ARCHIVED The Worst Canker Sore Outbreak Ever
mymagicalchild replied to bigapplekathleen's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Sorry, Sweetie...I go back to my first post: use TEA TREE OIL! Because HELLO: it kills viruses. bacteria. goofies. doofies. Gargle with it and put it directly on the sores as they begin to devlop. Put it on your tooth brush to kill the goofy/doofies that live there. Change your tooth brush every 6 weeks. By the way, canker sores are Herpes... -

mymagicalchild replied to jasonD2's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
This REALLY sounds like wishful thinking to me. And I definitely try to avoid that. -
ARCHIVED What Is Up With My Dd And Her Stools
mymagicalchild replied to nitu-752002's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Hi, Nitu...I would go to the top of your "glutenfreeforum" page and type in "gut dysbiosis" in the search bar. You'll get a lot of postings on this site, but what you really want to read is the review on the "Gut and Psychology Syndrome...." book by Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride. There is an excellent review of it on the "westonaprice.org/bookreviews... -
ARCHIVED gluten-free, Df, And Everything Else-f..ruining My Life
mymagicalchild replied to jasonD2's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Sounds like you perceive your food sensitivities to be an unscalable wall that separates you from any of the normal-life experiences that bring humans joy and all the other goodies. You've found a great place to get some ideas on how to scale that wall and probably even say bye-bye to it. After reading your topic, the FIRST thing that popped into my... -
ARCHIVED She Ate Fruit Loops Today
mymagicalchild replied to sugarsue's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I CANNOT wait to try this. I use tortillas all the time and never thought of using them for the one dish missing from my diet. The other day I read on another topic that Trader Joe's has gluten free fresh french rolls. I literally floated out to the car on a French Dip Anticipation Cloud, arrived at our Trader Joe's in downtown San Diego, and found no... -
ARCHIVED How Are You Preparing For The Economic Collapse?
mymagicalchild replied to GregC's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I've been dvr'ing a lot of business programs on CNBC and Blooomberg for the last 2 weeks. I fast forward and listen to the interviews with guests I know to be knowledgeable. Just watched Bloomberg's "Taking Stock" from Friday. Pimm Fox interviewed Mr. Sims, the Peak Oil Theory guy, and he said the problem no one is looking at is the gasoline inventory... -
ARCHIVED How Do I Make My Stools Firm?
mymagicalchild replied to one more mile's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I'd check out doing a complete liver detox. Start with milk thistle/dandelion tincture. Hemorrhoids, I believe, are varicose veins. Organic carrot juice is a great regulator. -
ARCHIVED Crucial Must-read Information
mymagicalchild replied to mymagicalchild's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I just put the link on my "http:" line and it went directly to the article: www.westonaprice.org/bookreviews/gaps.html ANOTHER wonderful article on that website re the crucial importance of cholesterol in your body: www.westonaprice.org/knowyourfats/cholesterol-friend.html Same doctor-author. Includes good info about coconut oil... -
ARCHIVED Toppings For Crackers
mymagicalchild replied to sugarsue's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I love cheese, but usually it does not love me. I've had no problems, though, with the "organic valley" brand of raw cheeses. I get it at Whole Foods, but it's probably available at other healthy food markets. And raw cheeses are probably even more readily available in rural areas. (Since I've discovered the difference in myself, I've seen a lot of info... -
ARCHIVED 3 Year Old Has Identity Crisis
mymagicalchild replied to shan's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Today I found a book review for Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride's book on "Gut and Psychology Syndrome..." that has so much useful information for parents of children with food allergies or intolerance. The book is about the connection between gut disturbances and mental problems. The extended information, though, is probably of interest to anyone reading... -
ARCHIVED Crucial Must-read Information
mymagicalchild posted a topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I just found a book review of "Gut and Psychology Syndrome..." by Dr Campbell-McBride and it's something I wish I had found many years ago. Her research relates to digestive disorders generally. Incredibly useful information. The review is at www.westonaprice.org/bookreviews/gaps.html. The information will be PARTICULARLY useful for parents of newborns... -
ARCHIVED Can Someone Clearly Explain Mild Dh?
