    I've been gluten free for about 4 years now and have been successfully eating out in restaurants for the past 2 fairly frequently but just recently realized there are probably a number of options I don't know about. I've incidentally stumbled upon places like Johnny Carino's and Boston's Pizza (a sports bar with gluten free pizza!) through friends and from...

    I'm asking this question despite having been gluten-free for 3 and a half years now . But my diet's been quite restrictive during this time in addition to gluten and I'm only recently adding in a wider variety of foods. So, if I go to pick up say, a block of cheddar cheese, should I contact the company first to make sure it's gluten-free and there...

    Happy birthday!

    There's an event being hosted at a restaurant this weekend with a buffet being served. The chef is going out of his way to prepare a meal for me separately, and I just want to know what basic information to tell him to cook and prepare a gluten-free meal that he might not intuitively know. I think the meal is going to be a roasted chicken with honey roasted...

    Been a while since I posted here though I skim through the thread occasionally. Hope everyone's doing well. Quick question. Looks like I'm going to try the Humaworm product that you all have spoken so glowingly of. I know that Carla and I think Donna at the least have tried it but don't remember who else has. Anyone had any adverse reactions or...

    Quick question: Does anyone know of an organic bar that is gluten-free (preferably dairy and soy free as well though not necessarily) that has a decent protein-carb ratio and not made with almonds or cashews? I've actually found a few recently that have good protein-carb ratios (20+g of protein) and satisfy all of the above criteria except for having almond...

    yeah, I think I remember seeing a reference or two to blood pressure but that's not an issue for me... I do match up with most symptoms of elevated barium toxicity, but I match up with many symptom lists so that in itself isn't necessarily indicative of much... and drinking water does indeed seem to be suggested as the most likely source of contamination...

    Just stopping through briefly, hope everyone is doing well. I had a whole blood test done by Doctor's Data labs about a month or 2 ago. I just wanted to get some general bloodwork done for mineral levels and whatnot but the test my LLMD ordered also included a number of metals. Well, when I got my test results back, much to my surprise, barium of all...

    The risotteria is a gluten-free restaurant in the city (well, nearly everything on the menu is gluten-free or is offered as either gluten-free or not gluten-free)... has paninis, pizza, risotto, and salads so it's mostly carb-heavy which is the opposite of my diet... small place, only 10 small tables and a handful of bar seats but they also do takeout and...
  10. Clark Bent as Stupor-Man
    well, I figured it would be easier to skip trying all the alternative suggestions to put on weight and go straight for some staples like cheesecake and pizza... don't know why nobody suggested that went up to the risotteria on Sunday so everything was gluten-free, but certainly not dairy-free, low in carbs, or good for candida... considering it was...

    Hey, thanks for the list. As for foods, I'm not sure as I've been on a very restrictive diet for a while. But I seem to tolerate nightshade foods better than legumes/nuts/nut and seed butters. Avocadoes I don't know, bought them once to try but they went bad before I got around to using them. And I don't actually drink smoothies or anything, just...
  12. Clark Bent as Stupor-Man
    alright, well, I figure I may as well get around to asking a few of the things I wanted to bring up when I posted a bit a month ago... I don't react well to activated charcoal, leaves me more fatigued though I haven't tried it in a year and a half (also didn't test well for it during the bio-energetic testing I had done)... probably also isn't practical...
  13. Clark Bent as Stupor-Man
    I wouldn't worry way too much about it and I'd recommend just rotating foods as to the extent that is practical for you... there isn't a magic formula per se, it's just typically recommended to have 2 or 3 days in between foods so that you can pinpoint if you have a reaction, delayed or immediate, to one of the staple foods in your rotation diet... from...

    NC has a religious exemption for vaccinations... pretty much every state except for 2, I think, have religious exemptions... some have philosophical exemptions as well but not NC.. the religious exemptions are fairly easy to obtain even if you aren't necessarily religious, at least from what I understand... though I suppose that could differ from state...

    I've had hypoglycemia since I was in my early teens, had to actually get permission one year I had a late lunch to go the nurse's office and snack mid-day... both my parents have hypo as well... wasn't too bad for a few years around when I was in college, but it's gotten progressively worse the past 5 years... I was also pre-diabetic according to an OGTT...
  16. Clark Bent as Stupor-Man
    I'm actually the exact same way, down to cashews being able to hold me for maybe an hour extra... oh, and I guess it's more like eating every 2 hours for me, at least throughout the day... I can go longer in between eating meals at night as for something that you might find beneficial in terms of coping with your hypo and not having to cook, I can eat...

    Alright, I guess I'll put up a general update as things currently stand for myself... I haven't gone back on ABX since the 2 months of mino I took during the summer.. I was considering trying doxy a couple months ago but decided against it for the time being for a couple reasons... the only supplement/meds I'm currently taking to target lyme, candida...
  18. Clark Bent as Stupor-Man
    Hey, just to make it clear, it wasn't the doxy that gave me the vestibular symptoms, it was the minocycline. I never actually filled my RX for doxy, which I was considering taking a couple months after I stopped the mino. I found the study re: the side effects of mino, particularly the vestibular ones, in relation to gender and weight: click here...

    I don't have time to post in this thread tonight but I should be back posting soon, at least to an extent... just replied to a couple other posts on this forum so figured I'd leave a quick reply here... great news, carla regarding you and your daughter... hope everyone else is doing well and making progress...
  20. Clark Bent as Stupor-Man
    looks like this thread has a lot of activity nowadays, not just carla posting every other reply I've been taking cat's claw daily for a couple months now... will probably start bumping the amount up soon, just got to schedule another appt with my llmd first to discuss things... I don't plan on going back on ABX any time soon... I only did the 2 months...

    I didn't have good experiences when I took charcoal a number of times in 2006... I was taking it on the advice of my nutritionist when I was having reactions and it only seemed to make me more fatigued and drained... nothing too overwhelming though it was significant enough... but combined with me not seeing any neurological benefits when I took it or alleviating...

    a couple links from lyme net: Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link though I just ended up buying another spectrum flax oil anyway, when I've taken it in the past I think I've been fine with it and maybe got a slight boost in my overall feeling... though I've never taken it regularly... ughh.. got caught with the lame advertisement...
  23. Clark Bent as Stupor-Man
    what do you guys use to get omegas? I took some flax oil at times earlier this year but briefly read some information on lymenet a few months ago about flaxseed oil potentially having some adverse effects for those with lyme... I still might get some more flaxseed oil but I'm just curious what you all are using... I think I remember rachel considering...
  24. Clark Bent as Stupor-Man
    rachel, just letting you know your inbox is full...

    quick question.... how strict are you all when it comes to the inactive ingredients in prescriptions and supplements? in regards to dairy, soy, etc. or even gluten for that matter for those who are avoiding these foods generally speaking... I am extremely strict in terms of avoiding soy, eggs, dairy, gluten, and even corn... and have been since last year...
