    ARCHIVED What If...

    Can I ask was your father having symptoms of celiac? You mentioned he got parkinson's and I've seen a little bit of that common here. My father sometimes said that there was always something wrong with his digestion, then he got Parkinson's.
  2. I knew a guy 9 years ago who made colloidal silver and claimed to be one of a very few who made the stuff at the grade and potency (25ppm) he did. Anyway, he said the stuff is supposed to be not only anti-bactierial but anti-viral as well. When I got a cold I took the stuff and didn't see any difference at all. I think it would be interesting to put that...
  3. Hey, no wonder I've been having problems with Paprika! May I ask where you got this information and how contaminated is paprika and tumeric + any other spices that you know of? Is that an American product thing?
  4. I don't know about the gluten but I understand that most, if not all, boullions have MSG in them, which is why they taste so good.
  5. As I was reading this the words "avoid all starches," and "dairy" jumped out at me. This is exactly what is talked about for celiacs in Elaine Gottschall's "Breaking the Vicscious Cycle." The book explains: 'that way back when the disease was first formally recognized they also came up with an effective diet to treat it. They found dairy, grains, and all...
  6. My doctor told me to shut of all the lights in the apartment or at least stay in a completely dark room 1/2 hour before going to bed. It's important to do all the brushing of teeth and other bathroom stuff before that 1/2 hour as any bright lights trigger a wake-up response in the brain. Even turning on a light for a second will ruin it. Also no computer...
  7. eleep, I understand how confusing it can be to sort out what is a "normal" response to what is an innapropriate response to whatever is going on in my life. Lots of times, it is more obvious, like you said. I'm glad the Ativan works. I lost faith in drugs after 15 years on 7 different meds not doing much, or anything for me. I might try the Ativan, even though...
  8. CarlaB, I just came across this thread and had to say thank you for starting it! I've researched adrenal fatigue a while back in February or so but forgot how important it was. I have 8 of the 13 posted symptoms for diagnosis! My day has enormous amounts of stress over and on top of "normal" stressors like deadlines, work, money, etc. I will definitely...
  9. Having those reactions before you knew they were reactions describes my experience. I would agree that it doesn't sound like generalized anxiety disorder but more of some kind of hyper-stimulation of the nervous symptom, apparently through withdrawl symptoms at this point, and food somehow exacerbates it. You mentioned meditiation, but have you tried bio...
  10. I replied to everyone's post last night but the website or something crashed. Here goes again. That's great that you've had good results with the technique (except for this year). Wow, it seems like a pretty high maintenance job if you can't leave the plants alone for a weekend. Perhaps an automatic drip system would work nicely though if...
  11. I'm sorry to hear about this trouble you are going through. What you described sounds very similar to what I have had to confront. I fully know how it seems that any food will bring on intense anxiety. Has this ever been a problem in the past before smoking?
  12. I wonder why this isn't discussed more? Have you had any experience with this technique? I built my first garden 5 years ago, but my cats made it their litter box . Can't blame them, I should have seen that one coming.
  13. Sick of subsisting on the pesticide-laden veggies or the "Organic" veggies that are sprayed with Auxigro (contains MSG) that might grow you a third arm? Just kidding about the third arm but here's a great way to actually be able to live on what you grow. My friend, Esperanza attended a special lecture series at my university last week, one being called...
  14. I haven't tried Clan Thompson's but the following might help somebody who is thinking of purchasing Gluten Guard for their pda. I bought Gluten Guard for my Palm Tungsten E2 but it said the pda required more memory. Being new to the pda thing I went out and bought 500 MB memory expansion card. Still doesn't work. Then the company got back to me and told...
  15. That's so true! I have OCD and gluten is the new bacteria. It's not bad anymore, as living with roomates getting gluten everywhere desentized me. OCD people are naturally fit for protecting against cc!!
  16. GFBetsy, Thanks for the info. I'm at the point where I'm getting way sick of the pre-packaged stuff. This will help me get motivated!
  17. From another guy's perspective who's in the middle of the dating scene: I agree that you should call him up and say you had to tell him that in remembering he said "beer and sandwhiches" you have wheat and barley allergies. I wouldn't say "disease" or "issues." If he needs a perspective on how sensitive you are just say its similar to someone being allergic...
  18. mmmmmmm my mouth is watering just thinking about it. I'll have to pick some up next time I go to the store!
  19. The search engine for this site is useful for convenience but to find "scd" you have to use either google's search bar at the top of the page or go to Google's homepage (or some other search engine). Google indexes the posts on the board pretty frequently. Type in "site:glutenfreeforum scd diet" without the quotes. Typing in the same with putting quotes...
  20. GFBetsy, do know when the next cooking class is in Macey's? The last one posted on the website is July 27th. JustJane, when is the SLC gluten intolerance group meeting? Is that the same group as the picnic in Lehi? Actually, I think the bleeding will be done by UofU.
  21. I diagnosed myself 2 years ago at 29 and was probably born with it. My mother gave me some homemade whole wheat bread at around 11 months old and got a dangerous fever from it. Interestingly, nothing dramatic ever happened again. Then I started noticing heavy anxiety issues at around 3rd grade and doubly intense at 6th grade and continued on but gradually...
  22. Yes, I remember that is what they were called. Just remembered that I quoted Tarnalberry (as the brain fog momentarily parts). In my teens my chiropractor (my dad) did a little adjustment that helped out that essential give in the knee's twisting motions. It did help a some. Your PT might be able to do it. I don't know that I would go to a Chiropractor...
  23. My doctor told me to exercise the outer and inner thigh muscles, not just the normal front and back (forgot the sophisticated names). Not my favorite exercise in the gym! That helped me out tons when I needed it though. Even more important actually, certain non-gluten foods will cause my knees to act up, (casein mostly). Are allergic to something you...
  24. That's some great info, thank you! I think I might just try it out during the summer/fall school break.
  25. Just a thought, have you tried a couple weeks on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet? I found it helps a lot and I might do it the full 1-2 years.
