  1. Yesterday, stomachs upset, today sad faces....... Susan and Cecilia, please don't be sad Robbin, I understand where you are coming from. I have had many "moments" myself. Scared to eat anything, unsure about everything. Everytime I would just regroup and try to work with what I knew was safe and go from there. Hang in there. Cissie, my...
  2. Rachel, the tortillas are organic! I'm looking at my package right now. Made with Organic Grains, sprouted organic corn. They are so good I just steamed a couple and put some shredded chicken on them that I had cooked in the crock pit with sea salt, cumin, and garlic, and rolled them up. I always use my filtered water to cook...
  3. I got a headache trying out the spring water too, I guess that makes three of us...and I didn't think it tasted right. Rachel, I figured you read labels but wanted to mention it just in case. I was shocked to see carageenan on some brands of milk and cream ingredient lists. Another shake my head moment, they don't have to put that crap in there...
  4. Daxin, Carageenan is a hidden source of MSG, a problematic ingredient for some of us.
  5. Susan! I feel very bad about the dove too, but what can you do, nature took its course.
  6. Staring dingos and staring plums You know, a thought on sugar (some of you mentioned about having a problem with sugar in the last couple of pages). I remember reading something at one of the links for a low histamine diet and it keeps coming back to me, like another piece of the puzzle: "Its also important (at least initially) when on a low...
  7. Give the girls to me, I will dingosit the bored staring dogs for you. They will have lots to do here, chase the squirrels and bunnies, and the 2 yappy scotties next door I hope you are feeling better Susan, it's been a long couple of weeks for you and your family.
  8. Rachel, I'm very excited for you as well!!!!!! It's kind of weird to be feeling this way, like I have a solution! After so many years for me, I don't know what to do with myself A couple of things, have you checked your cream ingredients? I know that a few brands around here have carageenan added. Also, how much water are you suppose...
  9. I know what you mean Susan! I felt this way about yoga before I started it, it looked like to me a bunch of people rolling around on the floor stretching. I quickly learned that it can be very strenuous depending on what kind of form you do, and you really are using all of your muscles and several of the poses require great athletic ability and strength...
  10. Yeah, you got it right Donna. It's a form of exercise that focuses on elongating and strengthening muscles- especially the core muscles, abs, glutes, back- without bulking up, with an awareness of breath and proper body alignment. I'm also eating a little bit of rice and a little bit of corn, since I've cut so much else out I need it for energy...
  11. I have to say, I have been following a histamine restricted diet for about 4 or 5 days now and I haven't had one reaction. I think there really might be something to this for me. I think that since my histamine levels have always been so high that eating something that naturally has histamine, or causes a release of histamine from mast cells, even if...
  12. Can I get an Amen! Thanks for posting this Donna, it sounds like a very interesting read, lots of good info here.
  13. I think I will edit that It's my gluteus maximus muscles, muscles I did not realize I had until now that they hurt. I guess pilates really does work. Andrea, I am still a little confused frankly about the gliadin issue. When you do a search there is contradictory information about what grains contains gliadin. I found this definition: "Gliadin...
  14. Good morning all, I'm so far behind, I don't know where to jump in. How is everyone's stomach today? Everyone feeling better? I love reading Cissie's and rinne's posts! They must be our town narrators- or something like that? They tell their stories, weaving their words in such a captivating way, effortless, but so interesting....Do you gals write...
  15. Patti, Yep, just plain powdered sugar, but since it doesn't have the corn starch in it it gets a little clumpy. I buy mine at Vitamin Cottage, a local health food store here, in their bulk packaged store brand- so I don't know if you can find any in your neck of the woods. Wholesome Sweeteners, a brand carried at Whole Foods and Wild Oats now has...
  16. So sorry Patti, a lot of you have upset stomachs, you, Tavi, Donna, Andrea, little Seth..I hope you guys all feel better real soon
  17. It keeps it from caking together, so it's fine and powdery rather than clumpy. The powdered sugar at the health food stores usually does not have corn starch as an anti-caking ingredient. As always, check labels. Cecilia, it isn't the same without you popping in through out the whole day, now you really are breaking all of our hearts and...
  18. Chels, I started out majoring in nutrition in college, then I switched to exercise and sports science, went all the way up through that until I had to take advanced anatomy and disect cadavers and that's when I pulled out of there and switched my major yet again to social sciences. What I have been doing since isn't anything closely related to any of...
  19. Yes, you are right Andrea. And it is often used as a gelatin replacement, or thickening agent in alternative baking/cooking. Vegan's like it because it doesn't come from an animal source, and it's suppose to be high in minerals so very good nutritionally speaking. Although, I did notice it's a No-No on a couple of diets, like the Specific Carbohydrate...
  20. It does sound good doesn't it Patti.. It sucks to be me since I eliminated dairy already
  21. Rachel, this is amazing!! It will be smooth sailing from here Most of the battle, I think anyway, is finding a diet that you can live on with no or minimal reactions. If you do ask your doctor about the folic acid, I'd also be interested in knowing his response. I took a liquid folic acid supplement for quite a while too...
  22. That would be nice nikki
  23. I agree, there is nothing like homemade ice cream. My grandpa used to make it in one of those old fashioned ice cream makers with the hand crank, where you put the salt around it. Rachel did you buy the Cuisinart model??

    Is pilates weight bearing?
