    dried figs are high in fiber too. Yum yum. Make sure not to buy them in the bulk section (risky), but to find prepackaged ones. Calmyrna are my favorite variety.

    I would say that sugar free would help you. I am on zero sugar and zero fruit right now, trying to rid myself of an candida and bacteria in my intestines and elsewhere. Sugar feeds bacteria. It's only tough for the first few days, and if you can handle stevia (an herb), it can make it easier to handle the no sugar...it's sweet, but isn't sugar. Since...

    Interesting that two folks said antibiotics made them feel better. I'd read that antibiotics are pretty effective for large bowel bacterial dysbiosis, but not small bowel - that it tends to exacerbate it. Anyway, all my tests for giardia and the like came back negative, so now I'm thinking that SBBO might be the case, plus liver impairment and gall bladder...

    I like it BUT...I add sauteed brocoli and onion or shallot. If folks eat garlic, that would be good too. Then I add some mustard (someone taught me to do that to mac & cheese years ago) or tobasco or something. Then it is tolerable. Actually, it's pretty good in a demented sort of way.

    Anyone diagnosed with this? If so, what were your symptoms. I'm considering this as possibly my problem right now, so have done web research...but some real life reports would be great if anyone has any. Thanks.

    I found a great resource for interesting raw food recipes and ecologically minded stuff. Open Original Shared Link A lot of the recipes call for blenders and dryers and spiralizers -- but what I like about it is how interesting they are. They sound delicious!

    Hi all! I'm wondering if any of you have a Vitamix, and could tell me if you like it and why? Also, can it make salsas and such, or does it only blend? If anyone has the VitaPrep - I'm also interested in that. It seems to make chunky stuff AND blend. Any thoughts? p.s. adopting raw food diet, so need powerful blender - more than just fruit smoothies...

    If nothing shows up in the poop samples, we're moving on to possible hpylori or gall bladder or something. I'm getting some testing done at Enterolab too. Problem is right now my stomach is so sensitive,I can't really eat anything...so how I'm supposed to come up with four different pooping samples is beyond me. I used to be a vegetarian, but went back...

    Thanks for the tip. I know I don't want to take the drugs they suggest for giardia, so I'll be glad if it's not that. I'm not having independent abdominal pain, but I'm not happy while using the bathroom. It is more of a real sense of my own paristalsis - a sort of almost cramped state. Also, does anyone know about bacterial dysbiosis? Maybe I've...

    I was always the constipated celiac sufferer. Two and a half years ago, I quit wheat and dairy; One and a half years ago, I quit gluten. I've been better since then - not perfect, but lots better. The problems that have come up have mostly been bloating. Starting a few months ago, though, I've started having different celiac-related problems. Mostly...

    I made banana bread with it, and it tasted pretty coconutty - though everyone liked it. Then I made an applesauce cake with it, which did not taste coconutty.
  12. BRUMI1968
    I have not had similar testing/results as you, but have had similar symptoms. I had canker sores like crazy before going gluten free, and bloating - I mean painful horrible bloating, though I also got that from dairy. I was always constipated. I didn't have sinus stuff really, until recently when I've developed a couple allergies. The sinus rinse thing...

    buffalo jerky. not a bar, I know...but protein.

    We went gluten free after trying about three or four months of segregated counters and cutting boards. It has gone just fine. I allowed pizza in the house for a while, and still allow beer. But the other day a friend of ours brought over crackers and cheese, and i didn't want to seem nuts, so let it go. I got sick that night...who knows from what...but...

    Sometimes when I have these episodes, I'm in a stressful situation. Once I got terrible toilet troubles on my birthday as soon as I entered this building where someone worked who I did not want to see. I was perfectly fine until that moment, and when he left the party, I was fine again. I had just eaten out, so who is to say what it was....but I know that...

    Good thoughts everyone. Thanks. I do eat tiny amounts of lactose I'm sure - even just in sneaking tiny amounts of goat butter. That is one thing I am trying to be 100% free of while I figure things out. I don't, though, probably get it too much in other foods. It sounds like I might want to do the Enterolab testing. Other folks have had good luck...
  17. BRUMI1968
    Yeah, I don't want to give up eggs either. At this point, I don't really feel like giving up foods for a week or two is going to answer my question...i guess I have not been too good about keeping a diary...I'll start that today. But they really feel more like attacks - they include anxiety, tingling in my groin area, sudden need to evacuate bowels...

    hi all. well, i've been gluten free for a year and a half now, and things were going pretty well, up until a month or two ago. i started having random (yet somehow cyclical) episodes of very loose and incredibly smelly stool. I would have go go three or four times, then wouldn't go for a day or two afterward. Then normal for a spell, then it would hit...

    I know what you mean. Have you tried counting your calories? I realized at one point I was getting about 1200 calories a day...so I ate more. Carbs and grains have a lot of calories, so when we lose those, it's hard to eat enough. Veggies are calorie light. Anyway, I added potatoes (which i since had to cut out since their night-shadiness was bothering...

    Surely that reflects the number of celiac sufferers who were underweight to begin with, due to malabsorption and D. I lost 10 pounds quitting WHEAT and DAIRY, and another 5-10 quitting gluten. As to the bloating issues - try quitting dairy (first and foremost, especially if you also have constipation). Also nightshades, garlic, sugar. I get bloated...
  21. BRUMI1968
    Don't have time to read through what folks have already said, but I've got tons of experience with bloating. first, dairy, but you've quit that. and gluten, of course garlic, especially if eaten with nightshades nightshades sugar (feeding yeasties in the colon) not chewing too much at one meal? I still get it now and again, so haven't quite...
  22. BRUMI1968
    Red potatoes have less starch than others, so are better for diabetics and low carb folks; but they are just as much a nightshade as the other true potatoes. Tobacco is also a nightshade. Black pepper is not. Sweet potatoes/yams are not (marigold family). There is another thread here about low oxalates where folks talk a lot about nightshades. You...

    Hey, so glad you're here! I've read much of the work on your website and am impressed with the research and the presentation. I'm glad we've got folks out there in the community speaking out. Quick question I have yet to figure out the answer for. My Staffordshire Bull Terrier, aged 8, has TERRIBLE breath. His breath has always, from the time he was...
  24. BRUMI1968
    I can't answer most of your questions, but I can say this: IBS is not a disease - it is an indicator of something wrong. it is not the thing - it is the indicator. Of course you have irritable bowels...WHY is the most important question. It sounds like you're not doing diary, soy, eggs, etc....what else is in the oat flour cookies? I am not experienced...

    I will only eat out at two restaurants in my town. I have developed relationships with the kitchen. I warn them that I am coming in and ask if they have anything they can do for me that night. They are the two most expensive restaurants in town, so I don't eat out very often. But I find that they are willing to work around my issues. that said, I am...
