    I've long had problems with Constipation. Had it pretty well cured a few years ago when I went Dairy Free (b4 going gluten-free a year later). Now I get it if I eat even the smallest amount of dairy products. I do also get it sometimes for reasons I never do pinpoint. You should make sure you're getting enough soluble fiber, and not just insoluble fiber...

    If not a vegetarian/vegan, then I understand cod liver oil is a good source, and a good source of fatty acids. I live in super sunny climes, including in the winter. I have read that D3 is best if you need to supplement.

    BRUMI1968 replied to rebe09's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    soy is not dairy or gluten, so in that sense it's fine. soy is a high allergen food, however. you're probably better off with rice or hemp or almond, and maybe rice being the best of all fat-wise. sometimes it takes us a while to get back to being able to digest fats and such. anyway, yes, they are all fine so long as you check the brand and make sure...

    You are doing so great! It is awesome that even though you did not have very intense symptoms, you are quitting gluten because it is indeed true that eating any of it will make your small intestine unable to do its job. I've had active Celiac since I was a small child and did not get diagnosed until I was 37 or so - a long time to have diminished nutrient...

    I do not know specifically of it. But for a spell, I did grain free/legume free. It went very well for me. I lost some weight (but not too much), my bloating issues went way down (so long as I also ate zero sugar). Ultimately as a vegetarian, it did not work too well - but for a while when I was doing Paelo diet, it worked great. Couldn't quite stick...

    AS to the tongue - does it seem like TRUSH? A yeast infection of the mouth? That would be triggered by antibiotics. As to causation factors ... I don't know. But I was on amoxacyllin a lot as a kid, and ended up with ITP (autoimmune blood disease) and triggered Celiac. It's certainly a theory out there.

    Open Original Shared Link This is a very good article by my nutritionist in Bellingham, WA. I can't recall if I posted it already. For me, the part about bile secretion seems really important - I am having problems digesting fat, and that really helps explain how. Everyone take care!

    I did have a month period where I was afraid to go on doggie walks and the like for fear I'd have to suddenly and painfully go poop. I had all these tests done that came out negative. I think it was adding acidoph/probiotics OR time that finally fixed it - hard to say if it was coincidence or not on the probiotics. But I"m be sure I'm on a good probiotic...

    If your discomfort is higher in the abdomen, like toward stomach area instead of lower intestine, you might consider Small Bowel Bacterial overgrowth as a possible problem for you. I often get sickly stomach and then it goes away when I move my bowels. On the other hand, my bowels movements are typically constipated and overly firm, whereas you may have...

    It's funny how there are so many theories of weight loss...and all of them no doubt work for some and not others. One thing to watch for is your fat intake. I say this because I recently read a book called 80/10/10 by Dr. Graham. It is an all raw diet of mostly fruits, with tender greens and some but very little overt fat (almonds, walnuts, seeds, avocado...

    A lot of the important part of our digestion happens in the small intestine. For example, that is where we release lactase in order to digest lactose, and it is where we handle sugars as well. If your small intestine is damaged, you may find it needs time to repair before you can digest lots of foods very well. I have been gluten free for two years and...

    hi all. saw this on my FDA update of recall info: Tofutti Brands Inc. Announces Precautionary Recall of 12 Pallets of Vanilla Cuties Due to Possible Trace Level Milk Contamination (May 11) Wed, 13 May 2009 10:37:00 -0500 Tofutti Brands Inc. has completed a precautionary investigative recall of 12 pallets of its 8-Pack VANILLA CUTIES mini sandwich...

    Tried that. Trying this. Nothing beats mixing "science" with experience. It'll never cease to amaze me how in 2009, the medical profession can't agree on what is "good for us" and "bad for us". The "evidence" abounds on all sides: high protein, high carb, high good fat, etc. To be honest, what I liked about this diet is that philosophically speaking...

    I can't wait for something other than banana and orange, that's for sure. Thanks for the response. I'm always excited when folks here are experimenting with ideas for deeper health. I know the guy I read (I think his name is Douglas Graham) frowns on any superfoods of any kind, since they are dehydrated and such. My smoothies have been banana, orange...

    Hi all. I just wanted to say that I've been trying the 80/10/10 diet with some success. The premise is to eat at least 80% carbs every day; less than 10% fat, and less than 10% protein. The carbs are raw fruits and greens - mostly fruits. I know the general response to such an idea of eating so much fruit - the blood sugar and the candida and the like...

    To the original question -- I suggest looking up insoluble fiber vs. soluble fiber. Insoluble fiber is indigestible - it is going to come out of us largely unchanged, though I suppose in some folks it might be more obvious than others. IBS sufferers (and probably everyone to a lesser degree) have trouble with insoluble fiber. Insoluble fiber is fiber...

    Raw cobbler is REALLY good. You take fruit that was frozen, such as cherries, but really whatever you want. Then you put it in a huge bowl and let it thaw. Then you add in the yummy mixture of nuts, coconut, dates...put in the food processor to make a crumbly texture. It is super good, has no refined sugar, does not cook out any of the fruity nutrients...

    I have heard that millet plays havoc on the thyroid.

    Does cooked sauerkraut have probiotics? Or only raw sauerkraut? Raw sauerkraut is easy to make, so maybe you should just make your own to be totally safe. If you look it up on the Internet, it sounds easy. I have not yet tried it, but plan to very soon.

    I see your signature line says adrenal fatigue...I think I'm struggling with that myself. I will say that most 'travel' or snack food seems to be sweet. Like Lara bars. I love them; they are healthy; but I can't eat them due to my probable candida, hypoglycemia, and adrenal fatigue. So...I've started taking boiled eggs on road trips (with salt and...

    Typically sufferers of Celiac are very low on B12, which is only found in animals...eggs and fish would both have B12 (though not as much as red meat). I was a vegan for several years; now eat eggs and some fish - it might help to take an enzyme that has HCI in it, or drink a bit of RAW Apple Cider Vinegar in water five minutes before eating. This will...

    I was diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder many years ago, and going gluten free knocked it out completely. I have had probably two attacks since then, both of them after being glutened.

    Yes, I would start with CBC. If you have good insurance, also insist on a FREE T3 test and a FREE T4 test and a TSH test. Those are all thyroid - and they are not on a CBC. If you are paying for stuff, I'd start with the CBC since it tells multiple things. Remember, even if the tests come back 'normal', watch for low or high 'normal' results. You...
