    My dog loves to chase whatever you throw, but then prefers to chew on it for a spell. When he's ready to go again, he brings it me and drops it. I can MAKE him drop it, but I like sitting and standing around while he chews the ball, it gives me time to experience what's around me or pull some weeds or read from a book or whatever. Now that he's older ...

    I thought of something else, actually. I'd really look into trying raw sauerkraut. It has some of the same good intestinal bacteria as yoghurt, but it's dairy free. It also helps to digest proteins, and is really good, for some reason, for your skin. It's relatively expensive in the store (healthfood store), but you can make it yourself i you have a food...

    I haven't seen the Paleo book exactly - I bought one for athletes because at first I was having a bit of trouble with energy levels, and I was starting to play tennis. I think I either adjusted or finished with some yeast die off or something, because I got much better with the energy and the muscle cramps. I, therefore, am an example of someone who has...

    Ironically, it was putting my husband on a mostly grain-free diet that seemed to mess up our process. I think we all stopped being very careful since there was hardly any gluten in the house. It is just too confusing to have two sponges, two scrubbies, a separate cutting board, etc. We have a friend who cooks at our house once a week or so for family dinners...

    I've decided that my attempt to segregate our kitchen to gluten and non-gluten isn't working perfectly, so have decided to degluten the whole kitchen, having hubby and friends eat gluten out and outside only. So I need to clean out the spice cabinet, and am wondering if there are any BRANDS that are all gluten-free - especially nonirradiated organic stuff...

    Figs are good for fiber, if fiber is still an option to try for a fixer. I've always had bad C until I quit wheat two years ago. WHen I quit gluten six months ago or so, I got it back for a while...who knows why...maybe stopping the oatmeal. Anyway, figs are good since they are small but pack a fiber punch.

    Hi. I don't eat grains at all. Here's an example of my day's food intake: BREKKERS: 2 or 3 poached eggs over sauteed veggies like chard, beet greens, asparagus, etc. OR scramble with onions, brocoli, etc. (in other words, veggies and eggs) LUNCH: meat rollups. Okay, lunch meat is not the best meat, but it's organic and gluten-free, and I'm...

    It is hard sometimes to feel full, but you do get used to it. I was losing weight like crazy, and I don't have it to lose - once I added nut butters and some almond milk in there, my weight evened out. To be honest, I haven't read the books. I read the principles: fruit, nuts, seeds, non-starchy veggies, and relatively lean meats. I did get his book...

    ARCHIVED Hello

    BRUMI1968 replied to a topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff

    Hey! I moved from Woolley to Bellingham about three years ago, after two years in Woolley (before that Whidbey, Capital Hill/Seattle, Monroe, Port Townsend). Anyway, we JUST sold our house in Sedro in Rolling Ridge - about half way to Sedro from Burlington between 20 and Cook Road. Anyway, nice to have you on the board. Your co-op is cheaper than...

    You might look into the Paleo Diet as an alternative. I didn't want to do specific carb because of dairy either. I think the Paleo diet works pretty well, though sometimes it can be tough to get enough calories, and not eating ANY grains can be difficult out at restaurants (if any of us even go out to restaurants at this point). there's a book called...

    This isn't true. The "germ" theory doesn't get everyone sick who is exposed to flu germ, for example. EVERYONE can not be used in a sentence talking about science or health. The same is true for ecological toxins; fluoride is one; and other toxins. One thing I would add about fluoride, is that you can be politically active in your community and get your...

    thanks!

    My hubby and I are riding motorcycles to Montana in early/mid September for 8 days. We'll go from Bellngham to Winthrop (both in WA), then to Sand Point Idaho, then to WhiteFish Montana. All those places have co-op type stores where I can buy gluten-free organic lunchmeat and the like. Once we past there, headed to Glacier, then the Beartooth Highway...

    I don't want to notch this fascinating post back, but I thought we should mention that sublingual B12 is the best. You chew it slightly and let it dissolve in your mouth. If your gut is leaky and damaged, you might not get much benefit from swallowing your B12. You can get them at any healthfood store or food Co-op. I use Enzymatic Therapy, and they...

    I'm so glad! I miss my kitty. He died a couple years ago of unknown causes. If I get another cat, I'll definitely feed them Innova or raw food. -Sherri

    I know when I was in Hawaii b4 diagnosis but after going wheat-free - and my father in law made fresh bread every day - I ate it like it was going out of style. YUM! That sounds likely to me, too. I'm making danish squash soup right now and I'm so excited for it to get done. Better go check.

    Thanks Leah - I didn't know about the reflux/heartburn thing with peppermint. That's why this board is so great...all together, we're an amazingly genious person!

    I used US Biotek as well...I came out as being allergic to nothing. Which was cool...but almost hard to believe after 35 years of Celiac disease. I had some things that did make a mark on the scale, which is delineated like the York one - Kidney beans were at the maximum of no reaction. I did have things I have never eaten (to my knowledge) that got blips...

    A really good breakfast is sauteed vegetables with poached or scrambled eggs. With poached I've done: summer squash, asparagus, swiss chard, beet greens; with scrambled I've done nappa cabbage, brocoli, etc. I always use leek or onion or shallot. It is actually quite good. I do worry about eating eggs EVERY day and not taking a break, so I try to go one...

    Just a couple things: 1. peppermint is good for tummy aches 2. chamomile is good for calming down 3. a combo of those is good for tummy aches from stress 4. ginger is supposed to fight gas those are all pretty safe - ginger can no doubt be overdone since it is "spicy", but I think the taste of it would warn you off. a couple other things...

    It certainly sounds possible. I've had problems since I was 3 or 4 years old - always constipation. Originally, folks thought Celiac always presented as diarrhea, but they've found maybe 30% or more folks present with constipation. Anyway, I quit wheat two years ago and felt much better, so got tested for Celiac just to be sure. Turns out I tested positive...

    The Body Ecology Diet kills yeast off pretty well. What is the spit test?

    You are so lucky to be in Portland. I'm visiting Portland right now as we speak. Staying at Kennedy School, which is neat but too loud for such a light sleeper as myself. Anyway, here are four restaurants (there are more, but this what I printed out b4 coming down) Hawthorn Fish House and Corbett Fish House. Really good. WE ate at Hawthorn location...

    If you do a search of this site, you'll find an extensive posting on the SC diet. I do the Paleo diet myself. it is similar to SC in the carb parts, but it has no dairy or beans of any kind. It is interesting, and it seems to be working pretty well for me. I've also done (and will again) the Body Ecology Diet. It has no grains, beans, dairy - and...

    Didn't the food pyramid used to put dairy and eggs together too? Weird. But what would you expect from an organization that doesn't put vegetables on the bottom rung - the biggest one.
