Everyday toxin overload can cause anxiety too, if you have a sluggish system like I do. I've got my anxiety under control the past few years, finally. Here's what helps me. I only take these a few days at a time as needed, then off them a few days or weeks at a time. I get my supplements at GNC, except for three at Walgreen's drugstore, and the...

Most cigarettes contain additives, which can contain gluten. If it doesn't say 'additive-free' on the cig pack, it has additives. I too roll my own additive-free American Spirit tobacco. I use Rizzla filtered rolling papers which I think are gluten-free too. Winstons are additive-free too, says on the cig pack. But I don't know if their papers...

Plain water doesn't 'soak in' with me either, leaves me feeling just as dehydrated. But when I add a splash of bottled concentrated lemon juice to my glass of water, it soaks in and I feel hydrated. You could try this. Just add a splash of bottled concentrated lemon juice to your glass of water. Of course fresh lemon would be better...

Thanks for the info. I just now looked up both xanthan gum and guar gum on-line some more, and found these interesting tidbits: Xanthan gum is made from a certain type of bacteria that causes black rot to form on broccoli and some other types of veggies. And has something to do with corn. Don't know if those allergic to corn would have a reaction...

Winston cigarettes are additive-free. Heavy chain-smoker here. I keep trying to quit but no luck yet. Cigs make me sick all over, want to quit so bad, but when in cig withdrawal I get horrible brain fog and can't function, so I'm trapped like a rat in this addiction, need the cigs to feel normal. If I could afford cigs and they didn't make me...

I'm just guessing, but I think white rice flour would be interchangeable with brown rice flour in recipes, same thing I'm assuming. Best wishes to all.

There are some state-of-the-art doctors who specialize in testing for behavioral food allergies. They test you with sublingual liquid drops of food allergens. This testing is far more accurate than the pin-prick testing on back for allergens, especially more accurate for behavioral food allergies that cause neurological symptoms. My insurance won...

'Behavioral Food Allergies' cause neurological symptoms such as brain fog, and also they can cause symptoms such as anger and mood swings and the like. And a 'regular' food allergy gives you physical symptoms such as trouble breathing or a rash and other physical symptoms, ranging from mild to anaphylactic shock. I haven't been tested by a doctor for...

I'm not sure about corn starch or not, it might work, don't know one way or the other, but I'll try it next batch since I'm out of potato starch now myself. I accidentally made a batch with just rice flour and tapioca flour last week (followed the wrong recipe I was working on revising), and it tasted great, but broke too easy when I tried to eat them...

Oh Lord, I have to revise the directions in my above recipe, so sorry, dang it! Whenever I've let the crackers cool on the cookie sheet before removing... I've always - hot right out of the oven - very gently slid each cracker around to break the bond, then let it cool on pan. Well, I just now baked a batch and tried not doing that, just left them...

I thought graham flour was a separate grain unto itself, but when I looked it up to see if it was gluten-free, I found out it's a wheat flour that is just specially processed and was named after the guy who invented that process, Graham. These graham crackers taste just like regular graham crackers, don't need graham flour at all. Of course you have...

If I eat eggs more than two days in a row, they put me into a deep depression. So I space my egg meals out. I found this out when I was on a diet and was having boiled eggs in my tossed salads days in a row. And if my son has eggs too many days in a row, they give him a temper. It's called something like 'behavioral food allergy' when you have a...

Yikes, that Tyson disclaimer! Scary! Sounds very unprofessional to be so secretive like that about allergens required by law to be listed! This subject came up on another gluten-free forum, and I told my Coca Cola experience. It dawned on me during the recent discussion on the other forum, that when I bought that Coke that I truly believe I got glutened...

As with gluten, when me and son eliminated soy we had an immediate improvement by the next day. But many people take way longer to notice improvement, whether off of gluten or soy. I'm going to edit my other post above to say to watch out when trying soy lecithin, because as with soybean oil, some can have it and some can't. Best wishes to all.

Me and my adult son are soy intolerant. He gets nauseated and I get brain fog and depression and achiness. We found this out within weeks of going gluten free - my son first noticed it, then when I started leaving out soy along with gluten, I noticed it too. Me and son are able to have the ingredient soy lecithin, I've read that the allergen...
