    Scones are a very personal thing, so I will make no recommendation. However, if you want a digestive biscuit you might try the recipe here: Open Original Shared Link Just be sure to buy certified gluten free oats.

    Yes, the balance between not enough and too much potassium is not easy. Add to that the problem that what they measure in the blood is higher than the amount that is typically in the cells... they normally don't account for that. .I was admitted to hospital for afib, told them it was because my potassium was low (hadn't been able to get gluten free potassium...

    Ahh, you see, this is part of my problem. My food intolerances include potatoes (especially the lectins in the skin), oranges, tomatoes (bye-bye V8 juice). These were all previously high consumption foods for me and probably the cause of current intolerance. And you really shouldn't have more than one banana a day. I do do a lot of smoothies with almond...

    There are lots of ways to use this forum, but here are a couple which might be of use to you.

    Hope you get out of your Polish hell soon, Babs There is a bright side to things. I visited a local fruiterer/butcher today, a little homegrown operation with big aspirations (well, one branch went bye-bye in the earthquakes) but they are slowly starting to expand the range of things they carry. First it was gluten free sausages and ham and bacon...

    Yes, the skin is not only where most of the nutrient content (other than starch) lies, but see also: Open Original Shared Link You should also avoid eating potato peels. About 30% to 80% of the toxin content of a potato is in its peel. That also happens to be where the lectins are, to repel invaders My worst reactions to potatoes were always...

    We need a celiac with practical restaurant experience on here

    From personal experience, I would guess that most hospital cafeteria employees, well.... words fail me! You gotta wonder if they've ever been in a kitchen before.

    Welcome to the forum, King Danilo. I am the wrong one to be answering this question, but the only one around at this time of night I am not a chinese food eater or restaurant frequenter, but if they say it is fine, and your body says it is fine, 7 times!!!, I would guess it is probably fine

    May I say Amen to your attitude, Steve. It seems that with the medical profession, if they have not personally witnessed it, it has not occurred. Well, sorry, we live in our bodies 24 hours a day, and we know what they are doing. The fact that you were out of the loop at that time, doc, ..... well, I'm not going to make that my problem I don't owe you...

    This is taken from a post you made in May 2011: Is all this still true today? Absolutely no change? (I went back to check out dairy and soy-free periods ) Just interested if anything at all has changed?
  17. mushroom
    Before you say there is no soy in your diet, have you considered the following? Open Original Shared Link Food and products that contain or often contain soy Bean sprouts Bread crumbs, cereals and crackers Breaded foods Hydrolyzed plant protein (HPP), hydrolyzed soy protein (HSP) and hydrolyzed vegetable protein (HVP) Imitation...

    For those who are not used to cooking, the gluten free diet can really seem a bit of a chore. The one thing you are going to have to learn to like is cooking if you are going to have a healthy diet. Sure, you can live on boxed gluten-free foods, but most of those foods provide you with a lot of new starches you are not used to, a lot of soy which you are...

    Well, perhaps you could start off by telling us why you think she has other allergies? We might be able to offer a more informed opinion if we have some idea of what symptoms she is showing, what reactions she is having, what her behavior is, etc.

    Celiac disease works on the autoimmune system. Allergies are mediated by the immune system. Totally different systems. Hashimoto's and celiac are both autoimmune diseases. Hay fever is an allergy. Your reaction to melon and cherries sounds like an allergic reaction. These would be measured by IgE and IgM antibodies. Celiac is measured by IgA and IgG...

    I tested very low in B12, and tried taking a sublingual B12. Unfortunately, I broke out in a major rash on my face the next day, so have been taking B12 shots ever since. I initially took them every month. Now I am able to absorbe enough on my own that I only take them every three months. And yes, they have been a godsend, along with the D and folate...

    mushroom replied to sora's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    I am one of those who believe that labels are not harmful, but actually rather helpful. It is something to hang your hat on, to know that there is a reason for the way you feel, and to learn ways to cope with it. Without the label you just feel "different". To know why you are different, to know there are others like you with that same 'difference', and...

    Yes, that's the intention - to bring you back for the next installment. Think about a broken bone. You put a cast on it, it heals and the bone functions pretty well. It may be a little weaker than it was before, there may be some complications in healing depending on the severity of the break, there may be some misalignment, you may still have some...

    And the plus button is if you found a post particularly helpful, while the minus button is reserved for a snarky comment, wrong information or just generally not at all helpful (or even interesting ) You do not have to use either of these - they are strictly optional when you feel strongly about something
