    Just so you know, ACIPHEX causes B12 deficiency as a side effect. You might look into getting B12 w/ folate shots in the rumpus until you feel better. They aren't too terribly expensive, and you can do them yourself. Also, you might look into Cod Liver Oil pills for your vitamin D - it is more natural and easier to absorb than other supplements. If...

    You can make raw pie crust which tastes great. It is pecans along with dates. You put it in the food processor and process the nuts (until small) then add enough date to get it to slightly stick together. You then press it into a pie pan or tart pan. A dash of cayenne and salt help it out, and you can even put in raw cocoa nibs (chocolate) for an interesting...

    I don't use plastic containers such as tupperware at all, though not for gluten reasons. I'd say if they have scratches, they could be harboring gluten. As to using them at all - I avoid them because plastic may well leech into our food, and is not at all good for us. I use glass containers for everything, or sometimes stainless bowls I have with lids...

    Carla - did you have side effects from this? I'm tempted to take the children's variety to avoid overstimulating my delicate system. Plus, I only weigh 120#. On the other hand, I'd really want it to work. I'm very sensitive to nausea.

    Sugar feeds bacteria. So: zero sugar no sugary fruits (really none is best, but apple, kiwi, grapefruit, cranberry okay) no simple carbs (pasta, potato, bread, etc.) If you do this for a spell (a month?), you should get some relief. I've been doing this, and every time I add a date to something, I get slightly bloated and have the pooping issues...

    According to their website, all their teas are gluten free EXCEPT: green ginger honeybush lemon ginger tea lemonade

    It sounds like you should definitely have the test -- it is relatively inexpensive when compared to the chance that your ills could be fixed with diet change. lunch meat and bacon and possibly cheese - sulfites? preservatives? gluten? sugar? chocolate/coffee/coke- caffeine, sugar? (esp. since not diet coke) pasta/cereal - gluten/wheat/simple starches...

    I would go with rice milk, almond milk or hemp milk. Avoid the soy. So many folks are intolerant of it, that it's best to stay away. There is a rice yoghurt I've seen at health food stores as well...have not tried it - don't like yoghurt really. Make sure you get pacific brand rice milk or almond milk for gluten-free. Or there are others no doubt,...

    the spices themselves should not contain gluten - HOWEVER - some companies put gluten in spices to help keep them from clumping or whatever. I am not sure which brands are safe; I'm sure someone else will answer that, or you can search for safe spices.

    In food processor: pecans coconut same amount of both cinnamon dash dates enough to make it stick together slightly dash of salt dash of cayenne VERY good. good for you with the nuts (if you can digest them). Believe me, this is VERY tasty. I make it an eat it with a spoon sometimes.

    Also great for crunchy topping: pecans coconut same amount of both dates enough for it to start to stick together dash salt dash cayenne pepper cocoa nibs (raw chocolate - optional) put in food processor until it just sticks together; dump on top of bowl of fruit. No sugar. Raw. Goodness of nuts (if you can digest them). Vegan.

    I have Ani Phyo's book. Really like it so far.

    it was about 500 bucks. ouch! you can get a refurbished one for about 400 bucks. AND, Vitamix charges tax even though they sell from out of state. Oh well. Tonight we ate an all raw dinner: fettuccini made of zucchini (first you use the mandolin, then slice in thin strips) in a marinara sauce (tomatoes, basil, garlic, lemon juice, 1 date, salt,...

    I am doing the raw thing, but just started. In fact, I just got my Vitamix today, so a whole bunch more recipies will come available to me now. So far, so good. My skin looks better (right away), my poop is better, my energy is better. I still eat cooked food a couple times per day, but am working toward 90% or so raw. I think I'm a protein type metabolizer...

    If it does not have to be "brownies" exactly, here's something I concocted (through inspiration) last night in the kitchen: 1 cup of pecans (soaked overnight then dried again) 1/2 cup coconut handful of cried cranberries handful of raw cocoa nibs 5/6 dates or so dash salt dash cayenne pepper (weird, I know) some agave if you want it sweeter some...

    You could skip the bread and cereal... I get most of my fiber from veggies and nuts and figs and the like. Oh yeah, a GREAT way to get your fiber, is to have these yummy "pancakes": 2 cups whole flax seeds or 3 cups flax seed meal 2 tablespoons liquid coconut oil (I just put it near the stove or in the dehydrator for a minute to liquefy, is solid...

    It is actually part of flight or fight to have to evacuate your bowels. Isn't that weird? Like a lion is chasing you and pooping your pants is going to help? I am VERY influenced by stress. If I'm stressed out, I'll have tummy and bowel issues. I think that's normal, even for folks who don't have IBS or Celiac. But those of us that do have those things...

    Hi. I was having all sorts of problems after a year and a half gluten free. I was having D, which I never had (always on the C side of things), and just not right in a myriad of ways. I finally got the stomach flu or something; spent a night throwing up, which I do not do with very much grace. Needless to say, I changed after that. I was already being...

    I just made a great "cookie" ... more like a donut hole really. in the food processor: 1/2 cup pecans 1/2 cup coconut 3/4/5 dates (depends on how sweet you want it) handful of cocoa nibs (optional - these are raw chocolate - have good stuff for you in there) handful of dried cranberries dash of cayenne dash of salt (this is if your pecans were...

    I'm only starting. I'm probably 60% raw right now, but shooting for 80-90% by the end of the month. I've ordered a vita-mix high speed blender for doing the more gourmet stuff (in part to convince my partner that eating raw can be decadent too -- it would do him some good), and a dehydrator. I've also ordered a spiralizer that turns veggies into "pasta...

    I think that whether or not a low-carb diet works for a person depends on their metabolic type. Protein types will do well; carb types will not. It's probably a good place to start with any eating plan. I think I'm protein type. I can't stand to miss a meal (get cranky or tired); think about food all the time; crave the dark meat (even if I "think" it...

    Please beware cholesterol drugs - they are worse than high cholesterol. Do some google searches and you'll see what I mean. The connection between cholesterol and heart disease is correlative, not causative. The liver makes cholesterol. Did you know folks with too low cholesterol have problems? I think it's important to figure out if your body is making...

    Thanks all!

    Has anyone had an OAT test: organic acid test. It is a urine test. I am curious. It costs about 250 dollars, and tells you if you have the byproducts of bacteria and yeast in your urine...as well as heavy metals, protein digestion, fat digestion, etc. I'm just not sure it is worth the 250 - but I really want to get my digestion worked out before leaving...

    Hi guys. Anyone hear of a commercially available gluten-free miso? I'm not sure I'll eat it (waiting for Enterolab on my soy thing), but since it is fermented, it's not BAD soy, like most of it. BUT...it's traditionally made from barley, so most companies make a barley variety, thus, in my mind, making their equipment unsuitable to make nonbarley kind...
