    And dont forget plantains. Here in Tampa I can buy them whole and ready to bake with nothing added to them. We have a large Hispanic population that supports these yummy foods. But see if you can get them. Sweet Potatoes are in the Morning Glory Family. So eat up!!!

    If you can swing it, I would get the stool and genetic with Enterolab. And it sounds like SCD is your answer (which is naturally gluten-free). SCD is a very healthy diet, especially once you get through the introductory phase and can eat everything allowed on the diet. It is working great for me.

    Jenny your T3 is in the dump. Do you have symptoms of hypothyroid?

    I make yogurt with homemade almond milk. A cup of raw almond whirled in my Vita-Mix with water for 10 minutes which gets it the perfect temp to add the starter (GI Pro). I bought a yogurt maker wit 8 serving size cups. It works great!

    Soups and salads are filling but offer little by way of calories and can actually fill you up so you eat less calorie dense foods....and you lose more weight. Add some nuts and seeds in. Nuts dont raise the BS much at all and they give protein and good fats.

    I mentioned there was a war raging in me for about a week. Then it calmed down and at about 2 weeks the bloat went away. Believe me, it is hard to "ride it out". Make sure you are drinking tons of water so you dont get dehydrated. You can also cut back on the amount you are taking so die off isnt as severe. Did you start with one cap? Or did you...

    Nothing I have said goes against your model. I was recommending things that could help including low sugar fruits. I dont think that ALL Celiac is triggered by candida. I find no support for it, nor was it my experience. I also dont personally believe that if I have a bacteria, virus, fungus or whatever that I will have it for life. I believe in...

    DH eats gluten away from home.....and he's pretty good. But I cannot compare as I have never been with a gluten free guy.

    ABSOLUTELY!! If you read a lot of threads you will hear countless testimonials of Moms who put their children on a gluten free diet with amazing results when the tests said negative. My understanding is that in young children their immune system isnt fully developed yet, so they do not produce enough antibodies to give a positive on a test. But they...

    Interesting theory. There are many. I read a paper the other day that says you MUST eat fruit to kill candida because the fruit actually feed the good bacteria. And if you "starve" the candida......you "starve" the good guys too. There are always opposing views on either side of any problem. Published papers for both sides on many issues as well. The...

    I see this topic has taken a sweet detour. It is more dense. But I like it. Neem is an herb. Google it.

    I dont recall that either. Everyone was simply giving him information as to how you can get glutened after you touch gluten. Not that simply touching it causes glutening.

    They are safe if you cooked them yourself and confirmed that all ingredients were gluten free. If the fries were dropped into a fryer, it is likely a "shared" fryer with other gluten coated foods. The eggs could have been scrambled in a pan or on a hot surface that was also used to make pancakes or such. Some places actually add pancake batter to the...

    Congratulations on your recovery!! 25 years. Awesome. Many get angry. But what I have learned is that I am not "different". My husband cant eat fish. My best friend cant eat chocolate without getting D. One friend has RA and cannot eat any nightshades or grains. Another friend cannot eat any starches. My husband's best friend is allergic to...

    Yes call them! Ask if the shrimp/corn on cob/clams use fresh water and not "pasta water". It has happened to me.

    I have seen ranges from 3-4 up to 10 for the different tests. It really depends on the lab. If you know what lab you used, you can call them and ask for the range. Some have ranges posted online.

    A warm bath in Epsom Salts will get magnesium in as well. You really have to be careful about adding supplements because Magnesium has to balance with calcium. If you just add magnesium supplement, you could throw something else off. Best to get a balanced multiple if you want to supplement or feed foods higher in magnesium and try the baths. Magnesium...

    I also think it is important to challenge with a pure source like "cream of wheat" and nothing else added.

    I always share, but point out that this is my experience only. You may in fact have a very different one. And if you try what I did, it is because you did your own research and are being responsible with your own health. I make you no promises that it will work for you. Goodness knows that over the years I have tried things that worked for others, but...

    I dont know the ranges, but I have never seen a range that would put you into the Celiac range according to the tests. But it sounds like you already have your answer.

    This is an SCD recipe I modified to suit me. Spice Cake With Creamy Vanilla Frosting 4 T. butter (I used coconut oil), melted 1/3 c. honey (I dont really measure precisely and probably used closer to 1/2 cup) 1/4 tsp. Stevia

    Ill PM you Liz. You might not shoot, but a firing squad might develop quickly.

    First it is VERY IMPORTANT that he get adequate liquid when receiving extra fiber or that very flax in the bread could be contributing to the problem. Fiber alone is never the answer unfortunately. If he doesnt like to drink, you can sneak liquid in by making yummy frozen pops, smoothies and such. You can add to them Benefiber which has no smell, taste...

    I am like Deb. Life goes on. I make the best of it. I came in here when I was "searching". But once I "found", I stayed to help others. You wont hear me whining too much. But it is nice to know that if I need to, I have a safe place to do it. Many of us seek out support when we are hurting and this helps in our healing. To some people it might...

    If you read through enough threads here, you will find that Hashi's and Celiac/Gluten Intolerance are married to each other.
