    Right, let's not. I never mentioned the candida diet anyway. But I can speak from personal experience, that the condition of yeast overgrowth can certainly occur. I have to agree that some of the dietary restrictions being suggested for dealing with the yeasties doesn't seem reasonable to me. Especially since I was successful in getting rid of the problem...

    I didn't get that info about heartburn/ACV from Wiki. I can only say what many report, and the reasons given for why something works or not. Yes, the stomach is supposed to be quite acidic. In fact, I once heard that the acid of the stomach is so strong, it can dissolve the flesh off a human hand in about 3 minutes. However, I must point out that ACV...

    Typically, you can safely take the amounts suggested on the label for any given nutritional supplement without worry of overdose. Many can be taken at some multiple of the suggested dosage before it would be an overdose. In fact, many on this board have found it necessary to take amounts far in excess of the usual recommendations. When there is malabsorption...

    I don't know about the antibody levels and such, but I'm confident someone will be able to shed some light on it. As for CC, that can be tricky. Perhaps if you post the foods you usually eat, someone will know how they are regarding CC. My only other thought, is that perhaps you're sensitive to some other food, like dairy, soy, etc. If you rule out...

    Many on this board report that CC will give them problems for a number of days, so you may still be feeling the effects from those contaminated items (if indeed they where). Well, from the diet you described, I'd highly recommend some changes there. Do you eat fresh veggies? Since peanuts are somewhat tougher to digest, I think I'd avoid that for now....

    First, how long have you been gluten-free? It can take some time for things to heal. Some of the common effects of Celiac include neurological problems. So your anxiety may be heightened or caused by gluten. Same with the eating disorder. It would not surprise me if both these issues resolved on a gluten-free diet. However, given the diet you outlined...

    Sweet rice flour (also known as sweet white rice flour) is different than ordinary white or brown rice flour. It is made from sweet white rice, often referred to as Open Original Shared Link. It is more starchy, and thus more suited for use as a thickener. It is available on the Open Original Shared Link website, and many other on line shops. You should...

    Not to stray off-topic, but... Just to expound on what Crimson mentioned, Apple Cider Vinegar has reportedly cured a lot of people of heartburn. Apparently, the burning sensation can be caused by low stomach acid, and the ACV helps the stomach to right itself. The ACV must be Raw, Unfiltered, and Unpasteurized. A search will bring up a lot of info and...

    OK, while I don't usually go overboard with the goitrogenic avoidance thing, I'll just point out that beans and strawberries are said to have goitrogenic compounds. Supposedly corn does too, but not every list of such foods shows that. Tapioca is supposed to be as well, and it is in a lot of gluten-free baked goods. Perhaps these articles will be of some...

    As I understand it, magnesium is also needed for calcium to make it into bone. Also, calcium and magnesium compete for absorption, so a lot of one can lead to a deficiency in the other. That's why many supplements have both. NOW Foods makes a powdered Cal/Mag supplement, with vitamin D. There are no fillers, binders, or other ingredients, and is listed...

    As an alternative to canned refried beans, or going through the trouble of making them from scratch, I wonder if Open Original Shared Link would work. Some of the others on that page look interesting too.
  12. RiceGuy
    My only thought is that many who are just starting out on the gluten-free diet have problems when they try to adopt too many gluten-free processed foods. It is often advised to start simple, to give the body time to heal. Plain veggies, fruits, legumes, meats, etc. Avoiding all those carb-rich gluten-free prepackaged breads, high sugar foods, etc can make...

    I've used sweet rice flour for thickening, and it works well. Just like cornstarch, mix it with water before adding to hot liquids. Arrowroot is also good for thickening, though more expensive. Potato starch can also be used.
  14. RiceGuy
    In my research and experience, it is no fluke that the magnesium helps. I'm so glad you're feeling better!
  15. RiceGuy
    Cooking does lessen the goitrogenic effects, as was mentioned. However, to what degree I don't know. I have briefly looked for a list, but didn't find anything. It seems most goitrogen food lists are just that, and the people posting them seem to feel that they want to completely avoid them like a Celiac avoids gluten (well, maybe not that much). I would...

    It also took six months before I noticed anything much, but far longer for actual improvements. As with many on this board, I found certain sensitivities increased after going gluten-free, and have had to modify my diet several times. Now, slowly, I am starting to be able to add some things. I think the time it takes depends on how long the damage has...
  17. RiceGuy
    I agree with what has already been said. It does sound like Celiac is a possibility. As for the recipes, there are always discussions of such on this board, so a search should bring up plenty. And of course, ask any questions you may have. Incidentally, the best tests available are often falsely negative. So no matter what any test results say, it is always...

    I think it would be easier to list the foods to avoid, rather than ones which you can eat, because most things should be just fine for you. Check here for a list of goitrogenic foods: Open Original Shared Link Although many foods have some amount of goitrogens, it seems like a bad idea to me to try and avoid everything with even a slight goitrogenic...

    So glad you're doing better! That is wonderful news, and your encouraging words will help others who also struggle.

    From what I've read, once you develop DH, it never completely goes away. However, the occurrence of breakouts is apparently expected to be fairly minimal for most people who adhere to a 100% gluten-free diet. Some may find it necessary to use medication I suppose. Still, I'd suspect there may be some CC, based on your description. Have you checked shampoos...
  21. RiceGuy
    From the many posts about this, it seems DH can manifest differently depending on the person. Also, there apparently are many who experience breakouts of various sorts, which although may not be DH, are still connected with gluten. What are the ingredients in the chocolate bar?
  22. RiceGuy
    From what I've read, many people actually have heartburn because of insufficient stomach acid, not too much acid. Sure, it goes against what seems logical, but you may want to look into it. Just search for Apple Cider Vinegar, and you'll see what I mean. It must be Raw, Unfiltered, and Unpasteurized. Your search will also lead you to recommendations on usage...

    My thoughts are as follows. It is nearly impossible to avoid getting shampoo into one or more orifices. Can you count the number of times you've tasted shampoo in your mouth while washing your hair? Happens to me all the time. That's all it would take, so gluten-free shampoo seems necessary. Powdery cosmetics easily get wafted up into the air, at which...

    Yes, ridges and other nail malformations are true indicators of nutritional deficiencies. Also, blood tests don't always give an accurate picture of nutrient levels. I read someplace, that the body will basically rob organs and various tissues of B12 in order to maintain levels in the blood. If that's true, then by the time a B12 deficiency shows up on a...

    I don't think we're discussing fingerprints in particular. Rather, the straight lines which seem to present themselves in that area of the fingers. They may or may not interfere with taking a print, but that's besides the point. I also cannot overlook the fact that the lines I used to always have, are now gone. There's no pseudoscience involved in that...
