    Ali, I'm back! My son has been really sick He's got the head cold thing and he is dripping and dripping and coughing and NOT SLEEPING! I'm exhausted. I do have to say that even though I have been continually coughed and sneezed on and I did not get sick. (I hope you didn't either!) I wonder if my immune system is working better on this diet? It must...

    Hi Ali! I had a booster meeting with my daughter's school last night and my son's soccer team started practice for spring, so I was out at the soccer field tonight. I can tell my body is really starting to heal because normally I would be exhausted for the week already. I even had enough energy to cook dinner Monday and Tuesday. I didn't get that nasty...

    Hey Ali, It's me! I haven't forgotten about you. I just don't know where the time goes anymore. It's 1PM and I think that this is the first time I got to sit down all day. I went to the store yesterday and of course the only thing I went for I forgot. So I had to go back this morning to get the eggs so we could color eggs for Easter. And I can't...

    Ali, Many times I wish I had been better informed when it comes to medical info, so I know what you mean! Doctors don't really involve patients in their medical treatment, and many actually get pissed off when you try to have a say in your own body. Image that! My daughter was in pullups at night until she was probably 5 1/2. I read that bedwetting...

    Hi Ali, It is kinda weird talking about noses and poop and phlegm and such. Sorry about your mom and dad. I see my dad's health deteriorate with all the drugs the doctors give him. My mom is more likely to believe me though and she has improved a little. She is still one of those that believes the doctor has the magic pill. My son has...

    Ali, Goodness! I wouldn't want to loose my gall bladder either. They took my tonsils out when I was five and from what I've been reading lately, the tonsils are important because they trap bacteria and virus you may breathe in. Kinda funny since my intestinal bacteria is out of whack. I do have to say that since I started SCD my poop has gone...

    Ali, That is so funny about your feet and sticking them out of the blanket. I never even noticed that I used to do that too and now I don't have to! And sometimes I feel good about being able to get rid of toxins but most of time I can't believe how many toxins I have in my body. And when I can't get rid of my bad breath I just want to crawl under...

    Hi AliB, My real problems started after giving birth to my first child when I was 30. I alternated between C and D, with mostly C. I would only go every 2 or 3 days. I had severe stomach cramps, severe gas and gas pains. I would double over in pain at times. My stomach would bloat up like a balloon. The gas I had was the smelliest gas ever and...

    Hi, I've been doing SCD since October 2007. I'm not good with quoting, so in regards to the comment about curing celiac, I kinda read that comment in the book like celiacs could be cured of the damage that was being done in their intestines, maybe? The comment in the book did seem a little off though. I do have to say that when it comes to nutrition...

    Sally, The foul smelling gas could be bacteria die off. I think that smelly gas can also be something that you are not digesting. I don't know about exercise pain, but when I wasn't digesting something and it was fermenting in my intestines, I got really smelly gas and lots of gas pains. I wasn't diagnosed with SIBO but the last doctor I went...

    Shiatsu massage helped me by unblocking my energy. I was unable to get better and was stuck in my illness for a time. I had two different practitioners and one seemed to be better than the other. Another time, I had some kind of energy massage and when he was manipulating my head, I could instantly feel the anxiety leave my body. I can't remember...

    I'm happy to see this type of information on mainstream television. Oprah did seem disinterested in talking about gluten, and I think ravenwoodglass might be correct that Oprah may be realizing she might have a problem with gluten. Oprah does not seem to be type who would embrace gluten free eating. IMHO that's probably why she seemed so callous about...

    I have made so many mistakes and have been to so many doctors that I don't remember way back when. When I first realized that food was making me ill, (and there weren't any doctors agreeing with me on this) I did many different things. And at this point I was on different medications because the doctors told me it was all in my head. After cleaning up...

    I never was diagnosed with celiac disease. I've had almost every digestive disorder, but not much of any other symptoms, except for acne which has gotten much better. I think that I have small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. Being gluten free helped many of symptoms, but not all of them. Getting rid of dairy got rid of more symptoms. I started the specific...

    I have found out that most people don't know what wheat is let alone gluten. And they definitely don't understand the difference between an intolerance and an allergy. I usually just say I have food allergies and I feel better not eating bread and dairy. Occasionally someone will be more interested and I will explain more but most of the time I just use...

    ARCHIVED Sweating

    KAG replied to KAG's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut

    Thanks April. That helps alot! I really appreciate your reply. When I went back to try eating gluten this summer for a test my body was hotter and I was unable to tolerate the heat. I would also wake up at exactly 3AM every morning and I read something about your liver regenerating at this time. I never connected this sweating with my liver though. ...

    KAG posted a topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut

    I never did get diagnosed with celiac and being gluten free wasn't enough. I started during the specific carbohydrate diet 3 months ago and it has really helped. Doing SCD also helped me figure out I can't eat eggs, onions, garlic and that I think I have an actual allergy to dairy. Well, on Christmas I started cheating and since I have been home from school...

    KAG replied to Rpm999's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    I've had this off and on for years, mostly from apples and cherries. I never knew there was a name for it. I used to be chemically sensitive to a lot of things. Since I've cleaned up my diet and eat more organic food and got rid of gluten, it doesn't happen as much any more. It seems that when I am feeling more sensitive and run down, it happens more...

    I'm sure that others will reply with the technical stuff. I'm not really good with explaining that part. I do know that I have tried many many different types of probiotics and have learned that some work for me and some don't. I think that they are VERY important, but you have to try and experiment with a few different kinds to see what works best for...

    I started the specific carbohydrate diet 5 or 6 weeks ago. The acne on my face and upper arms has cleared up considerably. I was having terribly smelly gas and constipation prior to this and now the smelly gas is gone and I am having 2 normal bowel movements most days. It has been incredible. I think that I have small intestinal bacterial overgrowth,...

    ARCHIVED Scd

    KAG posted a topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut

    I've been reading a lot lately about the Specific Carbohydrate Diet lately. Most of the stuff I found is a little old. Four or more years old. I started eating this way this week and I've noticed a HUGE difference. I was really having a problem with sugar. I'm not sure if I have a yeast overgrowth or a small bowel intestinal overgrowth thing going on...

    I have been modifying my diet (without the help of doctors) for over 10 years. I have pretty much gluten free for most of that time. It took a lot of experimenting and I wish that I would have known about this site earlier. Anyway, I did have precancerous polyps 10 years ago and needed a GI doctor to do another colonoscopy. I was having new problems too...

    Thanks, that makes sense. Sometimes I feel like I'm going crazy, not knowing what is bothering me. I think that my intestines were spazing out.

    Okay, I am very confused. I have tried searching tic tacs and I cannot tell if people have problems with tic tacs or not. I think I definitely have a problem with tic tacs. Are they gluten free or is it something else that is bothering me? Kim

    My doctor today said "I don't think that I can help you." I said "Then there is no reason to be here." And I walked out.
