    Whey is from dairy. Do watch out for "made in a facility that also processes wheat". There is at least one brand of cracker with the Celiac Foundation stuff on the front that has that label as well. Depending on your sensitivity, or how you choose to come down on the issue of cross contamination in manufacturing, you may want to avoid those things made...

    Do you mean the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma? I live in Bellingham, WA (near the Canadian border), but was raised in Tacoma. That part of Tacoma is so nice. Are you going into law?

    I'm mostly raw too. I eat nuts/seeds/veggies mostly, with some dried fruits (trying to give these up since they have too much sugar, or at least give them up with other foods as I think they are not combining well). I struggle with the question of meat or no meat. I was a vegetarian for 15 years, but started eating meat when I had to give up gluten...

    You might try rice milk or hemp milk. They are good in tea lattes, for example, or heated with a bit of cinnimon and nutmeg, and agave nectar or honey or something. That usually puts a few pounds on me. Avocados are also good.

    I don't eat much in the way of grains anymore, and I have lost weight (though I disposed of grains for bloating reasons). But I imagine if you used them sparingly, AND if they agreed with you, you might be alright, weight wise. You should check into the caloric count of each, and the glycemic load of each, because insulin response is important here. ...

    If you do go with coconut oil, try to find that is not chemically extracted. Desert Essence makes some great lotions that are gluten-free. Also, try some of the Burt's Bees lotions that are really thick. My doc told me that if the cream comes in a tub, that is better than a bottle, for serious problem dry skin. Good luck.

    Please consider METACAM over Rimadyl; it has fewer side effects. We had our old dog on Rimadyl for a couple days and she had terrible kidney problems. She had cancer, not arthritis, but nonetheless. Also, try some herbal remedies that work as well/better than asprin (which is also an option, though should be buffered as can cause stomach upset; and...

    Just to add another element: are you getting enough water? Dehydration can cause racing heart and shakiness, and usually drinking water quells extreme hunger. I only ask because I often get a stomach ache if I dont' drink enough water, and I often wake in the night too hot and thirsty with a tummy ache.

    I am affected by nightshades (potato/tomato/eggplant/peppers/tobacco) in the sense of it giving me weird poop. BUT...sometimes it has to build up. mashed potatoes are usually not every day, but my breakfast fried potatoes used to be. So don't rule out that it's the potato, either. Also, fried chicken is probably fatter than fried potatoes. Of course...

    thanks all!

    If you search the board, I know there used to be a thread about it - a support thread for those using it. I myself have never done it because I don't do dairy -- I scoped out the Paleolithic diet instead, which is similar on many fronts, though not quite the same. About your username -- do you live off the grid, as in solar, etc.?

    thanks.

    Hi all! I've had some pain in one breast and had it checked out today. The doc didn't think it was anything, but is having me do a mammogram anyhow (I'm 39 - so probably just an age/safety thing). I'm having it on Wednesday morning. Any tips? Any descriptions of the process?
  14. BRUMI1968
    I did hit the doctors office today and talked to the nicest ARPN. I'm definitely having her do my next 'annual'. Anyway, she didn't think anything seemed suspicious, but she is sending me to get a mammogram, as though that doesn't freak me out. My left breast was much ropier than the right, especially along the outside; but she said it all moved fine and...

    I have to take off (to the doctor, actually) so could only look briefly, but it looks like white stool could be gallbladder or liver problems, and most responses to the question online included seeing a doctor as soon as possible. Bilirubin is what makes it the color it is, and that is gallbladder/liver territory. Good luck.

    Not to feed the fire - but I don't think it's 99% to 1%. If 1 in 30 folks have Celiac, and even more have gluten intolerance, than the number must be more like 3%. With 290 million people in the US, that's almost 9 million people, more when you consider intolerance. 9 million customers is a lot. I don't believe I have a right to a food environment...

    I have been ' blessed' with tiny ones, so no bra - for at least 20 years or so. Sometimes I don a pretty one that I know I'll take off soon (if you catch my drift), but I haven't worn a bra the day through maybe since high school. Even if I wanted to, they usually make bras at 36 to be cup B or bigger. No can do - would be all air in there. I need an...

    Does anyone drink ionized water? If so, have you noticed any differences?

    Hi all! Has anyone had Lymphatic Drainage massage done? I'm curious. I have a pain in my left breast/maybe lymph area, and am thinking that I've been dtoxing really slowly too, so maybe this is an option for me.

    Well, I do have two hungry hippos here at home: partner and daughter: both of whom love miso soup...so that would always work. It's just such a commitment, that large tub. (This from the woman who just bought a HUGE drum of coconut oil, knowing that once she spends 50 bucks on some foodstuff, she's libel to stop tolerating it.) Okay. Next time I'm at...

    But also remember that this can happen to anyone now and again. If it keeps happening, you might consider taking a prebiotic, like Digest Gold. I was having D and undigested food for a couple weeks, and started the pills again - now much better...absorbing again!

    I wonder if the gluten milk cows are getting is from winter hay. Or if it is from some junk they are being given. Otherwise, they should just eat pasture grass. Organic milk is a good investment, anyone, I've read one of the more important things to get organically made. Raw milk, if it's available in your area, is good too. It is beef cows that one...

    I wonder if it would be more effective to create a special interest group or lobby of sorts, and then work directly with companies, rather than the government. The cynic in me knows that the FDA (under Donald Rumsfield) okayed Aspartame, and that's been nothing but trouble. (Previous to his appointment as the head of the FDA, he was the attorney or on...

    the tea is herbal, so I don't think so. And green tea doesn't get me the same way, and it does have some tannins...so probably not. thank you, though.

    I've been having breast pain for about a week or so now, pretty strongly, and maybe for a month or two really mildly. It is only my left breast, it is on the outside, and my partner and I noticed it is bigger there than the other breast. I'm going to go see the doctor; but does anyone have any thoughts? (Not normally a breast-pain type period person...
