    I would take that list, and take out things that we know people are reactive to - both from experience here, and the top eight allergens. so, that means taking out at least the fish, the shellfish, the green pepper (nightshades), the leek and garlic (same family as onions), all citrus, a few other fruits many people react to (strawberries, bananas, and...

    peanut butter on rice cakes, hot cereal (at work, made in the microwave), make muffins on a weekend and heat them up in the morning

    but if you're trying to do an elimination diet, the first things you have to exclude are the top eight allergens, and that includes dairy.

    elimination diets seem to be different; mine allowed pork, and olive oil, no fish. frankly, the hypoglycemia issue was the hardest thing for me, and I think it's because I didn't plan meals sufficiently - all my meals and snacks. I think it can be done, but plan it carefully, and be willing to stop if you have to.

    You can be optimistic and happy and still have depression, and anxiety. Most people would describe me as happy, and definitely optimistic, but I also have been dx'ed with something between dysthymia and mild-moderate depression concommittant with fibro. These things can come in a big tangled bundle that is difficult to untangle. But, I don't mean...

    if by "these symptoms", you mean constipation and intense abdominal pain as you attempt to pass a bowel movement - yeah, an intolerance can do that. you still need to get protein, and may need to find out if it's protein in general, you may have to try other meats (not poultry), unless you decide you want to go vegetarian.

    you've noted that you've had chicken every time you've not felt well. perhaps try the exact same menu, but with a different meat. (the mayo and salsa are all combined foods, so it's hard to say what in them might be bothering you...)

    I haven't had a problem. Sure, it makes 8 mile hikes at elevation two days after a bit tougher, and I haven't given blood in the past half year to see if it's any different since my fibro dx, but it hasn't been a problem.
  9. tarnalberry
    2 to 3 months on 3 to 4 slices of bread (or the equivalent) each day for a reasonable (but not guaranteed) chance of an honest result out of the tests.

    theo, cluizel, and a few others are also GFCFSF. there's a thread that talks about them.

    I would want something that anyone would want to eat, that happens to be gluten free. I'd likely be looking for fish, in HI, but chicken would be fine, and a vegetarian option is a good idea as well. it shouldn't be anything out of the theme, but should be fantabulous for the price.

    At least two hours before or after the antibiotics.

    if you were using her pots/utensils, you might consider carrying one or two of your own - I generally am fine dealing with traveling to my MIL's, but it varies a lot on a number of things.

    At your age and activity level, low. That's not to say nonexistant, but osteoarthritis is a condition that comes from overuse - and that's generally due to long-term poor wearing patterns. And it would have to be a noticeable problem for only two decades of wear to cause a problem at this point. That doesn't mean it's not worth checking out the problem...

    I had a sleep study done because I have fibro and don't sleep well... I was borderline for restless leg, and the medication they put me on for it has helped wonders. I was already on all the supplements and minerals recommended for helping that, along with behavioral types of things, but this really did make a difference.
  16. tarnalberry
    at this point, I'd consider adding a few things back in - though maybe still staying away from fruit - just to get you feeling better mentally. the frequent, small meals, with a few more items, may help. at this point, you may need to pursue further medical testing, without sticking quite so strictly to the elimination diet. I'm sorry it's going so rough...

    You don't actually have to sleep there to have a sleep study do you good - and they may also prescribe sleep aids if they're looking for apnea or something like that. There's plenty of measurements they can take while you're trying to get to sleep that can help. (Lots of sensors, everywhere! ) And a reasonable sleep center has a little room - just...

    I would encourage you to get a sleep study done, if you haven't already. That may help identify what issues are at play. It'll take at least a whole night, but just the one, most likely, and may help rule out (or in) a number of different issues.
  19. tarnalberry
    If you were already feeling horrible, then the chicken today may be a red herring - it's hard to say. If you haven't tried going without fruit, it's worth a try, based on what you've said. (A couple articles from pubmed on fructose intolerance: Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link) As for the puffed rice...

    Meh, I'm sure others will comment much the same from what I've read in other threads, but I've found blood sugar testing in the doctors office to be not much help for reactive hypoglycemia. Even my doctor, who saw my results after a standard screening during a physical, said that it can be tough to diagnose clinically and that symptoms were important indicators...
  21. tarnalberry
    the germ and bran of the grain both contain protein, which includes gliadin. definitely not gluten free.
  22. tarnalberry
    You can tell if it's a blood sugar issue if you find that you feel better after eating, for about half an hour, and then feel worse. You can also use blood sugar monitors to test regularly to find out if you have a sudden drop or spike, which can definitely cause stomach aches and headaches, at the least. I am suggesting, given all that you've been trying...
  23. tarnalberry
    assuming you've made sure that it isn't a blood sugar issue (on an elimination diet like this, it can be hard to keep blood sugar intact, and hypoglycemic symptoms can include stomach aches), at this point, I would start looking for doctors who will work with you - and I wouldn't hold only with mainstream western medicine (but wouldn't leave it out either...

    I'd be interested in seeing a study about it, but am skeptical until then. One of the key features of the gluten molecule, particularly the segment responsible for the autoimmune reaction, is that it is *extraordinarily* hardy. It stays intact past 600C. This bugger's hard to denature. Possible? Sure, but I'd want to see actual chemical analysis before...

    my recipe thread has some Gluten-free Casein-free baked goods (that should be SF too). I generally find there isn't any need to modify anything else when doing milk substitutions, but I also generally use almond milk (which has soy lecithin).
