    Boooooooo! I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling deprived (or is that depraved?) Now I feel bad for talking up Firefox. I've been using it since beta (pre-release) and never had nor heard of a problem like that. Grrrrrrrrrrrr That SO blows! I can't imagine what went wrong and wish I could help solve it and keep u away from bug-filled/security-hole...

    "Only symptom"? I think EVERY symptom I read could be from candida & the often co-existent leaky-gut and the additional food sensitivities created by leaky-gut! It is ABSOLUTELY making u tired. And I'm pretty sure (>85%) the 3 combined conditions can cause the inflammation. Wait - make that 95%. Confirmed Candida problem = go on a strict anti...

    LOL Love that martini quote!! Your two contrasting positions on alcohol bring me to what could be a telling symptom. Or maybe the 3rd position is Pseuzee's liking BOTH taste & feeling. Anyway, maybe I fill the remaining quadrant of this 2x2 matrix. (Or maybe that's total bs now that I think of it) So, tho I would enjoy both the taste &...

    Wow mia that's a pretty impressive amount of home-made healthiness for someone w/ little (or less) appetite. I dunno what brand of soy ice cream u refer to, but a great one w/ perhaps less sugar is SoyDelicious, but not all of theirs. There are maybe 5 out of the dozen+ which are fruit-sweetened (pear/apple juice), easily seen by the green banner on...

    Aw hell I guess I missed Oprah today!

    Avocados are in the 'edible' side of the ledger in, I think, every strict anti-candida diet I've ever seen. As far as mold inside fresh produce, I remember only melons. Can't be a ripe melon w/out it.

    In a similar situation I found a solution. I'd use the little ~2oz plastic bottles I found at target near the sample-size products like shampoo or whatever. They come empty. I was at first looking for a bottle of some innocuous something that I'd pour out. There were 2 different types of tops, one much preferred as far as leakage prevention - so if u...

    Yet I read your diet and dream of the day I can eat that. Currently so little of what's on your list.

    Yes but I always know where the unequivocally greatest local coffee shops are - where by definition the beans are roasted on the premises. My last 3 residences I've had them not too far. Best was just down the block. Can't say I'm positive they all decaffed w/ swiss process. Just 2 of the 3 I'd be certain of. Starbucks is so often just a liquid candybar...

    LOL Well, then, I'm obliged to tell a tale for your amusement alone. I started w/ the SaX in 5th grade. By Jr High I was getting pretty good at SaX. I almost quit, but then got my 1st girlfriend directly due to my SaX skills. She played flute, but it was a school assembly, performing solo SaX in front of EVERYbody that piqued her interest. Some...

    Sorry to be a motif-thief pseuzee but, <you said malfeasance> Or motief-theegh? Re: no appetite - been there. Far too often I was too weak to make anything and would either have almond butter or nothing. Fell asleep on the couch hungry. And this wasn't even during the period where I lost 50lbs in a few months w/out trying. Wasn...

    Hey everyone I started my 1st thread! Or at least 1st since aught-four. Open Original Shared Link It's about neurogastroenterology(sp?) and a Columbia U. Dr. and author who was strangely on The Colbert Report last night. The show is rerun once more, either @9:30p or 8:30p on the Comedy Channel or Comedy Central - whatever it's called. Very odd...

    Me? What area? OH? Who?

    1st, congrats on starting the diet and feeling better! 2nd, it is all too common for biopsies and/or blood tests to be false negatives. If u hadn't started eating gluten-free (and DO have celiac), u would have started to at some point in the future after one or both tests finally proved it. I've heard of as long as YEARS later. 3rd, u may actually not...

    I agree w/ all of that. My PN is nearly completely gone after gluten-free diet. The remaining occasional symptoms are so minor I can't positively say it even IS PN! It's on this list, along w/ many other assoc problems. Definite https://www.celiac.com/st_prod.html?p_prodi...-15104373588.a8 Probable https://www.celiac.com/st_prod.html?p_prodi...

    Ya that does make sense. But sax, guitar, keys etc came so easily!! While my only instruction was from a book, seeing that dang 5yr old nephew work so easily at a level so beyond a little kid, does, to me, prove there's an innate aspect I'll never enjoy. I did paint for months, and wasn't even once remotely pleased. So . . . . . . .gimme a bouncy C!...

    1) Bubbling intestines I've had tho not for quite awhile. I'd say it's either directly candida-related or u ate something you're sensitive to. (Not talking gluten) 2) If they had a minute miniscule microscopic bit of mold, well, strange things happen. I haven't heard of much from the relatively few molecules in the aroma of a gluten-containing substance...

    Dr. Michael Gershon (Columbia U.) was on "The Colbert Report" last night (6/11/07). He wrote a book, "The Second Brain", a topic that I believe is involved in many celiac ailments. Unfortunately, the good Dr. didn't get much time to be serious, but it's easily worth watching. The show is repeated once more (today, 6/12/07), at 8:30p here but I think 9:...

    Omg I remembered something I hadn't thought about for so long. In ~85, my girlfriend (still don't why I fell out of love w/ her) and I were playing phonetic scrabble. I got to use "ghoti" for FISH! Gh - easy O - as in women Ti - shun Could NOT stop laughing while placing it. Wow - the things that can come back w/ a working brain. It...

    I've always thought it's a contraction of Nutritional Pharmaceutical. To me the implication is that, although possibly created in a lab-like setting, its purpose is nutritional. So it's to be digested and/or perform some other function in the gut or directly affecting the digestive *process*, as opposed to a pharmaceutical whose benefits . . . ..argh ...

    Now see here Pseu-zee, I think they most CERTainly can count, as long as 1) the language in question uses our alphabet and 2) it's a word that we can reasonably expect each other to recognize. You CANNOT dispute this!!!!! <tom can't quit chuckling> These guidelines, as described above, are accepted by the majority of local chapters of The International...

    Oh me-o-my-o it IS hard to quit coffee. I didn't start 'til college, but that still made ~26yrs of daily java. [sidebar: on the island of Java, they have no idea what I mean] As we all know, hard doesn't equal impossible. You practically have to enter into it w/ the same type of attitude as a herx. That is - the badness will be temporary and for the...

    I wasn't on at the time and wouldn't have grasped the significance anyway, but I think even the goofiest off-topic posts <hi dingy> have an underlying supportiveness as the basis and therefore should not be frowned upon in the least.
