    It is my understanding, that the sublingual is a better bet, when it comes to getting the nutrients directly into the bloodstream. Simply because swallowing it means you're relying on the absorption of the gut. And malabsorption seems to be one main reason why we take the supplements in the first place. Though obviously, they don't have to be broken down...

    I think it might help to outline what you eat and drink day to day, and what supplements and/or medications you take.

    I've only used the flour, but according to many posts on this board, it seems starches are more interchangeable than flours. I'd have to guess it'll probably work fine, though you may need to tweak something slightly.

    I'm sure there is something to the water/steam idea. When I cover the bowl or pan with foil, and the dough is soft, it does turn dark. It just doesn't get crispy. Chewy, somewhat. But crispy, no. I started avoiding yeast when dealing with candida. It's been awhile now, and I guess I can't be sure if I could safely eat it on a regular basis. However, my...

    Yeah, gimme a good crust anytime! I like your idea of baking more without the pan. That may work! As for other "crusty tips", I think it might be a good idea to put this in its own thread, which I've started here.

    The thing I'm finding trick with gluten-free bread baking, is getting a good crust. I mean, a crispy, crusty texture. Something with "tooth". I especially like this in biscuits. It's a work in progress, and I'm closer than ever. But still not quite there yet. Here's where it stands as of this post: For biscuits, buns, muffins, etc, I use a pyrex bowl,...

    I often wonder, what others consider to be a good biscuit. The ones I grew up with, were hard and crispy on the outside, and that's what I've found difficult to duplicate gluten-free. They had real "tooth". These biscuits were often served with stews, soups, etc, and cut open and spread with butter/margarine. Recently, I found I could get closer to it, by...

    I just checked the manual for the Cuisinart, to see what it says about the size of things it can grind. I was disappointed to see what it says: So I wonder if it will work as well after grinding ten or twenty pounds of grain or beans as it does new. I checked the manual for their Programmable Conical Burr Mill, and it says the same thing.

    I know first-hand that candida can infect far more parts of the body than just the intestines. It may be that treating the candida is the best/quickest way to get relief. If it were me, I'd start the caprylic acid capsules - one per day. Maybe the time of day you choose to take it will help too. Go slowly, and the die-off shouldn't be anywhere near as noticeable...

    I like this idea, much better than what I posted. At the same time as acknowledging that you notice what she's doing, you encourage it. If reverse psychology works on her, she won't want to copy you if it is you who suggests it. If she has the immaturity that it sounds like from your description, it could work. Just make sure she knows you got one for yourself...

    As far as I understand it, the B12 shots are supposed to get around Pernicious Anemia. So if your levels are still low, I'd be surprised if the cause was lack of Intrinsic Factor, since that's to begin the breakdown and absorption of B12 from food. I think the suggestion of checking your folate/folic acid is a good idea, but perhaps for different reasons...

    Well, this is how I'd perceive it. Maybe I'd be way off, but this is what I think. I would guess that she feels upstaged by you. That she has an inferiority complex. Try to keep in mind that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Yeah, I know that doesn't really help, and I have to admit, it would bug me a lot too, seeing someone copy me like that...

    While I cannot answer your question directly, I once found a product at a health store that really changed the way I thought about deodorants. It made the claim, that the odor protection would last from 6 to 14 days! Amazingly, it did! According to the package, the bacteria which cause the odor do not regenerate for several days. So if you truly eradicate...

    Since the starch in sweet potato is different from that of ordinary white potato, I'd think it would behave somewhat differently. However, that's not to say it can't be used. It might just boil down to preference.

    Yes, at least one bowel movement per day is expected. Many experts say a few more is still actually considered normal. When you think about it, if you eat three times a day, going just once means it would have to essentially consist of the total volume of a full day's worth of food. Otherwise, there'd be more going in than going out, and that's obviously...

    You can make almond milk (or rice milk, etc) very quickly and easily. It will also cost less that way, and you'll know what's in it. There are a zillion recipes on the Internet which you can try, but basically you put almonds and water in the blender. Here are some recipes: Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link

    I agree that you should try a gluten-free diet, and see how you feel. You may find relief from symptoms you don't even know you have, until they go away. The hypoglycemia is just one of many problems which can diminish or even completely go away. Please don't think for a moment that all you want is to get rid of the dizziness! If you are Celiac, continuing...

    Yes, DH can occur anyplace on the body, as far as I know. Many on this board report rashes of various sorts, not all of which manifest as "classic" DH. However, when it clears on a gluten-free diet, it seems obvious that it is related. So, in your case I'd say, that it really doesn't matter if it is DH, because going gluten-free seems to be the answer...

    Deficiencies in the vitamins you mentioned - B and D, can exacerbate the joint problems you describe. Some mineral deficiencies can too. If it were me, I'd take a good, strong B-complex, vitamin D3, magnesium, and a separate sublingual methylcobalamin (active form of B12), at least 3mg per day. The last two helped me quite a lot. The difference was seemingly...

    This topic comes up fairly regularly, as there are always new members. Speaking of which, welcome aboard! Yes, it seems there can be reactions to skin/haircare products, cosmetics, etc. For soaps and shampoos, many times the ingredients will have something like barley extract, etc. There are companies who specifically make gluten-free products of this...

    I'd have to guess that most (certainly not all) of us can eat beef or chicken, rice, coconut, flax, some berries, some spices (cinnamon?), and probably a few other things. I've read that millet is one of the least allergenic grains known, but I don't often see it discussed, perhaps partly because most Americans think of millet as something in birdseed. I...

    Ironically, I stopped eating meat before going gluten-free, mostly because it made me feel fatigued, caused dark circles under my eyes, and I just felt sorta blah all over. These are typically what people report feeling before they start eating meat again. I figure my body just couldn't deal with it, because of leaky gut and/or malabsorption. Around the...

    Tinkyada pasta doesn't have any potato in it. I don't think DeBoles does either. I do know that a number of cellophane noodles (bean thread) have potato starch, because it is cheaper, but the 100% mung bean starch ones are also available. I recently began experimenting with a nightshade-free pasta sauce, and it looks, smells, and tastes just like tomato...

    It does sound like your son is having some sort of digestive trouble. I think it would be wise to put your son on a gluten-free diet, and see how he does. Tests are not accurate enough to put such trust in them. But a positive response to the diet would be very telling.

    Fantastic!! Thank you so much for everything! Perhaps now I can finally have a decent buckwheat flour, without the CC! Congrats on your successful baking adventure too!
