What Am I Doing Wrong?

I don't know much about migraines but I know plenty about cooking. To this end I say GET YOURSELF A CROCKPOT GRL. Whether you'll be cooking large meals to eat for a few days or small ones that thing saves me so much time on "cooking". Just throw together the ingredients, set the timer (always get one with an automatic timer it's worth the expense) and when you get home from your day you'll have a fresh unprocessed flavorful meal right there waiting for you to eat it.

Really does wonders for my busy schedule.

I second this! I love my slowcooker. And check out this blog: Open Original Shared Link (Everything she makes is gluten-free)

Thank you Lena and GlutenFreeManna. I actually have 2 ancient slow cookers. They are from the early 60's but they still work well. No timer though. I love the link and I'm exploring it now.

That would be bad they are so handy for work especially since I work with a bunch of gluten eaters. I can just keep my bars in my purse wash my hands pull out a bar and it never has to touch anything in the breakroom. I think for the first few days I'll chance it. I'm off work Thursday and Friday so I won't be eating them those two days, if I'm suddenly feeling better on Saturday I'll definitely remove those from my diet.

Thank you.

I eat one Lara bar or Kind bar a day and have not had trouble with them. They are lifesavers for me for travel, work and business events where they leave food for everyone but I can eat it or get out to get my own food. I have some stashed in my purse, briefcase, car and desk.

I do second the use of the crockpot and Stephanie's 365 day crockpot blog. She's great.

Are you a vegetarian? If so, you might get some good ideas from the gluten free goddess's blog: Open Original Shared Link

Good luck!

I am now pretty confident the migraines came from the artificial sweeteners. Now I'm starting to the think the tummy trouble was caused by eggs. So I'm going Vegan and see if that fixes everything. It certainly can't hurt. :)

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
