    Michael - Here's a little info for question 1: "Amino acids are water soluble and most can occur in two different forms: L-form or D-form. The "L" and "D" simply refer to the direction of the light rotation by the molecules of the amino acid. The L-form of an amino acid (from the word "levorotary") rotates light to the left and the D-form (from the...

    Hey Penny, I had the neuropsychological analysis done by a neuropsychologist (weird coincidence, huh?? tee-hee) I met her through the state rehabilitation program. I went to the state rehabilitation program because the University of Utah Disability Services Center sent me there! They were trying to determine if I was "worthy" of aid, and needed...

    I just realized how indecisive I must sound! "Take it - don't take it - take xanax - no, do yoga..." Really there are just so many options and all have good and bad sides. I think you'll have to trust your heart on this one! I'm afraid that none of us can decide for you! I hope we at least help though - Michelle "I used to think I...

    ARCHIVED Anxiety Meds

    Emme999 replied to jknnej's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    Good points!!!! Seriously, even the pharmaceutical companies don't know exactly how these drugs work. I had a friend who was working on her PhD in neurochemistry and she was doing a lot of studies on chemical interactions with serotonin - and even she didn't really know how it all worked. The brain is an unbelievably complex and wonderfully complicated...

    Jenn - If xanax is working for you (and you've got a doctor willing to prescribe it) - then maybe you ought to just stick with that. Effexor helped me a lot but it definitely made me kind of "drugged" (sleepy, slightly lethargic, etc.) - I don't think I would ever take it without Wellbutrin. It was the combo that was fab for me. But it is horrible...

    Thanks for the extra instruction!! I was thinking that I should have asked you about adding extra ginger right after I hit that "Add Reply" button (doh!) - thanks for reading my mind I looooove ginger and will probably add too much and go bliss crazy! Have you ever added garlic? Or used maple syrup instead of sugar? I'm just wondering about delicious...

    Fab idea celiac3270! I can't imagine anyone being irritated by your quoting their wisdom I wish we had a person like you in *our* local support group! You are the best! - Michelle

    Okay. Thanks for the interpretation The whole thing started with this (really yummy) mix of that wild rice, soy sauce, chicken, and gluten-free teriyaki sauce from Premier Japan (ingredients: Filtered Well Water, Wheat-free Tamari, Dehydrated Cane Juice, Apple Cider Vinegar, Ginger Root, Toasted Sesame Oil, Salt, Tapioca Starch, Garlic, Lemon Juice...

    Hello. I am having some difficulty today and am wondering what's going on. I've eaten the Lundberg farms Wild Rice blend that contains long grain brown rice, sweet brown rice, wild rice bits, Wehani, and Black Japonica. I've realized that my gluten reaction is emotional. I get either really angry or really sad. I've been furious all day today with...

    Alan - That is so wickedly clever!! I love it! I think I'll be copying your post and sending it to some of the people heading our local GIG (Gluten Intolerance Group). Thanks for sharing your slyness - Michelle

    Luap - Okay, first I want to know what mad cow disease has to do with glutamine..? I have read your statement a number of times now and cannot find the correlation. Perhaps you are trying to say that glutamine & asparagine promote the growth of mad cow disease. That may be true. But, that does *not* mean that they *cause* mad cow disease. I...

    ARCHIVED Miserable

    Emme999 replied to jknnej's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I think you *really* need to find out more about your potassium levels. It is such an important mineral! Do you like/tolerate bananas? Eat some They are really rich in potassium. Potassium supplements contain 99 mg, but a banana contains 500 mg. (I definitely do not recommend taking lots of potassium supplements - but bananas are good! ) For more...

    In the book "Dangerous Grains" it talks about how there is an addiction to gluten - maybe that's why we feel lousy for a while after giving it up. Going through withdrawls Here's the quote: "There are certain peptides, or protein fragments, found in gluten and in casein, a protein found in milk, that look and act just like the narcotic known as...

    Carrie - Thanks for posting the mercola site. I think it's a great commentary because it contains a link to Robert Crayhon's rebuttal of the Excitotoxins author AND the rebuttal to the rebuttal Here is his quote: "Also, the idea that supplemental glutamine is all metabolized to glutamate is simply not the case. Have you ever seen a patient...

    I hate that you've caught me when I'm away from my books I will get back to you on this - absolutely, because I don't want anyone to be concerned. But consider this: Several stressors can result in a decrease of muscle glutamine levels. These stressors include, but are not limited to, burns, fasting, malnutrition, uncontrolled diabetes, infections...

    Hello I am trying to decide if I should put up the cash for either a mixer or a bread machine. I'm somewhat wary of machines because (even with gluten) the bread my mom has made in her machine has never been that great. Kind of rubbery, actually I also don't want the bread to be funky looking. I'd like to have it as close to the real deal...

    LOL Hey for all you sickos who like Larabars (j/k!) - I noticed that they have them on sale at drugstore.com. I don't know what price you pay for these or anything - so I don't even know if this is a deal - but here's the link Open Original Shared Link It's cool that they sell gluten free stuff at drugstore.com! - Michelle

    Tiffany, Hey I can't stand the taste of fruity pebbles either! You aren't that out there I don't think you need to be a health nut to be slightly sickened by that funky fruity super sweetness!

    Hey - if you want a *REALLY* good bar, try the Doctors CarbRite bars. Holy hell they are good!!! We used to sell out of them every time they came in at the nutrition store. I could never order enough boxes! People would order them a week in advance. I *LOVED* them so much!! I think I have tried pretty much every bar out there (because there was nothing...

    I love the slogan! It takes a serious subject and deals with it with humor. Plus - it will also get people to ask you about it, then you can *smile* and tell them about it and take away any negativity. But - this does suck! I mean, seriously! I would love to get one of these shirts and wear it to a bakery or a pastry shop or whatever - maybe that...

    I love that little green guy - definitely shows how I felt after my first taste of a lara bar! Blech! What kind did you have? The first one I tried was cashew cookie - which sounds good - but is made with only dates & cashews & nothing else! Pure raw gross. I was adventurous enough to try another though - the chocolate coconut one...

    You are lucky to have a paranoid husband I wish *my* family was paranoid! That would certainly make my life easier!
  23. Emme999
    Good idea!!! Especially the part of having them bring it to you on the foil! Good thinkin'
  24. Emme999
    I really like the Living Without magazine. It's nice because it often has recipes & such dealing with *other* food allergies (that seem to be common to celiacs) - they usually have a couple in there that exclude dairy or eggs in their ingredients. Also - though it isn't specifically for celiacs, I've found that a huge portion of it deals with gluten...

    Thanks guys I forgot to add something: If you do take it, the timing is really important. You need to take it on an empty stomach. Thirty minutes before or two hours after a meal. I take mine in powder form dropped in a glass of almond or soy milk. I use the powder so I can get a high dose w/o lots of pills. Also - for those who've had problems...
