    Christina - wow, that is overwhelming but very interesting! Thanks for posting. I'm glad you're feeling better! Andrea - you and me both with the fillings. I had 11 at one time filled when I was around 13. Even my front tooth is filled. As an adult I've had to had about 3 of them replaced for one reason or another and I wish at the time I knew...

    Ha! I was going to ask what the answer was to that question, lol. Great information in that post, thanks so much for taking the time to write it for posterity here...I'm wondering if it would help with the environmental allergies...sounds like it would.

    Okay, I've been convicted, lol. I was determined to keep better journals, and did it for about 3 weeks, then did what I always do and got lazy and stopped a few days ago. I still write down what I eat, but I don't keep detailed info on symptoms. Sometimes it's overwhelming, lol, but I need to do that if I'm ever going to get a handle on this all. It...

    I loved your whole post, but this really stood out! I too have friends (and I do it myself too) that won't give up the stuff they know is bad...with me it's not so much that I refuse, I'm just weak, lol. Boy, have any of you ever started eating something then immediately felt like you had to throw up...I was about halfway through my "lunch" when there...

    Okay, so all this talk about histamines has me thinking, lol. I eat a lot of the foods on that list, and I have a ton of environmental allergies which I'm getting shots for. I take Zyrtek pretty regularly although I try to give myself breaks every few months or weeks. Zyrtek makes me kind of tired...I'm supposed to take it once a day, so I take it when...

    I haven't read that...I'll have to look for it. Sugar usually isn't a problem because I haven't had much of it in the last 4 years, but since going gluten free in November I've been like a fiend with it. I can't even seem to get myself back to the maintenance level of my lower carb diet that I was on just before I went gluten-free.
  7. dlp252
    YES! I've told a few people that I'm like an addict with sugar...it's almost uncontrollable after a certain point! Just last week I ate some Hershey's Kisses, and started to feel ill, but it was like I just HAD to eat more. Hum, I'll have to experiment with the maple syrup thing. Agave nectar also seems to be okay, but I've never experimented with making...

    Yep, you're probably right. Although, I'm thinking your gut must be starting to heal! You've held on to this weight for a while now and so hopefully once the intestines heal enough you'd be able to handle more fat. Then again, if your intestines heal enough you probably won't need the fat because the food you eat will stay where it's supposed to. ...

    Yes avocados are a good food...they have lots of good fat, so they have a nice calorie count. I have to watch my weight or I'd eat the whole darned avocado, lol. I also kind of like sweet potatoes better than the others. I never thought I liked squash (any of it), but lately I've been buying some frozen winter squash and I really like it a lot...
  10. dlp252
    Well, now, THAT's scarey, lol. I eat a lot of frozen veggies and fruit. So far I haven't had a horrible reaction, except to frozen spinach after I had done the SCD diet a few weeks...but that was more of a nauseated feeling as I was eating it...not sure what that was all about. I'm hoping it's not true. I can say that most all of the frozen stuff I buy...
  11. dlp252
    It's so easy to get behind isn't it! You may have a point with the organic chicken! I think for me that might be it, combined with the overload like Rachel suggested. When I had my worst itching, I was eating chicken nearly every day and was eating a lot of it...I also wasn't eating organic chicken--it was just from the regular grocery store. The chicken...
  12. dlp252
    I use frozen fruit for my smoothies...yum. The flax seeds can cause a little tummy trouble if you aren't used to eating them...if you do try them, start with just a little bit at a time and slowly up the amount. I used to buy the already ground up flax meal and started with just a teaspoon full in a smoothie, then was able to do a tablespoon, then started...

    The ratios were listed on the email they sent, and it was just a general categorization...the email also said that the ratios would probably need to be tweaked, and for that the full test is required, lol. I'm sure the book goes into it too (or maybe not...the full test looked pretty expensive). The show sounds fun! I love going to stuff like that...
  14. dlp252
    My score was 81, and I did the same thing with a couple of questions...picked 5 for the mid-range. I actually don't eat as much meat as they suggest [ETA: for my type]...they suggested ratio of 40/30/30, with 40 being protein...right now fat is my biggest chunk and it's around 40-50%, carbs are my next and then protein...I may give this a shot and see if...
  15. dlp252
    I meant to say blood typ/e metabolic diets sound interesting, lol. Well I just did the 9-question thing at Dr. Mercola's site...and just with that it said I'm most likely a protein type. That fits with what past experience has shown me.
  16. dlp252
    Great! Thanks so much!!! I'll see if Whole Foods has any of these products tomorrow, and if not, I'll check out my regular grocery stores--I KNOW I've seen them somewhere, lol. The blood type diets sound interesting...I know I'm A but not sure if I'm A+ or A-... I've always felt really good just eating meats and veggies with a little fruit, so...
  17. dlp252
    I think I know where Draegers is and I can probably find Andronicos...I ocassionally travel down Foothill Expressway. It sounds like it will be worth the attempt, cuz that coconut butter sounds wonderful! Yah, it was a shock...I went to the door to open it and it wouldn't open, lol. Then I actually looked at the window and everything was gone.....
  18. dlp252
    I use coconut oil which I get at Whole Foods, but I'd love to find this coconut butter...what store did you find it at?
  19. dlp252
    When I read that I took it to mean that the last time she took a steamy shower that happened, but I'm really worried about what Judy in Phili wrote after that post from Armetta:
  20. dlp252
    I seem to get gluten reaction regardless of whether I take antihistamines or not. They do help with some of my nasal symptoms though. The gluten-free/dairy-free diet has really helped in that regard, so I don't have to take the meds as much, but I do still have to take them ocassionally. I still get other symptoms though when I eat gluten while taking...
  21. dlp252
    No problem, lol, at least it wasn't a senior moment which I've been having all day!
  22. dlp252
    For the diagnosis question, I actually started the diet first, then had a positive diagnosis from Enterolab, THEN had the blood tests done, lol. I ended up picking "positive through Enterolab, no blood tests", because neither my doctor NOR I thought we'd see anything on the blood tests, but ran them anyway for a baseline. I also had started to see positive...

    I saw the Vance's Dairy free at Cupertino Nutrition (a health food store), but I went there yesterday and they (the store) was gone. I can also do soy milk, hazelnut milk and almond milk, but I think Carnation Instant breakfast has dairy in it by itself though--I could be wrong because it's been a long time since I've bought any. A friend tells me...
  24. dlp252
    No accent here, although some words come out slightly "valley girl" at times (not from the right area, so don't know where it comes from, lol). Also some words come out "mid-western" even though I'm from California...my parents were both from the mid-west so guess I learned pronounciation of some things from them. Floridian - I LOVE carnation instant...
  25. dlp252
    Yep, if the heel itch comes back chicken is out. Or, at least drastically reduced, lol. Hum, I probably hurt something halfway through this thread, but not my foot, lol. Although the way we post on this thread, Friday probably WAS halfway through. I hurt my foot on Friday (6/16) afternoon just as I was finishing my workout. Good news on the...
