    Yes, I would be very interested in learning/chatting more about Candida infections. I am at the point where I am starting to explore it as a possibility in my own healing, and I since I am broke I will need to learn everything I can from you guys and through my own research and experience. I am pretty sure Yeast is a major problem for me right now, and...

    Yes, I definitely know what you mean, Tim. It is hard to watch people be so sick, and not ask the right questions or even want to act on information that you gingerly lay out in front of them. But, it all comes down to what HAK was saying - people don't want to know because they don't want to change. With some of the men I've met, including my brother...

    Yes, and I can raise you one. Yesterday I was at a family function and cheated a little bit on my gluten-free diet (homemade Jamaican Patties and a McDonald's soft ice cream cone while waiting for the train). A couple of days before I also had some cheese. This is about to get very explicit in terms of female symptoms, so people should stop reading if they...

    I needed this thread because I have to admit that BBQ season will be very difficult, because I LOVE BBQ and the food at family gatherings. I think lindajean is on the right track above in hosting your own cookouts, but it is so expensive. I want to learn how to make my own bread and baked treats, AND gluten-free BBQ sauce that will rival all the others...

    I learned something from both of you guys, today. You have me thinking about this a little differently, so thanks.
  6. Calicoe
    Interesting. I'll have to think about this differently, because I've had a very stressful life, especially over the last six years, which is when I got sick. And, I've always been the "hyper" type with body shakes and tension held in the body for no reason, which could easily be described as surges.

    I could not agree with you more. When I received a diagnosis for IBS and a "prescription", I told him I don't take medication for symptoms and walked out. I returned to demand (that's right - demand - medical treatment from an HMO ... can you imagine) a milk allergy test, which also showed other symptoms that he didn't bother to think about. Ironically...

    I soooo appreciate this thread, because I'm trying so hard but I'm still struggling. I've had a number of better days though, and my lows are not as low. I haven't read the thread throughly yet because I have to run out, but I will pay close attention later. I think I have been coping with a millet hangover the last 2 days, and it doesn't make sense because...
  9. Calicoe
    Yeah, I'm struggling with this one as well. The thing is, I am new at this, and new intolerances are coming up, so they look at me like I'm crazy when new things are added to the list; today it is millet. As if I'm excluding things I can eat for .... fun???? I am getting to the point where I am not going to explain or justify things anymore and just...

    Yes, I've had clogged ears for half of my life, especially on the right side. The weird thing is that lately I've been getting a sharp yet dull ache in my right ear, very similar to the sharp tinge I've been getting in my foot under my arch and my hand on the inside under my right thumb.

    You've got the wheels turning in my head now. Prague is a great city too, with lots of BEER around - sniff, sniff. I am starting to notice the TESOL courses with an eye cast abroad. I will PM you if this gets serious.
  12. Calicoe
    I get this too, but I can't remember for how long. I have definitely been getting it over the last few years, with the latest just a few days ago. I get little itchy bumps in between my knuckles and fingers. The bumps look different than what I think are the DH bumps that I get on my legs and torso.

    Don't feel bad Mango04; I live with the Pillsbury Dough-boy Baker, lol. If I give up trying to find a decent professional job and funding for graduate school, I'm going to trade my chips in and go teach English in Hungary or the Czech Republic. I'll come looking for you if that's the case.
  14. Calicoe
    No, I don't mind your vent; I love the girly chattiness of this thread. I just find out about EM on this thread a few minutes ago, and I am unemployed and broke at the moment, so you can bet I am going to order my free samples today! Thanks ladies.

    OK, I followed that link a while back on cosmetic safety, so thanks a bunch for posting it. Apparently, NARS is gluten-free, but has many other issues. I noticed that they use Toccopherol and Bismuth. I'll have to clear out my system and test the makeup again with no other confounding factors. I'm not sure why I am sick again today. Geez, I think...
  16. Calicoe
    That would be me, and I need your support fellow Celiac makeup lovers. I was able to kick the pasta and bread aside with very few tears, but this makeup thing has me up in arms! I finally felt better yesterday after a year of stress and disease, wanted to look cute, reached for my deluxe makeup kit with brand new goodies from NARS cosmetics - eyes shadows...

    Oh, man, I can't even deal with dating right now. I am currently trying to cope with the fact that the lipstick I wore last night may have made me sick today. And over the previous year, I was to sick and diseased to even consider it. Now I have to worry about kissing people who have drank or eaten gluten; this completely sucks.

    I am adopted, and mixed on both the biological and adopted side. My biological mix is Polish/Hungarian on my mother's side, and Arawak Indian/Asian/black/Dutch on my biological father's side. He resembled Colin Powell. So, yes, I am a real hodge-podge. I can't tell from which side I inherited possible celiac disease, because my father's side had what...

    I love this forum, because you realize all of your ordinary, mundane impulses have significance! Since going gluten-free for the last several weeks, I have been hitting the PB and other nuts particularly hard. I have been worried about the PB, because there were some cancer scares about it a while back, but I never understood what it was. I have...

    As for increased allergies in children, that also has a multi-factor orgin: Open Original Shared Link WE ACT initiated and helped implement a pilot study of a group of Harlem schoolchildren. The study (1) found that 75% of the children had visible traces of a substance indicating exposure to dangerous diesel fumes in their bodies. Another study (2)...

    I don't sense that anyone is blaming all of our woes on antibiotics or mercury, but rather taking a very realistic view of the hidden threats that are major factors in human health: overuse of antibiotics, a mercenary and/or disinterested health/pharma/agribusiness industry, and environmental pollutants. By the way, according to many accounts, environmental...

    Excellent description, and thanks so much for your research and encouragement, Rachel.
  23. Calicoe
    You're on. I bet you antidepressant is a code word for "hormonal". Although, I think it's just the modern way of telling women with bad periods that we're still crazy.
  24. Calicoe
    GFP: I also agree with your post as well. I haven't read the entire thread, but I don't think anyone here was completely AGAINST antibiotics, just the lazy and irresponsible way they have been dispensed by our Health Managed Organizations (HMOs) and associated medical culture. They are literally corporations that can't be bothered with actually healing...

    And something else that worries me profusely: CODEX ALIMENTARIUS Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link Codex Alimentarius Summarized 1) Started in 1962 by UN, Imposed by WTO Sanctions Codex Alimentarius was created in 1962 as a trade Commission by the UN to control the international trade of food. Its initial intentions may have...
