    Over time you just realize what bothers you and you cut them out. I have been corn free for years. It always bothered me. I recently tried adding some back in. It still affects my blood sugar but no other symptoms. I am trying to keep my BS stable, so I wont eat it often...hardly ever...if at all. I dont need it in my diet. I cut out the grains because...

    I agree. Go ahead with the biopsy and then go from there.

    A zinc deficiency can alter your senses of taste and smell. If you are gluten intolerant and eating it still you might not be absorbing this important nutrient very well. Just a thought....

    I will say one thing my husband had to drill into my head in the beginning of our relationship is that MEN DONT GET HINTS AND THEY DONT DO SUBTLE!! What has worked for us is for me to be VERY direct with him. It was sooooo weird for me to do this at first. I was afraid he would get mad if I just said what I felt. But he didnt. What used to piss...

    A great place to find EVERYTHING you need is here: www.stopthethyroidmadness.com It covers EVERYTHING thyroid!! You will need: TSH (3rd generation) Free T3 Free T4 Both antibodies Have them include: B12 Ferritin Folic Acid Iron Vitamin D These are all interrelated to each other. And go with thyroid issues. BE SURE you inform...

    A "few" areas could mean 2. Six or more is better. Maybe you are at the beginning stage with only inflammation. This is good that you caught it early. You should request genetic testing. If you have the Celiac genes and with POS blood and inflammation, you can either stop eating gluten and get well. OR keep eating it until you get sick enough to show...

    Boiled millet has a glycemic index of around 70-80 (depending on the lab) which is in the HIGH range. Millet flour cooked is even higher at around 107 (more than PURE GLUCOSE!!!). When I used to eat it my blood sugar would skyrocket. I couldnt understand why because it was a "whole grain" and so nutritious according to the labels. Then I started...

    It is possible. But some people just get good ol eczema too. Skin issues are common with Celiac and they are not all DH. You could challenge gluten and if they come back get a proper biopsy of the skin along side of the rash. This is the ONLY true way to know if it is DH. But if you are feeling better, I doubt you want to eat gluten again just to find...

    Stevia IS mentioned. Go to the legal/illegal list. It is there. She says no because it's effects are unknown. She basically says no to anything she hasnt researched (better safe than sorry attitude). I use it just fine.

    There is a Dr. Brown who has been successful treating mycoplasma infection with an Abx called Minocin. A lot of doctors support this treatment. Google it.

    Yes it does get better. In the early days I was waking up that early because I was "starving". I ate like crazy for the first 6 weeks. My body was playing catch up. I sleep great now!

    Welcome!! There are lots of topics for you to jump into.

    Most salmon in restaurants is "farm raised" unless it specifically says "wild caught'. But wild caught is soooo expensive that most restaurants do not serve it. Logan's wouldnt. Farm raised will not have high iodine levels. There is ALWAYS the chance of CC in a restaurant setting. You might have gotten gluten even though you checked. IT has happened...

    Here is what I can tell you. Your TSH is NOT NORMAL. The new ranges (were changed over 5 years ago) for TSH are .3 - 3. And the current thinking among endocrinolgist specialist is that that range will drop to 2 being the highest. Most labs are still using OLD ranges. I was severely hypothyroid with a TSH of 2.88. I needed treatment. And adding Armour...

    Here is some good News. Publix is a Florida based grocery store. There are quite a few of them in Jax FL. They carry a lot of health foods and gluten-free food now. Each store is different of course and they stock according to demographics. But any Publix in a middle/upper neighborhood will have health foods and gluten-free foods. Also there is this...

    It is true unless you make it yourself with whole foods, you cannot be certain about any processed food. I make my own almond milk now. I also make hazelnut milk too which is delicious. Im not eating any processed foods anymore. I dont lose sleep anymore over food either.

    tired is right. Many react to Rice Dream. I would nix it. Have you tried the hemp milk. It is very good.

    Where are you in Florida? There is a bakery in Sarasota that is ALL gluten-free. I have tasted some of their bread and muffins. Very good. I have not had their cake, but they do ship unfrosted: Open Original Shared Link These are pricey, but look amazing. Your birthday only comes once a year. Open Original Shared Link Open...

    I believe someone else got hammered by the Pumpkin Spice.
  23. ShayFL
    First of all, you cannot convince someone to take care of their own health. They have to decide that for themselves. You will just cause yourself undue stress by "hammering" them. I know you love them and want them to be healthy, but it will just work against you to press them. We see it time and time again. The best you can do is take care of yourself...

    They are backordered on the GIPro yogurt starter that SCD recommends. I think some are using Kirkman's. I found an acidophilus supplement that makes decent yogurt. But I am using goat milk kefir right now. A local dairy produces it from raw goat milk. It has a strong bite. But it is helping me and I do not react to it in anyway.
  25. ShayFL
    I HIGHLY recommend looking into the SCD (specific carbohydrate diet). I was in your same boat and am doing MUCH better. The SCD helped me a lot. I dont follow it 100%, but very close. I ate corn the other day with no real issues other than I can tend to overeat it in the form of corn chips. I am also now able to tolerate butter and kefir. On the...
