    Do you live in an area with sunshine? If so, the best way is to get it naturally from the sun, because you can't overdose on it (of course, you don't want to let yourself get sunburned). I'm very fair skinned so I lay out on my deck for 7-8 minutes each side between the hours of 11-1 when the sun is at it's best (I've gotten all my information from Dr. Mercola...

    I don't know what type of Vitamin B it is, one type starts with a "C" and my doctor said that it's no good for those with absorption issues. He said to use the methylcobalamin form, which is immediately bio-available and does not need to be converted. Being the hardhead I am, I went off and bought my own, the one that starts with a "c" which is the most common...

    Had similar issues,my doctor tested me for Adrenal fatigue and I had it. He said many people with severe food allergies/celiac weaken their adrenals from the stress these conditions put on the body. Something to think about...it greatly affects metabolism, hypoglycemia, nutritional and hormal embalances, causes dizziness, fatigue, emotional issues, etc.

    Netti pot with warm salt water will clear and sooth your sinuses. Also, consider giving up dairy if you consume it, works wonders during allergy season. Hope you feel better soon!

    Hi, everyone. I don't have an official recipe, but I wanted to give you a head's up about raw kelp noodles. They may not sound appetizing, but they are terrific when cooked in a wok or with any sauces...they take on the flavor and get soft (they are crunchy before cooking). The best part is that they are not processed, contain lots of minerals and iodine...

    I had the same issues, and also had to cut out dairy and soy.
  7. Looking for answers
    You may be having reactions to other foods as well. I went through the same when I was new to the diet, then realized I also am intolerant to dairy, nuts, corn and soy. Also, try taking enzymes and probiotics with each meal...they help.

    Interesting fact: Quinoa is actually a seed.

    I agree protein and a good fats every meal made all the difference with me as well.

    I highly recommend quality probiotics and enzymes with eat meal. I say it all the time on these boards...so important for a healthy digestive track.
  11. Looking for answers
    Take quality enzymes and probiotics with each meal has helped me tremendously. I would suggest you do the same, along with all the other advice given here (checked for other food allergies, eat whole, unprocessed foods, etc).
  12. Looking for answers
    I couldn't agree with you more. I did all the same as well, haven't done the sugar testing, but that's next. Good info!

    I don't have any answers, but I do know what it's like to have something scary happen with your body and have no idea what it could be. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

    FYI, don't know where you live but the brand So Good, which also makes Soy Good, makes coconut kefir. It's gluten and dairy free, and usually less than $5 quart.

    If they examined your stomach then yes. Were you having the same trouble prior to the examination? I had a endoscopy done and they reported gastritis back to me.
  16. Looking for answers
    Yes, I had that for years. In my case it was gastritis, and it set in right after eating and it made me want to eat more as well. After a while it radiated to my back and became very troublesome. In case you don't know, gastritis is the inflammation of the stomach lining. I took black licorice root for it and it would always calm it down, but I didn't get...

    Great perspective...I think you should keep posting, you may help out others.

    You are definitely not being selfish, and I would have the same reaction. On the other hand, you obviously have a wonderful husband who truly enjoys your company and wants you to be there. Perhaps you guys could get you something beforehand and then you could enjoy tea or something. Again, I totally agree with you, but I always play devil's advocate...

    I would suggest they test her thyroid to make sure that it's not contributing to the weight gain. I was SUPER DUPER hungry all the time until I made many changes to my diet. I cut out processed foods, now I eat A LOT of healthy fats (two avocados a day, tons of olive and coconut oils, seeds, etc) along with plenty of healthy proteins and veggies with each...

    I wish I could help but I don't have an answer. I do have all the same symptoms and readings myself, except my TSH is low normal. I do know that iodine and selenium are required to convert T4 to T3, so a deficiency in these minerals may play a role.

    If anyone has advice for me I'd appreciate it as well. Communion at my church requires us to take a a piece of the loaf from our pastor and dunk it into the wine. The wine is always full of bread so I haven't been able to participate for a while and it makes me sad.

    Although I never had sinus infections, I did have chronic bronchitis (2-3 cases per year) prior to going gluten free. After going gluten free, I haven't had a single case!!!

    I had OCD back to my earliest childhood memory. It was debilating throughout my childhood and teenage years. I went through therapy, tried meds, neither helped. I read a really good book on the subject that helped me control some of the symptoms througout college and early adulthood so I could eliminate the compulsions, but the obessions continued. Then ...

    One more thing. The pattern is the first step in figuring out the automimmune disorder, but they can dig a little deeper with a follow-up test and determine which disease you may be at risk for. I don't remember all the technical terms but I have the SSB type, which is associated with Sjogren's and rules me out for Lupus and the other automimme diseases listed...

    I also have elevated ANAs and was diagnosed with Sjogren's Syndrome...this was before going gluten free and I haven't been retested since. I was 1:40 then, a few years ago. Everyone has ANAs, but not everyone's is elevated. After much research into the matter, you must have symptoms and the test results to be diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder. Since I...
