    I am curious for those who have both DQ1 and DQ3 what your confirmed intolerances are? Looking for correlations. I am DQ1 subtype 6 and DQ3 subtype 7. I dont know if the subtypes make a difference. But if you have my exact genetic make-up, I am curious what foods bother you. For me so far the ones I know for CERTAIN bother me: Gluten Legumes...

    Mache are a green...like tiny delicate leaves. Very tender. I like them.

    We have 2 Great Danes and 1 Standard Poodle. Danes are the best dogs all around with regard to temperment and activity level (unless you want a dog that needs loads of exercise). Danes sleep a lot. They just want to be loved. But they are BIG. So I vote for poodle too. I have had a miniature and now a standard. They are great. You could...

    Maybe I've found the cure for constipation: celery, mache and apple blended to smoothie consistency. Drink 1 1/2 cup first thing in the morning......LOL

    Well after my 8th poop last night and still rumbling, I decided to have leftover chicken soup for breakfast. I will get some spinach, cucks and some other things to try for a different one. Maybe it was what I used.

    O.K. I started my day with a "green smoothie"....celery, mache (it is what I had on hand) and apple. It was about 1 1/2 cups worth made in the Vita-Mix. Now I have had "D" ALL day..... Is a good sign?????

    Mine went very well too. We went over to some friends and there were 13 of us total. There was a ton of food!! Huge turkey...stuffed of course. Mashed potatoes. Veggies. Fresh made bread. And other dishes (Columbians and Ukranians there). I dont know what the dishes were called....LOL Anyway, at home I roasted a small turkey breast and cut off...

    My homemade doesnt spike my BG at all. I use stevia to sweeten it.

    It's very individual. Oatmeal will spike my BS, but the same amount of carbs in brown rice wont. It is weird. But certain foods spike my BS. White bread used to be the worst for me. Yet I could eat a custard with loads of sugar and not get the spike. For me it is food specific. Even certain "healthy" foods will do it (like carrots will spike me...

    Welcome Rinne and I am glad it is helping you!!

    I avoid soy. I make all my own food from scratch. I cannot eat chocolate at all. I get severe rebound depression. I have challenged it so many times and always regret it. Any food can cause symptoms, you just have to eliminate/challenge to find out. It is no fun, but can be rewarding when you nail it down. My genetic sister, you are on the...

    I am just subbing the pumpkin for sweet potato and modifying an existing recipe. The top will be honey, almond flour, chopped pecans, vanilla, salt and coconut oil. The innards will be pumpkin, eggs, honey, vanilla, coconut milk and coconut oil. I hope it turns out. The ingredients are all good and taste good....so should be delicioius!

    I make mine fresh daily as needed with my vitamix and a jelly strainer. Never waste any.

    For some it takes one of those major consequences (cancer, thyroid disease, diabetes) to make them fully comply. If this is you, then that is just what it will take. I hope you arent that way and can make up your mind right now.

    You and I have the same genes. I had ataxia, vertigo, migraines and neuropathy. GI was minimal.....just going 6 times a day. My ataxia is nearly gone, vertigo is getting there, but the migraines, neuropathy and frequent BM's are all gone. I am not a gene expert, but our genes predispose us to gluten sensitivity, grass allergy and a few others...

    Hope everyone has a wonderful SCD Thanksgiving!! I am roasting a small turkey breast, making an SCD pumpkin casserole and steamed asparagus. We are going to friends. I will be eating my own delicious food and enjoying good conversation. And today is my birthday and we went to Cheescake Factory where the manager is Celiac. He made a delicious Kobe...

    Im making my yummy acidophilus yogurt today!! I cant wait. Feeding the "buttermilk" yogurt to the dogs. They love it.

    Check out the SCD (Specific Carbohydrate Diet) at: www.pecanbread.com There is a thread here as well. It is helping MANY of us heal our "leaky gut", food sensitivities and candida overgrowth.

    Your adrenals sound completely shot (startle reflex and constant fear feeling) is a dead giveaway. Vitamins might not be enough. Ask about a very small physiologic dose of Hydrocortisone. This wouldnt be for life, just to let them heal. Ask your doctor. Have they tested your thyroid? TSH, Free T4, Free T3 and both antibodies. You sound pretty much...

    I had palps, severe anxiety and racing thoughts on Synthroid. It was so bad one night I called 911. I thought I was having a heart attack. The paramedics were so nice to me. But that drug didnt agree with me At ALL!! And I was on a very low dose. I took it for a month and then got off it. Armour agreed with me straight off. But me and my Doc....

    Blessings to you too Henny!! So glad you are healing and hope that you continue to do so.

    Thank you for sharing and I am glad it worked for you. But some people could be putting themselves in grave danger by using this much sodium and even water in such a short amount of time. Those with certain conditions such as Hypertension, Menier's Disease, Potassium deficiency and those on diuretics should NOT do anything like this. Please consult a...

    Give the Synthroid a go. But if it doesnt work for you after a reasonable amount of time, dont be afraid to ask for Armour. I do great on straight Armour, but my Sister uses a combo of Synthroid and Armour and feels amazing. Thyroid is tricky and there is no one drug that works perfectly for everyone. There are many options both natural and synthetic...

    ARCHIVED Quack Treatments?

    ShayFL replied to GF avenger's topic in Doctors

    Any type of medicine (allopathic or alternative) works best if you believe in it. I have tried acupuncture 3 times and it never did squat for me. So now I dont believe in it and will not waste $$$ there ever again. Homeopathy worked for me once. I was having this weird thing happen every night when I went to bed. I would have to get up like 10 times...
