    Good laughs for this morning - thanks all! As to the Amaranth: I bring to a boil 3 parts water 1 part amaranth, with some salt and cinnamon. When it comes to a boil, I turn it down and put the lid on, walking away for 30 minutes -- kindof like rice really. When it's done I stir it again (weird stuff, kind of hydrophobic) and add lots of almond milk...

    Interesting comments about the food combining. However, I would say about paleolithic person and their food combining, that they had no heavy starches to combine with anything, so starch/protein would never have been an issue. I don't know how often they would eat dried fruit/nuts...that is one that seems to get me in a tissy. I read today an article...

    I have read that you might want to check your stomach acid levels. You can't digest iron or B12 w/o good amounts of stomach acid. Many many people are low on it, especially those over 50. Just a thought. Good luck. p.s. if you have heartburn, it does not mean you have high stomach acid; it means, in most cases anyway, that the sphincter that blocks...

    YES! And this is another frustrating part of the equasion. My partner is always telling me how great raw cheese is for you. Sure, for you maybe? If I eat, I don't poop for a week and when I do, I get wounded. Or garlic - "garlic is good for you". Really, it makes my mother throw up; it makes me bloat out. So this is definitely part of it - no ONE...

    I reread my own post and it sounds more irritated than I meant for it to. I've actually been feeling great, so I have little to complain about. Sorry, all.

    Combine avocados with other fatty nuts. NEVER combine avocados with other fatty nuts. Eat 20% protein every day, but you need to eat animals. Animals kill you and virtually all foods have at least 20% protein. WHAT? How on earth should we know who to listen to? Even folks we trust make mistakes and change their minds - lots of folks have flipflopped...

    I just read that many nuts can go rancid within a week of being removed from their shells. This is mostly the more oily nuts such as walnuts and pecans, etc. There is zero possibility that store bought nuts out of their shells are less than one week old. On top of that, shelled nuts (and seeds by the way) should be refrigerated to keep their oils...

    I would most assuredly avoid the acid blocker unless you've had your stomach acid checked. Most folks (Americans anyway) have low stomach acid, and lowering it further will make you even more challenged to digest your food and get any good out of it. I have skimmed a book called "Why Stomach Acid is Good For You", and it is pretty compelling. Digestive...

    I have trouble keeping on weight when I follow a candida diet religiously. I have a few tips, and please, other folks correct me if they are no-no-s for candida! 1. amaranth. this is a great "grain" (actually a seed or veggie) that you make into hot cereal. It has over 700 calories per cup. I need these calories. They have stabilized me weight loss...

    Consider adding amaranth to your diet. It is a "grain" (actually a seed) which is most often made into hot cereal by boiling it 1 part amaranth to 3 parts water for nearly 30 minutes. This stuff is a nutritional powerhouse. It has lots of fiber, protein, and MAGNESEUM. It also is relatively high in calories for what it is, which I appreciate since I'm...

    For me, Celiac Disease has always been all about bloating and constipation. At the height of my symptoms I could go 5-7 days without pooping at all. Now I can't even imagine that. Anyway, this what I found. 1. gluten (you've got that handled, unless some is sneaking in) 2. DAIRY 3. grains at all I put dairy in all caps because it is a profound...

    watch too for tapioca, though someone probably already said this (I can't recall). But it gives me glutened-like symptoms, and it sounds like it does for plenty of others too. Take care.

    I'm not an expert AND everyone's digestion moves at different rates...but in general - fruit stays in the stomach about 30 minutes to 60 minutes (60 is for banana and the like) fat stays in there up to three hours, and meat salad and veggies and stuff not quite as long As to the intestines, well boy that's just anyone's guess. I think my stomach...

    That's fascinating. Thanks for sharing. I guess I am just trying to say that sometimes we tend to either/or everything to the point of blurring the literally infinite number of possibilities between the two poles. But I'm an English major and a writer, so I put entirely too much import on words and the structure of our languaging. If it's true that...

    To the person talking about the Body Ecology Diet -- I did that for some time, and it helped me immensely. On the BE diet, it would not matter if you were protein or carb type particularly - though it is low sugar/starch carbs...the 80% veggies and 20% protein is probably alright for either type. The Body Ecology works wonders for candida and bacteria...

    You have not described the discharge, but I get a slight discharge when I eat sugar. It is like clockwork -- too much fruit/sugar/agave/maple syrup/dates/etc., discharge. None of those things, no real discharge. It is not like a yeast infection per se in its description more just whitish/clearish and thin. But it definitely responds to sugar. Just...

    I actually think it's nice that your doc said those things are likely all related. Often times, they are so caught up in curing symptoms, they forget about underlying causes, and how they can be the same for many disparate manifestations. I would consider, based just on what you said, that you might have a problem with nightshades (potato, tomato, eggplant...
  18. BRUMI1968
    No problems, I'm sure (unless you were already having problems with your veggie diet). If you get your protein from nuts/seeds/veggies, you can still eat all those things. the only thing I can think of, is that lots of folks are sensitive to other foods, which becomes more noticable to them once they quit gluten. A big culprit is soy; another is...

    I've not had too much trouble with depression in my life, but the anxiety...whoa! I was diagnosed with "Generalized Anxiety Disorder", which means I would have anxiety attacks at random times. (Actually, it turns out almost always they showed up right after eating). These attacks were terrible. I would suddenly get clammy hands, have to poop emergenty...

    tough one! the dairy does come to mind; and the soy. I recently got VERY sick and it was right after I ate a cake I had made (gluten free of course). I couldn't eat anything sweet for a month. Anyway, I think it was the Norovirus, which was going around our town big-time a month later. Maybe I started the trend! Is it possible it was a tummy thing...

    Hi! I'm old (39), but am a college student with Celiac Disease. I know it's no fun on campus...at least you don't live on campus. I live at home and can make myself food to take to school, and I don't stay on campus for more than two classes at a time in any given day really, so I hardly ever have to deal with eating issues on campus. The beer thing is...

    Not 100% sure of my type. I took Dr. Mercola's test online, which turned out to be a huge disappointment - asked me what I already ate, and didn't even give vegetarian choices for crying out loud. I came out protein type on it. Anyway, one thing that lends itself to being a protein type is being hungry a lot and thinking about food a lot - I sure fit into...
  23. BRUMI1968
    I lose. I tend to lose weight on the low carb; but admittedly, I don't eat a LOT of protein...just no starchy carbs and no fruit or sugar of any kind. I am 5'9 and if I eat millet bread or corn tortillas for starch every day, I stay about 130, but if I quit, I eek down to below 125. it's alright I suppose, to be on the lean side, but I'd get worried if...
  24. BRUMI1968
    It's possible your tummy/system (it's actually your intestines gurgling most likely) doesn't like heavy carbs like rice/potato/bread. Could you try having your meat with a salad for a few days and see if that helps? (Salad w/o any dried fruit or croutons or high sugar/starch things.) Or some cooked veggies (not corn or potato or squash)? I don't do well...

    One thing you should know right off the bat is that it is 100% normal for peristalsis to begin when you eat. That's when your intestinals start contracting. If you've ever had a new puppy, they tell you that every time you feed the dog, take them out right after that so they can poop. That said, it's socially weird to poop every time you eat, and like...
