    Remember, Google is your friend Open Original Shared Link The answer to your question is yes. Actually, from a little more googling, I see that Mr. Ritts now has a branch in New Jersey: Open Original Shared Link Plus, Foods by George is located in New Jersey as well: Open Original Shared Link

    I answered this in the other thread, but I'll post again here for everyone's benefit. I believe you added more soy to your diet in response to eliminating dairy. That very likely is your answer right there. Soy sensitivity can be subtle and can manifest itself in skin problems. I've seen this in a book I have about food allergies and have read of the...

    As long as you read labels, there are no hidden sources of soy in food. It is an allergen that has to be listed. You do have to check with supplements and medicines, though. Going out to eat, it is very hard to find something in an Asian restaurant. Most sauces have soy in them. Sometimes you can get Thai curries without soy or can have things made...

    Oh, I would add you should count yourself lucky if you find out the dietary sources of your breakouts at age 28. I finally have clear skin this year ... and I'm 54

    Enterolab will test for both casein and soy. That is one way to tell for sure. There certainly are plenty of folks who react to gluten, casein & soy. I was surprised by my soy result. I never noticed a problem, at least gastro-wise. But I did have a lot of soy, given that I was following a plant-based diet 99.5% of the time I would estimate. ...

    Before you go in to get your results, you might look at some of the articles on this site about the accuracy of the testing. False positives are rarely a problem. So given your positive response to the diet and positive blood tests, don't let him talk you into eating gluten again so you can have a biopsy. False negatives are a problem, though. I believe...

    If I can ask a question given your expertise ... Is the distillation process sufficient to eliminate yeast in the final product? I'm unsure of the relative sizes of yeast versus gluten. (Yeah, I could try looking this up, but it is easier to ask someone else ) I am supposed to be yeast-free, but there is no definitive explanation of what this entails...

    BTW the software also won't let you abbreviate "gluten-free." Did you feel better on the gluten-free diet? If so, do it. I didn't see that you at any point went on a dairy-free diet also. Dairy can cause gas and promote sinus infections, too. I used to have these problems all the time until I eliminated dairy. I guess at this point you need first...

    Sigh. I love mushrooms. I haven't seen those on yeast lists, but they are on Candida lists. I wonder why they are on there. Wouldn't sugar be a Candida issue? The comment about "yeast overgrowth" seems to indicate that this is the concern, not damage due to anti-Sacc. cer. antibodies. Then again, I do feel better if I don't have much sugar --...

    Here is a discussion about a recent, doubleblind study showing the effects of certain food additives on hyperactivity in children with and without ADHD (it is the last study discussed in the link): Open Original Shared Link You can read there about the specific additives involved. It is more than red dye. If you google on Gluten-free Casein-free diet...

    Here's another description of an elimination diet: Open Original Shared Link I think if you google on "elimination diet" you can find others.

    I thought there were a number of people on this board that might be interested in this study. It is the fifth one discussed in this link: Open Original Shared Link

    It certainly could be the milk. Sometimes the response to eliminating a food takes time or one just sees a subtle change. But then you have some of the eliminated food and BANG. At least this was my experience with soy. Of course, your reaction could be something else.

    Thanks. I'll look up the things you mention. I had some leftovers yesterday which I didn't heat up. Maybe that was why I felt lousy this morning. It is so hard to tell. I can come up with all sorts of other things it could have been ... Are you saying that the yeast antibodies and Candida problems are related? Or just that the Candida diets are...
  15. hathor
    Yeah, except when you can't figure out what to change Right now, I can blame things on gluten, casein, egg, soy, yeast (particularly since I don't know what I should be avoiding exactly), some other undiagnosed food intolerance, too much fat consumption, lingering effects from nutrient malabsorption or years of intestinal disfunction, my new exercise program...

    Happy Birthday! What is your reaction to yeast if you have too much? Right now I don't know if it is yeast, CC where I'm getting something else I'm sensitive too, or menopause that is getting me. Or something else My idea was to go as yeast-free as possible for awhile and then to challenge it. Then I could know for sure if I have a reaction...

    I may be having symptoms, but I don't know for sure. With multiple intolerances, the possibility of other ones or cross contamination, different lists, other factors (water? exercise? sleep? the fact I'm menopausal?), etc., it is hard to know what I'm reacting to ... if anything. It could be chance and my mind is trying to find patterns that aren't there...

    Well, even if I could eat the things (problems with wheat, milk, and soy, and with consuming much fat), I wouldn't make a regular habit of it. They have trans fat (unless you live in a place with a trans fat ban). Probably hidden MSG too in that "natural beef flavoring" (along with the wheat and the milk) to make you like them so much ... I don't know...

    "The first suggestion that patients with DH also have an enteropathy identical to coeliac disease (celiac disease) was made in 1967. This was confirmed by showing the enteropathy cleared with gluten withdrawal from the diet and recurred when gluten was reintroduced. It was subsequently shown that all patients with DH have evidence of a gluten enteropathy...

    My understanding is that xanthan gum has to be grown on some medium and corn is frequently used. So some corn allergy lists put xanthan gum down as something to be avoided because some people do react to the corn-grown stuff. I guess this is analogous to the status of blue cheese & the gluten intolerant. Or is everyone agreeing on that one now ...

    According to two lists I've seen, yes. Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link (These confuse me about rum and scotch, both of which I like, too ) This description says that the yeast in beer, wine, and cider is "negligible": Open Original Shared Link This description makes it seem that no alcoholic beverage is completely...

    You had a positive reaction to going gluten-free and even after an extended gluten-free period, you had villi damage consistent with celiac. It seems completely unnecessary to go back on gluten to do blood work. There is more a risk of false negatives with blood work than for false positives with biopsies, after all. Biopsies are supposed to be the "gold...

    The essential problem with dairy are the inherent components of the product -- the casein, the lactose, the dairy fat, etc. and the effect they have on the human body. All the nasties that might be created by commercial production just add to the problem. I am unaware of any published, peer-reviewed study showing that people consuming raw dairy are healthier...
