    Dear tom, It is amazing how such a small thing can bring such great pain. If only it was simpler. I am glad I decided to go 100 percent in the beginning. Of course, I felt so much better after a few days, that made me never to want a speck of the stuff. You have to live and learn. Once you know better, you do better! ...

    Dear Ami, This is great news! I was wondering when you would get the amalgams out and feel better. It is normal to be tired afterwards. The IVs are expensive! If necessary, they are worth the money when you have it. I could see why you could not afford them. Insurance does not normally pay for that type of thing. Five hours is...

    Dear sickchick, My bet is on the yeast! I have Raynaud's as well! The Candida is really tough to deal with, and causes all kinds of odd symtoms. Many people actually get freaked out when they see my hands. It really scares them that my fingers and hands turn blue. Raynaud's is primarily a circulation problem, and Candida, Celiac, and mercury...

    Dear tarnalberry, The Zone is very specific with the amounts. Measuring can be a nuisance to people. My doctor felt it is to difficult in that respect. I do not mind doing it. My overall feeling was better. Balance is important. I agree that diets are not one size fits all. Many people here are overweight in our country. I believe...

    Dear Patti, I took Caltrate before. It made me queasy. Do you have any idea why it would do that? My mother could not tolerate it either. What could be in it that does not agree with us? Sincerely, Jin

    Dear JNBunnie1, It is worth a try! I am sure the healthfood store would have it! If not, I know another place I can get it. They have all kinds of essential oils at the one place! Thank you for the tip! Sincerely, NoGluGirl

    Dear Chloe77, I drink coffee every day. It helps wake-up my bowels. I normally cannot go until I drink my coffee! That is very helpful. Overdoing it is a bad idea, but I limit my consumption to no more than two cups daily. Dear ramsfan1, I am glad to hear you are doing better! It can be very miserable being clogged up. Some days...

    Dear JNBunnie1, ROTFLMAO! I could do the comic! I am an artist! How about Osama Bin Laden as gluten? There are a lot of good possibilities for that! Gluten is the enemy! Sincerely, NoGluGirl

    Dear JNBunnie1, I am sure I have the yeast. It is awful. I actually am so sore in the "Netherlands" that it often hurts to sit down. Then there is the oral thrush. I actually have difficulty scraping it off, believe it or not. The GI upset is particularly troublesome. My blood sugar and blood pressure both get low frequently. ...

    Dear sickchick, That sounds like what happened with my teeth! About two or three years ago is when I began having trouble. They just chip off little by little. Even worse was the fact they often did it while I was eating soft food like scrambled eggs! It really makes you worry, doesn't it? I cannot believe they misplaced your...

    Dear Karen, I did an abdominal CT where I had to take the bathroom. It was so awful! What is worse, they put you in there with five other people who swallowed barium to do the same procedure, and put only one bathroom in there! Now, this is just stupid in my opinion. Honestly, they deserve to clean-up poop if they are dumb enough to do that!...

    Dear Sheryll, I have been glutened by the darndest things, too. I have to share a kitchen. That complicates things a lot for me. Once the other month, I got glutened from the diet soda. It is safe, but my father never pays attention, and lays the lid down anywhere. My parents eat gluten and tend to be very careless, and so the counter and...

    Dear Andrea, Susie, and Donna, I know, I am amazed! This is a huge departure as to where I was trying to explain it to them before. Trying to get others to understand why they could have it while they are trying to convince you (or maybe themselves) that there is no way they could possibly be Celiac it extremely trying. I hope to find a good...

    Dear Karen, My mother is currently taking a lot of medication. She finally may be convinced she could have Celiac as well. Mom is taking four different pills for her colon along with generic anti-diarrheal medication that is similar to Immodium. Now here is the kicker, she can still poop after taking all of that! You know that is not normal!...

    Dear Pat, You are right about that! My dad does that stuff! He will be like "Where is it?" I told him "Move the jelly." "Oh, there it is!" That is so annoying! What is it with people being so lazy? Sincerely, NoGluGirl

    Dear Rachel, When do you see Dr. Amy again? The last time you mentioned it, there was no exact date set for her arrival yet. I am nervous about any type of pill. If it could help, that would be great! I say go for it! Exposure to mold is almost completely unavoidable unless you live in a bubble. I certainly react badly to it. ...

    Dear thatchickali, Yes, it is safe! It is tasty, too! I use the fat-free. I love it on my vegetable seasoned rice crackers! It is a wonderful snack! Dear Franceen, That sounds so delicious! I need to get some salmon! I have an idea for smoky salmon dip made with the Philly stuffed into cherry tomatoes! There are so many...

    Dear newceliac, This is a problem many people have. Stirring it up well helps. However, after a while, it does get hard. I have a Magic Bullet, and it helps fix that issue. Heating it helps as well. Someone else suggested I store it upside down in the fridge so the oil goes to the bottom and it is easier to stir up. Although it is not organic...

    Dear Lily, I get very little warning, but I breakout in a sweat, become unbearably nauseated, have a sudden need to have a bowel movement (it tries to come out if I do not rush to get to the bathroom, like many, it is often a close call), I begin shaking all over, sometimes my hands go numb, and if I do not get a promethazine down quick enough...

    Dear Jesse E, It is possible to be 100 percent, especially if you live by yourself. I wish I could. I get violently ill from a microscopic amount of the crap! I have no choice but to just be paranoid because I have to share a kitchen. If I were able to move out on my own right now, that would make a huge difference. Dear SunnyDyRain...

    Dear ramsfan1, I was constipated for two weeks when I was three. We had to go to the convenient care and they gave me two enemas. That was a bad experience, but I can tell you, better than the alternative. If you are constipated for three or four weeks, you could actually die from the waste backing up. It sounds like you are impacted. I would...

    Dear Mbelle, I have hypoglycemia as well. It is exhaustive. There are certain foods that really do help. Protein needs mixed with carbohydrates. I discovered, as did Tarnalberry, that a balance of protein, carbohydrates, and fat in each meal and snack are most helpful. I also did not crave sugar so badly. Eating 5 to 6 small...

    Dear sickchick, Have you been on a lot of antibiotics, hormones, or steroids? You may have a yeast overgrowth. I have a bad one. Carbohydrates can make symptoms worse due to the yeast being fed by them. Do you have a white tongue a lot? How about strange rashes that pop up and then disappear out of nowhere? Raynaud's is something I have...

    Dear sickchick, We are pulling for you! Let us know when the results come in! I am sure all will be anxious to hear! Meanwhile, keep in mind, the antibody tests can be negative even if you are Celiac. That is what happened to me. I could have started the diet nearly seven years ago had I had this doctor at the time! What...

    Dear TheresaM, I have been gluten-free since August of 2006. I never cheat due to becoming violently ill upon ingesting even the most minute amount of gluten. My brother, however, is just starting his gluten-free journey. Gluten detox is tough. I think your pregnancy altered your hormones and that caused you to desire the gluten. ...
