    I was JUST thinking about doing that. The other day I had roasted some garlic and i LOOOVE garlic, so i literally just ate clove after clove and had the worst gas that night. I was thinking about what you had said, about the negetive reaction maybe being from the bad bacteria or a parasites (it was either the garlic or a portabella mushroom i had). I have...

    OK! I am straining the raspberries as we speak and will make the frosting to go on the 14 date cake (which looks really good), for my birthday tomorrow :-) I have been feeling....alright latley. I am coming up on 6 weeks on the diet now and am not really sure how im feeling. I wouldnt say the diet is helping with my C and I have had to increase my laxatives...

    Will electing cobra insure me in France? That was my big question. Does that depend on my health plan I had with my last job? Thanks for the help.

    Hi everyone, I was diagnosed 5 months ago and am leaving the US for France to go back to school. I will no longer have my health insurance through work and need to get private insurance for the next year. I just applied and was declined and was wondering if any of you have been sucessful at getting private insurance. I leave THIS sunday, I had previously...

    Step #1: Get a new doctor and keep getting new Dr's until someone figures it out and takes you seriously. I am still not better-- diagnosed Celiac in October 08, and I think theres something else going on too and I am going to everyone. It is sooooo hard. I dont know why or how i am supose to live sick possibly forever. The only thing I can do i keep going...

    I LOVE the pumpkin mock danish too-- I make it with banana's or apples with cinnamin (I'm trying peaches today) too because the pumpkin can be hard to get fresh. This is my new favorite thing! I had a quick question: I was reading the Raman's cook book that raspberries are not to be eaten until 3 months into the diet/ symptoms subside. Now I was wondering...

    Thanks for the replies guys. I was vegan when this all started so I know it cant be dairy, and am currently on the SCD which limits a lot of fiber, and starch. I am prayyyying something comes up in my test results tomorrow. Yes-- my Dr is great, if anyone is in the San Francisco area please let me know and I will recommend you.

    Hi! We sound very similar, I am 24, suffer from severe C too--no matter what I do. I have Celiac and am gluten-free for almost 5 months now, SCD 1 month (not sure if its helping though). I think i also have thyroid problems (get blood tests back in 2 days), praying I do and that that's the source of the C. Did you figure out all of your intollerences through...

    I dont always have obvious glutening symptoms-- and if you arent 100% gluten free and havent been for a while, you really wouldnt necessarily notice it. Also, when i do get glutened I wont feel it for like 48-72 hours, which makes it even harder to figure out what got me. But it isnt unusual to have scattered symptoms.

    Hey guys, I'm celiac 4 months, and not convinced thats my only problem. I have seem some improvments but not any drastic improvements since going gluten free. My major symtom is constipation, some weight loss, fatigue and a bunch of others. The Dr is running a bunch of tests on me and asked me to take my temperature twice daily and record. Well the...

    Question: I am thinking about food for my flight to France in a few weeks. I know you arent allowed to take liquids on the plane. BUT do you think-- if i freeze some yogurt, I would be able to sneak it by security, because on the x-ray screen it will look like a solid? Then eat it when it defrosts? Is this ridiculous. I know there is other food to bring...

    Hi Everyone, I was wondering if anyone had St Patrick's Day menu ideas? I was going to make the avocado buns (1 egg+ 1 avocad0, then bake like pancake--soo good!) with some home made corned beef. I also was wondering if anyone has a favorite cake. It will be my birthdayin a few weeks (first one with Celiac) and I need a rich yummy cake I can make....

    It sounds like a good assesment-- and i too would prefer to get enzymes from food instead of pills, but i know I cannot digest raw vegtables...its kind of a catch 22. I'm not healthy enough to eat the raw food, where the enzymes come from--partly because i dont have enough enzymes lol. If you can digest the raw food, go for it! Otherwise you might add a...

    Hi Everyone, Thanks for all the responses and interest in my move to France. I will be moving to Paris to get my MBA-- very exciting. I dont drink very much fruit juice at all, really only with my morning prune juice or in my Gelatin, but that was the only thing i was concerned about finding. Thanks for the help Ms Jan and Ali My Dr visit went well...

    I havent been eating any cellary-- I'm alittle scared to introduce something so fiberous. Im trying to stay with things that I can basically turn to mush in my mouth before i swallow...should I try some cellary? I have been taking magnesium but have had mixed results. I used to take it abotu a year ago and it helped a great deal for abotu 3 months.....

    Hi thanks for the tips everyone. I am currently following the SCDiet which doesnt seem to be helping, and maybe making it worse, but i'm sticking it out for awhile. I will check to see which of your supplements are compliant with the diet-- thanks Bea! I have tried elliminating many things-- i was vegan for a year (so i know its not dairy or eggs), i took...

    Thanks for the encouragment-- its so hard when you are young have always been so healthy to all of a sudden plummet into 2 years of feeling awful and no one having answers. I just cant imagine another year of living like this and wish there was something I could do. I was just thinking how much more awful this would all be if there were no internet!!! I am...

    Hey everyone, I just wanted to give an update. I am two and a half weeks into my SCD. I am not sure I am getting any better-- i guess the most i can say is that things are different. My constipation has not gone away and i have had to increase my laxatives-- but i am having random D (not sure if its from any of my medications or what it means). But then...

    Thanks for the reply. The test i had done did basically the same thing for your intestines--which is where my transit time was delayed. I guess i just want to find out why it was delayed so i can fix it. Or if this indicates any other problems.

    Hey Guys, I was tested for Chrons the other day-- it came back negetive (which i guess is good). But it took me 4 hours for the liquid to get all the way through my intestines-- whcih is about 3-4 times longer than is typical. My biggest problem is chronic constipation--- so i guess it makes more sense now that my body cant get the food through and that...

    Hi Guys, I heard the same thing abotu the Welches grape juice on the Yahoo group-- The reply was as follows: "Nearly ALL commercial citric acid is fermented from corn. The representative simply told you that it is fermented from corn sugar, which is true. ALL citric acid is made from cheap sugar -- and it's all still legal. Ascorbic acid is made...

    Hey Guys, How do you know if you have candida? I've heard about the water test-- where you spit in the water and certain reactions will indicate you have yeast over growth...I did it this morning and it came back positive...but i feel this this test clearly doesnt seem very scientific. How do I know?
  23. wschmucks
    Hey is Welches grape juice off the safe list?? I heard on a Yahoo SCD group today that there were processing changes and its no longer on the safe list...is that true!?? I've made all my gelatin with it! Does anyone know?

    I just went through the entire product list for Lara Bars and i had no idea they ALL had dates. That is too bad that you cant tollerate them. Maybe you can try to find a recipe for something similar that you can make in bulk. Thanks for the Enzyme info Ali, I will read that link right now. Has anyone read Dr Haas's "The Managment of Celiac Disease...

    Hi Ali, I was taking Super Digest Away-- which is an enzyme. It isnt SCD compliant so i havent been taking it the past week. I am going to start the meds back up again as normal, and wait for me to start to feel a bit "normal" again, start the nut muffins and then try to ween off the medication. I really wanted to try it without anything that was breaking...
