Dylan, I have so been where you are. We've all heard that saying "you are what you eat" and it's very very true. If your filling your body with a subtle poison, it's gonna make you feel like crap. You're waiting for your amalgam appointment anyway, why not consider this a de-tox diet to prepare yourself? Just eat meat and vegetables - stuff that...

ARCHIVED A Gi Or Gp For Celiacs Test? (plus Is My Gp Wrong?)
Jestgar replied to 3groovygirls's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Do you want the genetic test only? Or the blood test too? What will you do if the results are negative? Would you try the gluten-free diet anyway? If the answer is yes, then don't bother getting tested. If you are only willing to eat gluten-free if your test is positive, then ask for it. Your doctor could refuse to order it, and your insurance could... -

Jestgar replied to Silliest of Yaks's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I agree with this. It also gives you ammo for the doc in case it doesn't help: "I completely changed my diet to all this healthy food and it hasn't changed these symptoms. Would do you think I should do?" -

Methinks Emily likes saying the word Burundian So that cemetery... I wandered through the whole thing (pretty small) and saw one spot where the grave had just been dug, and not yet filled. A few days later it had been filled, but no headstone. Then a few days later I walked by after a windstorm and the new resident's flowers had all been knocked... -

A little harder to reproduce, since I didn't do it right the first time 2 yams 2 sweet potatoes 1/2 sweet onion (Walla walla or Vadalia, the flatter they are, the sweeter they are) 2 firm apples, like granny smith. Maybe pie apples is the right description Bacon (I used 4 or 5 slices, but it could've used more) Microwave the bacon and... -
In an attempt to expand my horizons, I went out and bought a bunch of things I normally never eat, threw 'em in a crockpot and cooked overnight. It smelled so great I had to try some this morning and it tastes as good as it smells. It was kind of a dump recipe, but something like this: 2 carrots, sliced 3 small turnips, chunked 1 parsnip, sliced...

Your problem may not be the food, but what you're cooking it on. Have you ever grilled buns on that grill? Did you scrub it afterwards? That might be the problem. Check all your cookware. Get rid of stuff that can't be scrubbed clean (like wooden spoons), separate pots and pans that can't be cleaned well enough and have your husband use those, and...

Swap sounds like fun. Add my name. Does it need to be printed on Salami or summat? As for the weigh-in, go with the 'salty soup' theory. You must have eaten some really salty soup, how else could you be retaining all that water? Gearing up for my walk (in the cold drizzle, remind me a gain why I enjoy this?), but I feel so much better today... -

Benjamin Button - great movie! Well made, keeps you interested the whole time. I had no expectations and didn't really know what it was about when I went to see it, maybe that made a difference. The make-up was amazing. No moon here last night. Just fog -

Ferritin levels take a long time to change. If you eat meat, they'll go up over time. You might want to consider taking iron for a few months as well. -

Jestgar replied to Roda's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Open Original Shared Link Interesting article. Curiously, their memory did not improve, even if the HDL went up, but their memory DID improve when the triglycerides went down (Table 4) and those with high total cholesterol had a better memory than those with low. I'd be interested to see the ratios of HDL to triglycerides to see if that made a difference... -

I actually tried to look this up one time and couldn't find any reference for HDL being too low, when in conjunction with overall low total cholesterol. Do you have a reference for this?
