    ARCHIVED Juicing

    YoloGx replied to CR5442's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Glad to hear you are doing better Caroline! You so deserve to be feeling better, so I am glad something is working for you. It makes me wonder if my friend Graeme should try juicing things again. His intestines are so sore from taking a lot of grapefruit seed extract and uva ursi recently to counteract a bladder infection. I think he had both items a bit...

    It means that person either has an allergy or a sensitivity to that item, or class of items. Often people here with celiac have degraded villi, which then creates leaky gut syndrome. Then undigested proteins, carbs, fats etc. go into the blood stream where the body then often reacts to it like it was a foreign invader. This then sets up sensitivities. It...

    I would wonder about the "Natural Flavors". I often have reacted to them as has my boyfriend. Don't they contain gluten even if to a minute degree?? due to the way the flavors are extracted, often being in alcohol which more often than not has some component of the glutenous grains... unless otherwise stated. It may just be a case of gluten CC, IMHO. As...

    ARCHIVED Aloe Juice

    YoloGx replied to bnova's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Unfortunately the aloe often acts as a laxative. Probably not what you want...

    It is good to let the docs know we sensitives are around. I think maybe there are more of us than many folks are aware of. I count not only my boyfriend and myself, but also our friend and my co-worker Graeme. I never have done well with prepackaged gluten-free foods. Prepackaged flours are difficult all in themselves, as I recently discovered. If I...

    For those that want to learn more about salicylate and amine sensitivity check out the salicylate sensitivity forum. Use the search feature to follow topics of interest. The food lists are pretty extensive. Its free and fun. Hope of course none of you really need it. Skylark, I hope your cold goes away soon! Nettle tea is one of the few teas that are good...

    Dear Gary's Girl and Skylark (and hi to Caroline!), All I know is I have been having a very rough time. My headache came back in spades yesterday afternoon after I just had some regular no fat Brown Cow yogurt from the store. It could be my intestinal tract is all stirred up so it is being very particular and reactive right now. It seemed like these...

    Good for you! It took guts to "expose yourself"! And then just by having your own cake you brought no one thought much of it anyway.... Shows its best to be oneself, especially when everyone is trying to honor you. NO sad sacks here! Meanwhile, diabetes is so much better understood/known than gluten intolerance, eh? But probably by saying what you...

    Hi Skylark. Our bodies seem to be so very particular. The deal is to figure out what that particularity is. One size does not fit all. Maybe just going off the bone broth and fermented foods as well as most of the grains and you will feel fine. Good luck in any case with figuring out the meanie here. I hope too your migraine went away. Mine is still...

    Well perhaps we aren't so different. The SCD did not work for me either. I actually got worse in that sleeping became impossible and my itching got worse. Turns out I have salicylate intolerance, and all that zucchini, sunflower seeds etc. was the worst. I now know why honey is so bad--too many salicylates for me. Ironically now it seems I need to be on...

    The following url is from pecanbread-the scd site. A few years back I followed the scd and therein started making and using 24 hour fermented yogurt. This post referrs to that plus gives a recipe or two on how to make salt free fermented cabbage either plain chopped or the juice. I thought some of you might be interested: Open Original Shared Link

    Here's some good easy to follow instructions on how to make one's own sauerkraut. I add in some fresh live whey from my yogurt or some probiotics to hasten the process as well as make sure it ferments the way I want it to. However most people don't bother. Either way it should end up delicious: Open Original Shared Link

    I was thinking about talking to the suppliers just because--though its a good recommendation that you have been using them safely too. Some places get grains back from friends and customers and I worry about likely CC. I am interested in both the water Kefir and the milk Kefir. I am going at thisa little blind, since I haven't really even used either....
  14. YoloGx
    I agree. Though even if I made a show of it, I wouldn't actually eat any of their food since its likely CC'd. Just don't rub your face!! if you know what I mean... In a moment of glad-handing and making the rounds you could put part of it down and then eventually all of it in some convenient out of the way spot...If anyone asks you could say "Doctor's orders...

    Thank you for such an in-depth answer to my question concerning where to buy grains etc. plus about the sourdough. Stupid question, I am assuming all these sources offer completely gluten-free grains etc., yay or nay? I saw that the sourdough starter was, but wasn't sure of the rest.
  16. YoloGx
    Sounds like you had a lovely, tasty crop! I would like to find a way to grow them organically if at all possible however given all my sensitivities to everything. We do get organic cabbages at WH, so there must be a way.... When/if I learn how, I will pass it on.
  17. YoloGx
    Well who knows which is "luckier"--to be salicylate or amine sensitive, though some are both. I know of one gal who on top of all that is also oxalate sensitive...not to mention gluten intolerant. Her dietary choices are rather miniscule to put it mildly. I admit to being a little pig headed at times, and don't even want to go there concerning the amines...
  18. YoloGx
    I am salicylate intolerant too, so I get more than my share of migraines--so I feel for you! For me though the migraines seem to be more related nowadays to trace gluten CC. I cross my fingers its not the amines, though cheese like I said can give me a humdinger of a migraine as can chocolate, which as I learned recently is fermented... Plus I don't tolerate...
  19. YoloGx
    Sounds delish! Any advice on growing ones own cabbage? I have always had trouble with moths etc. attacking them. I want to grow them this year however since its one of the few vegetables I tolerate well these days. Bea

    Thanks for the url's Skylark! I have the wild fermentation book. Its nice to see Katz's website and the fact he is coming out with a new book soon. And definitely thanks for the Kefir grain source. I am hoping I can tolerate Kefir--I never have til now. If I can't, I figure my bf can in any case. He likes to drink milk but has had to quit. So this would be...

    Hi Stephanie, I read that using Celtic Sea Salt or Himalayan salt is best. I have used both French and Mediterranean Sea Salt to good effect. For a lot of things you don't need to use salt at all. I recall a recipe on celiac.com I should dig up from the old SCD thread for cabbage inoculated with probiotics--and I believe no salt. The idea was...

    Until you can find safer sources of food, I'd stick with squash and root veggies for carbs for now. I ate that way for 10 months on the SCD diet. Though not to be able to trust the chicken either--that sucks! Any way you can go to some local chicken farm to get your chickens direct??
  23. YoloGx
    Fantastic!! Where do you get your kefir grains by the way? I am thinking of ordering some myself pronto. I am betting if have more fermented foods I will feel a little less sensitive to gluten CC. I had gone off my sauerkraut and home made yogurt for roughly 5 days (I was waiting to get tests done by my doc.) and then got whammied with this irritation...
  24. YoloGx
    I am finding good success in improving my general health by making wild fermented foods at home. Similarly my bf who also has extreme gluten intolerance is noticing improvement in his skin condition, mental focus and energy. And my friend with who also has celiac and likely RA is noticing the home made sauerkraut and home made goats milk yogurt is really...

    Nice! Thanks for sharing. Bea
