    I suppose in the case of breads, I wouldn't expect xanthan gum to be used for wheat-based breads, but that doesn't mean it won't be. However, one should never draw any conclusions based on the presence of xanthan in any product. If you're reading the label to find the xanthan, you should find the gluten-containing ingredients too. Many other types of products...

    No, it is most certainly not safe! Another member (I don't recall who it was) gave the example of dog poop. Imagine that there was dog poop on the burger. Would you try to wipe it off and eat the burger? There's really no way to remove it all.

    As I understand it, they are allowed to get away with it because they didn't add the MSG to the yeast. It's like when a company adds beef, they don't have to declare the antibiotics or hormones that the cows were given. I read some of the FDA rules, and it basically reads like an intensional loophole. However, an additional problem is that the yeast are...

    OK. That's fine. It doesn't all hinge on mercola, not by a long shot. Like I said, there are a ton of articles to choose from. And, the YouTube video is a news report, from an actual reporter of an actual television station, who interviewed actual scientists and experts. The other sites detail bunches of documents, scientific studies done by credible researchers...

    Well, looking at what you've listed, I'd say you should try to eat more veggies. In fact, the only veggie you mentioned is tomato. Bananas are known to be relatively difficult to digest, compared to many other fruits and veggies, and it looks like you eat a lot of them. As for the dairy, many do find it very helpful, even imperative, to avoid all dairy...

    Wow. Are you sure? If you Google "aspartame thyroid", you'll see that it does indeed have a negative effect on the thyroid. Either directly or indirectly, the relationship is clear. That person you mentioned isn't the only one to write about the dangers of aspartame. Far from it, in fact. Just one Google search revealed well over 200,000 articles....

    The supplements mentioned by ravenwoodglass would be a good first step. Just make sure they're gluten-free. Dairy is often problematic at first, so you may need to avoid that for a while. Some people are able to add it back into their diets once they've healed, while others aren't. In fact, you may want to avoid most or all the top allergens for the time...

    I'm sorry to hear that you use aspartame, as it has been confirmed as a neurotoxin. Can't cook with it either, as it breaks down into other toxic stuff. This has been known even before it was put on the market. It is amazing what companies will do to sell a product, which is why it is so important to research things yourself. Just Google "aspartame neurotoxin...

    Both paprika and cayenne are made from types of peppers, also in the nightshade family. Most types of curry powder have one or more nightshades as well, such as chilies, red pepper, paprika, and/or cayenne. For instance, McCormick's curry powder has the following ingredients: coriander, fenugreek, turmeric, cumin, black pepper, bay leaves, celery seed, nutmeg...

    I've had instances where I'd see something in my dream that looked different than everything else in the dream, and would remain in view while the dream scenes changed. The image would eventually become clearer, as I focused on it, trying to figure it out. After a while I'd wake up, and the rest of the image would become clear. Turns out, my eyes were opening...

    I have my doubts that the tapioca and teff combo would work in place of the coconut flour. Tapioca is all carbs and no fiber, while coconut is high in fiber, and relatively low in carbs. So I'd guess the texture would be very different, if nothing else. The suggestion of almond flour may work, but not having used it very much, I really can't offer any...

    I don't know why you couldn't open the link. It works fine for me. Perhaps your browser is preventing it for some reason. If you have a popup blocker, that might be doing it, since all links on the forum open in a new browser window. Try copying the link, and pasting it into the location bar. Here is the plain link: Open Original Shared Link There are...

    I also had swollen hands and feet for awhile, and read it can happen from poor digestion of proteins. So I reduced protein intake, and it went away. I've since been able to increase the amount of protein back up to normal without a problem. The swelling coincided with the ravenous appetite, and both seemed to have diminished at the same time, though slowly...

    Are you sure you didn't get glutened by the bread machine itself? But from this and other discussions about bread machines, I'm guessing bread machines have their own pan? Can you use your own pan, or are you stuck with whatever comes with it?

    Thanks silk, for posting the ingredients! Caraway is what gives rye bread its distinctive flavor, and it's one of my favorite things to put in bread. Now all I have to do is figure out how to replace the corn, tapioca, and potato Actually, their website is www.garbofood.se, but they haven't put up much info on their products.

    As far as I know, candida doesn't feed off of sugar-alcohols, so I'd think the sublingual is ok in that regard. The natural cherry flavor is likely an extract, and I'd doubt there's much if any sugar in it. You'd probably get more sugar from a number of veggies. Since you haven't mentioned taking any anti-candida supplements, I'll recommend Open Original...

    The powders or liquids might be OK to mix into some foods, but it depends. You can get magnesium citrate powder, but it has a citrus taste, obviously, so I don't suggest that for most foods. I haven't tried the liquid ones, so I don't know what they taste like. Magnesium carbonate is fairly neutral in taste, and blends ok into moist foods unless you use a...

    Though nothing really tastes like tomatoes, you can get some of the properties with the right combination of ingredients. Carrots and beets pureed together in a blender actually make a very red sauce. Add citric and ascorbic acid, and you'll have the basis for Nomato. The Nomato sauce ingredients are basically: Carrots, water, beets, onion, lemon juice...

    Well, I know that leaky gut allows more of the toxins from candida into the bloodstream, so in that way I suppose being glutened might make you feel more of the candida effects. However, since many symptoms of the two seem to overlap, I don't know how one could be sure without some very comprehensive testing. Also, anytime your immune system is weakened...

    To remove glue, I always reach for something oily. It works best if it is thick enough not to run off. Coconut oil works great, as do some hand creams. For large amounts, it will probably need to sit for a little while to soften up the glue. The thicker oils are better for that because they don't drip. On flat surfaces, you can use vegetable oil, but on curved...

    I prefer the pure Stevia powder, made by Stevita. Unlike other brands, it doesn't come from China, nor is it bleached. The pure powder doesn't contain anything else - no fillers or anything. This means it is intensely sweet, thus does not measure like sugar. From what I've read, erythritol is usually made from corn, as is xylitol. As for the ragweed...
  22. RiceGuy
    That is very interesting! I shall definitely look on the diabetes boards to find out what it is that makes them decide not to use it. Everything I've read - and I mean everything - suggests that Stevia is the perfect sweetener for a diabetic (and everyone else).

    I suppose you could keep your eyes closed for a few extra minutes when you first wake up. Do you use an alarm clock to wake you?

    While I haven't an answer for you, I do know many acidophilus supplements contain milk. Might that be worsening things, or elevating your Ttg? Other than that, I'd suspect CC. If everything is really gluten-free, then what about the glue used on boxed items (on the flaps), stickers, something at work perhaps? Laundry detergent/softener? It's obviously...

    Funny, I was just thinking about this recently, while preparing some apples to make a pie. There were stickers on them, so I was careful to really wash them well - before peeling. I use soap in cases like this, and for oranges, lemons, etc. The lower the chances of any glue getting on the peeled fruit, the better. I don't know what sort of glue they use,...
