  1. Well..Flax is really good for almost everyone. Why don't you post what you have heard for us? Flax is one of the best things many can add to thier diet..but it goes without saying that not everything is for everyone and we all should check out EVERYTHING before adding it to our diet. Flaxseed OIL yes..be careful with this..but flaxseed..hmmm For MOST the...
  2. Well..while I am reluctant to say anything anymore because anytime I suggest something..you would think I know nothing since someone always follows with a remark as why not to do. I actually pop mine on the stove with really good pure virgin coconut oil and sea salt. The coconut oil is really good for you too..so a added benefit and you aren't cooking...
  3. FLAX, FLAX, FLAX Everyone for so many reasons should eat flax everyday. While the best benefits come from ground flax..I also use who flax as a great source of fiber. I also use whole flax as a snack as one would eat nuts. I try and see how fine I can chew it..lol Plus..we are fresh spinache freaks. Down tons of it daily in eggs and salads. Brocoli...
  4. Usually when I read through a topic..something someone said will trigger a thought. Pertaining to the soy milk at Starbuck's. Here I go again on my carrageenan rant..I do so because I can react to this like I do glutlen..D I believe Starbuck's uses Silk Soymilk..which does contain carrageenan..which can cause digestion distress.
  5. For a quick grab, meal or snack..I am so into the Humm Foods Larabars big time. Speaking of Delimex beef Taquitos..I must be blind. I used to love these things..well..still do..but trying to be good on the elimination diet..but wanted to keep something around that I could have if I really needed a fix. I must be reading labels wrong. Is is just these...
  6. Yes..amazing how many things have soy! When I tell people I am avoiding Gluten, Soy, Dairy, Sugar, etc..they only thing of the stuff directly. They think as long as you avoid 'soy' as a whole or 'corn' as a whole..you are fine. They don't realize how many things contain things derived from these items. I treat it as a game on my own. What can I truly find...
  7. I love the stuff..but had to give it up. Do you have other intolerances to things that may seem gluten like? I had to give it up because I just decided that something in it was giving me a reaction..but not gluten related. I want to say that just like me..something in it doesn't agree with you..but yours sounds like gluten symptoms. I was so thrilled to...

  9. Well..here I go again with CARRAGEENAN. As soon as I gave up my Silk Soymilk..which contains this product..my problems got better. Not sure if it was the carrageenan..which can cause digestion stress and some more serious health problems..or it it was the soy. I have given up so many things. I was in love with the plain sugar free Silk Soymilk. I was putting...
  10. Sorry to hear all this. I will say a prayer for you. I think a lot of people have found out that even though society has taught us differently..social things don't have to be all about food. Many people are on special diets. I an new to all of this and many food allergies and just rescently have become super proactive about an elimination diet and figuring...
  11. I'm kinda confused about the mushroom thing right now. I had been taking Garden Of Life RM-10..but stopped taking it because I was also trying to work a candida into things and I thought that mushrooms weren't allowed for this..plus..aren't mushrooms overall sort of something we are warned to stay away from because of fungal type stuff? Or would the mushrooms...
  12. Some forms of carrageenan are bad for the digestive tract and can cause ulcerations and cancers of the gastrointestinal tract...also overall disruption to the digestive tract. So even though there are different studies out there..I have decided to cut it from my diet as part of my elimination diet in figuring things out. A lot of the almond milks, soy...
  13. Zanthan gum and guar gum. Is the main reason that people choose to use zanthan gum over guar gum is the laxative affect? I have read that as far as productivity..they are about the same and even that zanthan gum has more of an aftertaste and is a 'made' product? Why do more people use zanthan gum over guar gum when there is such a dfference in price? ...
  14. Just be careful..to get back on my carrageenan kick here..lot's of toothepaste contain this too. That's why sadly I quit using Tom's Of Maine. If you are still having digestive issues..check to see if your toothpaste..and/or other products contain this product.
  15. Although I am making huge attempts and progress at not consuming any sugar right now..big task for this sugar toothe..I am impressed to see so many post with the word See's in them. Hands down the best handmade chocolates out there today.
  16. As soon as I read your post..that's what I thought of. If you don't let them know..they will think they did it right.
  17. Evey time of here I read a story like this or one about relatives not understanding or believing..it makes me think of my step mom. She always has to be right. She only believes what she believes and would even go as far as sneaking something in just to prove something. And if you would get sick because of it..she would just say it's all in your head.
  18. I have always loved the Cadbury mini chocolate eggs and the Reese's Peanut Butter cups. I have always had a sweet toothe. Along with fighting Celiac and having mulitiple allergies..I am trying really hard to cut out all forms of sugar. Hasn't been as horribly hard as I thought..but sometimes around the holidays..as we all know..it can get tough. But...
  19. Congrats, good luck and hope it all works out. Was going to also suggest that you take some Humm Foods Larabars with you. Easy, very nutricious and filling. Not to go off topic on you..but when you mention granola bars..something I miss very much. Which one's do you eat that are safe? Thanks!
  20. Yeah..that's what I meant to say..clove..not close. These are so nice to have around for a quick grab. I had really wanted to try this flavor..but couldn't find this one in any of my stores. I decided to take a chance and order a whole box after reading the good reviews. I too was hesitant because while I like ginger to a point..being that these are a whole...

  22. Carrageenan is a thinkening agent, a seaweed derivative, which may be harmful, especially to the intestinal tract. There's still a ton of opinion on this out there. I made my choice to not use anything more that has it in in. Many natural toothepaste do and things like almond milk and soy milk. Since I am on a very strict diet and elimination of things...

  24. Open Original Shared Link I had one today for the first time. Felt like I was eating something bad. When I feel like I need a treat, these will work. Will not be temped to grab something bad that is glutened or sugary. If you like ginger cookies and/or close and cinnamon type things. Do not hesitate.
  25. Sorry..I will say a prayer for you. As far as something easy to make that's filling..if you can do eggs. I was just thinking of something quick and easy since you aren't feeling well and your house isn't how you want it..and I am eating it right now. I am eating something that I never thought would be that filling. I always thought that the only things...
