About Me

urban dweller and builder of geodesic chicken domes/coops, dreaming of keeping backyard chickens.

  1. EasyerLily, I'm so sorry to hear about your difficult days! Your stomach is going to go through tremendous healing, as are you. Please remember to be kind to yourself I wondered if you have considered probiotics to assist with the healing? I found kombucha & kefir to be great. Your swollen throat and energy levels made me think thyroid. Is...
  2. I thought of MSM as a supplement, and Magnesium. It helped my son with the pins and needles and aching legs.
  3. We use Green Beaver toothpaste. We also will periodically use bentonite clay paste. Good luck
  4. Oh yeah. The corn bloat. I sure don't miss it! I also find that MSM helps reduce inflammation. Best, D
  5. My little guy (now grade 2) has had a rough go of it at school too. Glutened at least once a month. September alone had him sick 3 times. We seem to be doing ok now - 3 months symptom free! And this in a classroom that does candy rewards. (Don't get me started). He has had to become a bigger advocate for himself, (easier when they get older) and washes his...
  6. Sorry to hear your pain. In my experience, eliminating grain and eating wild game and grass fed animals has been an important part of my healing. I wonder how our overall health would change if we more frequently ate from the land again - not the processed aisles of the mega box grocery stores?
  7. Hi Brenda, Welcome - there are so many stories shared on this forum that shed light on our own circumstances and help guide us. Your son is very lucky to have a concerned mom looking out for his best interests. I thought I might add to the great advice given above. I wondered if perhaps your son is feeling as if things are beyond his control and overwhelming...
  8. It's been a while since you posted - I do hope the pain has subsided. I wonder - my son gets a sharp pain too, when he has been glutened. Our naturalpath suggested that it might be caused by a congested liver - my understanding is that the glutening creates toxins that the liver can process. We treat with MSM capsules and a marshmallow root tea...
  9. Oh, you are not alone. I find that there is sometimes even an uncomfortable tension - these poor well meaning friends and family feel that they've gone out of their way to accomodate, and then I break the news that while I'm grateful, I can't eat it. I know my wonderful Mother in Law has been a little miffed at times, and I feel bad (I bring this one myself...
  10. MSM is Methyl Sulfonyl Methane ~ it's a naturally ocurring sulphur compound, found in greens. It's supposed to be good for arthritis pain, but also "blocks" other pain, and helps with the healing process (muscles, etc). It's one of those "essential" pieces we are often deficient in. I get it in powder form, but it's also available in capsules.
  11. Just last week Son got glutened accidentally (...again) and while I usually reach for the colloidal silver and marshmallow tea, this time I also gave him some MSM. He recovered in 24 hours - when it usually takes 3 - 5 days. And, his symptoms were much less intense. Could be a coincidence - but, will definately try again to see if we get similar results next...
  12. I used to think that I was "fine" with corn....but I have since cut it out (along with other grains, along the way) and weird symptoms and reactions started to disappear. If you're interested, there are lots of blogs that share Paleo recipes (grain free - so, corn free, along with other sources of gluten), and this may help. My youngest used to get inflammation...
  13. If you're still looking for ideas to sift through, a combination of both Malva and Marshmallow root tea has been effective, along with MSM in this house/family. ~Hope you find relief soon.
  14. My family (most of us) are "super" grain sensitive, and we use toothepaste made by the Green Beaver Company - we love the green apple flavour, which is also good for people who practise classical homeopathy. I also "oil pull" with coconut oil.
  15. Interesting...my oldest son responds to gluten with a fever (amongst other symptoms). It's been suggested by his Naturalpath, that his liver becomes overloaded with toxins (due to the gluten/gluten response) and this results in congested liver and fever. The fever used to last 5 days, with extreme fatigue ( wouldn't/couldn't walk for 3 - even with Tylenol...
