    I can't believe how rude that doctor was. It never fails to amaze me. I have had night-blindness for years now. I first noticed it when we got to the movie theater late and the movie had started. I was with my husband and I thought like him we could whisk down the aisle and spot two seats with the glare of the movie screen. Well he could, but I stood...

    I agree Mamaw. I'll never eat farm raised salmon. I don't see where its good for you. I'll be even more graphic. All those fish trying to swim in this small area but can't. They end up practically eating their own poop because how do you clean that out. Anything penned up are stressed and if humans get sick under stress doesn't make sense animals and...

    I'm close to this diet also and have been most of the summer. However the changes I've made are all vegetables except potatoes (I just don't do well with them) and when I eat carrots and root veggies they're in small amts. I also added rice in small amts. I felt I needed the B vits. I did really good except a few times where I wasn't eating fruit and my...

    When I was eating bread I would eat sour doughs because I couldn't tolerate yeasts. I would order bread from French Meadow bakery in Mn. They have a web. site Frenchmeadow.com. I copied what they had to say about sour dough. It is healhier. Without the use of baker's yeast, dough may take eight or ten times as long to rise, but you might agree with...

    Chinese restuarants have a reputation for having their foods laden with MSG. If you have bad reactions to MSG you stay away from them. When they first discovered reactions people were having with MSG they called it the chinese food syndrome. So I imagine they wanted to get away from that rep. by advertising they don't use MSG but you still have to worry...

    To sort of sum it up your body is made up mostly of proteins so you will be using protein to rebuild especially during your healing phase if your experiencing burn out issues. Eating to much protein in a meal however raises adrenaline/cortisal levels and causes you to burnout your adrenal glands over time. Too many carb's will increase your insulin levels...

    Carla and Ursula and others following this thread, I was reading a link Carla sent and what hit me is the high copper levels with adrenals eshaustion. I wanted to know more so I googled copper toxicity. Wow what I read explained alot. I'll share what I wrote in my notes about it, and there is alot I didn't write down if you want to further your own...

    Its really hard to change habits that are based in how you believed for a long time. It still feels like your betraying your conscience. There is alot of chemicals involved that science and psychology has a hard time understanding, although they know so much more and I just read where people with chemical addictions will be helped in the near future with...

    I read a real good book a couple years ago called The Schwarzbein Principle 2 by Diana Schwarzbein, MD. I have the same problem. Just alittle stress really does me in. Once your adrenals become underactive you start to crave sugar, coffee, even excercize because it kicks it up and you start to feel good. To really start to heal you have to rest and slowly...

    I'm gluten free, MSG free, sulfite free and I'm glad I don't have to give up my Cafe Lattes, Mocha Lattes, and Chai Latte but I just recently found out I have to watch for the ingredient sodium caseinate which is in some chai tea mixes. I get the MSG reaction to it. Its also in non dairy creamers and ice cream.

    I hate that people think you can cheat alittle bit now and then. Like with a weight low diet. They don't know how it hurts to get the smallest amt of gluten. Or someone will say "it has very, very little if any flour in it." They act so casual about it.

    Ivy,....Have you suffered from depression before? Some people get depressed because they miss the foods they once ate if thats what you mean. I don't think you do though, I'm guessing its probably due to not getting the nutrients from the foods you ate. Make sure you take suppliments and especially B-vits that are yeast free. Look into maintaining...

    Shannon, I sorry to hear what happened to your mom and your health problems also. I just read this today in the book Breaking The Vicious Cycle by Elaine Gottschall. She was just talking about the "Gold Standard" of testing for celiac and so many people are told they don't have celiac because not all the critteria was met. "However this method of...

    I really hope being gluten free helps with the sleep,....it should help at least some. I read what you said about your husband not dreaming and there is a reason for that. I'm trying to remember this so forgive me if I get some things off but hopefully I'll be able to give you something to go on and to some research with google. He's having trouble absorbing...

    bully, what is amazake rice/almond shake and what is in it? I was going to suggest it was maybe the sourkraut. If you have MSG reactions chances are you'll react to aged or fermented foods. It usually goes hand in hand. gail

    I crave hotdogs that have been grilled and slightly burned. I found the applegate hotdogs and they are great! However I found these gluten free buns and they were terrible So it sort of ruined the expirence for me. I just ate it plain. I don't miss bread so much as I miss the buns that were soft and pliable for hotdogs and brats. Oh and hamburger...

    I thought they were good. It makes a big pan though, and if your not going to eat it in two days I'd freeze them because they dry out fast. I added choc. chips to mine. gail

    I have an on going problem with candida. I was first diagnosed in 1985 and did the nystatin mainly with strict diet. Back then they had you eating yogurt alot also. I remember drinking alot of tea made with a type of bark? But I hated it, really hated it. Never felt good because of the die off. I've known for years that I'm back to square one with...

    I don't feel the greatest with alot of the popular gluten free breads. For me its the yeast and potato starch. I do ok with a millet/flax bread I get at my local health food store. I don't over do it either. I don't have the web site available but its from Sami's bakery and its located in Florida. gail

    I remember the worse I've felt was about 10 yrs ago when on vacation in florida. I had joint pain come on out of nowhere. Then the restlessness at night. I concluded it was the sudden change in climates. I went from cold dry air from WI. to humid hot sticky wet weather. I even noticed the wall paper was peeling in the cheap motel room we were at and...

    I keep a poop diary I like to keep track of how things are moving. I used to go maybe two to three times a week and it would be hard to pass. Now I'm going about 5 times a week and not so much strain anymore. For about 4 days I tried to eat the recommended amount of fiber a day, I think its 25 to 30 grams and found it alittle hard to follow. You really...
