    Shirley - just an idea - have you ever tried eliminating eggs to see if it helps your gallbladder? I've heard and read that it can help. Autumn - good job on not cheating! I worked all day today, which meant teaching 8 PE classes, coaching a basketball game after school (we won again!) and then came home and cooked dinner. After that I collapsed into...

    Hi everyone! Hope you're having a good week! So, here I am two days into being "good". (Mayflower - believe me, I KNOW how to eat right and lose weight. It's just the DOING it that's hard. Cutting carbs is definitely a good thing for me.) B - 1 chicken tenderloin (not breaded or anything) L - about 3 oz chicken breast, stir-fried with onions...

    Yikes! We have a $1500 max each year. I don't think I have 11 amalgams left though. This will be spread out over several years if it's this expensive. Good thing I'm not so sick I feel desperate.

    Thanks! I'm at work, so I'll check this out tonight. Any information you can give me will be much appreciated!

    Thanks Noglugirl and all the others who responded! I've been told in the past to leave my fillings and just have them replaced as needed - that removing them would cause more mercury to leach into my system than I'm getting now. I haven't had a cavity since changing my diet almost 11 years ago, so I'm thinking my last amalgam filling was somewhere between...

    I'm sorry to butt in here, but I've been reading some of your posts about mercury. I have a mouth full of silver fillings and a lot of the mercury symptoms fit me. I started getting fillings in my teeth when I was like 5 or 6 because my enamel didn't form right. Going gluten-free and everything else free has made a huge improvement in my health, but there...

    I weighed myself this morning after all and I have stayed the same. I'm still down one pound since we started this. Oh well, it's better than gaining. I've decided that I need to get SERIOUS about this. I think I will allow myself to have a treat on Saturdays, that way I can tell myself during the week that it's not all deprivation. I gave myself...

    Nightshades are tomatoes, potatoes, peppers and eggplant. There might be some others, but this is what I'm familiar with and had to avoid for a while. If you show negative on your test, there really isn't another mainstream test for gluten intolerance. The best test is a diet trial - if you feel better of gluten and other foods, you'll know you're...

    I've been afraid to weigh myself, but I did manage to get into a pair of pants this morning that was a bit too tight a couple of weeks ago. It must be all the running, walking, working out and stair climbing I've been doing lately. Shirley - I don't usually feel tall, but I can reach all the cupboards. My 15 yo daughter is also 5'1 1/2 - not sure where...

    My worst symptom was joint pain. It was really bad in my hands, feet and knees, but I also had it in my shoulders, back, elbows and hips. I had the other symptoms you described too. I had some amount of relief in 5 days and felt pretty much back to normal in 8 months. I don't have Celiac Disease though - just gluten intolerance. I was told that I was...

    Isn't the kidney biopsy fun . I try not to laugh when people on here are afraid of the endoscopy and biopsy (I've never had it, so I never say anything). It seems like a piece of cake compared to the kidney biopsy. The nephrologist, for some reason, showed me the needle - looked more like a giant turkey baster. Luckily the medication had started to kick...

    I need to lose about 20 pounds, but would like to lose 31. (This would get me down to what my driver's license says. I actually did weigh that much when I got my license renewed a LONG time ago.) I'm a size 12 right now and am 5'7, so I'm not obese, but I'm definitely on the heavy side. I have an athletic frame and can "hide" weight well, but I'm to the...

    Happy Birthday Patti! I hope you're having a wonderful day!

    Rice Addict and Violet Blue - thanks for sharing. I think that gluten intolerance is involved in a lot of problems/diseases that are considered incurable or idiopathic. I hope you both continue to improve. Rice Addict - I did read your post a few weeks ago. It seems like you were having problems with the diet meshing with the kidney diet and your diabetes...

    Shirley - is your husband gluten-free too? I had debilitating Psoriatic Arthritis at age 32 and it went away when I eliminated wheat/gluten, dairy, eggs and soy from my diet. I'm supposed to be in a wheelchair! Ha ha, the joke is on the doctors. Seriously though, my joint pain started coming back when I started eating gluten grains (not even wheat) and...

    I agree with Patti (Jerseyangel). I've never cooked noodles longer than 5-6 minutes. Even the dry packaged noodles don't need to boil that long.

    It's nice to see you all back, Shannon, Autumn and Diana! Shannon, it does sound like you should go see the doctor. Diana - at least you've lost those pounds back! Yes, getting older is frustrating - darn these metabolisms! Autumn - so glad you're feeling better and back on track. Maybe you'll get lucky and keep those 6 pounds off! Yes...

    I have a different view, not meaning to start an argument. Celiac Disease is where the autoimmune reaction is in the intestinal tract and the villi are damaged significantly. There can be other autoimmune reactions too, like thyroid problems, arthritis, skin issues, etc. With gluten sensitivity, the intestinal tract isn't damaged in the same way, but there...

    Richard beat me to it. I have psoriasis and it's just like this in my scalp. Unfortunately, it hasn't gone away by going gluten-free (or egg-free, dairy-free or soy-free). Cortisone cream should be helpful and you could also ask to try some Dovonex - it's a prescription Vitamin D cream.

    I know that some of you are dog experts. How poisonous is chocolate for dogs? I would NEVER allow Buddy to have chocolate, but he somehow managed to get two packs of Junior Mints off the back of the counter while no one was watching and eat them. The ripped packages on the family room floor served as conclusive evidence. I know he's not going to die,...

    There's no way I could pull off "knowing" without being caught. The people who didn't make it were too much of a surprise. I think Nicole was the only one that anyone really guessed. My kids never would have bought it. Let's try again next week! BTW - how did Rudy get voted off? He was one of my top 4 favorites for the guys. And there was one very...

    Shirley - K-Toos are like Oreos. They're made by Kinnikinnick and they're really yummy. I'd never even heard of the vanilla ones until yesterday. The chocolate ones are great. I see you like peanut butter and banana sandwiches too! I used to eat those all the time. Now, I pretty much stick with almond butter, but I should make one soon. I still...

    THANK YOU!!! You can disregard my PM now. I'm just feeling a little silly, please excuse me.

    Anyone?
