    Not to be my usual killjoy, but even one glass of wine a day for women can increase cancer risk. Look for the studies online. Dr. Mercola and elsewhere. Hardly anyone talks about how the goodness found in wine is also found elsewhere...grapes, tomatoes, tea. Just be on the cautious side with wine or any alcohol, especially if you're a woman, and...

    Another interesting thing about nightshades, is that they require calcium for metabolizing. This means that if you eat nightshades and don't have enough calcium around in your meal, you'll suck it out of your bones to digest the nightshades. SWEET POTATOES are not a nightshade; they are in the marigold family. If you're worried about missing out on...

    Yeah, I make raw burgers. Sunflower seeds, celery, carrot, onion, cilantro, etc., plus some flax seed; then dehydrated for about 5 hours. Pretty good.

    I would say: 1. include winter squashes and sweet potatoes (not nightshades) 2. eat plenty of avocado and coconut oil, if you can handle either/both 3. nut milks can really help keep on weight. Homemade are best if you have a high speed blender; but storebought will do. I don't know. Hopefully someone else has some ideas as well. I'm in the...

    I know the raw grainless diet makes me feel hungry all the time. It is harder to get 2,000 calories a day from veggies and fruits, unless they're dried. So it's the nuts and meat and avocado and coconut where you're getting the calories. I have to add in sweet potato or something to feel full.

    My friend just read in mother jones that lots of regular supermarket beef is actually fed garbage from garbage dumps. I only eat grass fed beef from a local place. It's expensive, though.

    I'm not able to eat the dried fruit - this causes me to be very gassy, and in a not-so-rosy-smelling way. This is especially true if I eat it in conjunction with nuts, but either way, I can't comfortable do it. It also makes me bloated. I wonder if I am having residual yeast problems, or if my system just doesn't tolerate it.

    I think lots of vinegar is acid - but apple cider vinegar is not. It could be the acid that they are not wanting us to eat, because the meat and nuts are already acid. The veggies and fruits are alkaline. We definitely want to be on the alkaline side of things. I was grain free for a while and felt great. Best I've ever felt. For some reason, i started...

    Is it open? If not, you can open it (I assume it's air sealed) and use it promptly. You're better off griding your own though, because it goes rancid which is tough on your intestines - causes inflammation. I've had flax that was turning - you can taste it. However, it's hard to find unmilled AND not in the bulk section. I don't know how strongly you...

    But Sunshine is the only soy free one, to my knowledge. I can't help but notice, Nyxie, that you tested somewhat allergic to soy in your intradermal testing (in your signature). Soy is one of the top allergens (wheat, corn, soy, dairy) and I wonder if you wouldn't be better off staying away from it. There are also many drawbacks to soy that have...

    I've noticed I tend to get more bloated before my period - I mean intestinally bloated, not water retnetion. But it usually has a cause other than that - like I'm just less able to cope with little bugaboos (non-gluten ones I mean) near my period. I also tend to get a tender tummy during that time, though I've also noticed that seasonal allergies to tree...

    There are large families of foods that many folks are allergic or reactive to: 1. GRAINS: gluten (obviously), corn, rice (not so much in the "west"), tapioca (grain?) 2. SOY 3. DAIRY 4. NIGHTSHADES: potato, tomato, eggplant, peppers/chilies, and tobacco 5. EGGS Eggs, soy, dairy, and wheat are the top allergens. So it makes the most sense to start...

    Look for coconut bliss ice cream. And check out Enjoy Life brand for soy-free stuff. Coconut blissssssssssssss.
  14. BRUMI1968
    It sounds like folks have given you great answers/experiences. I was bloated and uncomfortable from about 2 years old to about 38 years old. I would go from a 28 inch waist to a god-knows-what waiste, definitely pregnant looking, doubled over in pain, have to unbuttton pants, etc. These are the things that helped me: 1. quitting gluten 2. quitting...

    Well, I don't know anything about the growth part. I'm pretty tall myself. My stepdaughter who just turned 19 is only 4'11. She is always the shortest gal around, and she won't get any taller we figure. Her grandma is also only 4'11. I can't tell by your username if your male or female...so it's hard to know the social stigma attached to not being very...

    Sunshine burgers don't have gluten or soy, and are based on beans. Open Original Shared Link (I don't eat soy or beans, but used to and remember these being pretty good, especially the black beany/southwesty one. Enjoy! Also, you can make garden burgers yourself by using nuts/seeds and ground up veggies. Flax would hold them together I think...

    I have tested positive (blood) for Celiac, but am "allergic" to nothing according to ELISA tests. According to Enterolab stool test, I'm having an antibody reaction to soy, but not yeast or egg to any discernable degree. there are things I 100% know I can't eat: honey, for example...ooo the tummy ache. Potatoes give me terrible stool problems. Right...

    I'd guess fat...or pcb's....but probably not the latter. fresh salmon gets me sometimes from fat.

    ARCHIVED Menstruation

    I read once that something to try if you have terrible periods - is not eating reproductive products of other animals: milk, eggs ... and probably avoiding other high hormone influencing foods like soy. I have not tried it myself...well, at least not for long...and I've only every had intermittent cramps. Good luck to you.

    I also forgot the symptom of bruising. When I was diagnosd with ITP I hand't realized that I had bruises on either side of my elbow by about five inches each - so a huge bruise on each arm along the elbows - from resting my head in my hands with my elbows on the desk. Anyway, good luck.

    Darnit! I'm so itchy. It works like this. I have a couple spots of really dry skin (excema?) but mostly no markings at all, just crazy itching, mainly when fabric is pressed against my skin. It does not matter the fabric. So for example, I get most of the itching when I go to bed, lean back in a chair, wear tight clothes (long johns), etc. Also, my...

    I wonder if you're thinking of the Gluten enzyme one. The digest Gold has nothing to digest gluten in them...they are just a regular digestive enzyme.

    Do the pants have any spandex in them? It used to be we would buy pants that were too big, knowing they would shrink (I'm 40 y.o. - so think levis, and other pants as well). Nowadays, lots of pants have spandex, so they stretch when you wear them. I have pants that for the first hour out of the dryer are miserable, but by the end of the day might seem...

    I used them when first diagnosed and after I visited the nutritionist. At first, they really seemed to help. Then I started feeling really acidy, so I quit taking them, and my digestion stayed fine. A year later (about a year ago now) I started having big time problems - having to poop quite suddenly, never very friendly ones, usually while walking the...

    Also if you have insurance, consider getting a CBC (Complete Blood Count) to get an idea of your platelet count. Think if you have any other "bleeding" symptoms like while brushing your teeth (more than usual) or extra periods in the month or heavier periods, etc. Also, if you have any little red dots on your skin, like where your shoes touch the tops of...
