ARCHIVED The Body Ecology Diet - Anyone Tried It?
GottaSki replied to Lisa79's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Sounds very similar to GAPS -- which I failed miserably -- my digestive system can't tolerate fermented foods...included homemade. This sort of diet has helped many with digestive issues -- great if your system can tolerate. PS...I did start making Bone Broth during GAPS -- which we have kept in the house regularly since for all broth purposes. -
ARCHIVED Gluten Free Epsom Salts?
GottaSki replied to AngieJoy's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Interesting....thanks for the update Meanwhile....I continue to soak each morning -- to get muscles/joints moving -- not sure how much this helps as magnsium supplementation. Do know that my skin has been glowing of late -- which is nice. -

The large one is a pressure gauge -- the small 'regular' pressure cooker just the weight. -
ARCHIVED Any 'canners' Out There?
GottaSki replied to notme's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I've use a regular family pressure cooker for some things recently -- it holds about 6-8 jars -- for tuna we found a huge pressure cooker on craigslist so we can stack the jars and get many done at once -- been awhile since hubs brought back enough for canning -- I think we did 20- 24 jars at a time with it. I am no expert -- gotta get one of the Ball... -

ARCHIVED Gluten Free Epsom Salts?
GottaSki replied to AngieJoy's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I agree that it is good to keep all the epsom talk in one place. My first thought is that you should take another bath tomorrow at approximately the same time and temperature without epsom salt to see if just sitting in a warm tub caused this reaction. -

GottaSki replied to notme's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I just bought an inexpensive plastic one on amazon a few months back...then got more trays to do more with the same energy....I make jerky on bottom trays while drying herbs on top trays -- works great. Thanks for the Ball Blue Book note...going to find one -- we use pressure to can tuna...so i just need to know the basic rules for everything else --... -
ARCHIVED Help With Results...ttg & Thyroid
GottaSki replied to designerstubble's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Unfortunately it took me getting pretty damn sick before my hubs really got it -- and part of him did think I was faking flares for years -- he went through a pretty tough time when I was finally diagnosed and we learned more about what had been happening to me over the years -- I don't blame him -- there were times even I thought it must be all in my head... -
ARCHIVED Heat And Humiditiy And Better Tolerance
GottaSki replied to powerofpositivethinking's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Yes....it is possible that your body is functioning stronger and therefore better able to regulate heat/humidity. Sounds like another thing to add to your improved symptom list to me -

ARCHIVED Is Wine gluten-free?
GottaSki replied to KikiUSA's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I have a very limited whole food diet and safely consume Red Wine often. My intestines are finally healing according to my repeat biopsies -- there is no gluten in the wine I am drinking -- If I were offered a fine very old vintage -- I might question what it was contained in originally, but newer/mass produced wines are not held in containers with or strained... -
ARCHIVED Any 'canners' Out There?
GottaSki replied to notme's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
What does the 'p' stand for -- I have just this past year started canning things other than tuna -- hence I like the idea of this thread. i also dehydrate quite a bit now -- dried fruits and jerky are much easier to carry if I'll be out longer than a few hours. -

GottaSki replied to notme's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
So sorry to hear you had a rough time this past year...but glad to hear things are improving. At any rate...good to see you back -
It is my experience that the damage caused by Celiac Disease can indeed cause autoimmune flares....Celiac itself doesn't 'flare' unless gluten is ingested. Stress can exacerbate this - as can hormone imbalance. My suggestion is go to your doctor -- ask for complete hormone panel to include TSH, Free T3, Free T4, eseridol, testosterone, progesterone and...
