    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...
  12. ndw3363
    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...
  13. ndw3363
    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...
  15. ndw3363
    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...

    I have been gluten-free for over 2 years - I rarely eat out and keep a completely gluten-free house. I haven't changed my diet or my personal products at all. But over the past two weeks, anything I eat goes straight through me. I'm getting concerned (as well as extremely annoyed) and it's completely taken the joy out of eating anything at all. I cut...

    Omg, I did the same exact thing early on (not for kids, but for at the time bf) - was cooking pastas separately - his pot, my pot...his spoon, my spoon. Checked to see if mine was done by munching on it. Then did the exact same thing with his...really?? I blamed the healing brain fog ;-)

    Plus, can you imagine men dealing with the side effects? I'm fat, I'm hormonal, my boobs hurt...lol. From the research I did, doesn't really matter how the hormone gets into your system (implant, ring, pill, IUD), if you are already prone to yeast infections, it will most likely make it worse. I had a few pills that weren't as bad as others, but I couldn...

    Only thing that stopped those for me was going off the birth control pill. ONLY benefit of being single for 2 years - scared to death of what will happen when I actually find a man worth going on the pill for ;-)

    This is my life - I cut out sugar...still sick. Cut out gluten, got better (rash gone). Brought sugar back..got sick rash came back. If I eat sugar or any carbs whatsoever, my scalp breaks out in flakes, my face gets red/oily and starts to burn, and eventually, the itchy rash on my elbows will come back. I am no longer getting the yeast infections (knock...

    I've seen a couple of posts in the past from newbies being concerned about dating and the gluten-free lifestyle. I've been doing a lot of dating lately (online dating is both a good AND bad thing), but what I've found is that talking about living a gluten-free lifestyle is a great way to gauge supportiveness. Example, some first dates I've had will suggest...

    I unfortunately can't even eat the plain big rice cakes - even the organic ones from Whole Foods. I love putting almond butter and strawberry preserves on them to make a crunchy pb & J, but every time, I'm severly lightheaded and nauseous after. To rule out other things, I ate them plain with nothing else in the morning once...same reaction. totally...

    I have to take a magnesium supplement - if I don't, I get HORRIBLE foot cramps - right in the arch. Were you eating differently on vacation? (i.e. maybe you typically eat magnesium rich foods at home, but didn't on vacation). I workout like crazy all the time, but if I take some time off (vacation, illness, etc), it takes about two weeks for everything...

    I use gluten-free cornflakes all the time (every gluten eater I've ever fed them to, raves about them) - I always felt it was missing something and was constantly playing with the spices. I then found a recipe in which you mix mayo and parm cheese in a bowl and coat the chicken (or pork chops, my favorite) with that first, then the crushed cornflakes. Bake...

    "Can't you just try a tiny bite? Trust me, it's so good that it'll be worth the bloat" - hahahaha - I get this from my friend ALL the time. If bloating was my only issue, I'd be in heaven. Nothing is SO good that it's worth the massive migraine, the heart racing anxiety, or the overwhelming anger at nothing. I'll stick to my "safe" meal thanks!
