    Treat yourself in other ways. Buy yourself a new pair of jeans or shoes, get movie you can enjoy with buttery pop-corn, take a bubble bath with a new scented lotion, light candles and play really good music, take a vigorous walk, read some magazines or book. I find I just have to distract myself with something and to avoid feeling sorry for myself. ...

    There are more then a few of us with that compulsion here. Must be a side effect of eating too much rice. Gail

    I didn't notice a reaction eigher. For many months I would make pizza with their pizza crusts ( every sunday ) for the football games. So I ate this more then I did the bread. I'm not as sensitive with GI as you are though. My symptoms are mainly brain fog and real bad bloating in my stomach with c.c. Then of course depending on how bad the c.c. it quickly...

    I remember you Brian, you thought your grill was cc'ing your food in some way. I'm praying you can get the help of an expirenced doctor who knows alittle more then an allergist. Don't give up. Hopefully it will be only for a short time. Gail

    My goodness I can't believe its that high. I have been eating this bread off and on for awhile. They sell it at as the gluten free bread at my local health food store. They go through about 40 loaves a week. They told me their raw dog food and Sami's bread products are their biggest sellers. I always wondered about the fact it was not a dedicated...

    What are your symptoms with the stomach? Some possiblilities with just guessing is your not getting the fiber you used to get so stomach acid doesn't get carried out and causing irritation. Or the opposite could be true your not making enough acid and food stays in your stomach to long causing gerd. This is what people spend millions of dollars on every...

    I was just wondering, how do they test whether or not your absorbing nutrients from your foods or not? Gail

    Is cheese sensations the same as cheese whiz or velveeta? I like that this recipe uses both natural cheese and abit of the creamy cheese that comes in jars. I wouldn't want to use all velveeta type cheese but some helps with the consistancy. Which is why I used to use the white sauce. Thanks Bea

    I guess what I always worry about when using different flours is do they perform with the same thickening power as the wheat flour does. I know how to use corn starch but its the others I'm not familar with. I should spend a day in the kitchen and see how different flours thicken a cup of water. Thanks for the help, Gail

    You might look into a possible reaction to MSG. It would be in the broth and it's in all turkey deli/lunch meats. Although it's a hidden ingredient in many things. They either go by a different name or in turkey deli meat and canned tuna it'll be in the ingredient "broth". There are so many names for it it's hard for me to list them here. If you google...

    Thanks Liz. I'll give it a try. It sounds good. Gail

    I want to make homemade mac and cheese with tinkyada shells. They've been in my cupboard for half a year. The recipes I'm most familar with is making a white sauce and adding shredded cheddar cheese, adding it to cooked noodles, then baking it. For those who have expiremented with this before have you used cornstarch, or another type of flour you...

    You can buy a blood glucose monitor. You'll have to get the strips that you put into the monitor for each test. Also a lancing device with ultra thin needles. Its not as bad as it sounds and if you really think you have issues its worth the piece of mind to find out. Expecially if diabeties runs in your family. But even if it doesn't bloods sugar lows...

    I'm in the same situation and all I can say is I did'nt want to damage what I've spent so long (2years) healing. We buy our own health insurance and the deductable is very high so we would have to foot the bill for most of the tests. So that makes me not want to do it. Then I'm not sure if having the diagnosis would be smart just because your considered...

    I would go grain free. You might have a problems with all of them. Its also a good diet to treat the yeast over growth in your gut. There are many books out there that deal with pain caused by inflammation (also diseases like diabeties and heart diease, cancer, arthritis, etc), from eating grains and other carbs. I know several people who went on the...

    I know the grain lobbies are among the most powerful in the government. The department of agriculture is devoted to keeping those lobbies happy and is far less interested in the impact of their policies on our nation's health. Look at the food pyramid developed by the USDA, we're told to eat grains more then anything else. You have to wonder why. My suspicious...

    Are you using bean type flours? Or even worse would be soy anything. Soy gives me major bloat. The other thing that comes to mind is peanuts, or peanutbutter. Its a legume and hard to digest for some. Its so hard to call because it might be an allergy to something and that can be anything. I've just given you foods that are hard to digest. Gail

    Hi Judy, Well our thanksgiving was nice. Everything turned out great. Was alot of work though I try to please everyone so I make two stuffings. I have to take the turkey out of the oven and keep it warm for a whole hour so that I can fit sweet potatoes, the stuffings and green bean casserole in there. Its the only time of year I wish I had double...

    I don't think you feel good until you've been totally gluten free for awhile (and it take time to work out all the kinks). Your gut has to heal. You can imagine how messed up it is with the symptoms you've described. Also the villi that has been damaged is what you need to fully get the nutrition you need from the food you eat. Many if not all develop...

    My pie crust was outstanding this time. I used half the pakage of the Gluten Free pantry mix but if you notice if you follow the recipe it has too much fat to mix ratio. So I have the G.F. safe oats that I turn into flour with the cusinart, and added about 3/4 cup to it. It gave it a nice texture and gave it a nice color. But the flavor was so much better...

    Everything turned out good this year. The only thing I'd change is to put more salt in the stuffing. I made both tranditional and G.F. stuffings. The G.F. was made with rice bread from the Sillyak bakery. The texture was good but lacked flavor. If you look on the package of crutons from regular brownberry though it contains alot of sodium. So I think...

    The holidays are just to hard to restrict sweet goodies but I'm going to start the anti candida diet in January. Whenever I do eat to many sweets I won't sleep good. I just stay super alert. So I'll eat just alittle just enough so I don't feel deprieved. I did get the book that was recommended , An Extraordinary Rower To Heal by Bruce Semon and thought...

    I never really looked into it but I always knew it was somehow related because to Me anyway bananas and avocados taste like how latex smells. I'm not a big fruit fan so I don't eat any of those things except for an occasional tomato. Thanks Michelle I'm going to look at the links. Gail
  25. bluejeangirl
    Are ballons related to latex? I can't be around them or I'll have trouble breathing and get choking sensations. Are there any foods related to latex. I was wondering about bananas and avocadoes. If they're not ripe I'll react funny to these foods but seems to be better if they are ripe. Was always curious why. Gail