mymagicalchild replied to Mballerina's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
I've had them for years. They're usually on my arms or chest/stomach area. I've never thought of connecting them to food allergies, though. They're not a bruise. Kind of like the size of the tip of a pen and bright red. A naturopath told me once, "Oh, those are really not good!" I had a major problem about 15 months ago that made me address intestinal... -
ARCHIVED Pregnant And Hungry
mymagicalchild replied to skichikk18's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
My funnybone is really being tickled by this Topic. Here we are, all challenged to be particular in what we eat, and EVERYONE has so many delicious suggestions. When the human brain and the human stomach communicate, food choices flourish. Gluten-free bread is WONDERFUL toasted, covered with 1/2 an avocado seriously mashed and spread on the toast, sprinkled... -
ARCHIVED Beef Stew Okay?
mymagicalchild replied to dreamindarlin's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
When I was a Much Younger Person (a MYP) we took Dinty Moore Beef Stew with us when we went camping. I grew to connect the taste with bubbling riverwaters, quiet reflection, lazy days and sunsets. Later, when I lived in earthquake-prone Los Angeles, I always had dandy Dinty in my emergency food kit. It was the second-most important necessity to H2O.... -
ARCHIVED Need Help - Positive Blood Work, Negative Gene Test
mymagicalchild replied to gfwarrior's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I think the advice of ShayFL is absolutely correct BECAUSE: If you eat gluten-free and YOU ARE NOT celiac, you will not be harmed. The error doesn't matter to your health. If you do not eat gluten-free and YOU ARE celiac, you will be harmed. The error will be ruinous to your health. I'd also add: the best doctor in the world is your own instinct... -
ARCHIVED Thanks So Much For This Info!
mymagicalchild replied to LadyMac's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
LadyMac, you've still got your sense of humor. And that's a real PLUS! The pH might be something to pursue. An acid condition is a no-no and all cooked foods are acid-creating. There's a local group called Gerson Institute that claims to be able to cure anything with massive servings of freshly juiced organic veggies. They use a hospital in Mexico... -
ARCHIVED The Worst Canker Sore Outbreak Ever
mymagicalchild replied to bigapplekathleen's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
If it's a virus, which it almost certainly is, the tea tree oil can't hurt anything. I've used it on just-emerging canker sores and they never mature. SO SORRY, Kathleen. -
ARCHIVED Thanks So Much For This Info!
mymagicalchild replied to LadyMac's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
The info I've gathered puts a high correlation between gluten intolerance/celiac and candida. The thrush diagnosis would make me CONSIDER the possibility of a generalized candida issue throughout my body. Google "coconut oil and candida" and you'll find a wealth of valuable information. We have an excellent Internist in our area who puts EVERY NEW PATIENT... -

ARCHIVED How Fast Can gluten-free Work?
mymagicalchild replied to sugarsue's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Do you live in a place where the sun rises? Have you cuddled close with your daughter while watching it? Do you live in a place where the sun sets? Have you walked hand-in-hand with your daughter toward that setting sun? Do you live in a place where that sun makes trees and grass and food and flowers grow? And you can gaze at all of that beauty while... -
ARCHIVED How Fast Can gluten-free Work?
mymagicalchild replied to sugarsue's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Hi again, Susan. DO NOT DESPAIR. I'm a firm believer that parents of celiac children have to spend part of every day feeding and growing their senses of humor. It's the only way to relieve some of the stress and guilt and worry. If you can find ANY LITTLE THING to laugh about, you're moving in the right direction. I am a total DOOFUS on this computer... -
ARCHIVED How Fast Can gluten-free Work?
mymagicalchild replied to sugarsue's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Hi again! I just went to the NY Times again and the article is still the 2nd most emailed. I emailed it to myself. If anyone wants a copy of SIX MISTAKES PARENTS MAKE WITH KIDS' DIETS, leave me a message and I'll forward it. There's lots of really good general information that can easily be applied to gluten-free diets of kids. One of the remarks... -
ARCHIVED So... I Have Celiac Disease Huh?
mymagicalchild replied to The Gigglah's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
We just had lunch at PF Changs and it was great. I had the gluten-free lettuce wrapped chicken, but they had 8 or 10 other items. INCLUDING gluten-free beer! -
ARCHIVED How Fast Can gluten-free Work?
mymagicalchild replied to sugarsue's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Hi, Susan...I emailed our daughter (mother of our 12-year old granddaughter) an excellent article published in the NY Times 2 days ago. I JUST went to "www.nytimes.com" and scrolled down quite aways until I found in the lower right-corner "most emailed articles." It's called something like "6 Mistakes Parents Make in Children's Diet" and a few minutes...
