    Well, I've never had problems with heartburn before on a regular basis (more the type that I deserved due to eating something weird), but now have a quite acidy feeling all the time. I've been trying to eat even more alkaline than I normally do...so far, it's only helped a bit. I do notice I can't tolerate my favorite tea, Bengal Spice, w/o getting the...

    I got that email as well. Thanks so much. At my local co-op, they only sell the huge container of the chickpea variety, but the small containers of the others. It is something I'd want to test out - I don't really eat legumes either, but it is fermented, so it should be better than non-fermented.
  3. BRUMI1968
    Well you're not making this very easy now, are you? what about oils? what kinds of oils do you eat?
  4. BRUMI1968
    what about sugar? what about acid/alkaline balance? what about exercise? what about stress? any of those sound like maybe a direction to investigate?

    are you getting enough water? are you eating sugars and sugary fruits/starchy veggies? (feeds yeast/bacteria) - makes me bloat hidden dairy/soy/gluten/egg? If you eat lots of fiber, make sure you drink lots of water. anyway, probably not helpful....but those are my thoughts. Sherri

    I have Celiac and ITP (Idiopathic thrombocytopenia purpura). The ITP is when one does not have enough platelets - it's autoimmune. I'm no longer on any medication and I'm just fine. But you should have your son checked - a CBC will do the trick (Complete Blood Count).

    zero sugar zero fruit zero starchy veggies lots of (if you can tolerate) coconut oil garlic onion RAW sauerkraut I find once I start eating fruit or sugar again, the problems come back. For me it is both bacteria and yeast, though always sort of subclinical -- I can tell I'm building it up just in the way I smell and feel. Anyway, look into...

    There was a very recent thread on SBBO which I started (a couple weeks ago?). A couple folks said they felt better with their antibiotics. I had read that small bowel bacteria did not do so well with antibiotics - could make it worse in the long run - but the actual folks who had used antibiotics said they felt better. I don't know if I have this, but...

    I don't know how expensive the blood test is...I had insurance when I got mine. I will say that lots of folks with Celiac Disease have troubles with yeast and parasites as well, due to years of faulty digestion. You could do a candida cleanse diet, and then add back gluten - then if you get had you'll know to be suspicious of gluten. You could go gluten...

    I'm pretty sure all the misos have soy, and that the rice or barley or chickpea is just the medium. However, I've got an email into the company. Unless you're telling me the packaging says it does not contain soy?
  11. BRUMI1968
    Just got my Interolab results back, and turns out I am sensitive to soy (don't really eat any, so not a huge concern...but was hoping for the miso). Oh Well! Thanks to all.

    Along with giving up grains and beans (and dairy/meat if you are going raw vegan), the eating of the foods raw leaves the enzymes in tact, instead of destroying them. Also: water fiber vitamins minerals I've noticed right away the water content in food. I am so much more hydrated now than I was. Also, my digestion seems so much better. Maybe...

    WOW! I guess there aren't probably pull dates on things like tea. Anyway, if it still tastes good...... Good drinking. By the way, I did discover there are three or four Tazo teas that have gluten. I forget what they are, but if you search the forum for Tazo, if you drink it ever, it will tell the kinds with gluten.

    Whew! I just checked and my Celestial Seasonings Chamomile Tea says Gluten Free. It is the old packaging, where it has the label gluten free under the 100% natural box. The new boxes have Gluten Free on the bottom. Nonetheless, tell us what the company says. Thanks.

    Open Original Shared Link This site is pretty interesting. I like its glyemic load rating, and its completeness rating. It also rates protein amino acid profiles, so one could combine things to get the full spectrum if they are not animal eaters.

    the spiralizer is still not here. I didn't go with the saladdco, or whatever it's called, because too many folks said it was shoddy. So I bought another kind...and it's not here yet. I mean I ordered a month ago! I keep forgetting to call them. Thanks for the reminder. You can run zucchini through the mandolin into the thinnest slices, then cut them...

    ARCHIVED Fiber?

    BRUMI1968 replied to sarad1's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    I wonder if it isn't a bit of a misconception that whole grains have a lot of fiber. For the most part, other foods out-do them. Beans are high in fiber for sure, and some fruits/veggies are pretty high as well. i.e. avocado 11.4 grams; bread 2 grams. According to the mayo clinic's listing of high fiber foods, there are many fruits/veggies that...

    Got my Enterolab back today. Well, I've got two copies of DQ3 and one copy of DQ2 (subtypes 2 and 8). I called my Mom today, and my sister. Seems if you've got two copies of the gene, then both parents gifted one to you. Thus, my mom can no longer assume out loud that it is my father's side that gave me my propensity. I'm hoping this spurs my mom and...

    I'm totally with you. My dad (and I'm 39 years old) always acted as though I was just being difficult or something, exaggering things. Then he got diagnosed with it too (DH - the skin instead of the digestive tract) and now he acts as though no one understands him. Just two months ago he was harassing me. The irony is, he's not as careful as I am, so...

    I think it took the whole first day, and part of the second day to really show up, or maybe as long as a week. I keep thinking I can add back the sugar (it's been a month), and so far, no can do. I have been able to add like one fig per day, and I've eaten a banana or two, but for the most part, zero zero zero. They say three months to six months....

    Welcome! It's great that you work for a health care provider aware of Celiac Disease. I've told my therapist (he has Celiac too) that anyone with anxiety disorder should be tested. I really believe that. I have had zero panic attacks since going gluten free (well, except when I get glutened...) Anyway, hope the board will be of help to you; I know...

    How's your liver? In Chinese medicine, the liver being stressed can wake us up earlier than need be; and cause headaches. Just a thought. Dehydration is another. But I've never had migraines. You're not eating aspertame are you? -- that's a known trigger. Wish I could help more. Good luck. -Sherri

    If you can tolerate flax, here's an interesting way to get fiber in your diet: make "pancakes": flax seeds or flax meal (2 cups seeds/3 cups flax meal liquid coconut oil (coconut oil melted near a burner or in the dehydrator) (2TBS) maple syrup (1/4 cup - 1/2 cup?) water (1/4 cup) You mix amounts of these (really, it's quite flexible, I gave hints...

    I'd notice two things: 1) dairy. this bloats me in an instant 2) sugar. this feeds bacteria, which can cause bloating. quitting sugar is what finally stopped my bloating, after 37 yeas.

    sauteed veggies and poached egg is good. I like zucchini. Also, sauteed napa cabbage with salt and pepper with egg on top is really good too. Sounds weird, but I figured it out after having asperegus with poached egg at a french restaurant once. asperagus zucchini brocoli cabbage all good
