    You might want to consult a glycemic index. Here's one: Open Original Shared Link White Rice: there's one that is 112 GI, most are over 58 Sugar: GI Index of 58 (makes sense, 50% of it doesn't cause a glucose rise since it is fructose) Cocoa puffs is close to 100. I saw a rice flour bread in there that was shockingly high.

    I get an error when trying to view it, an encryption error.

    RH tends to be associated with pre-diabetes. Fasting hypoglycemia tends to be due to problems with the glucagon release or really nasty diseases that are pretty rare. Google "fasting hypoglycemia" if you want to scare yourself. If you've got the sort where your blood sugars aren't actually low (which is defined as < 60), but you get the shakes, faintness...

    185 is VERY high for 2 hours after a meal. You're probably in pre-diabetic range at least. Here's an interesting discussion of what normal glucose numbers should be: Open Original Shared Link People think of eating too much sugar when they're thinking about blood glucose but in reality starches can be just as bad if not worse. On the glycemic scale...

    I understood that to be the case but the fruit (which the flour is made from) contains coconut oil which is a very stable oil. So it doesn't seem like something which could easily go rancid.
  6. Nancym
    Coconut flour is usually defatted coconut flour. I've had some for a long time and it doesn't smell rancid. Vydor, I get it from netrition.com or simplycoconut.com. I think I paid around 8 bucks for 2 pounds. But it lasts a long, long time. Also, in my experience, coconut oil is very stable. They used to use it in baked goods all the time because...

    I think men deny it a lot more than women. To a lot of them an illness like this represents weakness. Even though they'd never admit it, men need to fit in more than women do. Not being able to "have a beer with the guys" or having to fuss over ordering food in a restaurant is pretty unmanly. And I think they're more concerned with their gender identity...

    What's so funny is how I remember eating vegetarian things that were meant to taste like meat. You'd think it'd be just a quick hop back to real meat...

    I use coconut flour nowadays. it is low carb, tons of fiber. I make a delicious muffin and microwave it in the bowl I mix it in. It is great stuff! You're definitely doing bad things to yourself with all the starches and sugars you're eating. I've read that the hypoglycemic symptoms that people get with reactive hypoglycemia is because of the quick...

    I'd say go ahead and have the biopsy but even if it comes out negative try the diet. So many people find the diet clears up a lot of problems.

    I don't use bread replacements as I try to avoid all grains, beans and stuff like that. My health and weight are a lot easier to control without all that.

    Only something like 50% of the human genome has been figured out (as to what they do). There are some new recent advances though that should be turning up some very interesting things. What's going to be even more interesting is proteinomics, that is discovering the proteins that these genes code for.

    It sounds like RLS. You might try supplementing B12 and see if it helps. I had a lot of weird twitches, vibrations, pin-prick sensations for about 1 year after going gluten free. I started to take a lot of B12 and they've gone away.

    I bought one probably 15-20 years ago. It wasn't the highest power by any means and it has done fine with whatever I've thrown at it. Still works good! The attachments are another matter... they're made from plastic and all ended up cracking even though I didn't use them much. I did buy new ones and hopefully they've corrected whatever it was that...

    Open Original Shared Link might might be of interest. Its about acne and dairy products.

    I have found there are a lot of foods that give me the "D". Many sorts of seeds, maybe peanuts, gluten and casein for sure. Sometimes its just a matter of trial and error to find what it is. I think a key towards eliminating leaky gut is finding out what is causing the intestinal irritation and getting rid of that. Sometimes it is more than just one food...

    There are so many symptoms that often times it gets overlooked because it doesn't match the classic ones: weight loss, diarrhea, intestinal ones. For me I had IBS (running to the potty many times a day, cramping), brain fog, fatigue, and terrible gas. It was amazing to me how cutting out dairy and wheat reduced my gas to almost nothing.

    I just made a custard from coconut milk (or cream) and eggs with some sweetener. It was very good! I also make a lemon curd (like a custard) with lemons, eggs, sweetener. With raspberries on top it is sinful. Sometimes for breakfast I eat olives and nuts. Other I make a coffee cake out of coconut flour and rice bran (and other delicious things...

    You can be a celiac without the 2 genes they know about. It's rare, but it does happen. So you have my permission to call yourself a celiac. I do it too, even though I wasn't diagnosed by biopsy.
  20. Nancym
    Somehow the human race managed to do just fine without wheat until a few thousand years ago.

    I am so skeptical of dieticians. They seem like such a badly informed group of people most of the time. I bet you could get better info from support groups like us and local ones.

    HLA-DQB1 Molecular analysis, Allele 1 0302 (DQ8 -- Celiac) HLA-DQB1 Molecular analysis, Allele 1 0501 (DQ1 -- Gluten Sensitivity Dr. Hadjivasilliou finds this one in brain related gluten issues)

    Well, I'm not so sure that they don't go hand in hand (nutrition and healing). I'd suspect you're eating things that'd still bugging you. Microwave ovens should be pretty easy to work around. You can always place a plate on top of whatever you're microwaving to make sure something doesn't fall in. I've always heard that pharmacists have a lot...

    Well, I give you all a lot of credit. Frankly I can't stand self-centered people and I just avoid them.
  25. Nancym
    Hey! Glad to hear you're figuring this out. I just bought a glucose meter too. I had some really low readings like 58. But they might have been mistakes, although I might have fasting hypoglycemia. You probably had reactive hypoglycemia, I'm guessing. Anyway, I don't think mine is too severe, I just get very, very sleepy without the shakes. I find...
