    BERNESES - teaching skiing part-time is a big commitment; I did it through undergrad to pay for school. Have you thought of volunteering as a ski instructor for the disabled? I've been doing that for 9 years now through grad school and a post-doc. The volunteer instructor is low-commitment. It's usually a series of 4 to 8 lessons, once a week for just...

    My weight right now is really low (only been on the diet for 3 months), but I would go nuts if I couldn't run, hike etc. I need to workout for my mental well being. If you want to gain weight, I would eat a lot of healthy fats - nuts, avocados, olives. Eat as often as you can. I eat about every 2 hours to maintain my weight.

    Barbara - I'm starting a teaching job at Cal Poly and I'm SOOO excited. I didn't get to see much of the town when I came out for the interview (which was pretty much my first time in California), but it looks like a beautiful area. The farmer's market sounds good and I love seafood.

    ARCHIVED Celiac Runners

    corinne replied to a topic in Sports and Fitness

    My main passion is mountaineering, but I run several times a week as cross-training. I do at least one session of high intensity intervals and then some medium distance runs. I've been gluten free and completely grain free (no corn or rice either) for 3 months now. My carbs come entirely from fruits and veggies. I was really surprised that my energy increased...

    WOOHOO! As of today, I have been on the SCD and dairy free for 3 months. Pluses - no diarrhea, stomache cramps, gas, mouth sores. Normal periods. Lots of energy. I can't believe the change. The biggest change - I'm down to 1.5 peptobismol per day from 8. Minuses - my weight is really low. That will change eventually when I can tolerate nuts and...

    Weird - I've had the exact same symptoms - occasional severe stomache pain and occasional dizziness, for 2 weeks. I've been gluten/dairy/corn/rice/caffeine/nightshades etc free for 3 months. So I know that it's not food intolerances. Wish I could figure it out.

    Finally, something to show my doc. I actually have collagenous colitis. My mother is celiac. In spite of many people with collagenous colitis responding to a gluten free diet, my doc insists that collagenous colitis is not related to celiac and that anti-diarrheal meds or steroids are the best treatment. This article clearly states that collagenous colitis...

    I'm moving to SLO in July. I too would love to hear about where to eat. I can't wait for the seafood.

    I tried coconut milk for the first time last week. I made a smoothie, but it was so greasy/rich I could hardly drink it. Is it just the brand of milk I tried?

    Having a rough day today. The diet is working and everything is normal on that end of things. I've been able to cut way down on the peptobismol. Now, I'm getting burning pain in my stomache. I think it's probably because my stomache is used to being coated with bismuth 3 or 4 times a day and now it's not, I'm getting gastritis. It woke me up at 4 and...

    I've been adding just one food every 3 or 4 days. I react to a lot (well it seems most foods) so I've had to go really slow. So far it's just canned fruit, squash, beets, carrots, meat and eggs. All very well cooked. I got impatient at first, but felt sick so decided I needed to go slow.

    For most lab tests, that it is too small of a difference to tell whether it is statistically meaningful.

    I've been feel really good - everything completely normal. I'm almost starting to believe that this might work long term. As of today, I'm down to a quarter of the daily pepto bismol I was on last summer (I found out the hard way that I have to wean myself off REALLY slowly). I can't wait though to eat some fresh veggies and fruit (bananas and avocado...

    We have pizza, cake etc. all the time at work or for rewards etc. I usually keep some stuff I really like at my desk and then eat that when the pizza etc comes in. That way I can socialize without feeling like I'm missing out. I don't think it's fair that my coworkers should miss out on the stuff they really like because of me. My diet is my responsibility...

    ARCHIVED New Job

    What kind of work do you do? I do a lot of fieldwork and it's nice not being in the office on a sunny day.

    A few more things. If you decide to do chelation, be very careful to get an experienced physician. There is certainly evidence that it can be beneficial for autism, but chelation can remove essential elements such as iron and calcium and can lead to lack of blood coagulation and even in very rare instances death if done improperly. Oral chelation therapy...

    recipezaar is my favourite. Also like the bon appetit magazine recipe site for fancier stuff.

    At first, I reacted to everything except chicken and mushy carrots. I have been able to add quite a few foods back in (so far zucchini, squash, beets, red meat, canned pears, peaches, apricots). After 2 weeks, I could also add eggs back in.

    I have no personal experience with chelation therapy, but I'm an environmental chemist (study the effects of arsenic, mercury etc). Mercury etc. bind really well to sulfur compounds which is why they are excreted into the hair and the concentration in the hair is a good measure of the concentration ingested. Chelation therapy uses sulfur compounds to bind...

    If you're still having problems ie bloating, it might be worthwhile to take a step back until you solve them. I can't do dairy and initially, no eggs so I did eat chicken+carrot soup (no onions or celery for me) for four days. It depends on whether you think the benefits outweigh the symptoms. Cooked fruit and veggies are much easier to digest than raw...

    The ski trip went super well, lots of fresh powder snow. No problems with the diet and I felt great, lots of energy, no stomache problems. I had lots of carrots, beets, zucchini and burgers+chicken. It's great to feel that I can get back out camping.

    Christine, A number of us for whom gluten free only doesn't work, have had success with the SCD. There have been some recent threads you might want to check out.

    The SCD is gluten free. The difference is that in addition to being gluten free, it is essentially free of all carbohydrates (corn, rice, potatoes, many types of beans) except those that are easy to digest such as simple sugars. For me, gluten free didn't work. I was free of D, vomiting and cramps within 2 weeks on the SCD. I also had to eliminate all...

    Backpacking gluten free is really doable. I just got back from a 3 day backcountry ski trip, I can't eat any grains or dairy at all and I felt well-fed. If I could eat grains, I would probably take: breakfast: cream of rice with a bunch of dried fruit (apricots, peaches, pears or berries) and a handful of nuts lunch: corn tortillas with tuna or...

    I didn't realize that 14 was a late start. I started at 15 and my mom at 16.
