Cordain is not 100% solid on saturated fat being bad. I think he's moderating his stance on that in light of new evidence that it probably isn't the main contributer to heart disease (actually... probably carbohydrates are). Actually, I'm not sure what the Paleo position is on bell peppers, or hot peppers. I assumed it was nixed because they're in the...

ARCHIVED Dont Know How To Cook It
Nancym replied to Lister's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I love a bit of lemon, butter (or olive oil) and salt & pepper on broccoli. -
Loren Cordain is quite alive, so I assume you're talking about Rober Atkins? The differences between Cordain and Atkins is basically Cordain promotes a diet that humans have been eating for > 10,000 years, while Atkins is just low carb. You can eat diary, wheat, anything on Atkins, as long as it is low carb. The premise is that we really have...

Wow, interesting! I wonder if immitrix would work on it? I always found my migraines were often triggered by hormonal changes. When I was on the BC pill it was hell! Caused migraines like mad.

ARCHIVED Shocking Story #2
Nancym replied to concerned-mom061's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Actually, it might also be "expert syndrome". The guy wanted to carve out a field where he wanted to be known for his expertise. So he found all these cases of MBP. It is a common way to promote yourself in a little known field. You paint a grim picture using FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt) and exploit it to your advantage. This is really terrifying... -
ARCHIVED Shocking Story #2
Nancym replied to concerned-mom061's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I've seen this time and again on Mystery Diagnosis. Some Mom with a sick kid get accused of this and it turns out it was the Dr's incompetence. Here's an organization that helps people dealing with this: Open Original Shared Link I think this might be a MD mental disorder. One doctor did this to 6 different families. Open Original Shared Link... -
jmengert said my new philosophy, "Its just food". If I got sick for days on end, I'd definintely not even try to eat out.

Chicken yellow curry is very mild. Panang curry, my favorite has a slight kick to it. Be sure to ask about wheat though, they might use soy sauce, just depends on the place. Also I love Tom Ka Kai, it is a soup made with coconut milk.

What is the non-compliance rate? I haven't seen any statistics. I guess the thing that would burn me up is, if doctors knew the best treatment was a dietary one but didn't tell you. I realize there will be non-compliant people, I know all kinds of people that don't care if they die from lung cancer or heart disease due to smoking. They don't care...

I think the sad thing is, most diabetics aren't even given the information that they could reduce or eliminate their dependence on medication by diet. Instead they're told that medication will reduce the damage to them caused by diabetes. But they're still having unacceptably high blood sugars and long term damage. I remember seeing a Mystery Diagnosis...
-
Ummm... this is very interesting. But I don't see how it relates to the topic? Sorry, I'm very interested in the doctor/diabetes thing and a little disappointed the conversation has gotten so far off track.

ARCHIVED Prometheus Vs. Enterolab Testing
Nancym replied to High-Tech Mom's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
You could possibly search the forums and find how many people posted that they had negative results. This question comes up at least once a week. Dr. Fine has results that are going to upset a lot of apple carts when he publishes. He's going to have a long, ardurous journey proving his method against the established beliefs. He knows this so he's working... -
ARCHIVED Is It Really Possible To Avoid Trace Amounts?
Nancym replied to rutland's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
And your autoimmune system. I think you can avoid trace amounts, if you don't eat out, don't buy multi-ingredient products and don't let anyone else in your house eat it, watch the non-food stuff. All stuff that is very hard to maintain vigilence on and being a busy human of today. -
ARCHIVED Maltodextrin, Mallitol, Sorbitol...
Nancym replied to capecodda's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
If you're a food scientist wannabe like I am, you'll find this really amazing: Open Original Shared Link They say don't ever use a sugar alcohol in bread because it'll kill the yeast. -
ARCHIVED Maltodextrin, Mallitol, Sorbitol...
Nancym replied to capecodda's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Open Original Shared Link are sugars that end in a "ol", like malitol and sorbitol. Your body can't digest them, so they usually end up in the intestines are are digested by the microbes living there. Anyway, that process causes huge gas and, if you eat too much, diarrhea. So there's always a caution about that on the label of those things. There... -
ARCHIVED More Efficient/easier Gardening
Nancym replied to utdan's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
It isn't exactly new, it has been around for decades. But it is always exciting to learn stuff like that. It reminds me I really need to rennovate my garden. Poor thing is so disused right now. -
Someone posted something about someone... (what a sentence!) on the original brain talk message forum, who had wonderful success treating their MS with diet. When it comes back online check here for it: http://brain.hastypastry.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=141
-
Ok, you've hijacked my thread to talk about something totally unrelated. *pout* Let me see if I can put it back closer to the original subject: You're holding Dr. Fine up to a much higher standard than the current diagnosis method?
-
You should read his essay and look over his slides. I think you'd learn some stuff that you'd find interesting. I had the opportunity to hear him speak a month ago. He said that 30% of the random people off the street have antibodies to gliadin in their intestines. He also gets 100% correspondence to biopsy proven celiacs. He's been keeping statistics...

ARCHIVED Is Beer A Trigger For Celiac's?
Nancym replied to capecodda's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Maltodextrin is made from corn in the us, but it might be barley elsewhere. Some of us don't do so good with corn either. -
ARCHIVED Feeling Worse On The Elimination Diet
Nancym replied to emcmaster's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Just want to explain something. If you go from a high carb, starchy or high sugar diet to one of meats and veggies you're going to have a couple of weeks of adjustment. Your body is shifting from a high glucose/insulin mode to doing things like converting proteins to glucose and burning dietary fat and body fat. After the conversion process you'll feel... -
I've noticed that as Society demands more and more convience that our health gets worse and worse. I find that spending time planning makes up for the extra work. Doing my cooking on the weekends. Reworking the foods I eat so that I'm eating good healthy foods rather than convenient foods. I'm a hard ass, if I had a family and I was cooking meals...

ARCHIVED Incredibly Painful Joints
Nancym replied to Canadian Karen's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Karen, I'm going to get myself on the Paleo diet. I've heard a lot of folks have had success with it in regards to arthritis. I don't know if I can give up my beloved chilis though. I'm quite addicted to Thai curry. So far the best thing for me has been my medication. Not all drugs work for everyone but the Sulfasalazine seems to work for me fairly... -
ARCHIVED Newbie Questions Re Elimination Diet
Nancym replied to kathy2005's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Personally I'm trying (and soon trying harder) to eliminate things from my diet that are processed and packaged and have long lists of ingredients. I've got a nasty autoimmune disease and I'm reacting to something in my diet still. When you have an ingredient list as long as your arm how can you really trust what is in that thing? Whey protein... I think... -
ARCHIVED Bread/waffles/b Fast Food Recs
Nancym replied to kimber's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I love the name of this recipe. I haven't tried it yet, but others have and liked it: The url keeps getting munged by the forum software. Just search for "Sneaky Waffles" and you'll find it.
