    My partner got them a few years ago after having a bit of a midlife crisis then drinking himself into virtual death (was hospitalized, etc....but is alright). After that, he had them. His are helped by: reduced stress (obviously), using cottonelle moist wipes instead of t.p. (this makes a HUGE difference for him), taking fiber supplementation (right...

    I was using Dr. H - but when I called and found out the yellow colored face moisturizer (I foget the name) had wheat germ oil, I quit. They said it was gluten-free, but I was not into taking chances. I switched to My Chelle, which I like. (I like Dr. H. better though, to be honest). As a sidenote...I've noticed I need face lotion less than I used...

    Would this work for felalfil I wonder, which normally has bulgar in it?

    I recently added meat back to my diet after 16 years of vegetarian and two years of vegan. I tried to do raw last summer, and it went alright, but when the weather cooled down, I found it difficult. I think I added meat back out of frustration for lack of foods, especially when I decided to go grain free. I have been trying to do the Paleolithic diet for...

    Hi. You definitely need to read on this site and elsewhere about going gluten-free, especially since you are pregnant. There is a book called "gluten free for dummies" which is a decent place to start. There are also folks on here who have a newbie packet. You should post a post asking for it. Good luck to you! It's going to be difficult, but it's...

    I have spent my life bloated - but now am rarely bloated. I would try a few things. 1. no gluten (obviously) 2. no dairy (second most important) 3. reduce sugar I think the sugar thing ended up being the biggest reducer of my bloat, I'm assuming since I was feeding bacteria in the gut or something - yeast or something. The least bloated I have...

    Doctors rely heavily on the Diagnostic Code book that has more to do with insurance companies than with human beings. Everyone has different symptoms; some folks have no symptoms; some folks have NO DIGESTIVE SYMPTOMS at all ... so the books that docs look at (or computer programs or whatever) that help them bill your insurance -- and their medical school...

    Hi and welcome to the site. I don't know of any home remedies for being glutened - I so far have not have quick responses to being glutened, except once, and that was bizarre since C was always my problem and not D, and D I had and how. Anyway, there is an enzyme pill called Gluteneze that might help some folks who have been glutened. It is not for taking...

    I get the exact same thing, and have been trying to figure out what triggers it. It seems to happen with less wonderful poops - very "bile" colored toilet water, less firm than I would like. But the pain itself does not move. It gets better and worse, but is there for a few days at a time. I have been one year off the gluten. I think I've figured out...

    I have long been sensitive to heat, as well as you, but I am virtually unable to sweat. I get stinky underarms, but rarely any wetness from sweat anywhere -- even in a sauna, which is why I can't take saunas, because I overheat and feel like I'm going to pass out. I would say I've gotten better with heat, but less tolerant of cold. Anyway -- I would...

    I would definitely avoid dairy as well, I can't remember if you said you did. The smallest amount of dairy gives me terrible constipation and cramps in the intestines. Other causes of non-gluten intestinal pain for me are nuts - mainly walnuts. Also, eating sugar gives me abdominal pains. I think I likely get yeast build-up when I eat a lot of sugar....

    Well, it's been one year gluten-free. I've certainly learned a lot in that time. When you're not uncomfortable all the time, life is really different (brighter, better, saner). I don't need to seek out comfort anymore, but can do things like go camping and, more importantly, can express myself better in situations where I need to express needs or power...

    I'm 38, and have back problems for as long as I can remember. I think it is due to a bad posture when I was a kid. Often girls are encouraged, in order to look cute, to jut their hips out. So that is how I've been standing for all these years, hips slightly jutted out, knees locked, etc. Any "work" I do, like walking, hiking, climbing, lifting, etc.,...

    corn tortillas right on the grill red potatoes, butter/oil, onions in foil in coals or on grill omlettes apples and peanut butter salmon burgers/hamburgers/garden burgers Just went camping for the first time in thirty years. It was fun, except I couldn't sleep at all. Folks say that's the first night for you, and that I'll get used to it. Hope so...

    I did not take threelac, but did a diet with absolutely no sugar, including fruit. It was tough. The hardest part, though, was by about the end of the first week (was aiming for three weeks, then adding back fruit), I could barely walk up my own driveway. I was physically so tired I couldn't do anything but get out of bed and move to a chair. This doesn...

    Coconut Cream is just the coconut oil and fiber and sugars and all that still in tact. I mix some with agave nectar to kill my post-dinner sweet tooth. Also helping me with quittng dairy was eating sweet potatoes, because they are "creamy". If you mix them with coconut cream or olive oil or something, and whip them around, they are quite satisfying.

    This quarter I have a class called "walking" (i go to a hippy college) and once a week we go on three hour walks. Not a good scenario for finding that one needs a facility. Maybe I should've gone with accounting or something.

    It takes me 45 minutes in the winter to make my brekkers -- I have to have potato or something like that to fill me up and keep me warm in the cold months. The trick for me is, then I have to do the doodles...but it's time to leave for school. ARG - I hate morning classes!

    I often eat poached eggs over sauteed greens or asparagus. You could blanch some asparagus and sautee it off with some onion or garlic or something, then refer it; AND boil some eggs. Cooked bacon (gluten-free obviously and uncured) tastes good cold the next day as well. That might work for not having to cook in the a.m.

    I had that before gluten-free ... now I get it from walnuts...or so I believe anyway. Even walnut butter. If you have insurance and have not had it done, getting the ELISA (or similar type) test for food allergies really helps. Most folks with celiac can't digest dairy right away since the villi in their intestines can't produce that chemicals to break...

    You can buy frozen raw food to give to your cats that is close to the way they would eat in the wild, minus of course the killing and the fur and the whatnot. I feed my dog raw dog food, though I've started searing it on the outside to make him like it better. (He used to love it, but he demands changes in his diet...just like me!) Raw advantage has...

    I see that today, my idol CORMAC MCCARTHY, won the Pulitzer for his novel, "The Road". Yahoo!

    Hi all. Should I be having blood work done again for celiac, to see if I am truly gluten-free? I am super strict and have gluten-free household. But I realize that perfection is likely unattainable. Anyway, it's been almost a year. Should I get tested again? And do I need to do the whole panel, or only part of it...my insurance sucks now. Thanks...

    Bone Black by bell hooks is amazing. (probably considered a memoir.) The Earth is Enough by Harry Middleton also really good. Arctic Dreams by Barry Lopez is very good. (nonfiction about the arctic, but also about us and how we perceive places and spaces and the like. really good.) Solar Storms by Linda Hogan is really good. (Native American fiction...

    I got a book called "The Body Ecology Diet". it is pretty good; but severe. No fruit at all, etc. I ended up feeling pretty bad after a while, and losing weight. The die-off was pretty severe. One of the things she mentions is to properly combine foods. For example, don't eat protein and starch. Too much of the sugars end up in your system undigested...
