    I use Udi's bread or lettuce leaves.

    "The slower-onset reaction is more common. Symptoms may include loose stools (possibly containing blood), vomiting, gagging, refusing food, irritability or colic, and skin rashes, like eczema. This type of reaction is more difficult to diagnose because the same symptoms may occur with other health conditions. Most kids will outgrow this form of allergy after...

    I also was on meds for RLS for a while. Part of it appears to have been caused by low iron stores - not anemic, but something my body needed fixing. It was bad and was significantly affecting my sleep and contributing to fibromyalgia, so the meds were really very helpful for me. I've been fortunate that, after going off them to have my daughter, I haven...

    The technical name for dizziness or lightheadedness immediately on standing is orthostatic hypotension. (When you stand up quickly, the body doesn't adjust blood pressure quickly enough and your brain literally gets too little blood for a short period of time.) Many things contribute to it, so investigating underlying conditions/states is good. Vitamin...

    Your GI was entirely, completely, wrong. Like malpractice level wrong. Even for the level of understanding of the disease 10 years ago.

    Actually, those are signs (in the stool) that are classic with milk allergy.

    Almond meal. Buy it directly from the almond growers/processors. Works GREAT in muffins, no mixing/blending required.

    While my daughter doesn't appear to need to be gluten free, if she's with me, she eats gluten free. She's just always eaten what we eat - early foods were sweet potato fries, roasted carrots, pears, apples, avocado, chicken, yogurt, and eventually rice cakes, steak, cheese, rice, broccoli, bell peppers, etc. She definitely enjoys stir fry with us, and has...

    Honestly, YOUR DIET isn't giving grief to others. Their inability to accept, respect, and move on is what is giving them grief. That's their own choice, their own problem. Your health is yours. But you at at the very beginning of a very big learning curve, if you've not already been fairly used to cooking from scratch. Anything this big takes time...

    ALWAYS read the label. But hidden ingredients aren't really a concern here, imho.

    I have no idea the details of how you handled it, but the basic idea? I think it's fine. I'm not that strict at my house, but I understand and support people who choose to be. As was said - your house, your rules. If the kid had (conflicting) allergies, I might have considered a little leeway, but otherwise, no. (And I say that as a parent of a toddler...

    I too am wondering what you're trying to decide. Is this repair many months later? There isn't a lot to decide before hand except for educating yourself on things that will reduce the likelihood of tearing (no purple pushing, avoiding the lithotomy position, supported perineum, slow pushing phase, possibly perineal massage, avoiding episiotomy, etc.). ...

    cream of rice, millet grits (bob's red mill). oatmeal can be made in many, many different textures. steel cut oats are a more similar texture to cream of wheat (I'd think?), and quick cook oats are the ... softest? least textured? something like that. rolled oats are in between.

    I bake with a lot of almond flour. I haven't had much trouble using whatever variety I've bought, but I buy a 25lb box at a time, and definitely don't want to take the time to grind my own. (I make huge batches of muffins and freeze them all at once - like 15 cups worth of almond flour in one go.) I think it's what I use most often, partially because of...

    While it might be pricey, if it's available, yoiu might consider finding a CSA (community supported agriculture) or co-op that delivers produce and meats to you.

    I would absolutely bring my own food to heat up there. No question about it. True story - a number of years ago, my husband and I joined my inlaws at their friend's house for thanksgiving. The lady cooking loved cooking, and did her best to research how to make some items gluten and dairy free. She was telling me about using margarine in the mashed...

    Oh yes, frozen pancakes and muffins are a staple at our house. I make banana muffins )from almond meal) 8-dozen at a time and freeze them, the microwave them to either "just-not-frozen" or "steaming hot", depending on if it's for my toddler or me.

    BRM oats: $0.13/oz BRM millet grits: $0.14/oz BRM mighty tasty hot cereal $0.13/oz Ancient Harvest quinoa flakes $0.43/oz Nabisco Cream of Rice $0.19/oz BRM cream of buckwheat $0.31/oz (prices online at a.m.a.z.o.n) Even gluten free, oats aren't all that expensive. You could probably make you're own cream of rice cereal by partially blending up...

    I would also suggest working with a chiropractor. That, and yoga.

    Butternut Squash and Bean Soup with Bacon Serves 3-4 Ingredients ----------- 2 cans beans (I recommend cannelini or great northern beans) 2 cups diced butternut squash (1/2" cubes, about half of a butternut squash) 2 cups sliced spinach (about half a bunch) 1 package thick sliced bacon (half of it thinly sliced) 1/2 yellow onion, finely diced ...

    I'm gluten and mostly dairy free (I can have some goat dairy, but I don't like the flavor in most things), and I cook gluten and dairy free for my family. My husband doesn't like tomatoes, so we usually don't have those either. We do a lot of stir-fries, soups, and stews, espeically this time of year. What sort of meals are you trying to cook...

    I forget the alternatives I've read on pregnancy/midwifery sites, but you can google for it as it's not super uncommon in some circles for women to use an alternative to glucola for GTT in some areas of care. (If it's for a pregnancy, a professional midwife is most likely to be the most open to the option. Some will even allow you to simply use a glucose...

    I eat things that are made in shared facilities. (Heck, my kitchen isn't strictly gluten free, though we don't *cook* with gluten and my husband's stuff is well segregated. So my own kitchen is a mixed facility.) So I would let me daughter eat such foods. But, I would also be aware of possible reactions and realize that some items could be contaminated...

    as others have noted, we're not trying to be mean. I want to be totally clear - I'm not trying to say that you don't have to cut out anything other than gluten. I'm not trying to say that a grain-free diet is a bad choice. I'm just trying to say that you need to understand what your diet is about. It doesn't make ANY sense to say "no almond flour...
  25. tarnalberry
    I think you're doctor is offering you bad advice. Not just "not mainstream", but "has no scientific support". If you don't understand the diet, how can you follow it?
