I was wondering if anyone has taken grapefruit seed extract (gse)? I heard it is good for yeast. I have just started taking 10 drops in water three times a day. Boy is it yucky.

I have. I agree that it is so yucky! I would have to "chase" it w/ something. Ugh. I noticed some difference, but not as much as when I took Nystatin. Also, the all natural nasal spray (Nutribiotic, I think is the name) I use contains GSE and I love it!

I'm going to the gyn doctor today. I don't think I can get rid of this without something, diflucan works. The problem being is that they only prescribe you one pill. It does get rid of the immediate infection but does not do anything for whats left to rear its ugly head a few months later. I figure I need to be on something longer. I really am fortunate to only have the gluten and oats issue, so I really don't want to restrict my diet of fruit. I'm ok with giving up most refined sugar and baking with lower gi index gluten free flours. My carb consumption is way down since I'm doing the south beach diet to loose weight. Overall I do feel better. I am finaly not as hungry as when I first started around a month ago. I don't even have that feeling that I've gotta have a candy bar anymore. A little nibble here and there is all I want. I have been doing some experimenting in the kitchen with lower carb flours, truvia, and erythritol. I've made some really good things and it satifies the sweet tooth. When you took the gse did you notice if it suppressed your appetite? Maybe it's just a coincidence, but I don't feel as hungry since I started taking it. Before I really looked forward to my snack and was hungry. Now not so much.

      Gluten Free Oats

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum @Mushroom73!  About 8% of celiacs cross react to the oat protein avenin. That means 92% do not. A likely higher percentage probably cross react to CMP (Cow's Milk Protein) https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1810502/. Corn, eggs and soy are also common cross reactors. It would be impossible to eliminate all foods that some proportion of the celiac community cross reacts to and still be able to produce meaningful products. I would also add that it is not true that companies catering to the gluten free community put oats in all their products. That is a gross exaggeration. It is true that oats are found in many gluten free products. But I understand that you are frustrated in the sense of many of the gluten-free products that you would like to consume contain oats. There are many in the celiac/gluten sensitive community who feel the same way about dairy and soy which are also common ingredients in gluten-free products.

      Gluten free and oat free bars not sugary?

      By Mushroom73 · Posted

      Hi,  I was diagnosed over 30 years ago at the Univ. of Iowa. I also cannot tolerate oats. I find Nugo Dark bars are very good. But, the MOCHA uses real coffee beans and has caffeine. Kind bars with oats are also very good.  Really hope this helps.

      Gluten Free Oats

      I do not understand why manufacturers think everyone that actually has Celiac can tolerate oats. They don't understand that not all of us can. they think it is fantastic and start putting this in all their products making them unusable for me.  So frustrating!!

      Comparing results with different units can be very difficult, or impossible. What are the normal ranges for each result?
