    Welcome! How long gluten-free? The first few months can have a range of "strange" symptoms as the body heals itself. Sometimes one can feel worse before better. Also, a lot of people who have gluten issues need to cut out dairy (at least for a few months) for the body to completely heal.

    Your poor daughter's body is in an uproar right now. There is literally a "war" going on inside of her. When I killed off my critters, I had ups and downs....die off for a few days and then some calm....then another flare.....It took a good month for everything to settle down nicely. Then I started a different "killer" and the process repeated itself....

    Mike I saw my first result 2 weeks in when it was time for my regular migraine and it didnt happen. In over 5 months I have not had a single full blown migraine. When before gluten free I could have expected 10-12. The depression lift was gradual and the neuropathy took about 4 months to start to improve. I still have a little ways to go there. The vertigo...

    I dont know what he likes to eat but fruit and nuts are good and easy. Lundenberg rice cakes with nut butter (make a sandwich with them). Corn chips with a little plastic disposable container filled with refried beans. Canned fruit with flip-top lids. Fresh fruit (apples and bananas store well and aren't messy to eat). Gluten-free dry cereal in zipper...

    I found this. It is very recent: Open Original Shared Link But keep in mind that the people that work at fast food places might not be as careful as you would like. There is ALWAYS the risk of CC and he could get sick. If it were me, I would find a way to squeeze in at least a small backpack with foods he can eat that do not require refrigeration...

    Everyone has their own unique experiences. But many people in here have actual knowledge. Not just opinions.

    My coconut yogurt turned out tart and sweet. I added that little bit of honey. So it clearly allowed for bacterial growth.

    It produces an acid that helps discourage the growth of unhealthy bacteria. And it also helps process cholesterol. I dont think it is useless. But it should not be abundant in an adult intestine. Kefir is one of the oldest probiotics and it does not contain bifidus. No need to supplement it.

    Childhood diabetes = high sugar cereals, soda pop, candy, white rice, white flour PLUS sedentary lifestyle The kids just follow Mom and Dad. All likelihood is parents have diabetes or pre-diabetes too. It breaks my heart to see the parent at the supermarket shove a cookie in the face of the crying baby. Teaching them young that "sugar" makes you feel...

    I was raised on a farm myself and am not afraid of hard work. I would do whatever I had to. I am also one of those people who would eat small birds, grubs, wild blackberries, wild grapes and whatever I could find that I know is edible. Even dandelion greens. No problem. I do tend to always have way more food in storage than I could eat in 3 months...

    They (Bob's) just sent me cash to replace my purchase. I told them they could send me a store coupon and they said they didnt have those.

    The Vitamix heats the milk up nicely as it whirls. About 110 is what I shoot for. No more than this. Takes about 5 minutes on med/high speed. I use a thermometer. I never tested my yogurt maker's temp. But it works well. I have made both almond and coconut milk yogurt. I used the young coconut. This is my maker: Cuisipro Donvier Electronic...

    You are right. It is like comparing apples to oranges. But you suggested it to me in place of chocolate...hence my comparison. If you can look at it as being carob and not a replacement for cocoa then you might be on to something. A long time ago when I was vegan I used to make my own homemade "raw" almond milk and I would add a scoop of carob to...

    Yes....I want to know how to get fat just added on my boodies too. IF there was a food that could do that......A lot of cosmetic surgeons would be out of business.....

    Mark...I can eat sugar in any other form without rebound depression. Chocolate just kills me. I will go a year without it and then try it again. I have retried it probably once every year for the last 15 years. EVERY TIME I get rebound depression. And it isnt just the "blues" either. It is in the "pit".....thoughts of suicide....nothing interests me...

    Have you at least had a Genetic test to see if you even have the genes to be Celiac. If you DO NOT then you might benefit from something like Glutenease and you can also know that you arent damaging yourself on an auto-immune level. If you DO have the genes, then you can know you need to be very diligent.

    Anytime you add a new supplement to your routine, the outcome can be unpredictable, so YES wait until after your marathon. Take them when you do not have to be somewhere important. A nice relaxing weekend. For me, the bloat got a little worse for about 2 -3 days and more D. But then it started getting better and eventually went away. Now I only bloat...

    Here is high calorie yummie with no baking: Corn chips with refried beans, salsa, avacado, sour cream and cheese if you do dairy. Throw on some sliced olives for grins. THAT is a lot of calories.

    Do yourself a baking favor and buy the book "Cooking Free". It is amazing. It explains all of the flours, how to interchange them, and all other baking ingredients for gluten-free. She gives substitutions for everything. And the recipes are easy to follow.

    Hey just wanted to mention that I made the coconut yogurt. Bought a fresh coconut. Only put the white flesh in my Vitamix (worlds greatest appliance ever!!!) with water and some honey. Blended until the right temp. Added my yogurt starter, poured into the cups and let ferment for 9 hours. It is delicious!!!

    I find ground chia seeds work the same as Xanthum Gum. Which I can never spell.....LOL

    I lean on my trust and faith. In my life, there has been trouble and heartache and very LEAN times, but G-d has always provided for me. So I do not spend my time worrying. I am a "problem solver" and less of a worrier. So when crisis hits, then I figure out what I need to do. I will prepare to a certain extent if I see danger on the horizon, but I do...

    Elf...I would not trust Glutenease because you could be Celiac. At the very least, you should get the genetic tests to see if you have the genes. If you have a POS response to the diet (but unable to get dx by blood and biopsy due to your gluten-free status) having the genes should help you believe that the chances of you being Celiac are very STRONG. ...
