Beef liver is the worst. I have to choke it down, but beef heart and chicken organs aren't so bad. I think they taste better the more I eat them. I measured veggies in the beginning, just so I could get an accurate eyeball of how much a cup was. When it comes to greens, especially if you cook them, 3 cups goes by pretty fast. If you watched her...

I do the yucky greens in the morning, to get them out of the way, so I flip between cooked organ meat & greens one morning to a smoothie the next. And a lot of the greens can count as either ors. Like Kale, arugula, and collards, are both greens and sulfur. Then there is purple cabbage, beet greens, and purple kale, which can count for purple or greens...

So I'm almost 3 months into it, and this diet has improved my life so much. I'm pretty strict with it. My arthritis (that I've had since I was 18) is just gone. I actually love vegetables and eat more veggies than what she calls for. Especially lettuces, since they sort of taste sweet to me, I could eat lettuce all day. It is a lot of work chopping...

I would wait it out, gluten affects many of my family members. Celiac or not they have multiple autoimmune issues which are only exacerbated by eating gluten. I notice, for me anyway, stress plays a role. I found out my poor pooch is dying this week and my arthritis which has been so much better on a gluten free diet all of a sudden flared up in multiple...

I'd go with coconut milk/cream. A vegan friend recommended it to me as replacement coffee creamer. You can have that delivered, it packs a lot of calories, and has a lot of natural vitamins. I put it in coffee/tea, make yogurt with it with probiotic pills, put it with honey and make ice cream with it, I soak chia seeds in it for a pudding. I add the coconut...

Did it work? Any tips? I started the Wahls protocol this week, after reading the book. Not too encouraged, adding another 4-5 cups of veggies to my diet has not gone over well with my tummy...

My nearly daily diarrhea went away after stopping gluten, but it took me a couple of weeks after stopping gluten to realize my horrible gas pains and mushy stools were from lactose (milk)... it was funny because I'm not much of a milk drinker and I would blame my stomach pain on the chocolate in chocolate bars, not even thinking about the milk in them. So...

No well water. It could be the city water, but I've come to the conclusion that it's a combination of my impaired gut, stress (highly emotion teen in our house left me without sleep last week), plus I was sick with a cold about a week or two ago, my immune system has probably not been well. Then there's my family. My youngest has a habit of eating couch...

Yes, the first time the doc checked, no for the second, the second I just recognized the symptoms (yellow feces with floating fat on top of the water) and started adding turmeric to my food and taking the oregano oil. I'd be all about taking the antibiotics if I was throwing up or had a fever, but I don't/didn't. They use hefty antibiotics for it (because...

I wasn't sure where to post this. Since going gluten free, I've contracted Giardia twice, 3 months apart. Is this common? Does it go away after a time? How did you make it go away? So far I've managed to avoid antibiotics, because IMO what's worse than Giardia is antibiotic resistant giardia... I've been taking turmeric and oregano oil instead which...
