    You can buy it by itself or in multi-vitamins anywhere vitamins are sold. No need for a special trip to the health food store. It will also be at drug stores, and even some supermarkets. Here is an article about B12 supplementation. It's written for vegans but it contains information of use to anyone: Open Original Shared Link As you can see...

    ARCHIVED Vegan?

    hathor replied to melrobsings's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut

    I've been following a vegan diet for over six years and went gluten-free two weeks ago. I haven't found either difficult. There are days I have neither salad nor beans You can choose from veggies, fruit, legumes, nuts, seeds, gluten-free grains, and soy. A meal will be satisfying if you pick a starch and work around that. Examples: potatoes, sweet...

    Oh, I don't mean to whine. They do sell gluten-free food and drink, just not the stuff I want I don't know that I could get a doctor to explain why I need hard cider I haven't been officially diagnosed yet, anyway. I try to stay away from doctors all I can. I'm awaiting my ordered Enterolab tests now ... I'm sure the selections will be better...

    Hard cider sounds like a great idea, but I'll have to do that watching games at home. They don't allow you to bring in your own food or drink at all -- even water. And they search your bags on the way in. The idea is to force you to buy the expensive stuff the vendors sell inside.

    IMHO Bud Light is more like water than beer. Maybe that's why he could drink it without difficulty. Good thing I prefer wine or scotch. But if I'm still going gluten-free come baseball season (no diagnosis yet and this is only my second week on the diet), I don't know what I'm going to do. It just seems wrong to sit there drinking wine or not...

    This reminds me of the problems they got into for saying their fries are vegetarian, when they weren't.

    ARCHIVED Annoyed With New Doctor

    hathor replied to corinne's topic in Doctors

    If it were me, I would have refused the tests I knew nothing about or felt were unnecessary. I know it is easier to look at things in retrospect. But for the future, people should realize that it is up to them what tests or treatments they have, not their doctors. (A couple years ago, a doctor insisted I needed surgery on my knee. I said I wasn't...

    I was researching this just the other day. I just googled the subject again just now (you can do the same for more information and sources) and every site I look at says you can get too much -- kidney problems, interference with calcium levels, affecting other medication you might take, etc. One example: Open Original Shared Link Personally I wouldn...

    I've been following a low fat vegan diet for six years and a gluten-free one for almost 2 weeks. So I'm in the same boat. I haven't gone searching for any fake meats. I've cut back since I read the following about isolated soy protein, which many of these products have: Open Original Shared Link If you prefer, here is a video of Dr. McDougall speaking...

    Here is a description of an elimination diet: Open Original Shared Link I'm sorry -- I realized after this post I replied with the same information in another thread you started ...

    Have you tried an elimination diet? You start out with things that few people react to, then slowly add things back in to see what you can and can't tolerate. It takes time, but it may be better than guessing, multiple tests, etc. Here is one explanation of how this works, what foods you start out with, etc.: Open Original Shared Link

    ARCHIVED Dizziness

    hathor replied to allison's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    Something to try -- Some years ago I got off the ship following a short cruise and found that I felt like I was still onboard. It didn't go away; my doctor prescribed something which didn't work. So I did a lot of research on the internet and discovered what I had (MDD). It is something for which there is no test and so there were plenty of doctor...

    True, but the web site goes on to say: "The manufacturer is one of a select few in Italy who are authorized by the Italian Ministry of Health to produce gluten free pasta. The factory tests for the presence of gluten during each production cycle. Independent testing is also done at a laboratory in the United States on each lot before the products are distributed...

    Have you tried cutting out dairy? This seems to be a very common cause of sinus problems. I used to get sinus infections all the time. Once I stopped the dairy over six years ago, I haven't had a sinus infection again. I've heard from others who have had the same experience or have noticed that they got less mucus-y once this was done. Another possibility...

    Thanks for the suggestions. I'll definitely try them after I get the ingredients. I was doing some internet searching last night and ran across these two that looked interesting: Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link Has anyone tried them or heard from someone who has? mamaw, I've definitely learned the toasting thing for...

    If you eat a normal plant-based diet, you will get enough protein. It isn't necessary to have meat, dairy, soy, nuts, or stuff yourself with beans. Actually Americans on average get way too much protein and it isn't good for them. See Open Original Shared Link and the linked articles. I don't eat meat or dairy. I only have a smidge of soy over the...

    Congratulations for taking charge of your health. That's the first step. Then realize that each day you take care of yourself you are going to be getting a little better. My suggestion -- and feel free to ignore it if this isn't what you are up for right now -- is that you should go on an elimination diet. You have found a number of food allergies...

    $3.49 for 12 ounces. I thought it was worth it, though. It was so great to have a nonmushy pasta. We sauteed some dinosaur kale (first time trying it -- seems milder than the regular stuff) and added that to the sauce, too, so I felt especially healthy. We follow a vegan diet, so finding a good pasta is important.

    I've got a different shape in the pantry; I'll see if that makes a difference too. I'll also be the one to cook it. I really appreciate my husband cooking on the weekend, but he never wants to test pasta -- or anything else. (So whether things are mushy or crunchy seems to be a matter of luck Still, better than cooking all the meals myself!) Others...

    Perhaps if you do some reading about the problems with consuming dairy, beyond your own inability to assimilate it, you won't be as tempted. To get you started: Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link Dairy animals also live some pretty awful lives -- you might be able to motivate yourself that way. ...

    I've only been gluten-free for a week. What I miss the most is a nice nutty-flavored, whole grain bread. Any good recipes or loafs I can order? I bought the high fiber, gluten-free bread Whole Foods had and thought it was awful -- dry and tasteless.

    I'm new to going gluten-free and this board. So perhaps you all know this already. But last night I tried a gluten-free pasta by Bionaturae that was great. I had tried the Tinyada pasta people seem to like so much, but it seemed too mushy for me. (Or perhaps my husband overcooked it ) Anyway, the Bionaturae stuff cooked up to al dente very...

    How soon did you see an effect from going gluten-free? I guess getting that amount of magnesium each day would be very hard to get from food. Is this something you are supposed to take indefinitely or are you to cut back slowly once the constipation (hopefully) because a thing of the past? Is a magnesium supplement something one could get dependent on...

    First of all, I think if you are eating real food, you aren't going to have a completely nonfat diet. Most foods have a tiny amount. I believe the average content of the McDougall diet is 7-10 percent fat. If you go to the McDougall web site, you can see a great deal of information about fat and its role in human nutrition, disease, and the like. His...
