    Unfortunately, I don't think the honey or agave would really help it stay together, I'm thinking it would actually promote crumbling. OK, I'm going to attempt it, though I don't know if it will work: 1.5 cups sweet rice flour 1 cup millet flour 1/2 cup brown rice flour 4 tsp. baking soda 1 tsp. salt 1 3/4 cups liquid (try to use something other...

    His former wife? That should have been a clue for him not to eat it! And I would have said it, and turned on my heel and left.

    First, that study did not say HIGH FIBER = COLON CANCER, it said HIGH FIBER doesn't affect ones chances of getting COLON CANCER. It was also only a three year study, and even the researchers said that's not necessarily long enough to come to a conclusion. Here's the link to the CNN story: Open Original Shared Link Also, all grains are not poison. Are...

    It definitely has gluten. Unless it says it's rice malt, it's from barley.

    Also true, but ravenwoodglass has a point, the only plausible place these stones would come from is the bile duct. If they're intrahepatic stones, they aren't getting out that way. I don't know though, I pretty much trust the dr's at John's Hopkins. Also, the pharmaceutical companies would have been all over the liver cleanses if they actually worked...

    Mine isn't until the end of August, but that's what I needed so that I'd be eating wheat for 3 months. Otherwise it would have been 2 weeks, but that's because my gastro's practice runs the game in town and they have like, 3 endo centers. In most places that doesn't happen. When I had an endo before, I had to wait 2 and a half months. It all depends on...

    Sorry you got sick, that sucks! I'm with the others, unless I make it or see someone else make it...actually, no, unless I make it, I don't trust it. I trust DH to cook for me, but since all he can cook is steak and baked potatoes, no worries! My suggestion is to become an excellent cook and wow everyone. That way, you know it's safe!

    Thanks, Tiffany. I'm kind of afraid of overworking my heart, too. I mean, hell, my ferritin is down to 4 (taken a week ago)! I don't tolerate supplements so the dr. told me to eat lots of iron containing foods and to retest in 6 weeks, and we'll go from there. Basically, that makes me a carnivore for the next few weeks. Steak with oj and lots of it! Since...

    Except that if you actually read it, they say that intrahepatic stones are uncommon in western countries and that they are treated by radiological and surgical methods. Funny how cleanses are never mentioned if they are so effective in getting rid of stones. Just a thought.

    Oh yes! Rotel is the college staple at the University of Arkansas. It doesn't get better than rotel and velveeta... Yum... And as American as apple pie I'm a fan of mission, myself

    Tiffany, do you have any tips on how to excercise with severe anemia? I've been told to excercise but know I'm not supposed to too much this anemic... I have a gazelle, any ideas?

    I don't know if we can eat the hotdogs or not, I'm on a gluten challenge for my biopsy. Something tells me that they're nathan's though, and not gluten-free. Sorry for not mentioning that
  13. penguin
    Thanks for thinking of me! How are the baby vites going? I haven't gotten brave enough to try an iron supplement yet I ate steak for dinner last night and I'm considering steak for lunch, though it'll be expensive. I'm not really eating anything leafy and green, since it doesn't get digested anyway The doctor said that if I can't tolerate...

    Yeah, any flavored lip glosses and things like that taste nasty, like chemicals, to me. I taste cans sometimes too, just a metallic taste. Blech. Red velvet cake tastes bitter to me, just too much red dye, yuck!

    can you have eggs or gelatin? there needs to be something to hold the bread together, you can't have gums, right? The reason that recipe can be so simple in the original recipe is because the gluten is elastic so it can hold everything together without the help of eggs or anything...

    It's the first book about gluten-free that I bought. It's really funny, but take some of her info with a grain of salt, just like everything else.

    My Costco has Pacific foods organic chicken broth, but right now I have a Sam's membership, so I don't go in there much unless I sneak in to look around and get a hot dog
  18. penguin
    Yeah, actually. If any part of the body controlled the growth or functioning of anything, it would be the brain. The brain (more specifically, the brain stem) controlls the autonomous functions of the body. The brain is what sends the signals to the liver, or any other organ, to function. The brain delegates and sends signals to the hypothalmus, pituitary...

    Would you mind sharing the science behind your statement, because that was overlooked in any anatomy or biology class I ever took...

    Isn't that obnoxious? People that live allergies/intolerances know there is something wrong with the wiring in the body. It's not the liver. It's not some sort of psychological thing. It's not needing to "flush your system". Heck, it's not even the offending substance itself, it's a wiring flaw, the hard drive is damaged. Thanks for thinking I'm funny...

    As nearly all of my friends are Chemical Engineers or Chemists, I know that nobody in their right mind picks up a p-chem book without a course requirement. Blech. And very few of those that pick up the books, with course prequisites completed, understand any of it.

    You're probably feeling the epididymis and/or vas deferens. Here's a lovely diagram of them Open Original Shared Link The red dots may be broken capillaries, and they'll go away after a while. Do your kitties have fleas, by chance? Their bites leave red marks

    It's my understanding that it's the IgG, not the TtG, that can be elevated in Chron's and UC, and those are both IBD's. The IgG is the most sensitive in the panel, but the Ttg is the most specific to celiac. In a normal person, those levels should be close to zero. Your "weak positive" is still positive, so sorry, you have celiac! Many biopsies come out negative...

    I'm certain it will Come on August 21st! Although, I must say that I'm enjoying being able to eat fast food and flour tortillas, even if I am in the bathroom an hour after I'm not enjoying the return of classic symptoms, but meh, maybe I'll get a good biopsy out of it. On the upside, my mom is increasingly convinced that I have celiac...
