    I like this dressing I concocted: some mineola juice (or other sweet orange) some lemon juice (balsamic vinegar - but I think it'll be fine w/o) (dash o-mustard - but doesn't that usually have vinegar?) dash of sugar dash of salt & pepper you wisk that together THEN you slowly wisk in the olive oil and it will get kindof creamy It...

    I wouldn't think you would GAIN weight on vegetarian diet...I probalby lost a few pounds when I did it 15 years ago. What if you took the best of vegetarianism - which is vegetables (and fruits and nuts) - and added more of it to your diet than you eat now. (The best veggies are the non-starchy ones.) Whatever you do, don't add cheese and soy to...

    Hey guys. I'm 37 and I have a bloated tummy too...and have been gluten-free for about two months; wheat free for about two years. The first thing I would try is: 1. quit dairy, soy, and corn. These are the high allergen foods. With them out of the system, see if it's better. Then add one back a time until the bloat comes back. This way you can...

    I agree. I have been home-making my trail mix - so I just shut out the walnuts for a while. If you've never had it (and are a millionaire) walnut butter is AMAZING!

    I went gluten-free and some of my symptoms went away instantly (canker sores and itching), others lingered (bloating and constipation). I did some reading and decided to quit all grains. Since doing that 8 days ago, my gums have entirely stopped bleeding, my fingernails have become stronger again, everything looks sharper. My bloating didn't get better...

    I read it. It was certainly helpful.

    Just to repeat - gluten or no, many of those meds cause insomnia.

    I recall that sugar-eaters had more bites...but there was something else too......

    My hubby is O and he NEVER gets bit. I'm A+ and I would always get bit (until last year!)
  10. BRUMI1968
    I have had the same experience, though from quitting wheat two years ago. I still get bit now and again, but for the most part, no. It used to be I got bit ALL THE TIME, and my husband never did. It's tough to get him t shut screen doors. but anyway, if you're dreaming, I'm having the same dream.

    black pepper also stimulates appetite.

    Ah, globalization. Why the caramel coloring anyway? That goes against all things tequila, as far as I can tell.
  13. BRUMI1968
    Wheat, corn, dairy, and soy are the big allergens, and for good reason. It's now believed that their structure (protein surrounded by a carb coating) mimicks antibodies (also proteins with a carb-like coating), sending the immune system into a flurry of confusion. These four substances are high allergens in dogs and people - and most dogs don't have Celiac...

    I don't drink...but you keep saying European rules for caramel coloring...shouldn't tequila come from Mexico?

    My vanilla actually says GLUTEN FREE on it. I got it at the healthfood store. If you like, I can go dig up the brand.

    I definitely saw a decrease in anxiety attacks after going wheat free (hadn't yet been dx'd celiac). I'm not sure I noticed right away...but one day I thought, wow, I haven't had an anxiety attack in six months. It was a dramatic change.

    I went vegetarian (except fish) about 15 years ago. Bacon was the hardest thing to give up, though I didn't eat it often. There is just nothing like it. Today I made my husband some bacon for brekkers and it didn't smell good to me at all. Well, cooking it smelled fantastic - but if I put my nose right up to it - YUCK! Today I had apple/almond...

    It's my understanding, and i could be wrong, that you'd have to test your hair to get an accurate reading for mercury, since the metal molecules can stick to the inside of cells and not show up in urine or blood. I'm not trying to be a pest - I just wondered if you'd gotten your hair tested. Greenpeace is running a mercury testing program whee for $2...

    I realized this a.m. that since quitting grains/beans, I have not woken up with a stomach ache (which I did every day for many years). My only problem is that when I'm having a BM, I feel AWFUL. I feel like I'm seized by a horrible cold clammy cramp that is practically tying me in knots. The stuff itself is fine - easily expelld, not too scary. The...

    RE talking to your stomach -- my therapist has long wanted me to do "guided imagry" work. This would be where I would go inside myself and see what was there or what/who wanted to talk. We talked about finding out why my stomach is so tender all the time. (My therapist has celiac, by the way). I've always been afraid to do it, like something terribly...

    All ths talk of slimy lunch meat - maybe I'll stay a land-animal vegetarian!

    What the heck is an epi pen? Still...funny. I have a friend from Iraq who is a doctor here in the states. She hates it when I come over because in Arab culture, it is absolutely unacceptable not to have food out for your guests. Every time I visit (we're working on a project, so it's plenty), she runs through everything she has in her pantry. No...

    I've been doing the paleo diet for about a week now. It's tough, in that we're used to having things to absorb sauces and the like (rice, bread, potato, pasta, etc.) and now I have none of that. But, an early report would be: I feel better. I'll update in a month or so (if I'm able to stay happy on nuts/berries/salmon - which I probably will be able...

    This is not an answer to your question...but...when I was pregnant several years ago, the hair on the back of my head became way more curly. It still is, even though I neither had the baby (miscarriage) nor am pregnant. I also can no longer eat right before car trips, or be hungry on car trips (a bit of a trap, there) or I'll get nasueus, which I never...

    This intrigues me. Self-protection would be something that evolves. First, we let our parents care for us; then we slowly take the lead, testing out the waters, then finally being our own self protectors. I've clearly had digestive problems since I was a very young child - probably Celiac from that ae (I know I have it now). When we're children, we cannot...
