    I'm going to agree with bentramer1981. You need to use food to increase your weight. If you can't jog down the street, there is no point in trying to do any type of workout or to spend money on "supplements". The only type of supplement that would do you any good right now would be a non-synthetic multivitamin and possibly a protein powder. Protein powders...

    I can't vouch for the lip balm but I absolutely love their Organic Unscented Pit Putty and their Organic Unscented Shower Gel. Be warned though that those of you with hard water will have some "issues" with their soaps and shampoos but, it's nothing that a little baking soda or a mineral filter on your shower-head won't correct. There will also likely be...

    I don't get "sick" per say but, complex carbs leave me pretty bloated and corn products feel like razor blades. If I bloat enough (it doesn't take much to do that), I can get to feeling pretty miserable so I just stay away from them for the time being. For clarification when I say complex carbs I mean stuff like organic long grain brown Basmati rice, and...

    I think I would be ready to take a long walk off a short pier after 24 hours lol. I'm just joking of course. That really sounds interesting though and hopefully, they can get that sorted out. It would obviously still be damaging but, it would be a lot less damaging that the current longterm test demands. If something like that was offered, I might be...

    So, I got my results back earlier today: Gluten Sensitivity Stool Test Fecal Anti-gliadin IgA 11 Units (Normal Range is less than 10 Units) I went gluten-free (gluten free) sometime in October of 2011 shortly after my father was diagnosed with Celiac so, not much is going to change for me. Like everyone else though it's nice "to know". I'm...

    If the company distinguishes which of their products are gluten free and which of their products aren't, I don't know if I would eat chips from them that were undeclared gluten free. I mean they are fried and since they aren't labeled as gluten free, they may be fried in the same oil as a product that contains gluten. A google search shows that they did...

    That seems like a plausible scenario. It's been a while since I have had to work on a FWD (front wheel drive) vehicle but the front sway bar "should" be easy to get to. It's not like trying to change a belt, water pump, CV joint, etc. on a FWD vehicle. You could check a local "junk yard" and see if they have one and what the cost would be. You will most...

    I just wanted to quickly comment on this as no one else did and everyone covered all the gluten related aspects of your post. Several people do in fact remove their front stabilizer/sway bars if they have a rear wheel drive car if they are drag racing. It helps transfer the weight to the rear of the vehicle by helping the front suspension unload and "lift...

    Oh wow lol. Yea, in that situation I would get the highest quality I could find and the largest selection. I never really got eggs down outside of scrambling or frying them. I could almost get an "omlette" started but then it would just go the scrambled egg route. I rotated them out of my diet before I got to mess around with them to much. It wasn...

    Several spices can be considered "harsh" because of the fact that they are deemed "cleansing". In theory, they will help "push" food and toxins out. Nuts are very hard to digest just like seeds are. I was going to mention that they are also very high in fat but you aren't having an issue with olive oil. However, you probably use a lot less olive oil...

    I also don't do non-stick stuff. It's just not needed and it doesn't last even if you are cautious. I mean chefs don't use it and people cooked without fine before it came along. It can be really convenient though. Stuff tends to stick to stainless steel if you aren't used to using it. There is a learning curve when it comes to the heat setting on your...

    Yes, there should be some sort of selection for it at any given liquor store even if they only carry a single brand of it.

    The product I buy is from Bumble & Bee. I use their Open Original Shared Link which is $21.99 plus shipping. Prior to that I was using a product from Organic Excellence called Open Original Shared Link which is $15.95 plus shipping. I switched to Bubble & Bee because it has a shorter ingredient list and is certified organic. For me, that was worth...

    1) I eat organic but, that was a personal decision I made long before going gluten free. 2) I use the same product for soap & shampoo but, it's expensive as it's a short list of ingredients and organic. It will also create "soap scum" though if you have even semi-hard water since there are no detergents or other chemicals in it. The same goes for...

    ARCHIVED Amino Acids - Safe?

    Racer-J replied to rain's topic in Sports and Fitness

    I like Bluebonnet as a brand because, they take food allergies very seriously. I have only used their 100% Natural Whey Protein Isolate Powder though. I dropped it when I dropped all dairy and casein. A lot of their pills contain stuff like silica, and other things I stay away from. The BCAAs look like a fairly clean product though excluding the magnesium...

    The older you get, the harder it is to lose. That's because as we age our metabolisms start to slow down and continue to do so. That's why calorie requirements decline as we get older. At the same time though, certain vitamin/mineral requirements go up because, we become even more inefficient at absorbing them. Your weight gain and loss sounds normal...

    ARCHIVED Amino Acids - Safe?

    Racer-J replied to rain's topic in Sports and Fitness

    I think anyone involved with fitness, athletics, weightlifting, etc. has either tried or continues to take individual amino acids, BCAAs, etc. at one point or another. I used to take both BCAAs and a liquid amino acid supplement several years ago. I personally feel they helped with recovery but that was back before I knew what gluten even was not to mention...

    Warning, this is a super long post full of information . . . If this was directed at me, I try to never take vitamins/minerals. That's just a personal choice though since most of them are synthetic and full of binders, fillers, sweeteners, and several other things that don't need to be in the supplement. Several synthetic vitamins/minerals have...

    lol Yes unfortunately, diet took on a whole new meaning when the wight loss craze hit mainstream in the 80s. It's only gotten worse since then as the word has technically been misused for at least 20 years+ now. Societies do that with various words all the time though and that's how we end up with multiple definitions, render definitions meaningless...

    The amount of calories someone needs to eat in a day is based on their height, weight, activity level, and if they are trying to lose/maintain/gain weight. The exact answer for everyone is going to be different day in and day out. You can use the following site as a guide though but ignore the BMI (Body Mass Index) calculator. It is archaic and I do not...

    I eat several times a day, usually 2-3 hours apart starting about 1-2 hours after I get up depending on how hungry I am, and stopping 2-3 hours before I go to bed. That usually results in 6-7 "meals" per day everyday. I eat smaller proportions than most people would consider a meal though. For example, two 7.5 ounce cans of salmon will make 7 meals for...

    Sadly, that is something you will commonly see if do a web search on the issue of body odor that is unrelated to hygiene especially for people with TMAU. The people with TMAU sort of have it worse though because they know what the problem is and there is simply no way to currently fix it except hoping a diet low in choline will help. You however may be...

    The list is going to be very short. With GMO though, technically anything certified organic is supposed to be GMO free according to federal law. However, the government refuses to enforce the law and mandate testing when it comes to GMO in certified organic products. Also keep in mind that a product only has to be either 70% or 80% (I can never remember...

    It's odd that you don't smell it yourself as people tend to notice their own odor before anyone else. Stress can absolutely trigger the creation of odor and, it could be that only certain people are able to detect the scent that is given off. Again, this is an incredibly difficult issue to figure out. That sounds like TMAU (Trimethylaminuria...

    They do. My father has had their roast beef. Apparently they put it in a container and you get more meat than you would on the actual sandwich. It's fast food though so that may not be the case at every location nor their attention to detail. This was apparently a very cautious and caring location. For example, I know people here have said that they...
