give her a get out of jail free card and ask her to sign him over to me. I have wanted this for a very long time. But now i sit here and feel sorry for her, the only thing she really has her son, even tho she has not seen him 2 years. He talked to her last night and she said some things i dotn even want to repeat here, just in case anyone sees this that knows me or her lol. I just dont know what to do. If anyone wants more to the story you can PM me.

If she's saying abusive things to your/her son, then send her to jail. If she's a good mother aside from the money issues, let her see him.

Mercy is not a bad thing ... unless it harms the welfare of the child. Protecting a child from a bad parent is not bad either.

This is a complicated issue .... there are questions like, why hasn't she paid? Why hasn't she seen him?

Can you have her wages garnished instead? I know (because my husband is a business owner) that this is done.

Good luck, this is a difficult decision.

If you want, you can PM me more info and I can give you a more solid opinion. :)

Can you ask her to sign him over to you and still have her go to jail? Or can you only do one or the other?

Thanks carla, i think you are right and i even just talked to ss counselor and she agrees. She did the crime now its time she does her time. Now to see if its best for him to see her in jail or not which they will talk about in counseling tonight.

Yep kassandra, its just one or the other. But we are going to let her go to jail.

I dont need a piece of paper saying that he is mine, cause i know he is mine in every way that counts.

Paula, based on what you PM'd me, you made the right decision. She deserves jail.

If she doesn't see him now, why should she see him when she's in jail?

At 14 I'm sure he knows whether he wants to see her. If he wants to, he probably should ... but if he doesn't, then he shouldn't be forced to. I mean, does he even KNOW her?

That is what hubby said she should not be able to see him, but i told him it has to be his choice, he is old enough to decide. The only bad thing is at his age an adult/parent has to go with him and hubby works during those visiting hours, so that means i have to be there with the 4 other kids which is not good for the other kids.

That is why i want the counselor to talk to him and see what he wants, cause if we ask him, he will say no, but maybe deep in his heart or mind he wants to. At least he does not have to be afraid she will kidnap him (which she has done)

I think i have spent more time in a month with him, then she has in the last 12 years. So no he hardly knows her, tg for that.

Back from Pincushion Monday. But wait! There's more!

In addition to what I've already been tested for, I reacted to: almonds, coffee, garlic, green peas, tomatoes, green peppers, celery, sesame, garbanzo beans (chick peas), mushrooms, cabbage, strawberries, and spinach.

Fortunately, my reactions to these weren't too bad. They're considered moderate.

So I have an appt with the Holistic MD next week to go over my allergy testing and to set up a diet plan that takes all this into account, as well as the candida diet.

I've decided to hold off freaking out until then.

Im in the process of looking into get an Ro water system for the whole house. But they are so expenisive, does anyone know a place were they are more affordable then 3,000 and up. Or do i need an whole house filter, or would i be ok with an filter in the kitchen and in the bathoom shower.

Paula, RO for the whole house is excessive. You are only going to drink some of the water, so you don't need it all purified to that level.

We have a whole house purifier and and RO for the kitchen. We also have a water softener. There is a separate faucet in the kitchen for the RO .... the RO is also attached to the ice maker and the water in the refrigerator.

I really don't remember what it cost. I know the softener was expensive, but I don't think the whole house filter and the RO was as much as you are talking about.

Nyxie, sorry about the allergies. Are you having all this sent to L. and Dr. H? I'm just curious what they think of it all.

I've usually made a milk shake with ice cream and milk, not by melting ice cream. ;)

It sounds like you're making the right decision Paula. :) It sounds like a tough one to make. We have had some custody issues and child support stuff and it has been hard for my mom to make decisions about how to pursue these kinds of things.

In addition to what I've already been tested for, I reacted to: almonds, coffee, garlic, green peas, tomatoes, green peppers, celery, sesame, garbanzo beans (chick peas), mushrooms, cabbage, strawberries, and spinach.

OMG! You react to EVERYTHING! I can't wait to hear what your holistic MD has to say! LOL! :lol: I would LOVE to hear what s/he says for you to eat! Let us know, okay?

Well I am very discouraged :(

My outbreak kept going and going, it turned from hives into full blown angioedema, and it was as severe as they have always been.

I am obviously not able to detox and I can't get on with treatment until I am able to detox :(

I'm sorry Julie .... what about trying cholestyramine? It is often used to bind toxins in those with trouble detoxing.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Just a gluten free diet is not enough.  Now you have to identify and replenish your malnutrition.  Celiac disease is co-morbid with malabsorption syndrome.  Low vitamin D, Low Thiamine caused Gastointeston Beriberi, low choline, low iodine are common the general population, and in newly diagnosed Celiacs in the western culture its is more likely.  It takes time to heal and you need to focus on vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free foods are not fortified like regular processed foods.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By Sarah Grace · Posted

      Dear Kitty Since March I have been following your recommendations regarding vitamins to assist with various issues that I have been experiencing.  To recap, I am aged 68 and was late diagnosed with Celiac about 12 years ago.  I had been experiencing terrible early morning headaches which I had self diagnosed as hypoglycaemia.  I also mentioned that I had issues with insomnia, vertigo and brain fog.   It's now one year since I started on the Benfotiamine 600 mg/day.  I am still experiencing the hypoglycaemia and it's not really possible to say for sure whether the Benfotiamine is helpful.  In March this year, I added B-Complex Thiamine Hydrochloride and Magnesium L-Threonate on a daily basis, and I am now confident to report that the insomnia and vertigo and brain fog have all improved!!  So, very many thanks for your very helpful advice. I am now less confident that the early morning headaches are caused by hypoglycaemia, as even foods with a zero a GI rating (cheese, nuts, etc) can cause really server headaches, which sometimes require migraine medication in order to get rid off.  If you are able to suggest any other treatment I would definitely give it a try, as these headaches are a terrible burden.  Doctors in the UK have very limited knowledge concerning dietary issues, and I do not know how to get reliable advice from them. Best regards,

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.
