    I feel WAY better now. I actually had hit bottom I think a week or two ago- and so I bought an Amasazi (?) rice shake, which had 35 mg carbs, though no refined sugar. I drank that and felt better, though then I had a reaction to it the next day (tried to drink another one)...(I'm still waiting for my food allergy test). Anyway, I think I was suffering...

    I have trust issues - I'd get my own toaster...but that's just me.

    I don't use plastic at all - I use glass. It does not stain, hold odors, or cause any health problems (which there is some evidence that plastic does). Other than the fact that it's heavy and can break, it's the best way to go.

    Not curative, but interesting: I read that if you eat honey from your local bees, you can diminish pollen allergies. I don't know if it's true - honey gives me a belly ache and I don't think I have pollen allergies other than cottonwood. Buggery little puffs!

    A few things come to mind: 1. what are the meds? Often they have side effects of insomnia, and even your GP can't keep track of all the side effects of all the meds s/he prescribes. 2. are you drinking liquids past 7pm? are any of them caffeinated? do you drink caffeine at all? do you eat late? 3. in "eastern" medicine, WHEN you cant' sleep...

    ARCHIVED Low Bone Density

    BRUMI1968 replied to Lexis's topic in Sports and Fitness

    actually, biking isn't weight bearing either. But it is fun!

    turmeric is a blood thinner as well, and has other great properties. You can get it via pills at the health food store. It takes while to build up, so it is not for acute issues; but it is good for taking for ongoing blood thinning.

    My man and I are in therapy -- our therapist has celiac in fact -- and an interesting thing came up the other day. I said that I was feeling more comfortable expressing anger now that I was eating meat - I thought maybe the chickens were mad and they were passing it onto me. I was being slightly tongue in cheek of course. But he said that maybe now that...

    I am not at all grossed out or irritated with people who are unhealthy in some way and are trying to make themselves better. What gets me hot under the collar is someone who will list their litany of problems, either tell you why or actually believe you in why, but then ignore what you say, live the same way, and CONTINUE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT IT. Sometimes...

    Just to clarify, I was not getting the amazingly weak/sore leg/back muscles until I had quit all grains for about two weeks, and then quit sugar/fruit/starchy veggies as well, on a quest to kill any bacteria/yeast living inside me. So it sounds like I probably was having a yeast die-off or something. The other possibility is that I was not getting enough...

    Hi all! I'm having this new attitude problem of sorts: I can't stand unhealthy people. I look at them and they drive me nuts. I mean people who have unhealthy lifestyles, not actually sick people, so let me rephrase that. For example, I have a friend who whenever he opens his mouth to make a face or laugh or something, I am grossed out by his tongue...

    Does anyone know if someone's muscles might have to relearn where to get their food. For example, if one were to quit all grains/beans/dairy/sugar, and upped their intake of protein and nonstarchy veggies, would one get muscle weakness and aches during an adjustment period? I think I am finally getting enough energy to add back some decent exercise (was...

    I was getting bad pains in my wrist, forearms, hands, etc., especially as they got cold or as I used the mouse on the computer. I finally realized that four momths earlier, I'd had my arm practically pulled out of the socket by a drunken friend of mine who insisted I swing dance with her. (Why do drunk people weigh ten times more than sober people.) I...

    ARCHIVED Massage

    BRUMI1968 replied to lindalee's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I just got a massage as well. I was having yeast die-off symptoms and thought it might speed up my recovery. My gal said that the majority of the pain I felt and the stuff she felt was a slow lymph system. She suggested the Epsom salts. I don't know if you're massage person was old school or new school - but there could be other reasons your feet were...

    ARCHIVED Tortillas

    BRUMI1968 replied to a topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Actually, a lot of tortilla chips are either cross contaminated or contain gluten. If you search for a threat recently on tortilla chips, you'll see lots of brands that are gluten free. Mission is one of them. I ate those for a spell before quitting all grains. Boohoo...I miss chips.

    I ate some of the top ramen type stuff, and didn't feel too well afterward...but I'm not one who can be sure she was "glutened", or if she just didn't feel well, you know. So I'm not sure.

    Here's a link to the specific carbohydrate diet: Open Original Shared Link It is from some information source - like wikipedia but different. Anyway, one thing about the specific carb diet is that dairy is allowed and even pushed a bit, in the form of cheeses and dry curd cottage cheese. If you don't do dairy or are caseine (sp?) intolerant, this...

    I read through this a bit - looks like it would take 2000 mg (that's 2 grams, right?) to get toxic affects. However, B vitamins all work together, so hopefully whoever formulated your complex knew what they were doing. Getting back on track and then getting it from foods is probably the best way. the Same site has food sources...I think I couldn't copy...

    If no one said, sesame seeds, sea vegetables, and dark leafy greens are usually BETTER sources of calcium than dairy...dairy has the wrong ratio of calcium to phosphorous, leaving unabsorbed calcium in the system that has to go someplace (stones, acne, cysts, etc.?) Good luck!

    I burp a lot anyway...but I have noticed that before I got dx'd, my new stomach issue was that my STOMACH would stay full of air (I was used to intestines full of air and being inflamed). I would try to burp, but that wouldn't help. Now I burp constantly...well, I mean, after eating. p.s. kissing makes me burp. I must be doing it wrong.

    I am a great quitter. I have quit just about everything you can think of from booze and coffee, from animals to grains, from sucking my thumb to laughing nervously at the end of all my sentences. the one thing I haven't quit yet is quitting...but hopefully someday I'll manage that one. I'll tell you that quitting coffee was physically much harder than...

    they're probably talking about the S.C.D. or specific carbohydrate diet which was made for folks with Crohns and Celiac and the like. I have done a similar diet, called the Body Ecology Diet...but I'm doing it in a modified way right now because I had no energy, probably from yeast die-off. I'm going to look more into the specific carb diet...but if that...
  23. BRUMI1968
    What do you mean by Crohn's diet: the specific carb diet?

    One dishwashing soap that does contain gluten is Ecover aloe and lemon. I used it - then thought to call the company. All their other 'flavors' are gluten-free. I use BioKleen - all their products are gluten-free. (the gluten in the handsoap is probably wheat protein to help keep our hands looking lovely, or something like that.)
  25. BRUMI1968
    It was Ecover - the only product they have with gluten - the aloe and something. I just get BioKleen now - they carry no products with gluten. I use their laundry soap too. We're the eco-household. Good luck.
