    Peter made me do it. I finally get into the secret phorum only to discover there's NO secret handshake, NO 10% off forum dues, NO club T-shirt, nuttin. whatever

    That poor cat has a neck rat, just like Lefty. I feel his pain.

    Why don't you try the easiest thing first - stop eating dairy?

    Thought this said 'brownie'. I was gonna cheer you on. :lol:

    My family makes gluten-free food when I go over there, and most of the people at work are very careful to make things I can eat. Yesterday we had a potluck and the woman who brought the cake brought me a bowl of fruit so I'd have something to put my mascarpone espresso topping on. :drool:

    Happens here all the time. One of the benefits of being a grownup.

    Last year I sold my car for a pretty reasonable price. It needed a few repairs, new tires, new brakes, that sort of thing so I took those costs out of the price. A woman on the island bought it for her daughter. I just heard that her daughter totaled the car (no one hurt), and the insurance paid her TWICE what she paid for it. Sometimes you...

    Deciding something is the cause is not the same thing as something being the cause. I hope you discover that your decision is the correct one, and removing your fillings will solve your problems. If not, come back and discuss diets. And yes, switching foods could help your psychosis

    I think that your body knows things that can't necessarily be tested with current technology. Check out some of the sites in this google search: Open Original Shared Link My problem with muscle testing is that it's very very subjective. You'd need a good practitioner, AND you'd need to be open to the possibility that it might work. Sometimes...

    Technically speaking, your DNA does not change. Methylation is more of a masking event, like closing and opening curtains that allow a room to be viewed, or not. The room doesn't change, only access to it.

    Oddly enough, I just read that paper. My student is doing an epigenetics project and we were discussing ways to measure methylation. I think you've misinterpreted the results. What they found was that methylation changes over time cluster in families, which suggests a genetic component to methylation (rather than a purely environmental component). ...

    This reminds of a story I used to love when I was little. Can't remember the point of the story, but it was called Puppycat. "Now Puppycat was not a puppy, and Puppycat was not a cat, she was a Puppycat."

    Do you have a reference for this statement?
  20. Jestgar
    Please try to be a little more respectful of other's views. Human beings are incredibly complex, and what works for one person may not work for another. Just because it doesn't work for you doesn't mean it's bad.

    Gluten free oatmeal should be labeled as such. I hope you find what's making things so difficult for her. Feel free to ask questions here. There are a lot of people with multiple food intolerances, and chances are you'll find someone that can help you. I'm kinda hoping that taking away gluten will make everything better for her Jess

    At least find gluten free oatmeal. I can't offer any suggestions, because I've never been an oatmeal fan, but maybe someone else will chime in. You could also try quinoa as a breakfast food, or cream of rice. I went my entire life not realizing that your tummy wasn't supposed to hurt after eating. I only discovered it when I stopped eating gluten....

    Well, if she's allergic to gluten she's allergic to at least one part of wheat. The tests are not very good. The best way to test her is to take her off wheat and gluten (wheat and also barley and rye) and see if she feels better. Most people stop eating oats as well, at least initially.
  24. Jestgar
    Poor baby! An allergy is an antibody response (IgE). Your body makes antibodies to pieces of proteins. If your daughter has antibodies that recognize a piece of wheat that has a different shape when it's cooked, a test that uses raw protein will register as negative. The gluten peptide may 1) not have a different shape when cooked, or 2) be recognized...

    very cool!
