  1. I had the same issue and found out,when I lost weight, cutting out Wheat and gluten made a big difference.I also went and got tested and I showed an allergy to wheat but not other gluten grains. Your issue might not be a gluten issue either. A lot of people assume that a wheat allergy is also a gluten allergy when in fact it isn't that way. The first week...
  2. That makes sense for sure! See the Marshmallow Root/ Astragulas was a huge help but I am almost positive that my Mom had a Celiac or just a wheat allergy issue (like I do) and even though her allergies were clear, she was still eating gluten, therefore her symptoms of MS were still a huge issue. Which eventually caused her intestines to continue to tear...
  3. Makes you wonder huh? Kind of like the vaccine for cervical cancer? Hmmm....Who knows? I know they are trying things for diabetes too though. Weird. Don't get it. Would it really work? I guess we'll see.
  4. I totally get what you are saying because I too believe that there is almost always an underlying cause to most everything. Now I can't say that there is a definite "fix" but my Mom had M.S. and had pages and pages of allergies. Now before I really understood what MS was and how to prevent or to "fix" it, I learned that one way to help your body to not "freak...
  5. Also, I just remembered, I do have a great friend that has 2 kids that show the ADD and her main cause IS wheat and gluten. Crazy how a main staple of our diets can cause such mayhem!
  6. I've heard that ADD and ADHD are both HUGE reactions to allergies. In fact, I watched a whole show about a Teen correctional facility full of hostile boys that were in there for a bunch of different crimes and other mental issues and when they changes their diets to whole foods with NO processed food AT ALL( and no herbacides or pesticides), their behavior...
  7. You poor girl!!! I am SO sorry you have had to go through that! It really sounds like a celiac issue for sure not to mention how many other allergies you have too. First off have you ever had a blood test taken for allergies? If not, that would be a great idea. It sounds like you already know some of your possible allergens so avoid them for sure. I know...
  8. Also make sure your B12 is a kind that dissolves in the mouth because the stomach acids will kill the B12 and you'll keep taking huge doses without it ever absorbing into your body. Just found that out from the Dr.
  9. Oh and this one too! So I guess it works great. You'd probably find many more on the amazon website on this bread machine too I won't post all the reviews...it'll get old Five out of 5 stars-great for gluten free breads, June 25, 2010 By GinaCalifornia (SUNNYVALE, CA United States) This review is from: Zojirushi BB-CEC20 Home Bakery Supreme ...
  10. Just saw this on an Amazon review. Thought it's help 5.0 out of 5 stars) This review is from: Zojirushi BB-CEC20 Home Bakery Supreme 2-Pound-Loaf Breadmaker, Black (Kitchen) Old Hitachi bread machine (vertical loaf) died. Wife was distraught. Searched the web and learned about the Zo machines. Wife found her gluten-free bread cookbook used the Zos...
  11. So in my small northern Idaho town, there is a GREAT pizza joint, Garlic Jim's,that offers gluten-free pizza! I don't know about cross contamination yet but it was SO great!! Plus it's only $3 more for a gluten-free crust. So excited. But I also found a pizza crust recipe that my family and I LOVE. Good times!
  12. Just like others said, definitely a food journal and/or elimination diet. Rice, veggies, fruits and meat and then slowly add things back in every 3 days to a week at a time. You'll eventually find out what bugging you. Also be aware too that beauty products, Shampoos and conditioners, toothpaste, things like that can also cause chaos if it contains any wheat...
  13. The Cake mix Doctor is great but.... Has anyone found a way to make a "yellow" dry mix in place of the cake mixes this book recommends? I used to bake and decorate really fancy cakes for all my family members Birthday parties and wanted to keep it up and I LOVE the recipes in the book but don't want to buy boxes and boxes of GR cake mixes, it's too expensive...
  14. I was talking to my sister today and her daughter who was diagnosed with wheat/gluten allergies,apparently had gotten the treatments done along with some others and she has had no more reactions to the wheat or gluten grains. So I'm not sure if it's a total loss since she was getting horrible diarrea and rashes all over her body and stomach aches and she...
  15. Oh man! Poor girl!! Has she been constipated at all or is it the opposite? I'm sure they checked her appendix. I hope they figure it out soon!
  16. That's is a tough question. It's hard to tell if he/she will have that allergy. My guess would be no gluten and just make sure that you are getting enough of the nutrients that gluten grains carry from a better source like Quinoa. If he/she is allergic, it would be better to start off his/her development with everything on the good side and when born you...
  17. So sorry My in laws look at us like we're weird because I tell them not to feed my kids or us certain foods and they live next door! When we say no thank you they ask while rolling their eyes "what, are you allergic to this too?" They just don't get it or understand. The thing is, if people actually got tested, they'd realize that they most likely have some...
  18. Just curious on how many people have tried this? I had some treatments done for Vitamin C and seasonal allergies and it has worked perfectly. Now I am just thinking it over as to whether to do it for my Wheat/Gluten allergy. The Dr. I saw for it says that severe allergies may need to be done up to 3 times to make sure that the treatment stays but I was just...
  19. Hehe, for sure. I have a friend in the CDA area. I also noticed you homeschool. Homeschool grad here! Living proof that we don't get too messed up in the head. ;)

  20. Yep! I'm in the Emmett area.

    how about yourself? :)

  21. Hey! Looks like you might be a fellow Idahoan? :)

  22. Sounds like a really tough time. Well First off, welcome! I'm a newbie also and am starting to cut out all Gluten products form my life. I'm not a Dr, but with those symptoms I'd be really on them about testing you correctly or research and do your own trials to cut possible allergens out of your diet. I have read that a lot of auto-immune diseases and disorders...
  23. I LOVE MagaFood Vitamins. You can find them online but they are whole food based and are Gluten, Soy, Corn, Dairy ,Wheat free!, pesticide and herbicide free, dye free too! They are a bit pricey but they have made me feel AWESOME!! They are the best ones I have EVER tried and believe me I have tried lots of them. They are a lot less expensive online. I use...
