    Heal or recover? If you don't have celiac disease but non-celiac gluten sensitivity there probably isn't any 'healing' in the sense most people here normally use - in the strictest interpretation of the medical research. But your time to recover from the symptoms/effect may vary wildly from days to a couple weeks. Unless you have celiac disease you...

    Just cow? If not, what about goat yogurt? My wife loves it.

    ARCHIVED Joint Pain

    Korwyn replied to Mandy M's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    Hi Mandy, I have a variety of neuro, CNS, and some psych symptoms that I dealt/deal with in addition to the GI issues. There are several things I've found: I had to cut soy completely, and casein almost totally. I can handle really aged 'pasteurized' cow cheese ok (seems bland though), raw cows milk and milk products ok, goat and sheep cheese fine. But...

    If you're referring to the outbreak in Western WA about 15 years ago, a friend of mine's young son died in that outbreak. It was caused by undercooked ground beef. There was some research I read just recently on E. Coli. in cattle and that grass fed cattle had much lower levels (almost non-existent in some cases) and different, less virulent strains than...

    I'm happily married so I don't have to deal with the dating aspect of this, but I thought Open Original Shared Link. It is especially relevant to me because in the last few months I've had to start having my wife warn me if she is wearing certain lipstick (or any) for that matter. :/ I did like this quote from the article though:

    ARCHIVED Panic Attacks

    Korwyn replied to jemms's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I have gotten so that I can't don't anything from Trader Joes but cheese. I've had a horrible time with CC for me, plus they share their lines with soy products too which I also fear CC from.

    Hi Tina, I want to second what DA said. Three days is not enough. I know with my neuro and psych issues it took a solid month (on GAPS) before I had my first week without tics in my eyes and especially my arms. Which is kinda embarrassing when I'd be sitting in a meeting at a table and people next to me keep looking out of the corner of their eyes because...

    My top two: 1. Don't panic. It will be alright. As overwhelming as it seems there are thousands upon thousands of people who are willing to support you and help you through all of this. 2. There will be ups and downs. Sometimes big ones. It's OK. Just because it seems like you are suddenly going backwards doesn't mean to give up. Just remember that...

    I haven't seen an identical thread, so I thought this might be an interesting thing to try. Here's the setup! Each poster posts their top two pieces of advice! Simple enough. With all that you now know and have learned and experienced since you went gluten free, what are the TWO things you wish you had known at the outset? Don't worry if you...

    Not to mention that the beef works out to about $2.50/lb. Which means that I'm eating prime cut grass-fed New York and T-Bone for $2.50 per pound instead of $5-$8/lb.
  12. Korwyn
    That's why I buy our most of our meat from a local butcher and we buy a half a grassfed beef from a farmer about 30 miles from us.

    Well if you are becoming vegetarian for ethical reasons, you probably need to talk to some of vegetarians on the board for advice not me. If you are doing it for health reasons, unless you have animal protein allergies I'd suggest you don't make that change at this time. I'm about as far from vegetarian as you can get, having done more than one multiple...

    My first suspect would be the navy beans, but given that you can react to foods up to several days later, I would strongly suggest you start a full elimination diet and eliminate ALL processed foods including the Lara and Kind bars and nut milks. Revert back to all whole/raw foods, and start with small list of foods (5-6). Stay on any given regimen for a...

    I have a variety of neuro, psych, and CNS issues (including tics and muscle fasciculations) which are triggered by soy. I can't drink many of the nut milks because they have soy lecithin in them. This problem was masked by other issues so I didn't see it until after I went gluten-free, but it developed concurrently with my celiac disease. Gluten triggers...

    While this is correct, this is a logically fallacious argument in that there is no definition for 'false beliefs' or 'unrealistically high expectations'. By asking "'We can all agree on that right?'", without providing context you set up an emotional vs. rational cognitive conflict for the readers. Emotionally everyone wants to say, 'Yes, I agree with that...

    Hi raesue, I just wanted to address the 'placebo' effect. For some people, removing the gluten from the diet can indeed produce a dramatic, almost immediate response. It did with me. Within two days I felt like I was high. I felt physically better than I had in years. And I don't think it was a placebo effect for a couple reasons: 1) Immediate (2nd day...

    Wow. Do you have any research or studies to back this up? I'd be really interested in seeing this. As to why there are more women active on the boards, I think that there are a couple factors in play: 1) Men are in general less likely to reach out for a support group and just try to 'tough it out'. Studies are starting to show some evidence that the neurological...

    Glad you are feeling better! It might be that after a month you feel so much better you couldn't care less about a whole grain sandwich! Seriously though, I would suggest that if you are going to do eat a sandwich, you plan to eat a couple of them the day before you have a couple days off from work (aka a weekend). If you truly are gluten intolerant or undiagnosed...

    My wife can't have chicken eggs, so we've used duck eggs, honey, and a touch of vanilla. I never thought of trying molasses. I love molasses! I'll have to try a mix of honey, brown sugar, and molasses! Maybe 1/2 br. sugar, 1/4 molasses, and two tbsp honey....*drool*

    (emphasis mine) Excuse me? Whose kitchen is it anyway? You are the one who has Celiac disease! You are the one whose health is at risk! You are the ONLY one who has anything at risk here. Frankly if it was me, the entire house would be gluten free and if that was not workable then there would not be any moving. You are changing your life to allow them in...

    Hmmm....what do I do...I've done a lot. And are you defined as who you are by what you do? So many questions....so little time.... My primary occupation is an Information System Specialist with a focus in Information Security/Information Assurance and Network Administration. I play on one of our worship bands at church, and have a number of hobbies...

    Yeah. I contacted Tazo about 12 months ago about one of their teas - 'Awake'. A unique set of reactions for me that I don't get from anything but soy. They didn't reply to my email or contact via their website, and when I called they were quite snotty and refused to tell me anything about it. I've thought about filing a complaint with the FDA regarding possibly...
