    Dear Mtndog, I think it does take us longer to recover. I always have had difficulty recovering from stomach bugs. Since I was young, it usually takes me a month to completely get rid of it. I had that virus back in October. I did not recover for a while. Finally, when I began recovering from that, I did a course of antibiotics that...

    Dear JerryK, I know exactly what you mean! The first couple of months, I ate nothing but plain chicken, beef, pork, eggs, canned veggies, and fruit. It is quite depressing. People eating food in front of you that you so desperately miss, the taste, the texture, the beauty! I am such a food whore! LOL! You know I have actually been...

    Dear RunnerGirl, When I went gluten free six months ago, I spent all of my time on the phone with manufacturers, cooking, and cleaning. To spare others the exhaustion, I decided to put together a begginer's list. I want to make this as easy as possible for others. This is a difficult disease. Life is complicated enough, why make it harder...

    Dear Lisa, Something else you may not know...alcoholism can be caused by an overgrowth of yeast! Candida craves carbohydrate, sugar, fermented foods, etc. because it feeds it. You can crave these things because the yeast is hungry! Alcoholism is something many people do not realize is a physical illness, not just a chemical dependency. ...

    Dear cdfiance, It is wonderful news to hear Alex is doing a little better! We were all so worried! It sounds like low electrolytes were some of the problem. The Pedialyte certainly is great for that! Also, it is great to know she tolerated her first IV treatment! I think it is terrific you are so concerned about her. Many of us hope...

    Dear RiceGuy, LOL! I agree! People are becoming stupid more and more every day. Maybe it is because they eat gluten. It might be brain fog or something. What's next, ugly politicians? We could go blind tomorrow! What if that is the last thing we see, and it is etched in our mind? We could go crazy and bash our brains out with...

    Dear January Flower, I have a question about bad teeth. I had good teeth up until several years ago. All of the sudden, my teeth keep breaking off. Is it possible I am grinding them down? Or, is it the Celiac disease? I never had a cavity until a few years ago. Could it be a product of malabsorption? I am so scared I will...

    Dear Lisa, I was going to say the same thing as Rachel. Candida is a nasty thing. I have it to. I told my doctor I had a yeast infection last November, and she told me it was BV. Then she gave me Flagyl! It made me very ill as well. To top it all off, I used to get broncchitis twice a year since birth until I was 17, so that was more antibiotic...

    Dear Rachel, The politics on Lyme are scary. I wondered if the co-infections needed treating first. I am glad you posted that. Does Igenix find you an LLMD, or do you have to find them yourself? I may have Babesia as well, so that would be worth testing for. Incedentally, a new development in this is I found out my mother was bitten...

    I do not have a skin reaction. That is why my Celiac was overlooked at first. The IgE antibodies are what causes a rash. Just because you do not have a skin reaction does not mean you do not have the allergy. Most people get skin testing done, but it is not accurate. It really is a waste of money. Sincerely, ...

    Dear Carla, I felt really nauseated on the Flagyl all the time. I have felt better after stopping it. I did that back in early November. It took me a week after to start to feel a little better after the medication. As far as the Accu-Flora goes, I think I am just going to call the company with the number on the Web site tomorrow to be...

    Dear Kyalesyin, It sounds like they have a better handle on it where you live. There is a place called www.gaiam.com that has some nice natural stuff. They sell pajamas, rugs, furniture, air purifiers, etc. I do get a strange look when I talk about healthy food, and natural items. People look at you like they are on an acid trip or something...

    Dear January Flower, Thanks for the input! I know getting one would help me a lot. Clenching your jaw is a real painful thing. The dentist I saw a while back had me bite down to check my bite, and every time he said "Ouch!" I am thinking "How do you think I feel?" LOL! It turns out, my jaw is so badly misaligned, that the...

    Dear Disney323 and Cybermommy, You guys are so welcome for the lists! Cybermommy, I copied yours into a word document for future reference. There are a lot of people with toddlers on here. We get newbies all the time. This helps save a lot of time and energy! Don't worry Andrea, you can handle this! It is overwhelming...

    Dear Carla, Thank you for the info on the lemon. That is interesting it will taste bitter when you are alkaline enough. Isn't that neat how our bodies tell us stuff and we never pay attention unless we have health issues like these? I am going to get some lemons on my next trip to the store! You know, I used to suck on lemon wedges when...

    Dear Charlie, I have some rice noodles I got from the Chinese Market. They are always great. Really, this is the best place to get sweet rice and regular rice flours too. It is much cheaper! I only pay $1 or a little more for what you would have go pay much more for at the healthfood store. Merchants are great about helping...

    Dear Kyalesyin, I am glad to be a hippie too! After all of the scary things you hear about with this synthetic crap they market, we should be thankful cotton exists. Of course, they will probably find some way to mess it up, too. They just cannot leave things alone! Whatever happened to natural? Does it even exist anymore? ...

    Dear Charlieswpa, You are welcome for the info! I have been gluten free since August of last year, so it has been six months! I cannot cheat, because I have a violent reaction to gluten. I get really nauseated, break out in a sweat, get diarrhea, start shaking, sometimes my hands go numb, and if I am lucky, swallow a Promethazine before...

    Dear RiceGuy, It is so interesting you mentioned this! I get this naturopathic doctor's newsletter, and one article in it recently found out this guy had a reaction to polyester! He got brain fog and felt strange. How scary is that? Marijuana and hemp has a lot of uses. I think it should be allowed as treatment to relieve symptoms...

    Dear snowcoveredheart, Have you been on a lot of antibiotics, birth control, or steroids for asthma or other things? The reason I am asking is because I have done a lot of research on a systemic overgrowth of Candida yeast. In my research, it has been implicated as a cause of Bipolar Disorder. It has links to other diseases such...

    Dear es2443, I have a delayed reaction. Mine is not as long as yours. Usually, within 12 hours of eating gluten I know. I get violently ill, so I am not even slightly tempted to cheat. I miss a lot of foods I used to eat, but have to say, it is worth not doing. I get nauseous, break out in a sweat, get diarrhea, start shaking all...

    Dear Rachel, I actually got down to 84 pounds at one point when my parents had to take me up to I.U. Get this, the genius doctors up there could not figure out why I was losing weight after I had been on a liquid diet for four days! Can you say DUH??? If these were supposed to have been the best in the country, I would hate to see the...

    Dear Laura, I am so sorry you feel like that! That is exactly what happens to me when I get glutened! Thank God for Promethazine! Rachel thinks I may have been having a herx when I went on Flagyl some months back. I reacted the same way to it! I hope you feel better! Dear Rachel, Thanks for the mercury link. I visited...

    I am in the Midwest, and I have not gotten to read the labels yet. When I go out there, I will let people know! I do not remember where the person who told me that lived. This is apparently a regional thing. You would think they would want to make it easier for us! Sincerely, ...
