    I have had my Keeper for TWELVE years! It has been a lifesaver and I have saved soooo much money. I was going to buy another one a couple of months ago but I decided not to because mine is still good. It only leaks if it gets too full or you do not put it in right. Just empty each time you use the restroom on heavy days and then overfilling should not...

    I think that the Dot would be much better than Premarin because Vivelle Dots are made with estradiol which is human estrogen. Premarin is made with horse estrogen and has different properties than human estrogen. I think it would be a good idea to also look at your other hormones as well. Women make a small amount of testosterone in their ovaries and...

    I wanted to say thank you for this idea. Since I have been poking my capsules they seem to be digesting. Also, I am not getting indigestion from the vitamins like I did when I opened up the capsules and just took the powder inside. Thanks again! Kathy

    Thanks everyone, I am going to try several of the things you suggested. My EnteroLab fat test came back normal, so I am hoping it is more of a digestive enzyme thing rather than malabsorption. Kathy

    Hi, Sometimes when I have loose stools I notice that my vitamin capsules do not digest. I have noticed this with my multivitamin and my calcium/magnesium capsules. They are both powder inside gelatin capsules. If I place the gelatin capsules in warm water they melt away but they can go through my gut intact. It really baffles me that I cannot seem...

    I must be a coffee snob. The best caps and lattes are made with steamed milk which when made correctly is microfoam without froth. Froth is bubbles on top of milk, microfoam is milk that is steamed to changed it into thick, luxurious, creamy, silky, sweat, microfoam that does not separate and you can pour latte art with. I have a Gaggia espresso machine...

    I looked at the jayrobb site and the ingredient lists did not seem complete. The chocolate egg white protein does not even list chocolate flavor or coco as an ingredient. It seems like they are leaving things out. Also, I compared the egg white protein powders to the whey protein powders and the chocolate whey protein powder listed "natural flavors including...

    You could make your own. I found this recipe on one of the Delphi forums. Boil/simmer about one tablespoon of whole flax seeds in about 1/2 cup of water for about three minutes, strain the mixture. Combine equal parts of flax seed gel with aloe vera gel, store in the refrigerator. Use in place of regular hair gel. I bought the dark flax seeds. I store...

    That is interesting about the tahini. Are you allergic to other nuts and seeds as well? If not you could try making your hummus with a different nut butter. I have used peanut butter in the past as a substitute for tahini. I used to make Felafel balls and I often substituted peanut butter for tahini in the lemon tahini sauce used to top the Felafel balls...

    I just wanted to mention that I have never been able to eat prepared hummus, it always gives me gut problems no matter what new brand I try. However, I have been able to eat home made hummus in the past without a problem. I always used canned garbanzo beans in my home made hummus; they seem to be really well cooked. I think that it is possible that the...

    Hi, I just received good news this morning. My lab just called me with my total IgA results and they were normal. My result was 203 with a normal range of 81-463. With my normal total IgA result in I believe that it is OK to trust my EnteroLab results now. My assumptions now are that I am OK with casein, eggs, soy, and yeast and that my Antigliadian...

    Hi Elizabeth, Thanks for the information on the Jay Robb protein powders. I bought the NOW Eggwhite Protein powder yesterday. I tasted a small amount of the powder plain and it had a salty taste to me. I thought that was interesting since there is no added salt. I blended the power with coconut milk, pineapple with juice, and some ice and my smoothie...

    Hi Elizabeth, I would recommend the ON Chocolate egg white protein powder if you are sure that Splenda is OK for you. I tried it this morning for breakfast with coconut milk, strawberries and a little ice in the blender. The taste was good but next time I think I would leave out the strawberries. Plain with just water it is much thinner than whey protein...

    Andrea, Thanks so much for posting the article; it is very interesting. I think that I defiantly need to start a food journal. It is interesting that for the challenge test that the amount of food can be a little as one tablespoon. One thing that is really interesting to me is that before I started the Atkins diet I used to always wake up with stiff...

    Elizabeth, Thank you for the review of the NOW egg protein powder. I found it on the Lame Advertisement.com site for $10.79 for one pound which seems like a good price. The nice thing about the NOW powder seems to be that it does not contain any flavoring or sweeteners. I should have ordered from them. I used to order most of my supplements from Lame...

    Hi, I received a reply from EnteroLab about the paper products this morning: I buy all of my paper products from Costco (Kirkland brand). I think I need to call them now. I use paper towels for soaking up oil on my food and for covering food in the microwave all the time. Andria--Thank you for the advice on doing a diary challenge after 2...

    Carla, Thanks for the information about Dr. Fine and dairy. I had not picked up on that information on the Enterolab site. It makes me feel better that there may still be a chance for me to eat dairy again. I hope you are right about the paper. I think I am going to email Enterolab and ask them to clarify the paper issue. Kathy

    Hi, I called Enterolab and spoke with the nurse there. She said that either I was doing really well on my Atkins diet and was not eating gluten for long enough to get a IgA reaction or that I am IgA deficient. She recommend that I get a total IgA test to make sure that I am not IgA deficient. She said that without knowing for sure if I am IgA deficient...

    Hi, Thanks for all the information! The comments made me look at my calendar. I was mistaken about doing Atkins for four years, it has actually been five and 1/2 years (started Feb. 2001). It is hard for me to believe that it has been that long. I tried some of the low carb items including baking with gluten and using items with sugar alcohols and...

    Hi, I just received my Enterolab results and I am hoping that someone can help me interpret the results. I have had gut issues for at least twenty years. My primary gut symptoms have been intermittent painful abdominal bloating and gas. At one point a doctor told me that I had an ulcer and I was on Tagamet for over a year. I also have had fatigue, iron...

    Ursula, That is too bad that it too so long for your palpitations to go away. When I had my first set of palpations they were happening frequently for about three months. I did not go to the doctor because I was afraid that he would put me on a cardiac med! The amazing thing was that within 45 minutes of taking my first dose of the calcium/magnesium...
  23. kathy2005
    Sometimes palpations can be caused by low magnesium. Do you take a calcium/magnesium supplement? There is a helpful book by Carolyn Dean--"The Miracle of Magnesium" that I have found helpful. If people with gluten problems are susceptible to osteoporosis because they are not absorbing enough calcium it makes sense that they may also have problems absorbing...

    Thanks for all the replies and information. I now have the willpower to wait until my Enterolab results come in! Kathy

    Hi, For those of you who have a casein intolerance I am wondering if you are able to eat whey protein or if you react to it as well? I am wondering specifically about whey protein isolate/concentrate protein powders. I have been on a gluten & casein free diet wile awaiting my Enterolab results and I am feeling better. I have also discontinued...
