    Actually, AS important as getting the omega fats, is getting them in the right proportion. You're average American diet provides a ratio of 10-1 Omega 6 to Omega 3. The ratio should be 1 to 1. If you eat gluten-free but still eat a lot of grains, corn-fed beef, etc etc., you're getting too much Omega 6 to your Omega 3 ratio. I personally, would not supplement...

    It sounds like you eat a lot of grains in the form of gluten substitutes. You mention a grain at every meal. I would consider trying to decrease the amount of grains you're eating - they have anti-nutrients in them, can block mineral absorption, and have some other issues surrounding the fact that they're lectins.

    Yeah, I'm having real good luck with it on day 3. I probably eat more nut butters and more oil than she suggests; for the most part, I don't have trouble digesting it. Tomorrow I am going to try to make the veggies - I bought some of her starter to get me going, but then will transfer juice from old jar to new jar, that is provided that it works. I hope...

    Do you not eat the yellow because you don't like it? Or because you have trouble digesting the fat? I think eggs are so perfect (I hope I'm not allergic - I find out next week) because they have all the little baby chicken needs - they are a whole food. I usually try to eat them whole. Poached is my favorite.

    I take DigestGold, but they are enormously expensive. They are about 25.00 a bottle, and that bottle only lasts three weeks or so. I've bought cheaper ones, and find they work not quite as well, but nearly so. I probably only need to take one at this point, and I'm still swallowing two - so that might make more sense. Anyway, they are gluten-free, and...

    I'm with you, and I'm glad you started this thread. I'm of the mind that my body is the vehicle through which I experience my life. Thus, I want it to be in tip top shape. Finding out I had Celiac disease has certainly taken that in some new directions I would not have expected. One thing I've recently tried is quitting all grains and beans (already...

    Neither my mother nor I can touch garlic. It makes me so bloated and miserable. I think it makes her feel sick to her stomach for a couple days. Hey Carla. I've just gone on the body ecology diet, the purpose of which is to de-yeast and rebuild the good bacteria in the colon. So I'm day 11 w/o any grains of any kind (which has done wonders)...

    I had quit wheat and dairy two years ago. When I quit gluten two months ago, somehow my constipation and extremely bloated belly came back. What finally seems to have worked for me, though it's only been about three days, is quitting all grains and all things that are sugary - fruit, sweet veggies, sweetners other than Stevia. My gut swelling has gone...
  9. BRUMI1968
    Yeah, Florastor is the same way. It also can be used to fight diarrhea on a shorter term.

    Barb, I'm new, so I'll accept your thanks only in the broad sense of being part of the board. I find the folks here have helped me as well. There are so many hidden sources of gluten - and there are so many symptoms and setbacks - it's nice to hear from real live human beings who know so much more and so much more intimately than doctors. I'm...

    Yeah, knocking out all grains helps avoid the "gluten-free" foods, since they are all based on grain. No more Pamela's. I think one hard thing is the no beans rule. This isn't about sugar really, but about lectins - well, they also feed yeast with their sugar-coating so to speak. I made my husband some chili last night (gluten-free amy's black bean...

    I like to sautee greens (beet greens, chard, etc.) for just a couple minutes with leek or shallot, then lemon-juice it. Ooo, I also like Brussels sprouts sauteed for about five minues (after cut up really fine) - then put balsamic vinegar on them (or apple cider vinegar if you haven't found a gluten-free balsamic)...if you do cheese, then you add the parm...
  13. BRUMI1968
    My addiction is maple syrup too. Actually, having gone the 10 days w/o grains of any kind is making the no sugars of any kind a bit easier for me I'm sure. Plus, this Stevia crap isn't too bad - it makes your tea taste sweet, though you can't put your finger on what kind of sweet, which I normally enjoy (honey sweet, maple syrup sweet, turbinado sweet...

    The gal who devised the diet doesn't like store-bought sauerkraut due to the salt. However, she does have, on their website, an approved brand...not hers, but one that she likes. I will say that after 36 hours my bloating is substantially less. But I've lost 3 # in the last week or two, and I don't really have that to lose. I am only now adding land...

    I just quit fruit yesterday. I've had no sugar or sugary fruits for a day and a half now. I will say that my bloating went down. I've also slowed down on the probiotics...instead taking one called florastor which is a yeast rather than bacteria. Anyway, I'll keep you posted on my progress...but I'm not planning on adding fruit back for another two...
  16. BRUMI1968
    Yeah. I've read the book. I just ignore her whenever she starts trying to sell me some of her products. Here's what I figure I'm going to do. Go on her version of the diet for two weeks (the absolutely no fruit and sugar part). The add back some fruit. I think fruit is healthy. I'm undecided on the kefir. I don't do dairy right now, and I have...

    Which mountains?
  18. BRUMI1968
    Did you find it helped? It is similar to the paleo diet, which I like, but I'm finding I'm still bloated. So I thought maybe yeast might be the problem, and looked for a cleansing diet. I'm day one w/o any sugar or fruit, and I'll admit that my bloating has diminished quite a bit already. I already hadn't done grains for ten days, so that was easy...

    I called a company to find out if their product had gluten in it. Their answer, "Oh no, it's entirely sugar free." People in America are sorely undereducated about Celiac. Annoying, ins't it?
  20. BRUMI1968
    Have you specifically verified they're gluten free? I've thought about switching to them.
  21. BRUMI1968
    I use Dr. Haushka's - but they have wheat germ oil in a lot of their products. They claim the gluten is processed out...I'm going to find a new one when this bottle runs out - but I'll miss it - it is good stuff!

    I am contemplating the "Body Ecology Diet", which is mostly a candida elmination diet. Anyone here tried it?
  23. BRUMI1968
    Stomach: more 'nervous' or 'tight', sometimes so hungry I think I'll throw up, wake up feeling ookily. Abdomen: bloated beyond belief, pressure pain, often stabbing pain in one or another part, pain from bloating to where I can't stand up straight. But most of that is gone now.
  24. BRUMI1968
    I definitely agree not to change to soy milk. Rice milk is better, but watch out for RICE DREAM, it has gluten in it. I think it is Pacific brand that is alright to get. Almond milk is pretty good too...but I'd be sure there's no barley malt or brown rice syrup in it. Some folks are allergic to the casein in milk, others to the lactose, so it's hard...
  25. BRUMI1968
    I don't know if you've figured out a dessert since I haven't read to the bottom of this post, but applesauce with maple syrup is pretty good. I'm not on the SCD, I'm on the Paleolithic diet, which sounds quite a bit different since I'm not allowed beans, grains, dairy of any kind - easy enough since I've been off dairy for two years, but the beans I miss...
