    I agree about eating more fat and protein. We are conditioned to buy low fat foods, so you may need to break that habit. Buy chicken with the skin on, don't buy the lowest fat cuts of meat. If you don't like bacon, add a quarter pound of ground meat to your 2 eggs at breakfast, and skip the tortillas. Grass-fed beef supposedly has healthy fat. If you are...

    I have tried a couple of times with different results. Next time I'll add some nut flour. I made it on the stove and maybe baking would work better. It tasted good but texture was strange. If I come up with anything decent I will post it on the recipe thread. And BTW, does anyone know why sprouts are illegal? Even lentil sprouts? I heard recently that...

    Right, the Epley maneuvers! I thought of this after I posted a reply here. The Epley maneuvers helped me, too. I couldn't find a doctor or anyone else to do it for me so I did myself and it helped a lot.

    You may have bacterial overgrowth of the small intestine. Check out this article from celiac.com https://www.celiac.com/articles/21768/1/Res...ease/Page1.html Lactose intolerance and pancreatic insufficiency are also common reasons why people fail to heal on gluten-free diets, according to Dr. Peter HR Green in his book "Celiac Disease: a Hidden Epidemic...

    I take Pioneer brand Cal/Mag. Some kinds of Pioneer are available from the gluten-free mall. They don't appear to contain soy. Open Original Shared Link

    The legal list on BTVC.info just says coconut milk is legal after 6 months, doesn't specify canned or not. Naturalvalue and some types of Trader Joes contain only coconut milk. Some brands contain guar gum and other illegal additives. I am tryin to create a coconut pudding recipe with coconut milk, eggs, honey and vanilla. Anyone tried it? Any ideas?

    I had a severe attack of vertigo about 25 years ago that recurred every few months in a milder form. I would wake up at night feeling like my brain was swimming around inside my skull and felt like I was standing upside down on the ceiling. Although I still have some residual effects, I have not had a single attack of vertigo since going gluten free two years...

    I know what you are going through! There are many good reasons to be a vegetarian. However, vegetarianism is a learned, cultural behavior and omnivorous eating is a normal biological behavior. You will figure out which works for you.

    Hi Sherri Those chocolate chip cookies in your picture don't look SCD legal! Maybe you could make them with honey, almond meal and raisins. I haven't made coconut yogurt in a while, but maybe I will since my raw milk experiment was a miserable failure ( fatigue, brain fog, tinnitus, post nasal drip). I used one 14 oz can of Natural Value Coconut...

    I confess. I was also a long-time vegetarian, and although never a vegan, ate mostly vegan. Shortly after going gluten-free, I began to crave meat. I started slowly with a little tuna, then added turkey. The first time I ate turkey I had terrible diarhhea, but only the one time. Then I added chicken. I only ate 2-3 ounces at a time and stuck with low-fat...

    I hope you start taking a substantial Vitamin D3 supplement right away. If your doc gives you a prescription for Vit D2, don't bother. I had to take 5000-7000 units per day before my low Vit D level started to budge. Check out these links. It's very important! Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link

    If it hasn't been declared illegal, it should be. It is now made from concentrate, which these days can be as refined as HFCS. When I quit drinking Welch's, my residual digestive issue's disapeared.

    Hi again. Do you have a regular doctor? The eyebrow thing is said to be a symptom of hypothyroidism or adrenal fatigue, I can't remember which. You might want to check it out, since adrenal and thyroid problems go hand-in -hand with gluten intolerance. Have you had bloodwork done to determine if you are deficient in Vitamin D or B12 or folate? Malabsorption...

    Hi ginnybean and welcome I am one of those people who was so relieved to figure out that gluten was the problem that I was thrilled to quit eating it and have never looked back. However, I can identitfiy with some of your other issues. Your family needs to learn that this is a serious health issue for you, not a fad or choice. I suggest ordering a copy...

    Wow, you read the whole 105 pages! I'll bet you found a lot of repetition. So, I'll repeat myself and say that this really is a very simple diet. No labels to read, no bizarrre ingredients to worry about. Just plain veggies, fruits, meat, eggs, nuts, cheese and yogurt. Once a person starts on a gluten-free diet, it usually takes several weeks to eliminate...

    D3 is the over-the -counter kind. D2 is prescribed by (some) doctors. D3 is the kind that works. D2 does not. Ask your pharmacist what kind you are taking. I wonder which kind produces the most profits for drug companies!!

    I just did a "dairy challange" after about 10 months completely dairy free. I ate a little homemade raw milk yogurt for 5 days in a row. My tinnitus got much worse, along with postnasal drip, brain fog and fatigue. So much for dairy!

    Those prescriptions are for D2 which may not stay in the body long enough to help. My friend was just retested after a year on 50,000 units of D2 weekly, and her Vit D level was still extrememly low. The non-prescription Vit D is D3. It is available over the counter at pharmacies and natural food stores in 5000 and 10,000 unit capsules and drops, and...

    Hi Mindwiped, Can I butt in here, too, and come to Ali's defense? I have read through this thread, and, with all due respect, the dairy substitutes you mention are not natural foods. They are highly processed concotions that look like food, but aren't. This is probably what led Ali to believe you are not eating a good diet. If you are eating those things...

    Thanks, Ali. I had no idea that cottage cheese was fermented. I made yogurt last week from raw milk and had no problem with it. I bought more raw milk today and it is cooling right now to make more yogurt. I plan to drain some for SCD cream cheese. I was also wondering about freezing some because I don't really want to eat a 1/2 gallon of yogurt before it...

    This is exactly right. We need grain for wealth, not health. Sorry if I sounded crabby yesterday, I didn't mean to.

    I have a question. I would like to explore making my own dry curd cottage cheese from raw cow's milk. There are simple recipes on the internet for "farmer's cheese" that are similar to panir. Basically heat milk to a boil, add lemon juice, strain out the curds. Does anyone know if this is SCD legal? How do commercial dairies make DCC?

    Now that I have had my little rant for the evening I am going to tell a story. About one year and one week ago, somebody spilled a cup of convenience store mocha on the rubber floor mat in my vehicle. I wasn't able to clean it up right away and within hours it had set to a tough, gum-like consistency. I washed and scrubbed, but it never really came out...

    I am two weeks away from a full year on the diet and I have no intention of adding grains. You might ask the dietitian what human beings ate for the 2 millions years before agriculture. Were thay all brain-starved for grains? What nutrients are in grains that we don't get from the SCD diet? Sorry, but what she says sounds to me like ignorant twaddle. If...
