  1. ice cream is not good for anyone's digestive tract. It is cold, and is made with sugar and milk. I would not consider it food at all, especially for a celiac. I have no idea why there is a line through everything I type
  2. yes dates give me a migraine, and I spend the next day trying to squeeze battery acid out of my ass
  3. Just wondering what the experts say. I am currently away from my personal kitchen, two weeks now, my guts have been upset, and lots of headache. I have been pretty careful and it just now occurred to me that I have been smoking an occasional djarum clove cigar (my friend that I am staying with smokes them) they taste like candy. Not looking for a smoking...
  4. googling around, I find (claims) that some figs are dusted with (oat, or wheat) flour to keep them from sticking together, perhaps labeling laws in greece are not so strict. It seems like i can can eat anything i want as long as its not something i want
  5. Ok guess im not alone, I ate some organic figs yesterday and felt like I had been stabbed in the gut and punched in the heart. The package lists one ingredient only...figs. It was one of those discs of figs from greece with the nice old lady on it. I thought maybe it was the high sugar or the seeds causing havoc. It was the most painfull reaction to food...
  6. maybe the chocolate is contaminated. You are talking about eating small buckets of refined sugar too, and depending on how fried you are this may be taxing an already taxed adrenal system? Ice cream does sound good though, i'm goin to get some
  7. What is cc in a diet?
  8. My two questions are: Could untreated celiacs lead to a ruptured appendix? and: Are there any other measures (in addition to abstaining from wheat) I can take to speed my recovery? I am currently five days off gluten, though I did have some corn products that seem to have fouled things up a little. I am taking: L-glutamine......
  9. I have known for two years or so that wheat is messing me up, but I would start eating it again after I started feeling better and kind of forgot about it. Plus I like to believe that the body can somehow heal itself of anything. Or that maybe God is looking out for me. Three weeks ago my appendix ruptured, but I was so used to having pain in my abdomen,...
  10. I will look, thx
  11. I have the Hunger

  12. thanks for the suggestions! I wish it was as easy as that, I would happily accept
  13. Than you for all the explanations, I feel like my body is responding pretty quickly to the absence of gluten and processed foods so I don't think I will need to go to the extreme of the stage one gaps diet (although I might try it the next time I am breaking a fast). It has only been a week and I am feelng improvements in many areas. In the next few weeks...
  14. I will! I think the products you listed are somewhat fermented? Perhaps that makes a difference.
  15. The worm I passed looked like a worm, about 7 inches long, I could not find segments, but it did have a head at one end. I am thinking it was a fish tapeworm, as they are less segmented, and I do eat sushi, or at least I used to. Last new years, at the end of a three day water fast I passed a worm about ten inches long with no head, perhaps it was the tail...
  16. I am wondering if faintness upon standing is common amongst celiacs, and people that are in a state of starvation. I have always had to be carefull standing up, because I might black out and fall down. This has not improved yet. I see the strangest things whenever I stand up quickly, like I am looking through a wormhole? Sometimes patterns emerge. Sometimes...
  17. The soy milk I drank is sweetened with cane sugar, which has always been a no no for me (and probably why I drank so much of it) I tend to binge on sugars. It did not mess up my improved digestion though, just the temporary discomfort. This is not really a product I will miss, i just happened to see it in my freind's fridge and I just dove in without looking...
  18. Yes, meats have been one of the few digestible foods for me too. I am eating meat, eggs and rice too, things are still going very well. I haven't had any headache pain, and this is very unusual. And my guts are already working so much better! I am still weary of getting too excited as I have had short lived spells of feeling ok in the past. I can tell that...
  19. Hey, thanks, I skimmed through the gaps diet. This approach seems very sensible to me. It would be difficult for me to follow a plan like this perfectly due to my current lifestyle,(I live in a camper in the desert) but I will try some of these ideas as best I can.
  20. You must be an old schooly carnivore! I have always used olive oil to cook with, because, everybody told me to. Have I fallen for someones evil plan? I don't think I have ever seen lard or tallow in a grocery store, but I never really looked. I have seen lard at mexican markets, but I don't know if they are too big on the organic part. I will look around...
  21. I like the concept of eating ice cream to become healthy, unfortunately I know from past experience that any refined sugars are my enemy(even worse than the tequila diet I tried a while back), and most people are saying that dairy is difficult to digest until my intestines grow back again. Animal products have always been the easiest for me to assimilate...
  22. I had a glass of soyy milk this morning, and felt like I ate too much, but now it is two hours later and I still feel like my breath is restricted. This is a familiar sensation that I have had throughout my life after eating sometimes. I dont know if this is a reaction though, If I drink a lot of orange juice or anything too sweet this can happen, I always...
  23. yes I think you are right Sylvia, and I may have already overdone it this morning.
  24. There muust be some folks here with experience with feeling starved and too thin. I have always wanted to know what it feels like to have some mass! No offense to people with the opposite problem, I know that is just as difficult and frustrating. Bring it on, I want to party like Orson Wells.
