    Nightshades can do it too, come to think of it. (tobacco, tomato, eggplant, potato, peppers. NOT sweet potato or black pepper) -Sherri

    Hey all! Does anyone know anything about exercise balls? I've got two - one is small 55cm maybe - and says it's for folks under 5'3. The other one is 65 cm maybe - and that is for my height. BUT...when I sit on the bigger one, my legs don't make a 90-degree angle - and aren't they supposed to? Question: What is the danger of using the wrong-sized...

    Last Christmas, my in-laws and I all went to Molokai, Hawaii for ten days in a house. There was one tiny store, one slightly less tiny store, and thankfully, a healthfood store (the tiniest of them all). My husbands dad baked bread every day, but other than that, it went well. I don't know what kind of island you're going to, but often the visitors you...

    I was reading today how long-chain carbs can cause bloating and intestinal discomfort. The website was talking about sports drinks, actually...but said that fructose often causes people problems. Granted, most times it causes problems are going to be in sports drinks or other drinks (think high-fructose corn syrup), but for some, it may be from eating too...

    I think you can eat lower glycemic fruits ON AN EMPTY STOMACH. Otherwise they ferment and feed the yeast. I think I added back fruit a bit premature, and am going to have to go off it again for a week to get back on track. Good luck.

    Can you elaborate on the "bristol scale"? I just jot down what I eat and when, then how I feel and IF I had odd poop. I'd like it to be more extensive. Maybe if it were put in Microsoft Acess as a database with a pretty entry form, it might be easier. I've actually decided I should have a book I carry around with me, since you never know when you're going...

    I think banana is pretty high in carb, if you can eat that...and it has its own container - you have to respect a food that brings its own tupperware. I eat lots of nuts. I used to get so nauseus when waking because I had gotten hungry in the night. I started waking up at 5am and having a bowl of cereal, then going back to sleep. Thankfully, I seem...

    Gas-X relieves symptoms, but not causes. And, for me, it tends to cause constipation. It did remind me that activated charcoal can help - but along with air and gas it also grabs vit/min and takes them out of the system - so you wouldn't necessarily want to use it forever or in excess. I say find out what's bloating you, and put an end to it. It has...

    I use Shi Kai...and for skin care I use MyChelle. (they don't do makeup however; but all their skincare products are gluten-free) Smashbox makes all gluten-free makeup, but it is only available in department stores (I live 90 miles from nearest source)...use it anyhow, though. Actually, I don't know if they do animal experiements or not...I don't think...

    I was perpetually bloated. So I 1. quit gluten (obviously) 2. quit all grains nope, still bloaty...felt better though 3. went on Candida cleanse diet (Body Ecology Diet) all bloating went away. I think it was the quitting all sugars, including fruit, that did it. I did this for a little over a week stringently, then added back some low glycemic...

    That's too funny about the crossword puzzle...so I can do the crossword for 2 hours instead of walk for 1? I can just see crossword puzzle classes popping up at small boutique gyms across the country. Hysterical!

    I don't think I'm spreading "internet myths". Rather, I think you and I have chosen to put our faith in different medical opinions. Gunn Sikk is a respected nutritionist, and he is certainly not alone in believing that distilled water is detrimental to our health. Dr. Weil is also respected. It's our choice, not being scientists who have studied such...

    I don't think it's productive (or kind) to respond with "...is a mindless thing to say." That kind of language just shuts down dialogue.

    I think it's very important to find what works for you. Eating three meals a day w/o snacks does not work well for me -- I need small meals and lots of them. I will tell you that when I quit eating grains and beans, I dropped a pound a day for a while. I've got my husband on a temporary grain-free diet (though he eats dairy and beans): he's been on...

    Hi guys! My-Chelle is a GREAT skincare line that contains no gluten. I decided to change from Dr. Hauschka's because they include wheat germ oil in their products, though they claim they are gluten-free after processing. No sense taking risks, I say. So I tried My-Chelle. It all smells wonderful, is natural, is fruit based, and seems to work really well...

    Being a research buff, I had to look this up. According to an internet source which I forgot to write down, it breaks down like this CALORIES BURNED IN 30 MINUTES OF ACTIVITY: Bicycling: leisurely/moderate: 300 fast w/o coasting: 450 Walking: 3 mph: 124 4 mph: 188 5 mph: 300 (That was calculated for a 125# person). HOWEVER...

    I dream of opening such a place in Montana one day in the next five years. I'll check it out. p.s. I don't live in Montana right now.

    Hi. From what I understand, you need to go on a specific diet for a short period of time to kill off the yeast. What I did was called the Body Ecology Diet. You might want to check it out from the library because it sounds like it might really help you. Conceptually, you need to attack on ALL fronts simulteneously. Putting good bacteria/yeast into...

    I didn't know about Harvest Bread gluten-free. I actually quit all grains about a month ago; but had I known beforehand, I would've checked it out. Be cautious of cross contamination - but it sounds like something to give a shot. At Fairhaven you invent your own "concentration" (degree), and I haven't gotten to that point yet. I go very slowly - one...

    Hi. Please be aware of an autoimmune disorder called Thrombocytopenia Purpura. It is NOT common, however, you should make sure you don't have it. Easy bruising Little tiny red dots where things touch you tightly, think seatbelt, pants waist, shoes (tops of feet) Heavy periods or more than one period or early or late period - but MORE bleeding is what...

    If you need any advice or want to get together, let me know...PM me. Also, we've got a support group that meets at the Food Co-op, though I've never gone. We could wander in together, if you'd like. I walk my dog up at Hovander Homestead all the time. Where do you work? I own a small business in Fairhaven called Bully For You that does Girl Friday...

    Hello. Another Washingtonian here - life-long: born in Tacoma (Ft. Lewis actually), then Seattle, Whidbey Island, Snohomish, Sedro-Woolley, and now Bellingham. I keep moving North..."go west, young man"...only north and I'm not a man. Olympia is a nice town - I was a page there while my mother was in the legislature (in the 80's), and we had friends...

    HI all. I quit wheat/dairy about two years ago; then quit gluten about three months ago...and was doing lots of good for you food. I felt lots better, but was still bloated. So then I cut out all grains and beans. Better, but still bloated. The only thing that finally cut the bloated nonsense, was quitting all sugars, including fruits (for a short time...

    You can try eating something really salty. Just a bite. Does it make the headache better? Then eat a bit more. If not, I don't know what to say. Have you eaten MSG? Are you dehydrated? Have you quit caffeine or not gotten enough? Where is the pain?
