    Hey guys. Anyone had good luck with any type of resturant in Seattle - I mean a restaurant specifically, but it does not have to be a "gluten free" restaurant -- you know, some places can handle it and some can't. Any advice for an upcoming dinner date would be great. (Besides Impromptu Wine Bar - I've got that on my list - thanks!!!)

    Saw today about Vit K and it's role. Important stuff. Open Original Shared Link

    I've seen various chiropractors. 1. using the 'gun'. I'm not sure this did anything, other than the mental relief of going. It may have - I'm just saying that I am uncertain at this time if it contributed to my health or not. I was moving toward a healthy lifestyle at the time. 2. B.E.S.T. (BioEnergeticSynchronozationTechnique). This guy was...

    You're right. I noticed that last night. I know that THEORETICALLY, barley and wheat grass does not have gluten in it. But that is theoretically. Thus far no bad side effects -- but to be on the safe side, I'll go back to the ones without that. Thanks for reminding me.

    I'm sure you're right. I'm going to get tested for it. meanwhile, I'm on a 80-90% raw diet...which is helping quite a bit. If nothing else it's giving my system a break. I don't seem to have any problems digesting the raw foods, at least not thus far, though they all end up tasting like fresh salsa (which, thankfully, tastes good.). Thanks all.

    My stomach was bothering me so much in the mornings about a year ago. I had my husband get up and bring me some cereal (about 7am) which I would eat, then go back to sleep...this seemed to help. For me, it was intense hunger causing my nausea. A thing about the sleeping.... I need a lot of sleep per night - say 9 hours, though I can sleep 10 or 1...

    I have not been sold on the idea of taking supplements - I eat REALLY well, so I didn't see why I should need supplementation. I started taking a prenatal (just because they're so good) a week or two ago, though, because my fingernails were so weak they were bending back when I pulled up my socks. My fingernails are better. I don't think we should...

    I wondered if anyone out there has tried a raw foods diet? I've been mostly raw for two days and feel a lot better digestively, and the dark circles under my eyes look better. I finally have normal poops again after about a month of chronic cramping and switching D with C (never a problem with me before - was always straight C). Anyway, anybody else...
  9. BRUMI1968
    For "normal", check out the Bristol Scale. You can google it, or wikipedia. It's pretty funny, really. Then you can rate each poop with a number. I hate to imagine the "research" that went into making this scale.

    Yesterday I ate about 97% raw, and it felt great. I don't think it's the right time of year to transition to a raw diet (spring/summer would be best), but I do think having 70% or so raw is a good idea. Of course, you're not supposed to mix raw and cooked, for the most part -- so if you have a raw meal plus raw snacks...or two raw meals....that's good too...

    I don't know what these acronyms are? I suppose I could use wikipedia...but you guys are better -- what the heck are you talking about?
  12. BRUMI1968
    Okay. I eat lots of raw sauerkraut, but I'll add probiotics. I eat squash and sweet potato, so I think I'm better this time than last time with the energy thing. Garlic hits me the wrong way, so I avoid that pretty well...but eat lots of onions. I have not yet considered pills/medicine to kill yeast ... but will think on that. I'm not even sure I have...

    I eat squash - winter squash - and some sweet potato (but not potatoes). I don't think sweet potatoes are encouraged, but all diets should be flexed to the person who is doing it. I have trouble with too few carbs. Roasted carrots are probably also discouraged, but like I said...whatever it takes. All veggies/meats/fruits/nuts is going to better than...

    Day 2 of no sugar, including fruit and starchy veggies/carbs. I have just been so bloated that I'm thinking maybe bad bacteria are munching on the sugars and then belching a lot, leading me to...well...you get the picture. I'm also eating lots of onions, since they help to kill off yeasties. I'm not too keen on taking pills....but does anyone have any...

    the weight is the issue, ins't it? I finally balanced out for a while, but then.....wait, I'll start at the beginning. So ...BLOAT...that's the theme of my life. So I went on the paleo diet and it got a bit better, but not cured. So I went on the Body Ecology Diet which is ZERO sugar or fruit for a while, then very little fruit (yeast-killing diet)...

    You might want to look into some other ideas on how to increase your calcium as well, and if so, I thought I could get you started. I looked into it after I found some research had shown that some women taking calcium supplements actually had more broken bones than those who did not. Unfortunately, I can't recall where I saw the study, but I do recall it...

    I do Paleo, and it works well for me. Caveat: you have to be sure to be good on your candida issues, because there is a lot of dried fruit on the Paleo diet. If you try the Paleo and find you're bloated or whatever, you may have candida issues. This happened to me, and I had to go fruit and sugar free for a while to get balanced. Then I add back...

    Sure sounds possible. I was getting B12 shots, but then my B12 tested through the roof - plus, they weren't helping with my fatigue anyway. I do take sublingual tablets that are HUGE and have folate...the pills aren't huge, the B12 is in huge amounts -- just to be sure.
  19. BRUMI1968
    I don't eat potatoes because they are a nightshade (along with peppers, eggplant, tomatoes, and tobacco). They don't agree with me, AND they suck calcium out of your bones to digest if need be. So unless you eat them with calcium rich foods, look out. I don't eat corn because it's virtually worthless. It's one of those veggie/grain type foods, depending...

    I switched to MyChelle recently and like it quite a bit. Also, my stepdaughter has some issues with acne and was using ProActiv which I hate (treats your skin really badly, even if it does work). MyChelle has a whole program for acne prone skin. She uses it. Her skin is not completely perfect on it - but healthier. She has quit the ProActiv. The stuff...

    I use shallots, onion, salt, pepper, cumin seeds, lemon, cilantro (fresh), raw sauerkraut. I actually love the paleo diet for the most part. Meat rollups are great - meat, mustard, avocado, pepper, piece of salad?, raw sauerkraut?...yum. I eat these a lot, and like them very much. They don't seem plain. Also, I cook a whole chicken now and again. ...

    My personal belief as to why you might be experiencing so many veggies/vegans on the boards are that lots of veggies/vegans are very aware of their own bodies (especially if you accidentally feed them bacon after 16 years of veggi-ism). Thus, they would be more likely to investigate digestive problems. I don't think that there is a connection between healing...

    ARCHIVED Road Trip

    BRUMI1968 replied to Lisa's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    I just went on a motorcycle trip to Montana for ten days - smaller "trunks" to pack and no cooler. But I found that what I appreciated: my mustard my lunch meat my trail mix my granola bars sometimes I had rice milk or almond milk for getting tea lattes (don't normally drink these, but I got REALLY cold at times on that bike - Montana weather is...

    I was veggie for sixteen years, and recently started eating meat again. I started with lunch meat. I get Applegate Farms. While I was veggie, i cooked for hubby who wasn't veggie, so I'm used to handling raw meat...and my dog eats raw meat as well, so there's that. I don't know about cooked stuff, other than lunch meat and hotdogs (both not exactly...

    In general, blue cheese is made blue with a tiny bit-o-bread. It would take some serious digging to find some blue cheese that had been made with bit-o-tapioca bread or something...but maybe it exists. If you like goat cheese, maybe you could whip something up with that. Good luck.
