    I have been thinking that I get glutened from my chicken meat for a while now. When googling, I came across this post. I made chicken soup a couple of days ago, with all fresh ingredients, and a whole organic chicken from our butcher, as usual. And again, as usual, I am sick today, and have stomach and bowel cramps and diarrhea. There is no way this is...

    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    You are right. I had never heard of him before looking at this thread. Yet when I started doing research on vaccinations (and KNOWING that my oldest daughter got damaged by the DPT vaccine) after my youngest daughter got her first shot 17 years ago, NONE of my five kids ever got another vaccine. And my youngest ended up being the healthiest of the bunch...

    I copied and saved the form, in case I ever need it. No doctor in his right mind would sign that, of course, but it would sure make them realize what they are doing (at least I hope so).

    I had absolutely horrible pain before I diagnosed myself. My stomach was so inflamed that wearing a bra or tight pants was impossible, it caused so much pain. So, not only did I have severe stomach and bowel cramps, but just slightly poking me in the stomach area (just below the rib cage, but also lower) would make me cry out if caught unawares. Its...

    Many here have done the parasite cleanse by Open Original Shared Link, including myself. My naturopath read through the information I showed him, and told me it was better than what he had been using with his patients, and he was switching. It is MUCH cheaper than any other parasite cleanse I have seen, and very effective. And yes, it is perfectly safe...

    When I came back from Germany last year, I brought lots of buckwheat bread and crisp bread back with me, as I am unable to buy anything like it here. When my nephew came to visit recently, he had a quarter of his suitcase filled with bread he brought for me. There is no need to declare that kind of thing. I have traveled quite a bit, and NEVER had a...

    I don't know if you can get this where you are, as it is made in Canada (Cambridge, Ontario). I found that the 'gourmet bread' by El Peto is excellent and tastes just like light rye bread. Even my (extremely picky) teenager eats it! Before our store started carrying it, neither one of us ate bread, because all the other breads are gross.

    I am afraid there isn't much you can do, other than return it (if you haven't opened it), because if it says gluten-free, and has wheat flour listed in the ingredients, that is misleading information. Also, you may want to let the manufacturer know that you are quite unhappy with this.

    If you have the celiac disease genes, it is entirely possible that your pregnancy and giving birth could have triggered active celiac disease. A lot of people here were fine before having babies. In which case eating low fat/low protein and high carb is about the WORST possible diet for you! In fact, that kind of diet isn't good for anybody. You felt...

    I am not sure why you have to use hand sanitizer at all. My daughter wears contact lenses, and she washes her hands with soap (gluten-free) and water before handling her contacts. Hand sanitizer only kills germs, it doesn't clean your hands.

    Lori, you will NEVER get completely well if you keep working in your bakery. If you truly are gluten intolerant, then it simply is not safe.

    The most common troublesome ingredient in shampoo is wheat germ oil. They also like to use barley extract and oat bran, which can both be a problem. When I switched to Dove shampoo, conditioner and mousse from my previous (organic brand, which contained wheat germ oil), the terrible itching on my scalp that was driving me mad disappeared.

    I just found this the other day about canola oil. I had known for a long time that it isn't healthy, but this says it is highly toxic. You may want to make your own mayo, or find some that isn't made with canola oil. Open Original Shared Link

    Well, the doctor in Germany diagnosed me with Addison's. But my adrenal antibody test came back negative (in the meantime I've heard that it can become negative after a while if you have had undiagnosed Addison's for a long time), so I don't know what is causing mine. Adrenal exhaustion is also called Addison's, but the cause is different. No antibodies,...

    Yes, anxiety is a very common symptom of celiac disease. As is withdrawal when you eliminate gluten. Not everybody experiences withdrawal, but the people who do can be feeling absolutely dreadful for up to two weeks. The reason for that is, that gliadin (a part of the gluten) will act on the brain like an opioid, and when you stop eating it, it is like...

    Have you tried a neti pot before? It might help, they can be very beneficial.

    Actually, vigorous exercise is the worst thing to do for adrenal exhaustion! For people with adrenal exhaustion, exercise will deplete the adrenal glands further, which will eventually lead to collapse, and even death. Yes, you can whip them to produce adrenalin, but eventually it will backfire. He will feel less exhausted temporarily with exercise. The...

    You see, what I am saying is, that he DOES say in his book that low fat diets have been shown to specifically cause breast cancer in women and colon cancer in men, and yes, they cause heart disease. That is what I am saying........ I have also read the few articles of his that are floating around the Internet. And you are right, they don't say those things...

    The testing the ND did is valid, and the positive antibody test along with the diet bringing improvement is really all the diagnosis you should need to realize that your daughter has celiac disease and absolutely should stay on the gluten-free diet for life. It sounds like your whole family should be on the gluten-free diet, as you sound like you all have...

    I hope they are not planning on doing something that will cause 'empty nose syndrome', because that would be worse. Open Original Shared Link It might be better to figure out what causes the allergies, and treat them, rather than messing with your nose. Your stuffy nose is a symptom, not the cause. When I was 19, I had nose surgery to 'correct' what...

    Yes, travelling is really tiring to me. Any little stresses throw me, too. My dental cleaning was too stressful for me! I was shaking and had to take extra hydrocortisone before I could walk. I fell down the stairs (didn't see the last two steps in the dark) a couple of weeks ago, and was so weak that I was unable to walk (after barely making it to the...

    The problem with prescription vitamin D is, that it is usually the artificial kind (D2), which is almost useless, and some studies show it to be dangerous to your health. What you need is vitamin D3, which is in cod liver oil. My vitamin D was quite low when tested almost three years ago. I started taking Carlson's cod liver oil (two tablespoons a day...

    I am not sure what you are saying. Of course he wouldn't say that high fat diets cause cancer, as he is proving the OPPOSITE! And in his book (which is a fat book, that takes quite a while to read) you will find lots and lots more evidence than his articles. In fact, the articles I found he wrote quite a while before he wrote the book, and even says that...

    If you would read Gary Taubes' book, "Good Calories, Bad Calories", and a book called "Life Without Bread, how a low carbohydrate diet can save your life" by Christian B. Allan, Ph.D., and Wolfgang Lutz, M.D., you would find that evidence. Gary Taubes took years to read through reams of medical journals, articles and studies (many of which we wouldn't...
