    I really like this recipes in this magazine. Unfortunately, I am missing Summer 2004, Fall 2004, Spring 2005 and they are sold out. I would love to get my hands on these copies, particularly the pumpkin recipes in Fall 2004. Would anyone be willing to part with their copies (I'd pay for the cost of the magazine and shipping) or would be willing to photocopy...

    Gluten free changed mine too. My periods were the opposite of yours - very heavy and long (average 12-15 days). Since going gluten-free 3 months ago, they're now pretty normal, about 5 days. Woohooo.

    I have collagenous colitis, not celiac disease. It kept getting worse (D for a large part of the day, thyroid damage, damage to the teeth from lack of calcium, anemia) and the doctor wanted to put me on steroids. I said no way. I'll try changing my diet. There is some evidence that c. colitis might be related to gluten intolerance so I tried a gluten...

    Maybe this is just semantics, but as a molecular biologist, I find the title somewhat misleading. We cannot change our genes. If we have celiac disease or other diseases, those genes are permanent and may be be passed onto our children. We can however, by altering our diet, change whether those genes actively produce the proteins (are expressed) which...

    Mally's mama - I'm mormon too. Unfortunately, I can't eat any grains right now (even rice or corn) without getting sick, so for now I've given up on the bread part.

    Um - the foul gas is gone too. I'm doing a 4 day backcountry ski trip in a week and my cabin mates will certainly appreciate that. I'm a little nervous about the food for the trip, but the outfitter is taking our packs in by snowmobile and said that I could put an extra duffle bag of food on the sled. We'll be cooking over a woodstove so I think I...

    Good suggestions. I'll starting adding some more fats ie olive oil and ghee and avocados. I can't tolerate dairy at all (no cheese etc.) or nuts (almond butter and peanut butter are so far problems).

    I've had a major improvement so far (6 weeks). I had D for about 2 hours a day, nausea, occasional vomiting, cramps and gas. I've had no D, nausea or vomiting at all. I've had cramps only when I tried some new foods that didn't agree (spinach, yoghurt, cheese, ground nuts). I'm down to 70% of the peptobismol that I started with. I do have collagenous...

    Donna -LOL - I did exactly the same thing on F night with the banana pancakes. I made one big pancake in the pan and couldn't flip it over. It was pretty mangled by the time it was all cooked, but it tasted good. I tried again yesterday with much small pancakes and they actually looked like a pancake. Today I had chicken + carrot soup for breakfast...

    I never seem to get bit by mosquitos even when my friends are suffering. Blackflies (hordes of them on them on the west coast of canada, not sure if they have them in the US outside Alaska) unfortunately love me. I got over 200 bites on my ankles in under 10 minutes and they are so much itchier than mosquitos.

    I'm just taking the spinach out. I've had a couple of weeks with other foods (carrots, beets, zucchini, diluted grape juice, meat) and no problems so it's definitely the spinach. I'm feeling a lot better this morning and might try applesauce this weekend.

    A bit frustrated today. I tried well cooked spinach Tues. evening and had a strong reaction to it so I'm feeling crappy again today. Two steps ahead, one back. It's hard to be patient.

    Here's a quick reply, can send more if you more details. Artificial sweeteners vary in structure. Some such as sucralose are derivates of sugars where part of the molecule has been changed so as to make the molecule undigestible by humans. Others such as apartame are completely different molecules than sugars. It is possible, in theory, to break disacharides...

    ARCHIVED Butter?

    corinne replied to a topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips

    I cook the butter for a long time until it just starts to brown to ensure that all of the milk proteins coagulate and then put it through a fine strainer. The ghee is completely clear so I doubt there is any casein left. I react strongly to casein, but have no reaction to ghee.

    Sucralose is manufactured by subsituting chlorine for 3 of the hydroxy groups on the sucrose molecule. The chloride groups are bound very tightly to the carbon. It's not the same as the free chloride that you see as salt or in many foods. These chloride molecules make sucralose difficult to digest by humans. 10-27% of sucralose is absorbed into the bloodstream...

    I'm definitely not a cook, but I'm learning with this diet. For pork shoulder roast, I put it in a roasting pan with the lid on at 350 until the internal temp of the roast is 170. It takes about 2 hours in my oven for a 5 pound roast. If you want it moister and can handle some fruit, put sliced apples or peaches on top before you put it in the oven.

    I eat chicken + carrot soup for breakfast and lunch. Hopefully, I can get a little more variety soon. I take two large chicken legs/thighs, 15 carrots and about a gallon of water, put it into a big pot in the evening and boil it with the lid off for a couple of hours, then let it sit in the fridge overnight. The next morning, I skim off the fat with...

    I've been on the SCD for 6 weeks and have had no D for 4. The improvement in D was rapid; the improvement in gas and cramping have been slow and steady. Caffeine is a stimulant and will make your gut more active hence increase D, cramping etc. So if you can, it would be a good idea to cut out coffee, chocolate etc. for a while until things heal up.

    I've been on the diet for 6 weeks now and I feel really healthy (see post a bit earlier in this thread) so I'm not worrying for now about the low weight. I did a 8 mile snowhoe last weekend and felt great (except for tired feet ). It takes about 3 days for food to completely go through my system, so I add a new food Monday, see what happens, then try...

    The first month on the SCD, I lost about 10 pounds. I'm about 5' 9, 120 lb so I need to gain some. The last few weeks, my weight has steadied. I hope to gain weight later when I can eat nuts and maybe dairy or dried fruit. The plus side is that I'm absorbing what I do eat a lot better. My iron levels are normal. If possible, I get SCD meds, but...

    I'm another one in the SCD club. I have collagenous colitis not celiac disease. There's a strong link between collag. colitis and celiac and my mother is celiac. About 70% of people with this type of colitis eventually have symptoms reduce or disappear on a gluten free diet. I tried gluten free for a while but the more rice and corn I ate, the sicker...

    Rice, corn, quinoa etc. have been causing me as many problems as gluten so I've been on the SCD for the last month. I found out you can buy pecan flour online and it came in the mail yesterday. I made pancakes for dinner last night - 1 cup pecan flour, 2 eggs, 1 tbsp honey, pinch of salt, pinch of baking soda. They were soooo good. Maybe they tasted...

    My doc. found gastritis too when he did the endoscopy and he said there was no need to look at it further since I was young and work in a stressful job and it would go away when things calm down.

    I'm moving to San Luis Obispo in July for work. Montana is beautiful but I can't wait for the warmer weather (it was 30 below a week ago) and for better food shopping. The closest town big enough to carry a good selection of gluten free foods is 300 miles. I love internet shopping.

    I tried just gluten free for a while, but symptoms kept getting worse so I finally started with just carrots and lamb and have been slowly adding foods back in. So far all grains including wheat, oats, corn, rice and quinoa, potatoes, beans, soy, fish, shrimp, dairy including cheese and caffeine and raw fruits or vegetables give me diarrhea etc. Right now...
