I no longer subscribe to the whole "dairy isn't good for us" theory. Two years as a vegan (and 15 as a vegetarian) nearly destroyed my mental and physical health. I now believed pasteurized dairy isn't good for us, but raw milk is perfectly healthy- as long as you don't have food issues like I do! I think I'll cut out the unfermented milk products, and see...

Okay. That makes me feel a bit better. I can go without milk, but it would be hard to give up ALL dairy products. I used to make almond milk and I love coconut milk so those are two good alternatives for me. I see what happens in a few days. Would you suggest, if I notice an improvement in a a few days, waiting a couple weeks then before doing a challenge...

I did have a celiac panel done and it came back negative. I've been resistant to going dairy free because...well, because I love butter. I know I should. Would I have to cut out ALL dairy? Could I do yogurt and ghee? I wonder if it would help to just give up milk and see what happens. I have some friends that can eat cheese and other cultured dairy products...

I've been gluten free for about two months and was wondering if now would be a good time to do a challenge and how to go about doing one. I've been VERY careful with my diet. Making nearly everything from scratch except those items I know are gluten free. I've only eaten out at Chipotle and made them change gloves and be VERY careful. I've brought all my...

Okay, thanks. I'll check out some of those brands. I do try to stay away from sulfates and parabens. I wonder if I've been having skin problem lately because of the ingredients in my hair products and makeup. My scalp has been painfully sore with little bumps all over and I've been breaking out in weird pimply rashes on my face. I'll get rid of all my stuff...

I may have spoke too soon. I just heard that vitamin E may be wheat derived. Is that true?

I have OCD and have suffered from panic and anxiety attacks. That's what it sounds like to me. I agree with the previous poster. Sensitize yourself to going to the grocery store and buying a couple things. Keep doing that until you are able to do a whole trip and than bring a grandchild along. I've learned with my anxiety that you have to keep exposing...

I've been gluten free for about a month or so now. I'm not a diagnosed celiac- just trying to figure out if I have a problem with it. I used some hairspray this morning that I haven't used in a few months and within twenty minutes my neck, collarbone and back of my neck all the way to the neckline of my shirt broke out with an angry red rash. There were...

I don't think it's shingles. My sister had them and this is nothing like that. It's more itchy than painful. Only my scalp hurts but there is no outbreak there so I'm not sure what this is. I hope it's just some weird passing fluke.

It is quite itchy. The ones on my face look like acne but there are a few (on my chest and back of my neck) that don't. I have added tapioca starch to my diet but I've had it before and didn't react like this. I've not really increased anything else in my diet. I've only taken away. Unfortunately, I don't have insurance so I can't see a dermatologist. I...

I've gotten them regularly since I was five. All over my tongue, my cheeks, inside my lips and sometimes down my throat. Very painful. I would miss school because of it. I found that eliminating caffeine and artificial sweeteners reduced my outbreaks but I still get them fairly often- about once or twice a month. Right now my cheeks are a mess and I have...

I have NEVER had problems with acne. Never. Not when a teenager, not when pregnant, nor during that time of the month. I went gluten free about three weeks ago and all of a sudden, seemingly within the last few hours, I have developed the worst case of acne I've ever had. I woke up with one zit this morning and now my face, chest and neck are covered. It...

I'm going to try your bread recipe out. I really like that it uses no starches and is high in fiber. If that doesn't work I'm considering going grain free altogether and seeing if that helps.

Hmmm...I only drink water and raw milk- sometimes herbal tea. I'm not dehydrated. No caffeine. I've been making all my own gluten free breads from scratch- so no processed foods. Lots of veggies and fruits (I used to be vegan and I eat a huge salad at least once a day.) I already take magnesium for a heart murmur and it's never once helped the constipation...
