    I can definitely testify to it not being a very peaceful wake up call There was one woodpecker who liked to do his thing on something metal on my roof, I don't know if it was part of the chimney or what, but it sounded very much like a jackhammer in my room at the crack of dawn. The cost of everything is definitely stressful. I don't even...

    I am also one that always had C, years of it, never D. In fact D wasn't even in my body's vocabulary it didn't know the meaning of the word. Once I went gluten-free, I couldn't really tell if I had been accidentally glutened because I didn't experience immediate noticeable GI symptoms. Also my body has delayed and accumulative responses to the things...

    Bless your heart! Hives and skin rashes are tricky, if not impossible, to pin point the cause. You said you were inside and recovering from a sunburn? Some hive reactions are triggered by the sun, or heat and sun induced, so that could very well be a possibility. From what I understand prednisone might take a couple days for everything to go away, if...

    The items are a little pricey unfortunately, but it's so nice when I have a craving for a bagel to actually be able to eat one, gluten-free and all!! And the crackers imo are fabulous, again so nice when entertaining or around the holidays to have a nice tray of crackers and dips, and assorted cheeses, nobody even misses the gluten. My gluten eating...

    Having a special diet is challenging, especially at that age when everyone goes out for pizza or grabs a quick hamburger. Smoothies is a great idea in the morning (Juliebove) I didn't even think of that. If you go to your local healthfood store you can find protein powders made from rice and other things that are free of the allergens on your list-...

    My dear miamia, I have been so worried about you. Thank you so much for touching base and letting us know how you are. I think it's just fine to take a break with the chelation, and I'm glad your doctor is in agreement. It has been so hard on you. As I told you before it was very hard on my body as well. What helped me a little is I would drive...

    What kind of a rash is it? Is it small little bumps like classic uticaria/hives? Or are they larger splotchy spots? Is there swelling in the areas you are breaking out? You said it burns, is there a lot of heat in the generating in the breakout areas, and are they painful? It might be worth going to the ER, they might give you prednisone or depending...

    Thanks for the clarification. I didn't want to ruin the poll You'd be suprised the discrimination of not having an "official" diagnosis.

    Hi Karen, I was never diagnosed, but have been eating gluten-free for about 2-3 years. So there is also a significant percentage of people who aren't necessarily celiacs but live a gluten-free lifestyle due to gluten causing symptoms, and in some cases serious illness has been the result after years of ingesting gluten.

    Are you ok with legumes? Breakfast: I am thinking breakfast burritos made with beans, veggies, a little turkey sausage, and avocado with salsa and wrapped in a rice tortilla. gluten-free cream of rice cereal with berries and bananas. gluten-free cereals without the other allergens you are avoiding and rice milk. gluten-free hashbrowns or oven...

    I am getting in on this at the tail end so I apologize if this is all old news, this is just so shocking to me. I have followed Martha Stewart over the years and knew she had a daughter, but I didn't realize Alexis had her own radio show. Reading through her responses I am just speechless, how can somebody be so void of empathy and compassion, even after...

    Great topic Bev! It breaks my heart to read everyone's personal stories, so much suffering. I was diagnosed with depression when I was 14 or 15, I know I had it much earlier than that though. I remember feeling so supressed, trapped in a darkness, and didn't have much of a zest for life at a really really young age, which I don't think is typical for...

    That is so true, those Cuban sandwiches in last ep had a serious side of Howie sweat in them. He seems to be a good chef and in most of the challenges I have liked all the things he's made, but I don't think I like his attitude so much , it makes it hard to root for him.

    Oh Andrea, I am so sorry about your back. Hope the rest and heating pad over the weekend did the trick. Do take it easy. Donna- yay for taking the first steps to get your mold testing

    I don't know if this bakery and their products have been mentioned before but I wanted to put it out there, and they definitely get my thumbs up. They are a dedicated gluten free and nut free facility out of Colorado Springs. Right now the products can be purchased at several locations throughout Colorado, and in a few stores in NJ, UT, IA, and WA. Products...

    Donna- sorry about your rough night, and eye goop . Is that the same eye symptom that Rachel used to have with the goopy, sticky, stinging eyes? Hi rinne! Miamia- I sent you a pm a few days ago during your move, I've been thinking about you. I'm so glad you got all moved out of the old place and into a new healthy space. I hope you get...

    I can't speak on this personally but I have a few friends who have been/or are members and they love the program. The feedback I have gotten from them is that it's great because they get in, do their 30 minute workout, and get out so it really fits in to their busy schedule, and they have gotten results.

    Thanks for the update on Morgan, she is such a sweetheart. I'm sure she looks gorgeous with her braces Tell her hello for me. My mom visited the Biltmore Estate years ago when she was visiting family who live in the area. She brought back tons of pictures but said they don't even do the place justice it is so beautiful. I did mistake it for...

    Hi Jin, I was told about the healing sleep between the hours of 7am and 9am when I was being treated for adrenal stress, I did not however get an explanation of why- I should have asked . I agree parasites are scary and many years ago when I was first told they were a problem for me I kind of freaked out. Over the years I had to change my...

    I also give a thumbs up to the Whole Foods Gluten Free Bakehouse items I have lots of other food allergies/intolerances so I can't eat most of the items, but my favorites are: morning glory muffins, blueberry muffins, and the cherry streusel muffins, the prairie bread and the sun dried tomato garlic bread, the almond scones and the biscuits...

    I have a couple people in my life who are now dealing with serious liver issues, last stage cirhosis and cancerous tumors in the liver. It breaks my heart if something as simple as eliminating gluten from the diet could have been a preventitive measure, or something that could have been reversed, in these two cases. That's great news your liver tests...

    When I don't sleep well it's the same for me, maybe not waking every hour, but waking up several times during the night. It's usually when I haven't eaten so well and things aren't agreeing with me and I am reacting. I'll usually have a lot of pain in my back too, like around the kidney area or the spleen and sometimes my hives cycle at night, which hives...

    I agree that cleansing of any kind, especially in an ill individual, is risky without being under the supervision of some kind of medical professional. Cilantro especially, it mobilizes mercury (and other heavy metals) and can cross over the blood brain barrier. That's serious stuff there.

    Has there been a connection made between diseases of the liver (i.e cirhosis) or the presence of tumors/cancers in the livers and having celiac?
