  1. According to Dogtorj, cow's milk has only become a major component in the diet in the past 500 years, with the arrival of mass dairy businesses. Previously people mostly kept goats and sheep, which were more manageable. I find that goat cheese is fine. I hate the taste of goat's milk, so I don't use it. Sheep's milk cheese give me the same casein reaction...
  2. Have you tried goat cheese? I put that on my pizza, and it doesn't bother me like cow's milk cheese.
  3. The only difference between black pepper and white pepper should be that the while pepper has had the black hulls removed, unless there is some sort of cc picked up in processing, which I always thought was purely mechanical. I wouldn't be able to tell, as cc doesn't bother me.
  4. I do the biscuits, sausage, and gravy thing with gluten-free biscuits and gravy made from rice flour. It's gooood....
  5. Cool site, but darn, not one in northern New England.
  6. If it achieves general distribution, I'll buy it. It would be nice to have an occasional beer.
  7. The goat cheese is ok, but the sheep's milk cheese gives me the same symptoms as cow's milk.
  8. Keep an open mind. It could be a mistake to assume that there is only one culprit. I had to give up dairy and red wine at the same time.
  9. I would suggest you continue to plan meals as you seem to be doing, but cut back on or eliminate entirely the gluten free food substitutes. Just provide a greater quantity of the healthy foods you've been providing. There are plenty of recipes for gluten-free baked goods such as muffins and cookies better than any store-bought.
  10. I found that by following links from the Jimmy Dean website.
  11. Well does it for you? You can answer your own question better than we can, though you know that it's very bad for you in the long run. Both those things are easily prepared gluten-free.
  12. You didn't say if your doctor put you on a gluten-free diet. Considering how many tests he ran, and is still not sure, why don't you just go gluten-free for a month and settle once and for all whether it's making you sick? I'd hate to think he's planning on waiting to treat your gluten intolerance when you're at death's door.

    ARCHIVED Yikes!

    Well, I'd have thought that if they were able to make a debilitating illness go into remission, they probably ought to want to keep it that way. Is he going to monitor her progress or wait til she's half dead and then give her another biopsy to see how she's doing?
  14. I use NOW brand 400 unit d-alpha Tocopheryl. The following information is on the label: What does the label on yours say?
  15. It's possible that you are sensitive to some component that is not present in all forms of the food, or that a small amount won't bother you, while a large amount eaten on an empty stomach will for sure. Why don't you try a challenge? Give up all forms of something that bothers you for a couple of weeks, then eat the form you suspect is OK and see what happens...
  16. My parents were living in an assisted living facility where the food was awful. My mother explained that the menus came from the office in another building and went to the kitchen. Purchasing was done by the office, and materials were delivered to the kitchen, which was staffed by people who were hired strictly on the basis of their being willing to accept...
  17. Their phone number is (510) 346-3146.
  18. You also might want to specify pasta and pastries, which everybody thinks is made from white.
  19. What I have read is that people who have had major surgery are in such dire need of calories that it is acceptable to serve high-fat food, at least until they start to make a recovery.
  20. These are all great, but maybe she needs to be more personally acquainted with the gory details of your symptoms. I think she's sheltered by her ignorance of what you really go through.
  21. Isn't 'colic' just one of those symptomatic diagnoses that mean they've given up looking for what's really wrong with the child? Nobody would tell an adult that it's normal to be screaming in pain and unable to sleep, why do we think it's ok for babies?
  22. Several things to keep in mind... Being a hypochondriac doesn't rule out celiac. IBS often clears up when the patient goes on a gluten-free diet against their doctor's wishes. Often it's an diagnosis of symptoms - We don't know what you have, but we're so sure it's not celiac that we didn't bother to test for it. The first real symptoms of celiac you are...
  23. It sounds like the doctor thinks his celiac has been cured. I'd worry about a doctor like that.
