    I know right away when I've eaten something wrong because my heart starts racing. I've learned to calm down about it, but it used to freak me out, just adding to the panic of the whole thing. I think our bodies react very quickly to foods we should not be eating. If I figure out what I just ate (like it's obvious), then I mark down not to eat that anymore...

    If I eat dairy, I get constipated quite quickly. And quitting dairy seems to unconstipate me quite quickly. It sounds like maybe he got some sneaked in there on accident. OR --- we can't be perfect every day. I've noticed some days I'm not right and there's really no obvious good explanation. I read once a good article on IBS - and it talked about the...

    Doesn't lemon grass get some folks? When I used to eat Thai food, I couldn't have anything with lemon-grass coconut milk. Though now I make rice pudding with coconut milk, and it does not seem to bother me. Not sure. Just an idea.

    I second the thing on the platelets - especially if you have bleeding gums, or little red dots on your skin where things press against it, like shoes or seat belts or whatever. You could have ITP, an autoimmune disease that causes you to kill your own platelets. You probably don't -- it is not particularly common -- but if you haven't had a CBC run in a...

    I'm surprised how many of us have buzz cuts. I cut my hair on the #8 on the clippers. I'd like to go to a 4 or 5 sometime, maybe shorter - like Sinead O'Connor or something, but I'm chicken. My partner prefers short hair. Every time I contemplate growing it out, he balks. that isn't the only reason I don't grow it out -- it's also bloody hard. Know...

    A couple weeks ago I decided to fast because no food was interesting me, and I was not feeling too well digestively, though nothing too intense. I thought I'd start over by erasing the blackboard, so to speak -- fast and then start over. I also was thinking that I have a lot of things right now I'm trying to get out (a lot of intense writing and memory...

    Interesting stuff from the web. the basic gyst is that estrogen dominance causes these fibroids (both breast and uterine). The last thing you want to do in response to them is increase your estrogen intake. If the fibroids are small, increasing progesterone can help; if they are big, the progesterone will also contribute to their growth. I would say...

    One other thing to request is a CBC (complete blood count). You should be sure you have plenty of platelets. (Platelets are the doodads that clot your blood.) This is especially true if you have bleeding gums, bruises you don't remember getting, or little tiny red dots on the tops of your feet or where your seatbelt might hit your chest, that type of thing...

    Okay, so I was having some "spotting", which I never have, so I went into the doc. Had a bleeding cervical polyp. They removed it and sent it to the lab, and it's fine. They also found another one in there, a baby one so they couldn't grab it. Question -- my understanding is that polyps can be caused by a change in hormones. Could me quitting gluten...

    There are some pretty strong theories out there as to the health hazards of Teflon. No one can debate that the Teflon plants themselves put insane pollutants into nearby bodies of water...AND there is some evidence that eating off them exposes you to the same nasty chemicals. Of course, that is the hotly debated part. I never use Teflon for these...

    no other symtoms...well, MILD sore throat and exgtreme but exgtremely intermittent ear ache. Feeling really terribler. What do you all do?

    Last September, I got a bad cold. It was not so much in my nose as it was a sore throat and a severe DRY cough, which eventually strained two ribs. I had this for probably two months, to varying degrees. Finally one day, and believe me this was very noticable with strained ribs, the coughing nearly subsided. Man was I excited. Only the next day, I was...

    Some people respond VERY WELL to B12 shots (though if you do get them, make sure they contain folate - they hurt slightly more, but if you don't get the folate, you're just perpetuating an imbalance). If your celiac has been activated for a decent period of time, you're likely deficient in the B vitamins especially, but probably all vitamins/minerals. ...

    Hi. Everyone responds differently to different foods. I was eating gluten for years, and never felt "sick" right afterward. I always had intestinal problems, bloating, gas, extreme bloaty pain, etc. I also had canker sores, itchy skin, bleeding gums, and whatnot. When I quit gluten, all of that went away for the most part. That said, eating dairy...

    I did not get that; however, I have been plagued with C my whole life, which cleared up with Paleo -- so maybe I would've gotten it had my problem been D. I will say this: the other day I walked the 2-1/2 miles to school and when i got there (barely in time) had to sit on the pot for 20 minutes with scary D. (Never mind the misery of public pooping....

    I was just thinking, too, of this book I read years ago called "Food and Healing" by Anne Marie Colbin. I really liked it, and it got me started eating well. (Now I disagree with her recommendations to eat lots of beans and grains, but that is another story.) She talks about very rigid diets -- might they contribute to very rigid people. I think we should...

    Actually, when determining the average life span of an entire people, accuracy is completely lost. For example, two parents could live to be in their 70's, but had two children that died at birth - the average life span comes out to be 37 years. The other things that calculations cannot factor in is the dangerous lifestyle of hunting, freezing, starving...

    Also, real maple syrup is gluten-free...and processed sugar free.

    What about valium. Can you get your doc to switch you to it? Is it gluten free?

    I second the raw dog food - my dog has been on it for years. In fact, we ran out once and had to feed him kibble...the farts nearly killed us and it was the first time we realized he hadn't had stinky farts since he went on raw. It is a pain in the arse, but he is a very healthy puppy. Some raw dog foods have grain, however...so watch for that. Raw...

    ARCHIVED Itching

    BRUMI1968 replied to wowzer's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis

    I had terrible itching without a rash down my sides, above my hip bones, on my spine, and on the back of my head. BUT, I also had a horrible rough patch of skin on both ankles that itched me into submission whenever they hit the ground (i.e., sitting "Indian style"). ALL of the itching went away when I quit gluten, along with my canker sores. Now I'm...

    My Emmett likes to eat the rich soil at the bottom of cedar trees. He has always done it. I have started feeding him a little kelp to see if it is a mineral deficiency. Sometimes there are minerals in the dirt. He also has breath that smells like pennies. It always has. Maybe he has a copper deficiency or something (not bleeding in the mouth as far...

    Even one teaspoon of cow's butter constipates the heck right out of me. Goats butter not so much -- can eat in moderation.

    No possibility of pancreas reaction to too much fat? Just grasping. What about your dishwasher soap? I know some hand dishwashing soap has gluten (and whey) -- I go out of my way to get gluten-free dish soap. What else has CHANGED? Also, what do you mean you were CC'd by ground beef? -Sherri
