  1. Carole, I'm interested in your coconut yogurt...does it taste good, lol? Also, has anyone tried with alternative milks like almond milk?
  2. I've been thinking of trying this for some time now, but just haven't done it. I've printed off a bunch of stuff from the website, but think I will look for the book. Rachel, like you I was on the anti-candida, anti-yeast diet for several months so I'll look forward to see what you think of this one.
  3. Gosh, so sorry you had a rough night hope it's better today. How were the antibiotics for the C.Diff? I had taken about a month and a half of antibiotics (all of October and part of November) for Strep, ear infection, sinus infection and you name it, lol. Then in January I had a week of antibiotics for bladder surgery...the D happened around my surgery...
  4. Thank you Shirley, that helped a lot! Stress makes sense I guess...I try not to stress about anything, but I know that it's there just the same and it doesn't help with things happen like today. My doctor's office called today (Saturday, , lol) and wanted to talk to me (unfortunately I wasn't home and by the time I called them back they were gone).....
  5. Okay, I've been gluten free since the beginning of November and casein free since the middle of December...I'm still having some issues with D, which could be from a lot of things, including what my doctor thinks may be C. Diff or colitis from antibiotic use (she found blood in my stool). I'm also thinking something I'm eating may be adding to the problem...
  6. Wow, that sounds great! I have some almond flour that I bought locally, I'm wondering if that would work just as well! I may have to try this for dinner, lol.
  7. Well, from my own personal experience (lots of it unfortunately), the antibiotics themselves may have caused the D, and it just may take a couple of weeks for that to settle down. Unfortunately I don't have a lot of advice...I've also been having a problem with D for about two months now (since some surgery in January where I had to take some antibiotics...
  8. There have been a couple of people that I can remember on the boards who had a negative test from Enterolabs, but I'm not sure they're still posting here. If I can find the posts I'll post a link. The Enterolab website says you can be gluten-free for about a year and their test will still find the antibodies. I never went the traditional way of testing...
  9. Glad you are feeling better today, and that you came away from your appointment with something useful! I read the whole post, lol.
  10. I'm going to seen a GI on the 20th for a pre-consult for a colonoscopy. My Internist wants me to tell him about my gluten intolerance. If he turns out to be knowledgeable I'll post back.
  11. I take Zyrtek and do okay with it. I'm also still getting allergy shots--in my 4th year. I was just able to go down to once a week and am anxiously waiting until I can do every other week, lol.
  12. I never cheat on purpose, it's not worth the agony afterward.
  13. Now than Jenvan has responded, I just wanted to add that I'm so happy BamBam is feeling better!
  14. Another happy customer here. I use the shampoo, conditioner, lotion, bar soaps and the liquid castile soap. My mom washed her hands at my house a few weeks ago with the liquid soap and loved it...she even asked me where I got it. I love the bar soaps...before this I used Cetaphil, I like these much better. I use the classic or premium bars. I've tried...
  15. I'll risk posting, lol. I voted not until I get more information, although probably should have voted NO WAY. I did a quite stupid thing last week while visiting Disneyland. The bruhaha had all just started when I left on my trip. While in Disneyland I noticed McDonald's fries stands. I'm thinking, well the formula hasn't changed and I eat other fast...
  16. Yes! That's how I feel too!
  17. You're welcome! I feel my $400 was money well spent. I had been on a low carb diet for about 2 years so I doubt the standard blood tests and biopsies would have shown much. I'd been gluten free for a few weeks before I sent for my Enterolab tests. Their website says you can be gluten-free for up to a year I believe.
  18. I don't know if it's an allergy--it didn't show up on my allergy tests a couple of years ago--but I think I definitely don't tolerate it...it's one of the things I'm exploring right now. Seems that every time I eat something or drink soymilk I feel really bad.
  19. I'd say it's expensive, I got almost all the tests so it cost around $400 with shipping. It definitely told me I was intolerant and since I also bought the gene testing as well, it told me I have one of the main genes associated with Celiac...that was enough for me. That cemented in my mind that I can never eat gluten again without suffering the consequences...
  20. No you're not confusing me, lol. All I can say is I HOPE we can be somewhat normal again.
  21. I've been taking probiotics for a couple of years now, but I have to say I've never really noticed that they "do" anything. I've been on so many rounds of antibiotics that I just continually take the good stuff too just to repopulate my gut. I was taking NOW brand, but it didn't state specifically on the label that it was dairy free so I recently switched...
  22. I'm going to Disneyland on Sunday and this is what I plan to take to keep in the room: Trail mix (homemade) that contains dried cranberries, nuts (mixture of salted and unsalted), gluten-free/casein-free chocolate chips, coconut Lara Bars Bumble Bars Peanut Butter Possibly some tuna
  23. I just wanted to say welcome. I don't have children so can't offer advice in that area, but just wanted to assure you that while it seems overwhelming right now, eventually some of this will become second nature to you.
  24. Sort of...don't get the chills though, but I've been feeling nauseated for a little over a month now...here's another thread discussing it: Open Original Shared Link
