    Ibuprofen helps me, too. The thing that's helped me the most has been to take a Vitamin A supplement, at least 20,000 IU daily. I used to have periods from hell, no leaving the house. They got better when I was on birth control for a year, but my libido dropped by HALF on birth control, so we use condoms now. So the bad periods came back, and I read that...

    Holy cow, that's so awesome! (Is this coworker maybe a lttle sweet on you? Just curious.....)

    Amen to that, Football. And isn't it great to have a rockin Mama? We must be two of the very blessed few, I've heard some awful stories here. But mine's the coolest ever, I wish I could share.

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! Or you could just get some comedy DVD's to cheer you up, I recommend Robin Williams Live on Broadway. Try to eat lots of avocado, it's good brain food. Oh, and at the health food store is a package of coconut macaroons by Jennie's, they're in a yellow canister. They're just coconut, eggs, and honey. They make good brain food...

    Oddly enough, I used to get the nausea along with diarrhea, and when I took Imodium it helped the nausea. I think a lot of my nausea was caused by intestinal cramping. When that didnt work, my doctor gave me a drug called promethazine, and anti-nausea medication. It makes you very sleepy though, so you'd have to decide how bad you want to feel better. For...

    If that's the case, and I'm no expert, then I'd guess you're probably not ingesting enough soy to be having this kind of reaction. I might be wrong, but hey. Oh, if you'd like a filling trail mix, here's what I do. Sunflower seeds pumpkin seeds gluten-free pretzels banana chips nuts- walnuts, almonds, peanuts, pecans chocolate chips -Enjoy Life coconut...

    I know how you feel. I've finally given up worrying about how the wierd stuff I do on a regular basis appears to other people. For the longest time I wouldn't do stuff like pick a wedgie in a store or blow my nose in front of people. For some reason, sometime in the past couple years, I completely stopped caring. It's not even that I'll never see those people...

    Do you eat a lot of soy on a daily basis? Also, I had very low cholesterol as well. Your doctor is on the right track saying to get lots of calories, but the idea is to get fats into your diet that are digestible. Raw olive oil and avocados are a very good way to do that, and taking a good cod liver oil will help a lot. You actually need cholesterol in...

    Don't you hate that feeling? "I'm a dumba**".............. Worst feeling. When I need to eat out of a bag and my hands aren't safe I 'drink' out of the bag, which really only works with smaller bags, but it keeps the food safe.

    I'm not really sure what a doctor can do for you at this point. Also, be careful with 'whole food' supplements, they frequently have wheat grass juice in them, which i understand is not safe. I would say take a B vitamin complex supplement for now and try to get enough protein in your diet, it will be needed for healing your intestines. Also, try to get a...

    Actually, yeah, I used to have like one day of issues when I got glutened, now it takes me a month to recover. The best thing is to go cold turkey no cheating, because the longer you go gluten-free, typically, the worse the symptoms are when you DO get glutened.

    For apple crisp, I've figured out a pretty darn good recipe and for the life of me can't remeber where I got it. Anywho, here goes. 6 big baking apples, I've been using Macoun 1 cup gluten-free flour, I like a mix of sorghum and rice 1 stick butter, melted 1 tsp cinnamon 1/2 tsp nutmeg 1/2 cup brown sugar Stir the dry ingredients...

    HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!! I just may do that. Sorry you were having a poop day, Lorka. Glad I could brighten it up.
  14. JNBunnie1
    Everyone is different with recovery. Some people are a day or two, I take a full month. I'm a very unusual case though, I've never heard anybody else say that happens, so don't start worrying about THAT. It's usually recommended that people go dairy free along with gluten free, because we so frequently have dairy problems as well. Casein (case-in, pronounced...

    Oh, my, well, I might wait til using the oven wouldn't be a life threatening proposal...... Also, for some reason, dried apricots have always been my favorite 'nongluten' snakc food, when I crave something gluteny. If it's really bad, then it's chocolate covered apricots.....
  16. JNBunnie1
    There's also the fact that you are most likely currently addicted, not to alcohol, but to gluten. I would suggest refraining from that kind of social event for at least two weeks after going gluten free, and then using one of the suggestions made here to avoid the light beer. I know you probably hear this all the time, but you also don't actually HAVE to...

    I just have to say I'm really impressed, I didn't have the sense to have a 'goodbye' weekend before I went gluten-free. god, do I wish I had one last toaster strudel..................
  18. JNBunnie1
    It sounds to me like you might be dairy intolerant. Do you eat much dairy, and do you notice if you feel better or worse afterwards?
  19. JNBunnie1
    Lorka, you rock.

    Has anyone ever successfully recreated milano cookies? If there's anything I really jones for every month (know what I mean....) it's those.
  21. JNBunnie1
    Scuse me for going off topic, but alfredo's a good way to play with Tinkyada too. Just thought I'd mention..............
  22. JNBunnie1
    If you're getting bored with other snacks, try taking sweet potato and slicing very thin width wise, then bake flat on a cookie sheet ( I use melted butter on both sides) til dry on top, flip, bake til crispy. Much more yummy than almost any snack you can think of.

    A really great way to "eat out", if it's not a social thing for oyu and it's just that you're away from home, is to find your local grocer and just buy a package of meat and a package of cheese and some veggies in a bag. If you're really stuck in restaurants, I've found that asking someone to cook plain meat and veggies in a clean pan with just a little oil...

    <----- Hey, check me out, I'm brilliant! Wooooo!
  25. JNBunnie1
    Cindy, I don't think you're going overboard. I even saw someone bring up the idea that a person in a grocery stoe could pick up a muffin and then touch the apples, you eat the apple, you're screwed. I think there is no way we could possibly be too careful.
