    Oh, ok. Yes, they are fairly high in Omega-3s. Though as I recall, the last time I checked, flax was considerably cheaper, so that you'd be able to get more O-3s for your money with flax anyway. Prices do change all the time though, so just like flax, I'm sure chia will be more cost effective over time. Either way, since O-3s are highly unstable, the best...

    The usual advice when taking caprylic acid or other candida killers is to start slowly. Apparently because the die-off can mean a lot of toxins getting released all at once, and can make you sick until the body disposes of them. So perhaps that's what's happening. When you start again, please let us know how it goes, either way. BTW, which fruits are...

    I don't know if blood sugar could have that effect, so I hope others can help you with that. However, my first impression is a candida overgrowth. I can tell you, it DOES effect a person's mood, personality, temperament, etc. Blood sugar fluctuations do effect candida, as does acidity, and so many other things. Even the sensitivity to light and noise....

    This is an interesting topic, and something I've never heard of before. I am wondering if the kinds of oil that work can be determined by their fatty acid and/or antioxidant profile. Here's a chart of fatty acid composition for many common oils: Open Original Shared Link

    ARCHIVED Dehydration

    RiceGuy replied to minton's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    I've really had to concentrate on electrolytes, such as potassium and sodium. Otherwise I'm just constantly thirsty. Avoiding certain foods has helped a lot too. It has taken a lot of trial and error to figure out what to avoid and what to eat.

    For me it also took magnesium along with the B12. It really is amazing what nutrients can do, when you find the ones you need. MELINE, I know that you are also dealing with candida, and that will be a continuous load on your entire body. The yeast robs you of nutrients, and releases toxic compounds into the bloodstream. I'm sure this is playing a part...

    Please don't be fooled by all the hype. It's just chia seed. Despite the claims, you can actually get loads more nutrients from one cup of ordinary garden green peas, than from one serving (two tbsp) or chia seeds. The deception is in the density of the nutrients. While they do have a lot of nutrients for their size, it's not something you can really fill...

    I don't think there should be severe pain of any sort. Perhaps a bit of mild discomfort, like feeling a little off, maybe even slight nausea, but this shouldn't last long. What are the other ingredients in the supplements you're taking? Might there be any newly introduced foods in your diet?

    Oh! Those girl scout samoa cookies were the ones I liked. One of these days I'm gonna make 'em gluten-free, and dairy-free/sugar-free too. About the pita bread - that one's easy. I've made it several times, only it was never my intention Now I just have to recall what it was I did...I'll post the recipe once I remember...

    I just Googled it, and it seems there is a link between Amitiza and anxiety. Incidentally, have you tried magnesium citrate instead? As for the anxiety, if you can't avoid the drugs, then I'd highly recommend a sublingual methylcobalamin (vitamin B12). Take at least 5mg per day, but since it has no known level of overdose, you may take all you want...

    Coconut oil is great for the skin. You could apply it directly, but even better, use it in place of all butter/margarine, and for all cooking and baking. It is solid at room temperature, but melts easier than butter. Tastes fabulous on every food I've used it on or in. You can even make mayonnaise with it. Open Original Shared Link I've ever tasted. Vitamin...

    If you have a local ethnic or Asian market, you may find millet flour there, often labeled as Bajri flour. You can also use sorghum flour, which in Asian stores may be labeled as Jowar, Juwar, or Juvar. Arrowhead Mills makes millet flour, which you should be able to find at most health food stores. It is also sold Open Original Shared Link. My favorite...

    I read someplace that canola is often not tolerated by Celiacs. Other than that, perhaps your digestive system isn't handling the rice very well.

    I believe there is a distinct likelihood that you won't need any medication at all. If you strictly follow the gluten-free diet (and avoid other foods to which you have an intolerance), and take a few supplements, I believe you'll feel much better. I can tell you from my own experience and research, that vitamin B12 and magnesium are vital for all sorts...

    I'm working on a gluten-free licorice recipe, and will be sure to post it once I get it to work. However, it won't be red unless you color it somehow. I figure since gummy candies are made from modified cornstarch, something like licorice can't be too difficult. Maybe, an easy way out would be to melt some gummy candies, and add some licorice root and...

    The first thing that comes to mind, is to make the cake, cut it into two layers, and put the cherry filling in between. The frosting could go on top.

    Yeast in soups and other things which don't have to rise is almost always put there as a way of adding MSG without having to say it on the label. They know people won't want to buy it otherwise. As for yogurt, here's a non-dairy yogurt, made with coconut milk. They also make ice cream. Open Original Shared Link

    I know others have said it already, but hang in there. Sometimes it takes awhile for the body to heal enough for symptoms to diminish. Four days is really nothing compared to what many on this board have experienced. For myself, it was six months gluten-free before much of anything improved at all. I just wish I knew then what I know now about supplements...

    If I was to make a "wish list" of sorts, I suppose one of the items I'd like is a gluten-free version of Triscuits. Generally speaking, I mostly want gluten-free flours and stuff more widely available, and at reasonable prices. But I guess that goes without saying.
  21. RiceGuy
    It does seem surprising that rice cakes would do that, but I suppose it depends on what your intestines are doing with it after breaking down the carbs into sugars. I don't know if the alkalizing supplement making you feel badly is good or not, but when I was taking stuff to get rid of yeast, there was some mild effects from the die-off. Can you list...

    Well, if 6'1" and 150lb is a beanpole, then I must not even cast a shadow Honestly, that doesn't sound all that skinny to me, or maybe I'm just used to being thin... Anyway, in addition to the suggestion of healthy fats, you may find some enzymes and probiotics to be helpful. If you aren't fully digesting your food, that could account for not gaining...

    If you react to corn, then I suppose it could have been the xylitol, xanthan gum, citric acid or a combination thereof. If I'm not mistaken, these things are commonly made from corn. If you are sensitive to MSG, then the carrageenan might have done it, as it is often said to contain MSG. Or, perhaps you are somewhat sensitive to eggs? Perhaps try...

    I'm also sorry that you've had such trouble with doctors. For awhile I did too, and gave up on them some time ago. I think we've all been there to some extent. Many members seem to like Enterolab, which you can apparently use to get some tests done without a doctor. It's also supposed to be much more accurate, and can be done even after going gluten-free...

    One quick dessert type is pudding. Both tapioca and rice pudding are very quick and easy to make. I like making them with fruit juice instead of water, and/or adding fruit to it. Use Stevia instead of sugar, and you have a delicious treat without the usual guilt!
