ARCHIVED Oxalates And Nightshades
bluejeangirl replied to jerseyangel's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
What do they mean by giving oils with your meals. As a suppliment like fish oils or using oils in your cooking? Its amazing what they know about digestion. She should be giving seminars to doctors. Gail -
ARCHIVED Trying To Identify The Cause Of My Diarrhea
bluejeangirl replied to rjp0503's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Common ingredients are rice, and xanthan gum. I suppose what I would do is bake a banana bread myself using all the ingredients they used except the xanthan gum and see if that bothers you. It wouldn't suprize me if that was it. It's used to keep the bread from falling apart easily giving it a better texture. Its slimey/sticky ish. You really don't need... -
My addictions have been bread, bakery donuts, and beer. Interesting isn't it. I thought it was a yeast thing but now I don't know. Rice bread has yeast in it and I can stop at one piece. Lets face it wheat taste good, but I'm pretty sure I was also addicted to it. Gail

All I can say is I've had this sharp shooting pain in the rectum but it doesn't happen often enough were I'm worried about it. Usually 3 or 4 times a year. Followed by a BM thats harder to pass or has something sharp in it like an undigested peanut. I also have a hemorroid so I figured I was causing pressure pain irritating it or causing it to swell up...

ARCHIVED How Can I Get Dh Fully On Board?
bluejeangirl replied to lilgreen's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I don't think you CAN reason with a guy who was told as you said explicitly what it means to avoid getting gluttened and yet he still scraped the top off pizza. My Gosh how can you do this to your child. I think what you have to do is to be very bold and tell him yourself YOU will not tolerant this. You have to become your sons advocate. Make sure he... -
ARCHIVED Bloating From Everything
bluejeangirl replied to hayley3's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
If you take away the offending food your bloating will go away. It'll take more then a day however I'd give it two and up to a week at the most depending on how severe your reaction is. It could be gluten, dairy, nuts, anything. I remember when I first joined this board their was a girl who could not get rid of bloating no matter what she ate. She finally... -
ARCHIVED I Did The Silliest Thing Today
bluejeangirl replied to Joss's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I have a couple of foods that I always have on hand in case I'm too hungry to wait. I don't know what your favorites are but I almost always have some type of corn tortilla chips or rice chips. I also have gluten free muffins all the time in the freezer. I bake every saturday. We can be so vulnerable when we're hungry. We just have to do alittle planning... -
ARCHIVED A Confessed Cookie Smellaholic
bluejeangirl posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
There is something I'm curious about and wonder if I could get some feedback. Whenever someone in my household brings home regular bakery or homemade cookies I get very reminisant of the taste and I always pick it up and smell them. They still smell so wonderful to me. This time of year my husband will get cookies as gifts. People will bring in... -
ARCHIVED What Qualifies As "diarrhea"?
bluejeangirl replied to Carol the Dabbler's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I always wondered about what was meant by diarrhea. I also thought it involved cramping and watery stools. According to this I did have diarrhea or unformed stools before I went G.F. Interesting. -
ARCHIVED Does Anyone Actually Feel 100% Better?!?!?!
bluejeangirl replied to LilyCeliac's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Thank you Centra for taking the time to reply. I post will help alot of people I'm sure. I'm around the same age and have been through a lot of the same stuff. I just want to add a couple of other things to look for. I've found it helped to not eat all the rice breads and G.F. mixes and other high carb. foods. I felt great going gluten free for the... -
ARCHIVED Very Slow Digestion Of Foods
bluejeangirl replied to DrMom's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Have you experimented with your diet. The first thing that comes to my mind is very low fat and no raw veggies. Then hard to digest veggies like cabbage and broccoli, legumes? What has been your experiences with these, do you have a food diary? Gail -
ARCHIVED How To Chop Onions Without Crying, Burning Eyes?
bluejeangirl replied to Sweetfudge's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
You probably have to put them in the freezer longer. I won't have problems if I keep the onions in the refridgerator but if I cut a room tempeture onion I'll have tears running down my cheeks. If I do have to cut an onion that way I'll get a small fan and aim it so it blows the gasses away from me. Gail -
Rye flour has gluten but it's low in gluten. Not nearly as much as wheat. Most rye breads in the store will have wheat flour in them to get a better rise. They are selling a sour dough german rye bread in our local health food store right now. It does look good so I bought it for my husband. He loves it. The other thing I know about rye is that its...

