    Fabulous! So glad for you. I hope we all get to that "happy place". Your accomplishment give us all hope, and even more to look forward to than ever!

    That gives me an idea: Suppose you use a mini ice cream scoop to carve out pieces of various melons - watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew, etc. Arrange them along with seedless grapes, cubed peaches, etc, or fruit cocktail. Also put in cubes of different colors of jello, all on a bed of whipped topping or pudding/custard. That should be very colorful and...

    The suggestion of garlic is a good one, though crushed would definitely be better than whole. If you can handle it raw, all the better. When I wanted to get rid of the yeasty beasties (candida), what I did besides avoiding sugars, yeasts, vinegars, and fruits, was to take caprylic acid capsules. Caprylic acid is a natural component of coconut oil, which...

    One thing I know works for sure is magnesium. Try the magnesium citrate powder, like in a glass of orange juice. Start with the suggested dose on the label, and work your way up to the amount which is comfortable for you. The acidic juice magnifies absorption, hence the effectiveness. Magnesium draws water to the intestinal tract.

    Yes, buckwheat is a good one. I like the roasted buckwheat best, which is often referred to as Kasha. It really is tasty. Another good one is Amaranth, which is quite nutritious. Just 1/4 cup has as much protein as an egg, lots of fiber, and various other minerals and stuff. It cooks up sorta like grits or cream of rice. Millet is good too, and so is sorghum...

    WOW! That's a lot of ingredients for peanut butter! The ones I get have just two ingredients: Peanuts, and salt.

    I kinda know what you mean, as I've resorted to use my gluten-free shampoo for laundry soap. Even the detergents which are known to be gluten-free generally have all sorts of stuff that I seem to react to. Forget dryer sheets - I'll take a few static-electric shocks over getting sick for days on end. Anyway, here are some companies that do make some decent...

    ARCHIVED Diarrhea

    RiceGuy replied to Kritter's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    That is quite possible, since intestinal healing is expected, as is better nutrient absorption. So before taking the calcium (which I agree with if you need it), try skipping or reducing the magnesium. From my experience, I'd say about two days should tell you plenty.

    That is apparently the opinion of the doctor Kaycee quoted. Either way, the same rules apply:avoid gluten, get your nutrients, etc. When I hear the word "neurological" it makes me think of doctors who like to prescribe drugs for everything. It is those who seem to want to ignore diet completely. Personally I wouldn't worry, as you not only know what caused...

    Just a little note: Paprika is from a type of pepper, which also means curry powder contains a nightshade too. Phyllis28: I didn't have any trouble with nightshades (that I know of) until going gluten-free. I suppose it was just a slow progression, accompanied by the fact that I increased my consumption of potatoes when gluten-free.

    Well, I'm sure you know by now that the tests are notoriously unreliable for small children. Not to be discouraging, but all I can add here is to consider what you would do if the tests come back negative. I think I can guess. But if you want a doctor's diagnosis, now seems to be the time to get it done, if the results can be accurate. Again, I'm sure you...

    As missy'smom indicated, it would be helpful to know what sort of things you'll have available for preparing meals. I have found a blender to be one of my most valuable tools for making all sorts of meals.

    I've read the same can happen from nerve damage, but either way I'd recommend methylcobalamin (B12). Magnesium also helped me tremendously with muscle and nerve pain. That and avoiding all nightshades, as they have a muscle toxin. This is not to say it wasn't from gluten alone, but I suppose implementing other measures might help increase tolerance/reduce...
  14. RiceGuy
    What worked best for me was methylcobalamin (B12) and magnesium. I've read that the body can store B12 for upwards of twenty years, so a deficiency wouldn't show immediately if you have a reserve.

    ARCHIVED Diarrhea

    RiceGuy replied to Kritter's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Ah, that might explain it. Yes, magnesium can get your digestive system moving too much if you take excessive magnesium. It just depends on how much you're taking, and of course how much you need. Calcium can work to offset the absorption of magnesium. Here's another article you may find interesting: Open Original Shared Link

    ARCHIVED Diarrhea

    RiceGuy replied to Kritter's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Yeah, happened to me too, only it was around six months after going gluten-free. It also lasted about six months too. I've read that insoluble fiber can induce D if you get too much. Slightly Open Original Shared Link might help, though if the body wants to purge itself, I'd say let it do what it needs to do.

    I also found nightshades to cause me tremendous pains. Cutting them out helped, but still it wasn't enough. I got total relief from pain once I started taking methylcobalamin (B12) and magnesium. As a replacement for potatoes, try taro. It is a root vegetable, with a white flesh similar to potato. The taste is quite similar too, only I'd say better! Slightly...

    There's a recent thread about milk containing gluten, so that makes me suspect that beef can too. Most (if not all) of the animals on large beef farms are fed wheat as part of their diet.
  19. RiceGuy
    I found it is the GMO corn which bothers me most, but leg, hip and other bone pain was something I got from nightshades. There was a lot of damage before I figured it all out, and just avoiding the foods wasn't enough. I got tremendous benefits from methylcobalamin (B12) and magnesium. Thankfully, organic non-GMO corn doesn't seem to bother me.

    As was stated, coconut oil is very healthy. Great for all sorts of thing too, including the skin, hair, and nails. However, a skinny person doesn't necessarily need more fatty tissue on them. Muscle does weigh more than fat, so I'd be thinking of ways to improve nutrient absorption, especially proteins. Also bone health will obviously effect weight. Just...

    If it turns out that you can't eat potatoes, you can try taro. It is a root vegetable, with nearly the same white fleshy inside as a potato. I actually like the taste even better - it is slightly sweeter, with a hint of something similar to water chestnut. Use it in all the same recipes as potato. Mashed, fried, baked, etc. I've even made chips, which turned...

    Right. Consider these facts: The drug companies are the ones keeping medical journals in business, through advertising. And just like TV networks, the editors don't want to lose sponsors by promoting good health, herbs, natural stuff, etc. The doctors rely on this info to keep informed, so all their info is thus influenced by drug companies. The...

    Well, I don't know how familiar your doctor is with DH or Celiac, but it sounds like DH to me. Did the rash areas itch, and have tiny little "peaks" on them? Sorta like a mini pimple? Welcome to the board!

    As I recall, many custards use egg yokes. So does traditional eggnog. I guess you could also put some in with whole eggs when making French toast, crepes, scrambled eggs, etc, and it would be like having double yokes.
  25. RiceGuy
    As far as my experience goes, completely curing is certainly possible. I actually learned of intestinal yeast overgrowth before discovering the whole gluten thing. Interesting scotty, that you called it the beast, as that was my term for it too! Anyway, what I did to get rid of the yeasty beasties, was to first eliminate all sources of sugar, yeasts...
