    Eliminating Dairy and Soy for a few months helps many speed healing and clear up other symptoms. Worth a try. Wishing you well.

    This was just NOT my experience. I have had amazing results by following the diet loosely. I eat sweet potatoes and plantains (and a few others now and again) and I have really healed well.

    Many benefit by removing Casein and Soy as well.

    I had doctors look me straight in the eye for 10 years and say "there is nothing wrong with your thyroid. You are fine. Your labs are perfect..........you need a psychiatrist." OR 'You cant be hypothyroid....you are too thin." My TSH hovered around 3. The old ranges went to 5, so all of the doctors said I was fine. Imagine my horror when I learned...

    Maybe they have a "dont ask" and "dont tell" policy.

    Those summer rolls would be tricky with only one hand......

    Many of us discover that GLUTEN is not our only problem. Would try eliminating dairy for awhile and soy. Those can be very bothersome in the healing process.

    If it were me, I would make up a bunch of soups BEFORE the second operation and freeze them. Can buy pre chopped onions/peppers/veggies etc. either fresh or frozen. Pre chopped beef or chicken. Dump in crock pot with broth and seasoning and cook 8 hours or so.

    I wouldnt use ANY gluten containing "flours" in your house EVER. That stuff gets everywhere. Personally, I didnt want to have to always worry and feel sick, so I took my whole family gluten-free (including the dogs). There needs to be one place in the world where I can feel safe. It is my home. Check your fingernails. Dont use teflon that has had...

    Like you, mine was bloating without a lot of end product. I was much gassier before gluten-free. This was different. Yes.

    Not in our neck of the woods yet. Im not eating grains, but would buy for DH and DD.

    Im not sure I would use it continuously. Generally herbs should be cycled. 6 weeks on and 6 weeks off. I know in India that Neem is their most popular contraceptive. Sooooo if you are TTC....DO NOT TAKE NEEM!! That goes for male or female. Neither partner should take it if you want to get pregnant. It is also used in India to control Diabetes. It...

    It took me a SOLID 6 weeks to get through all that crap.....then I started feeling MUCH better!! Hang in their sweetie....there is light at the end of the tunnel. Just be mindful to avoid CC. Dont eat out and muck it up. Stay focused. Tell your husband that once you get through the poop, he will have a new and improved wife. Might even make...

    I like "Cooking Free".

    YOU ARE HYPOTHYROID. PERIOD. I was severely hypothryoid with a TSH at 2.8. I dont feel good unless my TSH is below 0. It is currently .008 and I feel really good. Everyone is different with regard to what TSH makes them feel well. But the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologist ALL agree that 3.00 is the cut off. And there is talk of them...

    If you can find a holitic MD near you that administers "Meyer's Cocktails" that would really help you. They can add B12 to it. It is an I.V. Otherwise, yes, sublingual B12. Jarrow is very good. I would get the 5000 and take 2 or more of those a day for awhile until your levels are back up. For magnesium, I take Pure Encapsulation's Magnesium Gycinate...

    RiceGuy....you were spot on about the coconut oil....your recommendation rocks!! It is the BEST I have tasted.....worth the extra "splurge".
  18. ShayFL
    How wonderful!

    It is funny. I simply do not want gluten anymore. Even if I was not gluten intolerant. From the research I have done, it is just not good for humans to be eating it. Google Zonulin. Read "Dangerous Grains" and "Going Against The Grain". See if that doesnt make sense to you.
  20. ShayFL
    You totally missed the point.....avoid "processed foods" like french fries and mayo. Eat the whole potato or whole egg. You can make french fries at home. Cut up potatos into fry shapes, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and bake in the oven at 350 for 20 minutes or until slightly browned. Scramble eggs and add veggies. Some mayo is gluten...

    The best way to avoid this is to buy/eat simple foods: plain meats, basic spices, eggs, nuts, veggies, fruits, rice, potato (and the like). If you can find it in nature......eat it. There are no donut trees. Cook all your own food at home in a clean kitchen free of any gluten. This will be your saving grace.
  22. ShayFL
    Thanks!!....but I am not going to push my luck and eat tons of chili or red pepper. Just now and again.
  23. ShayFL
    If you go gluten-free, dont bother with the tests as they will not be accurate. You must be consuming a good amount of gluten for at least 3 months (based on what everyone reports) for the tests to be accurate.

    And that lactose is a good bet. You might try cutting it out for a few months and then try again. You may heal enough to tolerate it by then.
  25. ShayFL
    First I will say that if I ate a meal like that.....I would explode. But I assume this is your normal kinda diet. I suspect the Milk Duds too......Or like others said....ups and downs in the beginning. Could also be that ALL that food was not fully digested by the time you took your run. When you exercise, your body shunts blood from the digestive...
