    I hope your brother sticks with it. Not sure why he'd want to go back to feeling crappy... :/

    It sounds most likely like an allergy - a true food allergy. You may want to get tested, and be cautious with dairy, as true allergies can increase with exposure.

    Just another broken record saying "see if you can identify other foods causing this problem". Milk (lactose intolerance) is a *very common* culprit, but *MANY* other things can cause it as well.

    So much media coverage! Well, lots of little hits, anyway.

    How sad is it that your friend had to hear this from some random wait-person at a restaurant that she had no knowledge of before she believed it?!?!?!

    Yep, they can keep their 'trade secret'. And you can take your business elsewhere. :/ I'm glad you're sending a letter; I hope it will help!

    While there's a small potention for contamination from most of those items, what you describe - particularly the chills and length of time/course of symptoms - makes me strongly think food poisoning.

    It's hard to tell from your post - did they do a biopsy while they were in there? Did they do blood work? You can always try the diet without any prescription and see how it helps you (or not).

    I look for appetizers and other small things - but *quick* appetizers. I also look for pictures. I let my visual taste buds be my guide with cookbooks.

    heh... my ipod playlists are designed by tempo - mellow uptempo, happy upbeat, loud and fast, chillout.

    I'm sorry you had such a rotten experience with the GI, but that's great that your ped's working with you so well!

    I could be wrong, but I don't think all blue cheese was ever off the list. Only some of it is made with bread. The best bet is to call the company, since there's no judging a whole category at once.

    A set routine, low lighting in the hours before bedtime, low noise volume, and avoidance of anything excessively stimulating (even TV), helps - particularly in addition to the suggestions given. Exercise during the day (at least four hours before sleep) can help as well. (Of course, I was at work until 3:30am this morning - I'm usually a 9-5'er M-F, so...

    Good luck! At least you don't need *anything* from a doc to treat this one. Perhaps you can find different insurance (I hesitate to change jobs just because I have good insurance, but sometimes a job change can enable this sort of thing), if this is a repeating issue? Or a different Kaiser branch. There are *some* good doctors within Kaiser. (I hear...

    Mission tortillas are pretty much everyone around the west coast - even the drug stores (and I'm not kidding! ). Other things I roll in them: tuna mixed with avocado, scrambled eggs, sliced ham, sausage. elonwy's right, though, they are very mass produced. if you can find better ones, I recommend it. even better is making them from scratch. time...

    I have a feeling that the older gluten-free beers - New Grist, Rampo Valley, and Bard's Tale, are going to find that they are the ones squeezed by the competition of the AB Redbridge release, since AB has a *much* larger advertising budget.

    While damage to the intestines can cause vitamin deficiencies due to malabsorption, and it's worth getting tested if you suspect one, going on the diet will heal the damage. A multivitamin is good insurance, but in most cases you can get all the nutrients you need from eating a well balanced, well rounded, varied set of natural foods in your daily diet.

    Soup in a thermos! Or chili. Chicken salad (with avocado), veggies with hummus, chips and salsa, apples and peanut butter, hard boiled eggs, and tuna wraps are all good cold too.

    Ditto on the tinkyada love. I serve it to the unsuspecting and they never know (until the eat it, remember I can't have pasta, and then I tell them).
  20. tarnalberry
    perhaps you're in the "I can't have" stage. where it seems like you can't have anything. tends to make even the best of us a bit rebellious. instead, try to *specifcally notice* all the things you can have. this will not only help improve your outlook (because you'll be telling yourself through the day "I can have that, and that, and that") but will...

    Because an hour long show would have had to involve discussion of poop. ^That is not a joke. En masse, "we" (not the board, we've gotten over it) aren't mature enough to be able to comfortably talk about these things. On the other hand, it's my understanding that this was true of Autism in the not too distant past as well.

    Make stew without slow-cooking it! Tri tip makes a great 25-minute cook time stew (just long enough for the potatoes to cook). Any tender meat won't need the stewing time. (This assumes, of course, that you want to eat stew. ) Or make soup but put the meat in last - like if you're making chicken-rice soup, put the chicken in with 15 minutes to go...

    I would absolutely suspect the gluten that you've been getting. That's a lot of gluten! It's surely done a fair amount of damage at this point, and the only thing to do now is stop eating it, double check the rest of your diet, and hopefully get to feeling better soon!
  24. tarnalberry
    All but the last one isn't *wrong* however. It may not have had the emphasis most of us want, but saying "OMG DON'T EVER TOUCH ANOTHER TOASTER BUT YOURS" or not *ALWAYS* calling people on every possible cross contamination isn't realistic and wouldn't be taken well by viewers. It's a fact that people cheat - a lot of people cheat. We don't condone it,...

    Yep, that's the test for antibodies against your own body. They don't rely on symptoms alone because the symptoms can be caused by something else, and some people don't display symptoms. It's horridly non-straightforward.
