  1. Good for you. Just take one day at a time. It's like anything new--it's an adjustment and it takes some will power--but it's achievable. In the long run, you are going to feel so much better! Your muscles, joints, lungs, skin--everything will clean out-- and you'll see a difference. You won't feel so jittery after a few days, too. So, just hang...
  2. When Colleen was very dehydrated and feeling nauseous etc., I told her what my hubs gave me when I was very ill and dehydrated from major D and vomiting (before DX). 16 oz. of pure water mixed with 1 TBLS. of sugar 1 tsp. of salt Balances your electrolytes. What did you think, I had brought her something back from Lourdes? or...
  3. Here is a thread of interest.
  4. Yes HBD, Peter! Last year, I told Peter that we celebrate his birthday with fireworks and wild celebrations down here in the US-- in his honor, every single year!!
  5. Well, Sky beat me to it....thanks, SKY!!! but, really honey, we need to get you over the "ICK" thing you have about SOOOOO many things. Sky? Colleen is afraid of bugs..... and apparently, thinks other things look like bugs too, including harmless fennel seeds. But we're being extra nice and understanding of her because she is quitting smoking...
  6. Thanks---and any day's a good day for Risotto, yes?
  7. Thank you, Em!! and yes, it is hot. Even the water in my pool is hot. and ...I tried to cut and paste that pic, but I am a Techno doofus (which is why I rely on Jess and Peter for those graphics). I went to the Dali museum when I was in FLA a few months ago...wow....and they claim he never did any drugs...okaaaaaaay.
  8. Now, I have an image of those animals and Bunz looking like those Dali melting watches...
  9. There are other articles about this condition as it relates to malabsorption diseases: Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link I reported my painful, burning, odd- looking tongue to dozens of doctors and not one of them thought it clinically significant. I was told it was "menopause...
  10. Happy 4th of July Everyone! Garlic crostini with goat cheese and balsamic/herb marinated roasted peppers and tapenade Grilled Burgers with sauteed onions and mushrooms on Cheesy rolls (still thanking MarilynR for those! ) Grilled Baby potatoes and asparagus Herbed Mozzarella and tomato salad Watermelon chunks with feta cheese and mint...
  11. As I mentioned to you on your other threads, healing takes time. Those foods you listed are major gut irritants. It does not mean they are additional food intolerances, okay? It's only been 3 weeks, hon. Everything will seem like a problem right now. Read any literature ( or ask anyone on here) and you'll see healing time varies from 6 months...
  12. I went to this blogger's site, but the links she provided went to "error" pages, so I can't see what you are trying to say. Sorry. Nothing there. If it is the vinegar, you are concerned about maybe this will help? Vinegar is gluten free. Open Original Shared Link
  13. Aside from the tips Skylark has given you, I am afraid there is not much more to be done except wait it out. I know it is not easy ( I suffer a week- long fun ride myself after a CC). I usually increase my water intake (and I already drink a lot anyway) and take digestive enzymes and extra probiotics for a week. No scientific evidence it helps, but I feel...
  14. Well, I am doing the happy dance for you. I will, in fact, stand up and applaud you right now...hold on....(sounds of IH clapping wildly) I know you were not super crazy about the ground flax seed idea, but we told ya it would do the trick! That stuff is full of fiber and omega 3's. It's a win-win. And for what it is worth, I knew where every...
  15. Great recipe MO!!!
  16. Colleen, You are so cute and you continue to amuse me. Fennel seeds freak you out? Look at it this way, they are a lot smaller than the horned tomato worms you love so much. Crack just one fennel seed open and see if you like the aroma. AWESOME flavor, but a little goes a long way. Glad to see you are experimenting in the kitchen! yaaay! IH
  17. here you go! and she just returned from the Cape and reported this:
  18. Sweetie, The "norm" is 6 months to a year for recovery. As for cooking, what did you eat BEFORE the DX? Meat, potatoes, veggies, rice, fruits, nuts, eggs, beans, stews, soups, right? You can still Eat THOSE. In place of bread or pasta, choose ONE Certified gluten-free product. Maybe Canyon Bakehouse or Rudy's bread and Tinkyada Pasta or BiAglut...
  19. I should add: if you are talking about grinding, I use a coffee grinder for that task.
  20. Our Kitchen Aid stand mixer has worked well for us for years. (Superfine flours and all) No flours flying anywhere. (unless hubs is in charge ) and the Cuisinart Food Processor handles the rest. (small breads, muffins, paleo breads, etc) Hope this helps.
  21. Hello Howard and welcome to the Forum! Your pic is cool. Cheers, IH
  22. I tried JNBUNNIE's suggestion: Applegate farms hot dogs in Chebe wraps. Baked beans. Cole slaw with pineapple chunks. DE-LISH!! Thanks, BUNZ--hubs loved them!
  23. yaaay! thanks, Sky!! whoo hoo!