ARCHIVED Oxalates And Nightshades
bluejeangirl replied to jerseyangel's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
I'm glad you mentioned restless leg because I've wanted to call it that right away. This is a big symptom of mine. Also the bladder pain. It'll also affect my joints or what seems like the ligaments in and around joints. Especially up around the skull and jaw area. I know that's because I have a mouth full of metal. Still have my fillings. It might... -

ARCHIVED Oxalates And Nightshades
bluejeangirl replied to jerseyangel's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
The other day I was making a buffalo patty for lunch and was really hungry for a big salad to go with it. I made a salad using dark green romaine lettuce and made a dressing with balsamic vinegar and olive oil. I had put on black olives on the salad too. Then figuring I blew it for the day I had green beans, roasted potatoes and carrots for supper. Funny... -
ARCHIVED Oxalates And Nightshades
bluejeangirl replied to jerseyangel's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
I was taking Cat's Claw which is pretty powerful and it's also good for leaky gut, ulcers, diverticulosis, improves the immune system and more if you want to google it. But its high is antioxidants and pytochemicals so I figured its a given that its also high in oxalates. So I stopped taking it. I'll get yeast to die off just by eating low carb. I... -

ARCHIVED Oxalates And Nightshades
bluejeangirl replied to jerseyangel's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
This is what I'm taking Standard Process calcium lactate with the magniesm and I'm almost done with the bottle. It's expensive and I didn't want to throw it out. Interesting about the calcium carbonate helping D and I agree. If I take it, it'll cause constipation. I didn't get my suppliments delivered yet but when I do I'll go one at a time for maybe... -
ARCHIVED Oxalates And Nightshades
bluejeangirl replied to jerseyangel's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
I've been thinking about this calcium thing but I haven't had time to google it yet. These are my thoughts on it. I'm taking calcuim with every meal and I've never done that before. Its actually a calcium/magnesium tablet in the form of calcium lactate and magnesium citrate. I take this because its the most absorbable of all the cals. out there whereas... -
ARCHIVED Oxalates And Nightshades
bluejeangirl replied to jerseyangel's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
That could be Patti, mine bordered on nausea also. Today I decided to lay off the cauliflower, broccoli and apples. Try that for a week. I've been having them because they are low ox. but normally I know they give me gas problems. I need to heal the gut alittle more before I can properly digest some fo these foods. I was just reading that an inadaquate... -
ARCHIVED Oxalates And Nightshades
bluejeangirl replied to jerseyangel's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
. This is nice to know since I still haven't changed my calcium. I wanted to wait until I was done with what I'm taking. Its made up of calcium lactate and carbonate. Anyway, I went from reducing my carbs to eating alot of them. I broke out my rice flours and started baking away. I mixed tapioca flour in there too because I don't that has oxalates... -

ARCHIVED Oxalates And Nightshades
bluejeangirl replied to jerseyangel's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Hello everyone. I've been LOD'ing for over a week and pretty much felt better then I have in a long time. I didn't have the dumping symptons or see evidence of giving off crystals or anything so I wondered if my body, having the candida just wasn't allowing the blood levels of oxalates to get low enough. So I went low carb. about 20 grams of carbs per... -
ARCHIVED Oxalates And Nightshades
bluejeangirl replied to jerseyangel's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
I was able to read more today, still doing my best to understand all this. Thanks Catesfolly for posting the research paper on CFS. It does make alittle sense to about Methylation being blocked and must be cleared because this holds down the glutathion levels. It all sounds complicated to me. If I don't get better I'll have to copy that and try and find...
