    Well, said potentail hernia was probably just a muscle spasm or pulled muscle. It's lots better now. Beware this virus. It can hang on you for quite some time; I have felt partly sick/cold for two months, then it flared with the coughing last month, and flared with the nose thing this month. Arg! Everyone take their vitamin C/

    I've found it next to impossible to stay 100% paleo in the wintertime. I now eat some rice, some rice pasta, and some potato. But not much. I've also added rice milk (in the form of tea lattes), and that is helping me keep the weight on.

    Okay...TWO MONTHS ago I caught a cold thing that was mostly this horrible DRY itchy hamburger feeling sore throat and spastic horrible coughing that didn't produce anything. My lungs were fine. Well, this went on for a month and a half. Then I got laryngitis for four days. That was fun. Then I sprained/cracked/broke/bruised a rib - I think sprained ...

    I was having trouble keeping weight on. I added two or three tea lattes a day. I make them with loose black tea in a pan with rice milk and hazlenut mik (mixed), with nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, and some agave nectar (a great sweetener). Once I started doing this, I gained about five pounds. And I haven't kept gaining...I'm about 130 now at 5'9 (I was down...

    My grandma gave me a box of stuff to sell. The drama here is that some of it is collectable stuff that I don't know anything about. So I've had to look up what the stuff is...for example...some metal military ship toys. Some of it has value, some not. But they are little tiny bits and pieces, so I'd have to run 30 auctions to get a pittance. I've sold...

    I can tell you that when I would eat gluten, I would get anxiety attacks to varying degrees. Sometimes they would be full blown - I'd get tingly, clammy, feel like I needed to poop quite suddenly, wanting to throw up, nevous, shaking, scared, sometimes mentally disoriented, always dizzy. Sometimes they would just be mild - and what I noticed most was the...

    Last time I checked Bobbi Brown still needed to be checked product by product. The line "smashbox" is entirely gluten-free, and has some great stuff in it. They sell it at Nordstrom, and I'm sure other places. I don't know about drug store lines. Although it's great that you want to find gluten-free soda's and not risk the gluten, you might want to...

    Was she eating corn prior to that? Or is adding the tortilla's the same as adding corn?

    I'm pretty sure that St. Johnn's Wort thins the blood - which is fine for most folks, but dangerous for some. Just thought I'd pass it on, being in the "some" category, and knowing how important it is.

    Walnut Butter and Cashew Butter and Pecan Butter from ARTISANA. IT'S RAW, which is important, and it is entirely peamut, gluten, and dairy free. I think the Walnut one is FANTASTIC. They are not cheap, though. www.premierorganics.org

    I had anxiety attacks for nearly 30 years, almost always after or during eating. Haven't had a single one since going gluten-free. It makes me want to join support groups for anxiety depression long enough to tell each and every person there to consider going gluten-free.

    I've always had very light periods - I mean stupid light, which i've always appreciated. since going gluten-free, they've gotten much more "normal", I think since my hormones have been straightening out. I've done some reading on the subject, and one theory is that women should not eat the reproductive byproducts of other animals: eggs, milk. You might...

    I feed by dog a grain free raw diet, with a few kibble chunks in it. The Kibble chunks are also grain free -- they are INNOVA. The raw food is Prairie. He does really well on this diet - no more stinky farting, clear eyes, nice coat, and great health overall. Once, we ran out of raw food and had to feed him just kibble again for two days. His farting...

    As to "fountain" drinks....I read on here at some point not to drink stuff that came out of the gun in the bar, as it might be contaminated with, for example, root beer or something. So I don't. I have no idea if it's true.

    My nutritionist, a great guy named Tom Malterre, is publishing a cookbook that is mostly gluten and dairy free. He teaches classes on gluten free dessserts and the like at our local food co-op. Anyway, here is the website to preorder his book. I'm going to get it and will be happy to post a review once it arrives. Open Original Shared Link

    I disagree. I made our household gluten free except for pizza (from a parlour) and beer. These two things are very easy to keep track of. the pizza box never leaves a particular counter, and we have a mudroom sink where plates that have touched gluten get prewashed before going into the dishwasher. Gluten isn't good for anyone. Bread ins't good for...

    I haven't been able to drink for years, even before diagnosis. I get shaking that i can't control (and a terrible stomach ache, though usually no vomiting). So I just don't bother. People are always trying to get me to sip their stuff, and even though it probably wouldn't send me into the shaking fits, I still say no thanks. Besides, women have an increased...

    I think often "smoke" flavored things have gluten. I use Beelers or a local brand, Hemplers, and do just fine.
  19. BRUMI1968
    No. That's a good point, about them washing their hands. I'll do that. Thanks for the advice.

    Well, it's been about six months or so gluten-free. About a month ago, my itching came back. I've never had a rash or anything, just intense itching, mostly on the back of my head, on my shins, on my spine, and on my left hip area. Potential culprits: too many hot showers (sometimes I get inconsolably cold, and take a hot shower), winter. BUT,...

    Can you share the 3 ingredients in the pb cookies? I've not heard of this.
  22. BRUMI1968
    One diet to look into is the paleolithic diet. Lots of folks have had very good luck with it. It can be hard to get used to (especially for breakfast), but I think if you can keep up your energy, it's a healthy way to live.
  23. BRUMI1968
    Not that it is as good as going natural, but colace liquid is gluten free according to the web.

    I had this problem a bit (though without ever having the D) -- I used to eat oatmeal for breakfast almost every day; and when I quit doing that, I got some pretty serious C...I mean serious. You would be surprised to know how much fiber is in fruits and vegetables, really. Figs are really great, if you don't have blood sugar problems. Dried figs have...

    Yeah, I spent most of my childhood and early teens and twenties and heck, half of my thirties doubled over in pain. Glad that's gone.
