  1. My favoite salad hint - chop up one bunch of celery, one bunch of green onions, grate two carrots, chop a bell pepper or two, line a large tupperware container with bounty paper towels dump all chopped veggies in. Then you can take out some of this & add torn kale, chopped tomatoes, chopped jicama & salad is done - add a chopped meat or two &...
  2. I would like to comment on your food allergies, since I have a lot of experience with them. Just go very slow on reintro new foods. Give your guts a chance to heal. try baked sweet potatoes, most everyone can handle those. Drizzle on a little honey, if you are allowed honey. I would not be eating any dairy, soy, or white potatoes for a while - a...
  3. Hi Nancy, it makes me nauceous - I tried it only once. My thinking is why use Agave syrup when you can use honey? & the answer to myself is that it is probably cheaper. I think you already know that I avoid any artificial sugar. Most of which messes with my brain, including mannitol... I gave up chewing gum many years ago because they started...
  4. Can you get your medical records transferred from IL? I would also make sure you get a second opinion on the skin cancer... If you do have skin cancer, I would go grain free & check into the vitamins that you should be taking in addition to the treatment that the doc recommends - although the vitamins needs to be co-ordinated with the doc - just...
  5. Mushroom, I am not qualified to answer anything about your tests, but I will say that IMO if your B12 was just normal - that is too low. You should take B12. Also, with arthiritis, I would look at my diet... start with completely gluten-free, dairy free & soy free. Then i would look at nightshade foods, white potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant...
  6. ar8, you will be feeling better soon, I am sure. & yes, it is really a good idea to write down the things that you can eat. Everyone tends to focus on what they cannot eat & panic. I have been adjusting my diet for so many years that this is really easier for me, plus I just feel so great !! (except when I get a cold) Also, we "think outside...
  7. I did not mean to accuse you of anything, just giving some ideas, for you & whoever else reads this thread. I might not be typing at a happy tone because the only reason I am sitting here is that I am so sick with a cold that I cannot do anything else. (between flying with germy people & 5 days with the grandkids I was doomed!) I used to be a...
  8. There is only one Enterolab - it is in Dallas Texas. You can email them. their web site is Enterolab.com they ship all over the world. Your sister might be able to afford it, considering the exchange rate is so favorable to England at the moment. re doctor in England, do the homework for the doc & take him a list of the tests that need to be...
  9. Dairy is very tricky it does not just cause GI symptoms. I never get GI symptoms from dairy...
  10. are you eating replacement gluten-free grain products? I think they all have a level of cross contamination.
  11. I follow pretty much the same diet as NancyM, we all have our little variances... It is the healthiest way to eat. Have you read "Good calories bad calories"? I have read this book & Nancy recommened it ... & it is awesome & explains what your body does with the food that you eat & how the U.S. governement got into the deep rutted tracks...
  12. almost all grilled chicken in a restaurant has a grill base applied to it & the grill base almost always contains gluten. Actually, I have never found one that did not. they put it on there because it makes the meat "taste good". re the person with an apple issue, that might be one thing that you need to check into getting the organic ones...
  13. Lets see you gave up half of what you tested intolerant to & got a 50% improvement!!! but seriously, yes dairy can be as destructive to some of us as gluten, if not more so... anyone that does not want to give up dairy is just kidding themselves. Dairy is very very addictive & a lot harder to give up than gluten. That is why some people...
  14. Someone in your daughters shape cannot handle ANY grains, no gluten-free pancakes, no crackers - nothing but meat, veggies & fruit & those should be easy to digest. I suggest baked sweet potatoes, boiled organic chicken with some boiled carrots... some organic applesauce (found in the regular grocery) boiled eggs mashed up - if she does not have...
  15. Thank you for posting this. I have heard, over a year ago, from a friend of mine that her doctor uses enterolab for his osteo patients etc. After she tested thru them & has made so much progress on the gluten-free diet. I think there are more doctors using Enterolab than we know...
  16. Try some coconut milk smoothies. Also eat more meat. Keep some cooked meat to snack on with fruit between meals or with some boiled eggs, deviled with mayo would be better... Mission Brand White Corn tortillas with almond butter and jam and lots of bacon rolled up. That should give you a few calories. Try to figure out why you have nausea. Are you...
  17. What 4 things does he eat? How about pork & beans with sauted hot dog coins mixed in? baked potato? home made french fries? spaghetti sauce? you can blend anything up in tomato sauce. My son lived on Pork & beans & hot dogs, potatoes, PB & grape jelly on crackers, spaghetti, & beef. He lived.
  18. Breeakfast tacos - with soft white corn tortillas, heat tortillas in skillet - add scrambled eggs made with sausage, add hash browns - roll up. serve in little white paper sandwich bags, if you can find them or ask a restaurant for a few... You can put any combination of eggs, meat, potatoes, beans, cheese on a breakfast taco. Standard breakfast...
  19. Deb, I eat my almond butter on organic celery. I also will heat up a Mission brand White Corn tortilla & put PB & Jelly on it & roll up - & I add bacon Adults can also just eat PB out of a spoon !!!! I have switched from peanut butter to almond butter. Peanut butter is a legume and can contribute to leaky gut...
  20. You have a diagnosis just not from a doctor. & I do not think that they would be much help even if they did give you a diagnosis. You need to be getting well, not making yourself sicker by eating gluten... What type of problems are you having with the diet and cross contamination? I am sure there is someone here that is having or has had the...
  21. Home based Mom, Lundberg only does rice. they are a California company. You should be able to find them everywhere in CA. Maybe they are in the health food section of the grocery instead of the chip aisle. If you can eat rice they have wonderful rice blends of all varieties of rice. Open Original Shared Link here is a link to their web site. darlindeb...
  22. I used to eat Fritos, but am also giving them up, the occasional stomach ache is not pleasant. It is just my guess but I think they are cross contaminated with soy beans or barley, because I get a different reaction to each & my frito reaction is not a wheat one. Or either they are spraying the corn with something that has one of those ingredients...
  23. You should read the book "Omnivores Dilema" you will have second thoughts about corn & processed foods...
  24. I also suggest not to eat any Quaker products. Lundberg Rice Cakes are wonderful as are the Lundberg Rice Chips. You can also use the Rice chips for a base for things like dip, PB & Jelly & bacon etc. Also, you will not see any gluten listed on Brach's candy - but do not be deceived. A lot of people react to them.
  25. well how long has she been gluten-free? I do not think that soy is good for anyone - all forms of soy. I would definitely take away all soy. Well the thing with corn is that it acts like a grain for some of us & can cause problems. Corn is insidious & hard to get out of your diet. I have been gluten-free almost 4 years & can tolerate some...
