  1. Hi, ang1e0251 is right, the white corn flour (masa de harina) is kind of fermented so it becomes better digestible. I've made the same experience as you have. Not with kernels (they're not available here), but with the white flour. Mia
  2. Sherry, you can send me a mail to this adress: leaina@web.de I don't mind to make this one public because it's the "send all spam to this adress" email I'll then write back from my regular mail. Mia
  3. Sherry, I tried to send you a pm but didn't succeed for some reason. There was no problem to send a message to Jan, but when I try you the system tells me that an error has shown up If I don't succeed later, maybe send me a message so that I can answer you.
  4. Sherry, I thought about this antibiotic, too, and my dr. even agreed to put me on the same antibiotic again when I suggested it last autumn. Unluckily it did not have the same effect. Ali and Jan, my naturopath friend suggested that I'd try a special liver cleansing because my liver is enlarged and I don't digest fat very well despite taking...
  5. Jan, like pele I don't have any more bigger problems with my digestion if I stick to my diet. The downs are concerning my energy and that starts getting really frustrating. More downs than ups still. I've never layed in bed because I always feared that it would become worse then and I would maybe not be able to get up again... But mostly I have to drag...
  6. Yes, I do. Currently I eat exactly the same every day - some plain rice and millet with steamed zucchini and mozzarella, steamed turkey with steamed chard, scd yoghurt with some blue- and cranberries and coconut oil, and two tablespoons flax seed oil per day. And every now and then if I feel I need some energy I take a tablespoon of coconut oil. I didn't...
  7. No - don't wish to be skinny. It's not really desireable to have no reserves at all... It's not even useful for diagnosis - no fat between the organs makes it nearly impossible to get clear images! The orthopedic surgeon told me that my coccyx is too much curved versus the inside. He also told me that he already has seen people with this problem who were...
  8. That sounds quite familiar to me. It started with the coccyx and then spread over the whole sacrum - at least I couldn't sit longer than ten minutes without shifting, and that was painful, too, because the sitting bones also ached. The doc told me that was because I'm so skinny and sit on the bones. But then why was it so bad on hard AND soft surfaces? And...
  9. Maybe I can solve the dextrose and sorbitol mystery: Dextrose is glucose, a monosaccharide. Even if it's made from wheat, it does not contain gluten - gluten is a protein, and glucose is the pure sugar. Sorbitol on the other hand is a sugar alcohol, the sugar alcohol of glucose. It is not metabolized through insuline like glucose but gets metabolized into...
  10. Thanks. Well, I couldn't drink apple juice either, nor sweetened things in general. Vegetables mostly were okay, but sugar always made me sick. I suppose my guten intolerance was a consequence of the fructose malabsorption. It started when I was 8 years old - nausea all the time. The nausea went away with avoiding gluten two years ago, and I was so happy...
  11. Yes, thanks, darkhorse, that helps a lot. I knew about the pesticides and of course the genetical modifications but actually not about the dangerous substances. I can't eat soy anyway, but I wondered - now I have something to tell a friend who uses to eat his breakfast musli with soymilk and wonders why the heck he starts to feel uncomfortable with soymilk...
  12. Hi Jan, that stuff is a kind of salt, sodium cyanide. It's said to be not toxic because the cyanide is tightly bound to the iron and the daily intake is very small because of the very small amounts which are used. But nonetheless it's a cyanide - talking about homeopathie and information, your body gets the information of cyanide...
  13. Another jump in topic concerning the scd: Having a close look at sugar and carb contents due to that fructose malabsorption, I found that tofu nearly contains no carbs and sugars at all. Nuts and almonds have much more sugar and starch than tofu. I can see the point with soy milk - all the carbs and saccharides from soy go into soy milk, but tofu is just...
  14. dtgirl: Since when do you have those problems? Did they occur all at once? I always wondered - I had gastro-problems all my life and never was able to develop many muscles no matter how much I worked out. But still I was a great sprinter, could jog one hour or climb mountains the whole day without getting tired. I slept six hours and was fit for the rest...
  15. Ali, thanks for the detailed information! I didn't consider that low D and zinc are linked to adrenal insufficiency. Well, yes, from that point of view you're certainly right (and so is pele) that even balanced levels of cortisol and aldosterone don't necessarily say that the adrenals aren't struggling. Sometimes I'm too much stuck in conservative medicine...
