    Is there any reason why rice and other gluten-free grains won't also become more costly?

    Well, I know garlic is good for the immune system, but from my experience it is best to be including garlic and other immune boosters in your diet regularly. Once you get sick it's a bit tougher to deal with. One major contributing factor to the spread of the flu is people don't stay home when they are sick. If they did, the rest of us wouldn't likely...

    Yes, you are referring to Open Original Shared Link, more commonly referred to here as DH.

    Just to be thorough here, there are numerous grains which do not contain gluten. For example; Buckwheat, millet, rice, amaranth, t'eff, corn, quinoa, and sorghum. Some people might end up with less fiber or protein when not eating grains I suppose. Unless they add other foods to make up for them of course.

    LOL. I picture a Ninja hurling slices of bread at his opponents. I haven't tried that bread, but maybe they harvest the rice from the petrified forest.

    Although I hadn't ever considered green peas to be a legume, they are categorized as such. Apparently because of the pod. I'm not ready to put them in the same category with lima beans or kidney beans though. (I thoroughly hate lima beans anyway - ugh!) Gee, I never heard that, and I hope it doesn't apply to me. It would be very limiting to my already...

    I think the recommendation to avoid dairy is wise. You can always reintroduce it later and see what happens. But initially the body needs to heal itself, and dairy is often a problem for Celiacs. The only thing I'd add, is once you've talked with your doctor, go gluten-free no matter what they said. Your child will not be deprived of any nutrients. Besides...

    OK, well I think you are correct in saying that you are underweight. Would you say your frame is average or narrow? To judge bone size, consider things like ring size, bracelet size, etc. Any part of the body which is supposed to be fairly bony. It does sound like you've got a decent range of supplements, so I cannot see any large holes in that picture...

    Yes, I did have similar issues with my hands and fingers. Thankfully they seem to be resolved, after starting with magnesium and a sublingual methylcobalamin (B12) supplement. Something tells me "carpel tunnel syndrome" is just as bad a diagnosis as IBS
  10. RiceGuy
    Wait! That will result in public outcry, because it will be considered as cruel and unusual punishment.

    The thing to be careful of with Chreese is that they put MSG in their products. Another dairy free cheese is made by Galaxy Nutritional Foods, but they also use MSG in at least some if not all of their products. Too bad, because they also make a dairy-free, soy-free cheese product. Packaging labels are often deceptive when it comes to MSG. Here's some...

    Suppose you just swallow a tablespoon of vegetable oil and see what happens? If that goes well, then try a tablespoon of mozzarella.

    What worked for me is magnesium. I also started taking a sublingual methylcobalamin (B12), and vitamin D, both of which I believe have been important factors.
  14. RiceGuy
    I guess before I can make any suggestions, it is important to know whether you're low body weight is due to low muscle or low fat, low bone mass, or even low water retention. I suppose my first thing to do would be to look at the average daily intake of the various nutrients responsible for the "bulk" of body weight, and see if they are within normal range...

    I agree with the idea of it being a fun challenge. I have expanded my culinary horizons quite a bit. Now, when I look back, my diet before gluten-free was incredibly limited and unimaginative. So boring in comparison to now. The gluten rut is a deep one. Thanks to this board I not only figured out the whole gluten issue, but now that I know about Stevia...

    Another clue might be that the guilty party had apparently used the bathroom more than once while committing the crime.

    I found magnesium worked wonders an all my body pains. That's about all I can add to that, but dairy intolerance is common, and it is often suggested to eliminate dairy at least for a while. If you get a craving for ice cream, there are companies which make ice creams from coconut oil and other wholesome things. You can also make your own, but that's probably...

    I don't think that the new spot only being on one arm would rule out DH. One thing I've read (and experienced) is that the spots slowly disappear over about a week's time, though new spots can emerge if the triggers are still present. So any given part of the body might have spots for an extended time, but I'd guess the pattern would gradually change. That...

    Well, I'm not a DH expert, but it does look similar to what I had. I'm sure others on the board will be able to judge better. Mine was (thankfully) somewhat mild, and now generally doesn't show itself very much or often. Apparently, iodine can make it worse, so it is suggested to avoid foods high in iodine, such as kelp. Salt also seems to aggravate it...

    OK, I've read that too, and I did buy some. Seems to help to some degree. Not sure why you'd want to cook it, but when I had the yeasty beasties, I took caprylic acid capsules. Worked miracles. However, I also avoided all sugars, yeasts, vinegars, and fruit. Coconut oil is marvelous for skin, hair and nails, though I found only the really expensive...

    Besides the sublingual methylcobalamin (B12), I'd suggest magnesium, and maybe vitamin D. Some others to consider might be calcium and zinc. If you google zinc deficiencies, you'll get the common symptoms, so you can see if they fit you. For the candida, I'd suggest caprylic acid. Curious, I have only heard of using apple cider vinegar for heartburn...

    Be thankful that your doctor suggested Celiac. It does sound quite possible, given your symptoms. However, no matter what the tests say, I'd recommend the gluten-free diet anyway, as I'm sure others here will too. This is because the tests often give false negatives, plain and simple. You may also find you need to eliminate other foods too, at least for a...

    Well, I had things turn out gritty until I started using millet flour, sorghum flour, buckwheat flour, etc. These are not gritty at all IMO, and I don't buy superfine or anything special. I'm sure they'll work in cookies. As for making them healthier, and lower in calories, try Stevia in place of sugar, and coconut oil in place of butter or margarine.
  24. RiceGuy
    I wouldn't worry much about your weight right now. Once you begin to heal, you'll be absorbing better, and that should help to get you closer to your ideal weight. Many do gain weight being gluten-free, especially if they had been underweight before. It is easy to obtain good fats too, but what you eat will depend on your particular intolerances/allergies...
  25. RiceGuy
    Absolutely. On this subject, I generally recommend powdered magnesium in orange juice. The powder form ensures maximum absorption, and the acidic juice enhances this too. BTW, cocoa does have a fairly good amount of magnesium, so I'm guessing that's why it might help.
