    Well, firstly I haven't had such chronic heartburn, so what I know on the subject is from reading only. Besides the obvious things that can help with heartburn, like certain nutrients, there are some lesser known remedies that seem to help many people in this area. One I've read about is apple cider vinegar. Yeah, I know, it sounds like it would make heartburn...

    Well, although I think it could be candida, it doesn't necessarily have to be. To be on the safe side though, it wouldn't hurt to take caprylic acid capsules for awhile and see how you feel. It is also wise to avoid yeasts, sugars, and vinegars, and limit or avoid fruits. Also, take a close look at what you've been eating lately, as it seems like something...

    Welcome to the board! First, I think you're doing the right thing by wanting to eliminate all gluten. If your daughter has a sensitivity, it doesn't make sense to have any in the diet at all. Also, keep in mind that all the tests doctors rely on are not nearly as accurate as the diet can be in determining if gluten is a problem. If she improves on a gluten...

    I used to have an incessantly itchy back, but it has gone away since gluten-free. There was never a rash. I have gotten itchy arms a few times, which I determined was from ground celery seed. The whole celery seed doesn't do it, and I read the ground product is not always from the seeds of "table celery". A sensitivity to things like nightshades can do...

    For a hot cereal, I like Kasha (roasted buckwheat), and also amaranth. Kasha cooks in about 15 mins, and has a smooth consistency. Amaranth cooks in about 25 mins, and is similar in texture to hominy grits or cream of rice/wheat. 1/4 cup Amaranth: Dietary Fiber 7.4g Protein 7g 1/4 cup Kasha: Dietary Fiber 4.2g Protein 4.8g You can also get a...

    After researching colon cleanser products, I reached the conclusion that every one I found which uses fiber (such as psyllium) is basically a scam. The only thing they clean is your wallet. When I looked at the ingredients, it turns out that the regimen typically involves a bunch of herbal laxatives, followed by a bunch of fiber. The trick is that most people...

    While I have not had thyroid issues (that I know of), I have run into info on the subject from time to time. Two things which come to mind are coconut oil, and a zinc picolinate supplement. Coconut oil is great for skin, hair, and nails. Plus it helps to raise thyroid function because it is so easily burned for energy. A zinc deficiency seems to be associated...

    Tingling and weakness I did have quite often, if not constantly. I was also finding it difficult to hang on to things, keeping my balance, and various other issues. But keep in mind that the symptoms can vary so widely from person to person, that more likely than not, there will be some differences, even for the same cause(s). Anyway, the supplements I...

    I've read that if the biopsy is taken on a rash spot, the results will likely be inconclusive. Apparently it needs to be near one, but not on it, to be most accurate.

    For those who want a natural, safe sweetener, I'd recommend Stevia, in the pure powdered form. I've found Stevita brand's Simply-Stevia product to be the best. Be careful of the cheaper ones, as they use fillers and other things (not to mention they come from China).

    I do believe you'll need to use a blend of flours, not just rice flour. Also don't forget the binders, meaning guar or xanthan gum. I find buckwheat flour works nicely in muffins, though again a blend always seems to work best. If you aren't adding milk or other acidic ingredients, you can leave out the baking soda. Usually it is only added to neutralize...

    I agree with the flavor aspect. I sometimes like adding caraway seeds to the recipe, which is the distinctive flavor rye bread is known for (besides the rye). Minced onion goes well with this too IMO.

    I was in so much pain that there was no such thing as feeling good. I figure I had a very drastic deficiency. As for how much B12 to take, the research indicates about 5-6 mg is all the body can absorb in one day, with approximately 3 mg being the most efficient. Therefore I take 1 mg, three times daily, spaced as far apart as possible. The methylcobalamin...

    When I first went gluten-free, I could not eat enough! I was always hungry, even after stuffing myself to the point that I felt like one more bite and I'd be choking. Even then, I still felt hungry somehow, and it was certainly frustrating. Thankfully it subsided, and I'm now eating what seem like proper amounts. Based on that I'd say give it time, but...

    That was me! I would frequently get red ears, and of course nobody knew why. So yes, I'd say it is an indicator, perhaps of immune response if nothing else.

    I agree with lowering the amount of water and/or less rise-time. Thus far, I find my breads can fall slightly if they rise more than around twice the original height, maybe a bit more. It does depend on the recipe though, so keep in mind that my breads are more hearty, thus not high in starchy flours. I presume a more starchy dough would be able to rise more...

    I had such symptoms until I started taking sublingual methylcobalamin (B12) and magnesium. I cannot say enough about how well they work. Both are critical for muscle and nerve function too, so it makes sense. I'm sure others will be able to offer their experiences too. I hope you feel better soon!

    Depending on how long you've been gluten-free, the headaches may be a result of damage from gluten. If so they should subside as you continue being gluten-free. However, do watch out for other intolerances, such as dairy, eggs, meat, corn, soy, peanuts, nightshades, etc. These are just some of the most common allergenic foods. It is highly recommended to...

    There doesn't seem to be one single flour that will yield a decent bread. They should be used in combination. I use millet flour as one of many. IMO it is much more preferable than rice flour for both texture and taste. The question is, what sort of bread are you looking to make? I mean, if you want something like "white bread", that would commonly be...

    Some say it can take 6 weeks. Others say it can take far longer. Thing is, it will have to cause enough damage to show up in the biopsy, and of course they have to check the right area to see the damage. However, if you can be sure that your doctor will give a diagnosis based only on blood work, it might take less time since it would be a matter of detecting...

    Well, depending on the other ingredients you use, you may be able to just leave that out. However, if you want it there for texture, taste, or nutrient content, there are many things which might work well. Some things which come to mind for texture are ground flax, ground t'eff (or flour), ground Kasha (buckwheat), brown rice cereal, or ground chia seeds...

    No, let's not call several hundred thousand reports to the FDA a conspiracy theory. Besides, it isn't glutamic acid itself which is the culprit, but rather Free Glutamic Acid. This is when it is not bound up in other compounds. That's when it goes straight into the brain and overstimulates - even kills - nerve receptors. It is a known neurotoxin. But even...

    RiceGuy replied to fedora's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut

    I read a number of articles which indicated that the human body doesn't absorb more than about 5-6mg of B12 per day, with approximately 3mg being the most efficient. So I take 3mg of B12 per day, in three doses, allowing as much time in between each as I can. There has never been any level of B12 found to be toxic, so there's no known risk of overdose. Take...

    Ah, you're right! I had forgotten, but just dug through my emails for the response from the company, and confirmed it. Well, there is another one I think was called Mother's something or other, but I don't recall the ingredients in that one, accept that it had trans fat. It was also a stick margarine. I can't stand any of the garbage in tubs. Personally...
