    Nini, Would this be a good bread to make stuffing with? I'm still wondering what bread to use since this is my first gluten free thanksgiving. I'm thinking the most ricey type breads would turn out sticky. Not good. Gail

    Marlene, I couldn't get your web address to work but I've been through the herxheimer thing. Its not fun and I'm glad she lighten the dose because you shouldn't have to take off work going through this. Take your time healing and go slow. Our bodies are always regenerating but its the candida dieing off that is giving you that nasty feeling. Its bad...

    I had a friend who was allergic to oregano. Whenever she would have it she wouldn't sleep and be extremely agitated. But thats an herb. I don't know what your using. I would think mold could be a problem in drying certain herbs like sage. It looks and smells like mold to me, but that might just be the nature of the plant. I wonder if they use pesticides...

    I'm very sensitive to chemicals. I've been through alot trying to find them and avoid them. Here are some tips that you might find interesting. Buy your drinking water in glass bottles. Try not to microwave foods as much as possible and if you do don't use plastic wraps while doing it. Try and go organic as much as possible. Avoid perfumes in...

    Another thing Hoodzmom is to keep yourself informed by reading articles, books, news anything that keeps you updated. Find out new recipes that get you excited all over again. Challenge yourself to see how close you can get new foods to taste like the old favorites. Feel yourself getting stronger and see yourself as being healed in meditation. Don't...

    I get immediate reactions to eating bananas and potatoes. I was reading these posts and it hit me that it might be nightshades as a whole. I never considered it because I avoid tomatoes mostly because I have a tendency to get acidity with it. Same with oranges. I did allergy testing over 20 years ago and I reacted to so many things the doctor looked at...

    I can tell you what I've done. For one going to the store is no easy task, especially if your going for the whole week and your a label reader (and you have to be). I would come home from the store and be so beat my head was swimming. So I asked my husbands help. He was really good about it. We go on saturday mornings and we have quite a lot fun joking...

    Budew I'm curious about how you found out about iodine and it making you sick. I just started taking kelp so you can see why. The OMG thread is so long, would you happen to know what post no. it started on or around what date it was? I'm sure glad you found this out. I can't imagine the hell you went thru. Gail

    Ursula, I'm glad your getting some more answers. I was reading in one of my husband manuals about a Iodine-skin Patch Test. I didn't do it but I'm planning on it. ****************************************************************************************** Iodone-Skin Patch Test: 1. Purchase an inexpensive 2% solution of Iodine (Lugol's Solution...

    I just wanted to mention what I'm reading from the book Optimal Digestive Health (a complete guide) by a list of Doctors. Here's what I read the otherday but sort of condensed so I don't know if it'll make sense but you might want to order the book. You won't be dissappointed. Messages from the nervous system communicate with cells all over our body...

    Mayflower, This is a celiac board where we talk about BM's quite often. Your the first person I've read thats been offended. I think Kathy Ann did a very good job describing her problems so we can understand her fully. Anyway Kathy Ann, You also describe me! I got my first full blown panic attack in the 7th grade in health class . I ran out...

    I don't think your getting enough fat either. You don't get much with the supplements. You'll lose weight when you include fats like olive oil and eat walnuts for example. If you having a had time digesting them try taking a digestive enzyme which include lipase and that should allow you to digest and assimilate the fat. You also won't get so hungry...

    I agree with all thats been said and just offer one more reason. I'll notice my hands and feet get cold during the evening when I'm watching t.v. I have to cover them with a throw blanket. I figured it's because I'm digesting the biggest meal of my day and blood gets directed to the digestive system. gail

    I have been bothered by this for the past couple of days. I'll even wake up because I have to burp. It actually wakes me up because it just sits at the top of my stomach and I have to release it. Thanks for that site Sandy I'm wondering if I swallow air now. Heck I'm always nervous its my middle name. Now I'm going to be conscience of swallowing lol...

    If you really want to get rid of the candida you would not eat wheat anyway just because candida thrive on it. What you really want to do is eat a low carb diet like the Atkins diet or Paleolithic. Its going to take alittle work with planning your meals ahead and extra time in the kitchen. You don't want to be stuck eating hashbrowns for lunch again ...

    Stress is a big factor in causing adrenal fatigue. Your adrenals send out cortisol and other chemicals for the fight or flight thing that happens because your body senses danger. So your heart may begin to beat faster, your brain becomes more alert, your digestion shuts off, and so much more but to make this brief. When you have that happening day after...

    Sipping on my homemade chicken broth and watching a DVD's. When I can eat I'll have soft boiled eggs and a slice of brown rice bread toasted with alittle butter. Then if Im doing ok later I'll have brown rice, Chicken breast and zucchinni (steamed). Maybe some yogurt and fruit. I have chicken broth frozen for these times. Also chicken breasts...

    When I was on the SCD I was overcome with fatigue. I wanted to find out why because I thought I was eating enough on it. Then it hit me, no. 1.. I was cooking the fruit like they said and mixing it with yogurt. Well if I was going to go thru all that trouble of cooking fruit I made it my whole breakfast by eating a large enough portion that I didn't have...

    Its funny, I too have gained weight the last month or so after being underweight for about a year. Since Jan. of last year I've been so diligent in tracking all my foods in a diary followed by symptoms and being so careful of everything then in August my son came home for 2 weeks from being on a long cruise ( the Navy) in the gulf and I hadn't seen him...

    If its sulfites also stay away from frozen french fries. They're sprayed with sulfites to keep them from turning brown. Gail

    Vicki, I haven't read any shouting matches. I'm so sorry that's what you've noticed lately. You know I'm a person who has opinions like everyone else and I certainly don't expect anyone to agree with me. Do you? What do you do when you have an opinion and you see someone has a different one? Maybe you can help by telling us how to express ourselves...

    I haven't tried this since I just found it but I think it'll be nice to have on hand. I make alot of things with cream of mushroom soup. The hard part will be finding a bouillon granule that is gluten free,...maybe someone knows of one? Gail Homemade Cream of Soup Mix 2 cups powdered milk 3/4 cups cornstarch 1/4 cups chicken, beef, vegetable...
