    She has had behavioral problems for years - at one point he said they had her on Abilify, but decided that was a bit strong for a 9 yr old. They are coming at this from a good place - don't continue to mask the problem...get to the root of it. She has been very tired and almost depressed for awhile, which is why they had the tests done. They went through...

    One of the guys I work with just had his 10yr old daughter tested and it turns out she is intolerant to just about everything. Now I don't always think that the bloodtests for sensitivities are 100% accurate, but he was told they need to cut out gluten, eggs, dairy, peanuts (and other tree nuts), and most likely soy. This leaves them with very little IMO...

    Probiotics are always a good idea IMHO - I have been without mine for a week (I take PB8) and have really noticed a difference. Ok, so on the candida diet issue. I realize there are many opinions and everyone's body reacts differently. So this is what works/doesn't work for me. I seem to react to any carbs/sugar...no matter if it's gluten-free or not...

    I use an Apple Cider Vinegar/water mixture as a toner for my rosacea and seb derm. My face isn't nearly as red as it was before. My seb derm has gotten out of control lately and I'm pretty sure it's candida related (once again). God forbid I have a glass of wine or a CARB once in awhile. I notice it the most on my poor scalp, but also have dry itchy patches...

    My biggest frustration is how most things change/go bad so quickly. I have made some awesome cupcakes, muffins, etc that taste beyond fantastic out of the oven. But by day two, they are overly moist, falling apart or moldy within a few days. This has happened so many times, that I just haven't bothered for many months. And as Wintersong mentioned, all...

    Thank you both! I did the crock pot thing last year, but did not toast first - that must be the magic trick! I'll try it this weekend perhaps and see if it works! Def like the crock pot option since the oven is already spoken for all day on Thanksgiving

    I know it's a little early, but this year I need to do a test run before the big day. Last year was my first attempt at gluten-free stuffing - I used Udi's I think. The flavor was good, but the consistency was mush. I didn't pre-toast the cubes because we never did this with regular bread before. But I'm thinking that I may have to do that step this year...

    My extreme weight loss (along with other symptoms) is what lead me to my self diagnosis two years ago. I've always been tall and thin, but at 5'10", I got down to almost a size 0 and I looked horrible. Didn't matter how much I ate, I simply could not gain an ounce. As soon as I took gluten out of my diet, I started absorbing nutrients again - gotta tell...

    I'll try upping my fat intake as well. If was feeling SO sluggish at the gym for awhile...upped my carb intake and my energy was great...however, my body hates carbs in all other ways (my skin breaks out in seborrhea, I bloat like crazy, get headaches, standard candida reaction stuff). Doing a massive grocery shopping trip followed by cooking this weekend...

    One of the keys to building mass is nutrition - you need to consume enough calories in the correct form. Lots of protein and veggies with just enough carbs thrown in for energy. I've been lifting for about a year and my progress stalled...did some research and realized I wasn't consuming nearly enough calories. The more muscle to gain, the more calories...

    I've only tried Bard's and Redbridge. Bard's I didn't care for the taste...Redbridge is a weird story. I started to notice that every time I had it, the next day I was an emotional wreck. Every time!! Didn't matter if I had one or four...didn't matter what else I ate that day (always gluten-free of course), the next day I was a mess of tears for no reason...

    Same thing happened to me awhile back - after supplementing digestive enzymes and HCl with every protein filled meal (I'm mostly Paleo, so protein is with almost every meal), my symptoms subsided. Only time I really have trouble now is when I go a little overboard with carbs or with dairy....or if I'm in PMS week - can't figure out how to get rid of the...

    Personally, I kinda like Redbridge - didn't at first, but it's an acquired taste. What I can't figure out though, is why I have a horrible reaction to it. Every single time I've had it, the next day I'm an emotional wreck. Even if I'm having a great day, nothin but sunny skies, I cry uncontrollably for most of the day. SO strange!! Haven't had one since...

    No, so far same ol same ol. Actually not looking forward to eating lunch at all today - why bother right? Going to attempt to go very bland this weekend and see what happens. If this keeps up much longer, I will have to make a dr. appt - which I absolutely HATE to do, because all I'm going to hear is, oh I don't know - you want an antibiotic? Anti-depressant...

    Yes, taking the same probiotic daily (PB8, gluten-free, dairy free, soy free). I was using a Whey protein powder (gluten-free of course) for awhile and I thought that was the culprit. But haven't had it for two days now, and still have to run to the bathroom approx 1 hour after eating anything. Aside from that symptom and being more tired than usual, I...
