    You could just need more calories. If dairy is a large part of your diet, giving it up is like skipping a meal each day.

    When it comes to this disease, doctors forget that the oath they took says, "First, do no harm."

    CFS is one of those "symptom" diagnoses, like IBS. It doesn't say anything about what the person has, just that the doctor gave up looking after running all the obvious tests. A lot of people with chronic fatigue syndrome find it goes away completely on a gluten-free diet.

    The safest spices are the ones you buy singly, in bulk or in jars, with no additives. Make your own blends and you won't have to worry about anonymous ingredients glutening you. Do you have reasons to believe you are sensitive to salicylates? If not, you won't need to avoid them. If you think you are, it would probably be best to find out for sure.

    You are getting far more fluoride in your diet than is recommended, even if the recommendations were not controversial. You need to switch to an unfluoridated bottled water. Fluoride taken either internally or externally cannot repair damaged enamel nor damage to any other part of the teeth. The purpose of the fluoride is to grow the teeth harder during...

    I have a Open Original Shared Link that I've used a few times. Do your research before buying a soymilk maker. The cheaper ones don't cost that much less, but they break within a month and get terrible reviews. I would be worried about buying an appliance off a website that has nothing but a brief uninformative commercial clip and a "buy now" button.

    Do you desperately need the cash she's getting from that job? I think she should stay home, regain her strength, and learn how to live gluten free this summer, not burn herself out over some job that pays almost nothing.

    Knowing that I love goat cheese, I did a goat's milk challenge about a month ago in the hope that I might be able to use it for general purposes. Unfortunately I determined that I dislike it so much I'd rather go without milk than use goat's milk. Such is life.

    There are two kinds of coconut oil. The purified kind is flavorless, and a good substitute for butter in baking. I get it at Walmart - LouAna brand. Virgin coconut oil has coconut flavor, so you can't use it for everything. You can give a child rice milk, but it is a beverage, not a food with a similar nutritional profile to milk.

    There is no science behind this. You can't reprogram your cells not to react through magetism, and for sure that's not a nuclear magetic resonance machine he's got there. They cost millions and are designed to diagnose by imagiing. I could find no reference to this on the internet. Sorry.

    I've found from working with Asian rice noodles that if you soak them in warm water until flexible prior to ,boiling, they not only cook quicker but have a bouncier texture when cooked. Some of the noodlle I find in the Asian markets are very thick, like spaghetti or long Italian macaroni, and they get doughy and make a sticky mess when boiled for 20 minutes...

    What about nuts? Are almonds out? Coconut oil?

    With some people it takes a long time. I think it depends on how sick a person is.

    Casein is the main protein in cow's milk. Lactose is milk sugar. While you can have a dairy product with no lactose - like a hard, aged cheese - or with no casein - clarified butter - generally they have both in them. Give dairy up for a week to see how you feel. Even if you have yourself tested and come up negative, you may still find heath improvements...

    Hydrogenated coconut oil has a higher melting point than unhydrogenated coconut oil, so it will be solid year round no matter where you live. If you find a coconut oil that is liquid at room temperature year round, it is fractionated, or chemically broken into smaller molecular fragments. I doubt you'll find this in any sort of a food store. I buy it from...

    Actually, being doctors means they have spent many years working such long hours that they have no choice but to eat the sorts of foods available in vending machines, fast food joints, and hospital coffeeshops. They probably have no idea what the lifestyle of a person who consumes whole foods, freshly prepared might be. They can't even imagine it being possible...

    To what extent and for how long was your daughter gluten-free? From what you've been saying it sounds like you're still working out the particulars of a gluten-free diet. Sometimes they get really upset when people take the initiative and try to improve their lives. They think if they keep you in the dark you'll stay the course.

    You can make good bread gluten-free, but it's not going to be like wonder bread, nor like a crusty artisan loaf. It will be moister and a bit heavier.

    I don't think that there's anything about being a child which predisposes one to complain about stomach pain. This is probably a symptom you might have thought about if you hadn't thought it was normal. Did you have stomach pains at that age? Maybe you should get blood tests yourself.

    I used to get swollen lymph glands when I lived a more physically stressful life. One particularly painful one was treated with and responded to antibiotics.

    ARCHIVED Bmi?

    To a great extent they have made arbitrary decisions where to draw the line. There are plenty of people who don't fit into the framework. Even among the perfectly healthy, there are lots of people who are just plain thin, and stay that way all their lives. For them it is as hard to gain weight and keep it on as it is for hefty people to lose it and keep it...

    My gum problems cleared up - pre-gingivitis. If you have enamel problems, that is a different issue.

    That is so pathetic. Here she's been taking advantage of your hospitality all along, but when you call her on it she makes a lame excuse. It's as if she was intending to keep doing this until you asked her point blank.

    A "bap" is a bread roll in Europe.
