    So while my deft maneuver (D'oh!) illuminated the depth of solidarity in Rachelville, I'm left wondering whether my basic premise is universally false. I'm asking for all of your opinions (no need to provide reasons or substantiation) on the following scenario. I've read enough of most of the regulars' posts to trust your opinions. One thing I do ask...

    LOL thx but I'll be fine w/out a Spice Girls-style name. Hehehhehe

    Only four minutes until a shuttle launch! Always an amazing spectacle.

    Used to. A lot before going seriously 100% gluten-free. Worst ones faded quickly, lesser ones w/in 2-3 months, I'd guess. There was peripheral neuropathy where for example I might suddenly feel like I'd stepped on tack, tho I was lying down. Weird things that could happen to any part of the body - not just feet or extremities. There was cerebellar ataxia...

    It happens all the time. Following link goes to a summary of a study by the esteemed Dr. Green at Columbia U. https://www.celiac.com/st_prod.html?p_prodid=1023

    Yay! Happy for u too. I'm feeling good enough from going soy-free last week that I'm off to play bball for the 1st time in easily over a yr!

    Rachel, I wasn't questioning your personal health issues or decisions. I tried to present an opposing viewpoint on the topic of lingering candida. Apparently that makes me argumentative. Seems more like a mars/venus thing to me. Sorry if I offended u or anyone else.

    "Out of context"?!! I quoted an entire paragraph!! But let me say I WAS reluctant to post what I was thinking, as I was pretty sure it would be stirring up a hornet's nest. But for an extreme example of misunderstanding or taking something out of context - I think I just got accused of calling an untreated celiac "healthy" !! How insane is that...

    Rachel, It was not my intent to "attack" u for your personal choices. I know it could feel that way and I apologize for that. I wanted to present an opposing viewpoint to a specific situation. That being where someone w/ candida feels they aren't getting better while putting in a ton of effort to adhere to the diet 95% or 99% of the time. I keep seeing...

    See, this is the part that's an oversimplification. Going by exactly what it says [edit added here: the following sentence fragment is MY extrapolation of the notion presented in the paragraph quoted above ]- a celiac who even just by coincidence was gluten-free for 1 day would have no symptoms that day. We all know that's false. The problems linger and eventually...

    1) "gluten-free for 4 years" - did u mean on strict anti-candida for 4 yrs? Otherwise it makes zero sense. Of course the candida doesn't go away simply by going gluten-free. In case u *did* mean strict anti-candida diet for 4 yrs, then of course either they've been cheating on the diet or something else needs to be addressed. 2) No one has ever been on...
  12. tom
    Neither did I. Why would u say that?
  13. tom
    But the untreated celiac certainly can. Especially when symptoms have progressed well past the D and 2ton nausea (e.g. ataxia, peripheral neuropathy, constant bone pain, migraines etc - https://www.celiac.com/st_prod.html?p_prodi...-15104373588.a8 https://www.celiac.com/st_prod.html?p_prodi...-15104373588.a8 )

    My god what's next - the need to taste moon dust yourself before believing it's not made of cheese? IT's THE GLUTEN!!
  15. tom
    I don't think that's anywhere near true, unless maybe the celiac was caught way b4 massive damage occurred. That'd be like saying a horribly sick celiac who doesn't have candida would be fine the day after they go gluten-free! It's such an incredible over-simplification to act like a celiac who goes gluten-free doesn't still have immune system problems...

    I never had a problem w/ either but I like the flavor of the dry-roasted much more.
  17. tom
    Yucky I had a 116 food ELISA test that only said yeast, tho I'd get a reaction from a big bunch more. And like anyone w/ bad candida, I was highly affected by food-borne molds. The smelling example was to highlight that I didn't even have to eat them.
  18. tom
    Jenny & anyone else interested, I bumped into a bookmark for a good anti-candida recipes site. Open Original Shared Link Hope it helps tho I know many recipes have ingred diff ppl can't have.
  19. tom
    A water what from who? LOL just kiddin' Aw dang I thought it would show up immed after the quadruple post.
  20. tom
    Ya the candida die-off is more like the flu. A little nausea thrown in but nothing like the all-encompassing 2ton nausea gotten while eating the wrong things. My die-off was 2.5-3 days. And wasn't until the ND's pills. On the diet I was just feeing better every day for a week.
  21. tom
    No "nuts or seeds period" sounds like a nut & seed problem more than a mold problem. I don't know how anyone can be much more sensitive to mold than I used to be. Dizzy in 2 seconds if I smelled dried herbs - not super old nasty ones that a healthy person would question. Certainly peanuts and many other nuts (I think those w/ higher oil content...
  22. tom
    Well, first, I was talking about just a 1 day experiment. Certainly there's no noticeable die-off in 1 day. And I think not in 3 days either. For me it was more than a week on a strict anti-candida diet before I got to see the Naturopath, and it was the pills from her that correlate to the timing of the die-off/herxheimer reaction.
  23. tom
    I don't know if either of these is in Anch but I had great luck at Ross and Marshall's. I know I know, those are clothes stores, but they both have home&kitchen areas too. I got almost all of my pans there for ~1/3rd of the list prices. Big heavy $40-50 pan for $12-15! Or just semi-fancy $20 pan for $8. Or a decent set for a far lower per-pan price...

    I'm positive that the underlying cause can be untreated celiac alone. There doesn't HAVE to be a more exotic underlying cause.
  25. tom
    Brown rice syrup is a sweetener. Certainly a more healthy sweetener, but a sweetener nonetheless. I don't remember seeing it allowed on any of the anti-candida sources I used, tho I know I saw it as one of the 1st sweet things to try re-introducing after a month or whenever. I do occasionally have it now but didn't have any (or any other sweetener) for...
