    Bloating has been the bane of my existence. I've always had C and bloat for my celiac, which has been active since I was two or so. Since going gluten-free, I've struggled with it less (at least less pain), but it has not disappeared entirely. Here is what I've gone through with it. 1. Quit wheat 2-1/2 years ago; this made small difference in lots...

    IF she has strep, that's a big deal. But most infections of the respiratory system are VIRAL, and antibiotics are wasted on them. MANY doctors assign antibiotics even when they know it's viral, because their patient's want to think they are getting medicine. Not only is this bad for patients, it's bad for all of us, since viruses and bacteria continue...

    Different mosses have different levels of toughness -- so you'd want to do your research first. I think it sounds nice. Other options are landscape cloth and straw (which I did one year -- you get some weeds, but not many and they are easy to pull - isn't too good looking, though), coffee bean shells or chestnut shells (unless it is windy), bark (I don...

    You can also make a piecrust from walnuts and dates. You put two cups of each into a food processor and process until chunky, not smooth. Then you press it into a pie or tart pan. Refrigerate. Then you just add whatever -- in my case, very thinly sliced apples, raisins, apple juice, etc....in order to make apple pie. You can cook all the stuff down,...

    The best thing about my new poop is that it no longer seems to have so much bile in it. The color is different entirely - more reddish, but I think not in a bad way. If it were fresh blood, it would look bloody, if it were stale blood, it would look black, right? Plus, it's not blood red anyway, just less yellowish/brown more reddish/brown. I've gotten...

    When they're talking about lining the gloves - that's the inside. What's our risk here really, I wonder? Are the vinyl gloves coated on the outside, or the inside? I'm confused.

    check out this article...it's an excerpt actually, but talks about how vinyl gloves are coated with oat powder....gotcha! Open Original Shared Link

    I went on a yeast-killing sugarless diet, and had herxheimer quite badly. I could barely get out of bed. So I added back some starchy veggies, and that helped. Nonetheless, I usually feel like I'm on a seesaw with stuff like healing, and with exercising -- like I go to far too fast, though I never know where that cutoff is going to be --- and then have...

    You said tons of salt. Do you crave salt? I did some looking around, and found that salt cravings can be: zinc deficiency mineral deficiency habit I don't know what kind of salt you're eating, but you want to stick with sea salt or Himalayan Crystal salt. They have all the minerals in tact, whereas table salt strips the minerals. If you have...

    Coffee has good and bad, like all things. There is virtually nothing on this earth that can said to be "good for you" and apply to everyone, save maybe for clean water and clean air. An example: you're constantly hearing about how great red wine is for you. Supposedly it is why French folks are so darned healthy, and Americans are so darned unhealthy...

    Hi. I went on the Paleo diet for a while - all meat, nuts, seeds, fruit, vegetables...yeah. No grains, no starchy veggies really, no beans. At first it went well...but I lost about 8 pounds. I didn't mind that, though that definitely put me at the way low end of acceptable, what I hated was the lost energy. Now I've added SMALL amounts of grains...

    I gave up coffee about ten years ago. I loved it, believe you me, especially in the form of a wet cappuccino (I was living in Seattle at the time), but also in the form of a mug at Denny's with cream and sugar. The first thing you should know, is that withdrawals from quitting coffee are relatively severe...in the form of headache. Some folks wean...

    I don't have problems with Mission, but I'm also not super sensitive. I think i recall someone else on here getting sick from CC with mission. I use LaTortilla Factory ones. I get them at the coop.

    Howdy. See my avatar and you see Emmett, my Staffordshire Bull Terrier (an ingredient in pit bulls). He is so sweet it is silly. And he's so silly that it's sweet. All dogs that have been bred by humans were formed to be the best shape/size/etc. to do a job. The job pitbulls were bred to do was fight other dogs. This is also true of Chows, Akitas...

    Hi all. I was on steroids (prednisone) for about six months probably, due to an autoimmune disease. The reason why prednisone works against autoimmune diseases is because IT BASICALLY SHUTS DOWN YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM. It also causes your adrenal glands to stop working! When you go off prednisone, you have to be weaned slowly so that your adrenals will start...

    I've thought about the wheat field thing since I'm contemplating moving to Montana -- but I think has to get into the digestive tract. Who knows! there are probably a thousand other reasons not to be hanging out in a wheat field. As to the grain-fed beef -- I think you're clear based on celiac. However, you might want to consider grass-fed beef if you...

    I'm going to the store today and am getting more of the kind I get, so I can post later with the name of them; but they're from the food co-op/health food store...not as cheap as mission.

    There have been studies that show that exercise is as effective as Prozac. So I think it's VERY important to get out there and do something. I had a friend who always told me that if I don't like the way I'm feeling, change my position physically - do something different physically. It's worth a shot. I know it's hard to get exercising when you're down...

    I only get gluten-free bacon and ham. Anything with smoke flavor might have gluten. I also buy uncured bacon and uncured ham. These are better for you. I also only eat grass-fed beef, as far as beef goes. It has a much better omega fatty acid profile (it's all about ratio - how much three to how much six - and grass fed beef is WAY better than corn...

    I've started eating tea lattes. this is rice/almond/hazelenut (best) milk, a pinch of nutmet and cinimon (sp?), a bag of black tea broken up into the pan (or loose tea, if you have it), and heated up, stirring a lot so the tea steeps. Then you strain it through a tea strainer, and enjoy. It tastes yummy, is something creamy which i appreciate since I...

    In Chinese medicine, different types of insomnia have diffferent causes: waking up in the night can be your liver. Just another viewpoint.

    I'm actually right now trying to drum up options for a guy I assist in finding a spot where he can take some clients out to dinner. One is vegetarian, one has Celiac, and the other can't eat peanuts or be exposed to peanut in any way. this brings up a question about Impromptu - I checked out the menu and none of the entrees were vegetarian. Is this something...

    It sounds nuts, but if you can wait until the last day of the month, you will always get a better deal on a car. they are desperate to meet the numbers, so they'll go lower than they normally would. I'm not sure this applies to a lease, but I don't see why it wouldn't. My partner is currently the manager of a car dealership; when he gets home, I can...

    I don't think we can confidently say what Celiac can and cannot do. The word Idiopathic means: we don't know why the heck this is happening. There are many theories: too many vaccinations, a gene we haven't found yet, stress, etc. Western medicine is very good at dianosis; they are miserable at systemic medicine - how could Celiac not contribute,...

    Chocolate has always given me problems. I don't get depressed, but I can get emotionally unstable, such as laughing so hard that I have to cry to stop, or crying for no good reason; that sort of thing. I can get really giddy or really weepy -- then it goes away. I figured it out in high school, so haven't had much of it since. However, lately I've been...
