    It sounds like your extended family is being insensitive. It also sounds very clear that your immediate family are all having reactions.

    Pudding (vanilla, butterscotch, etc), tapioca (I make mine with coconut milk and put berries or baked apple slices and cinnamon on top), dairy free ice cream, berry pies, sugar cookies. Hope that helps to at least get you brain-storming I wish you luck!

    I know this is an old topic....but I wouldn't want anyone to actually think that you could become dependent on something like this. That is an old wives tale. People whose bowels didn't work properly started using products like senna or bisocodyl, and their bowels started working. Then they were taken off of the product and their bowels stopped working again...

    I am gluten free. I have been gluten free since 2007, and grain free for about two years. I just wanted to keep updating what has been going on with me, because it could help someone else. Since the original magnesium citrate cleanse (two years ago) didn't work, my doctor had me do it for a second time, where again, nothing happened. I felt pretty...

    I wasn't sure where to post this topic...and I'm not sure why I feel this way, but I have for the past three years. I go to the University of Oregon and when I am in the music building ALL day, I end up feeling super exhausted, can't think clearly, and have a headache, as if I haven't eaten all day. If I am on campus all day, but have classes in other...

    I had many doctors tell me this was normal. BUT I just saw a doctor who FINALLY admitted that this is, in fact, NOT NORMAL. Haven't completed any tests yet, but when my new amazing doctor and I figure out what the problem is, I'll post it. Not that anyone ever responded to this....but it could help someone else in the future.

    I am curious if anyone has ever been "cured" of any allergies, sensitives, or intolerances. I'm not doubting that the food that makes us sick makes us sick...but maybe there was an underlying issue that was solved, and now you can eat rice again! Or maybe you used to be super sensitive to chemicals or personal products, and now you can use them again. (I...

    Maybe a greater percentage of people who identify themselves as homosexual are more open-minded, and listening to what their bodies are telling them (more so than people who identify themselves as heterosexual) so they are just more aware that gluten is affecting them, or have even heard of gluten. Or it could be that because you are homosexual (and/or gluten...

    CANE SUGAR! Cane sugar caused horrible ringing in my ears. And it's not just after I eat some. It could be days later, randomly coming on in the middle of the night...it took a long time to figure out. Now that I eat zero cane sugar, I get the terrible ringing almost instantly after it's ingested. It lasts for days and days and days, even from less than half...

    I told my doctor that I keep becoming allergic to new foods, as well as feel incredibly sick for days and days when I eat any type of sugar, unless it's a whole, fresh piece of fruit. I also can't tolerate ANY chemicals, ingested or on my skin, including non-organic food. He referred me to an allergist, who I am seeing this Tuesday. They sent me a form...

    I'm hesitant to bring this subject up with my fiance as I am not the bread-winner, and already the sole reason our food bill is so ridiculous....plus I am afraid that if I try it out, I will feel better and then it will be yet another permanent expense, and in a way, another "restriction." Do you notice any difference with types of seafood? Are there...

    I also had a mirena IUD and also had horrible cramping after orgasms. I also had severe cramping once when the IUD shifted inside my body randomly. I got it taken out the next day. It scared me to think that this tiny thing could puncture my internal organs or uterine wall. I will never do anything like that again. Or use synthetic hormones. It makes me sick...

    A lot of foods I am intolerant to cause me headaches. The biggest offenders are sugars and alcohol. I can eat most whole raw fruits, but ANYTHING else sweet gives me major headaches. It usually depends on how much of it I eat. If I take a sip of alcohol or eat less than a teaspoon of cane sugar, I will have a severe throbbing headache for at least 4 or 5...

    I have been wondering if eating animals and animal products (eggs) that are sickly (fed grains and who knows what else) is making me ill. I have done everything else I can think of. I eat only organic, whole foods...but not necessarily when it comes to meat and eggs. Has anyone noticed a difference when they only eat the healthy animals? I know that these...

    I have been completely grain free in the past. I was grain free for about 3 years....I was and am still developing more food intolerances though. I use some buckwheat flour now (if you consider buckwheat a grain. Some people consider it more of a seed).

    I don't have any answers to these questions. But it makes me feel SO much better knowing that other people are suffering through the same problems I am. I have been to so many doctor appointments, and not any kind of specialist can find (or is willing/interested in finding out)what is wrong with me. I feel like soon I won't be able to tolerate ANY foods....

    Cane sugar makes my ears ring. Depending on how much I eat, they can ring for days after wards.

    I am also in Eugene. Unfortunately, I have absolutely no good recommendations for you. I have many allergy problems as well, and have seen MANY doctors. Unfortunately, non of them seem to think my chronic diarrhea and accompanying abdominal pains are anything to be concerned about. What I can say, is to never go to Kaiser Permanente in Salem or Portland....

    I've played the clarinet for about ten years, I grease my corks every time I put my instrument together, and have never noticed a problem from cork grease. I am also very sensitive to even trace amounts of gluten. I don't have much brand loyalty when it comes to cork grease either. Vandoren, Woodwind Brasswind, or any generic store brand I buy has never caused...

    So I just got back from my sigmoidoscopy. If I eat corn or (gluten free) grains of any kind, I have horrible, horrible, diarrhea. I still have diarrhea when I don't, but it's tolerable and I can make it through life without being two feet from a bathroom at all times. My doctor ordered this sigmoidoscopy for me, and I had to not eat for 24 hours before hand...

    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    Ok so my 21st Birthday is April 10th (on a Friday!), and I need ideas on what we should do. Obviously, alcohol will be involved. I would just go out to the bars, but I am SO sensitive to alcohol, there are only a few I tolerate. Plus I feel safer using my own glasses for drinking. As of now the only thing I can think of is to invite people over to my house...

    I was have really irregular and different periods from before after going gluten free. I ended up spotting for something like two months, and it seemed there was no end. When I talked to my doctor about it, she thought it seemed incredibly abnormal, but she just had me take a bunch of ibuprofen to make the bleeding stop...not really sure if that's the best...

    I do make sure to be hydrating and eating when I drink. There have been times when I haven't and I paid for it. The problem I am having though doesn't seem to only happen if I drink large amounts of alcohol. I drank some water out of a cup that previously had wine in it. I rinsed it out but apparently it wasn't enough, because I got a throbbing migraine,...
  25. ilikepie
    Yes! That is how it happened to me! First alcohol, then sugar became a problem, causing horrible migraines mostly. I have been battling candida for a LONG time and a while ago figured out that's what the problem was. I started doing the SCD as well. I feel MUCH better, but alcohol is still a problem. I guess my body just won't tolerate it.
