    Not so sure I agree with this. When I first started taking B complex, it didn't turn my pee bright yellow. This has been changing over months. The only thing I can think is that originally my body absorbed everything and now it has less need.

    Hi Margaret, Not vegan, but I don't particularly care for meat, so I don't eat much of it. I keep bags of frozen veggies and cans of beans. In the morning I throw whatever sounds good into a frying pan with a little olive oil. Lunch is usually salad or a can of progresso soup which I keep in my desk drawer. I try to bring in baggies of dried fruit...

    OK, I might officially hate you. I'll have to drag my butt out of this site long enough to know, however.

    The mirena releases progesterone. It would be a less systemic way of getting progesterone than the mini pills. It's used to treat abnormal menstrual bleeding.

    I'm sorry you're feeling mopey, I hope it doesn't last. My birthday came after I'd been gluten-free for 7 months, so I was more used to it, and I guess I haven't liked cake (hmmm.....) for several years so I didn't miss it. Carla has a good point, there's more to birthdays then cake! You should get ice cream and confetti! And then order yourself something...

    I'm afraid it's time to start a food diary and try to narrow down other foods that might be causing you problems.

    I food process together dates and walnuts. If you can't have walnuts try dark chocolate and coconut flakes with the dates. I roll them into balls and keep 'em in the frig.

    Jenny, if you're still in Alaska you can get an IUD without having been pregnant. Google Mirena, it really has helped a lot of women.

    You can always try the "I've been hearing a lot about this and I want to rule it out before doing more invasive tests" then ask for the whole Celiac panel.

    I am totally pro-dirt. Except for known sources of very bad things (pork, chicken, bathrooms) I have a casual approach to "cleanliness". I never use Purell, don't buy anti-bacterial soaps or wipes, don't drink bottled water, mop my floor occasionally, and leave the spiders in my house (mice, however, are another story). I think you should live in harmony...

    A new priest at his first mass was so nervous he could hardly speak. After mass he asked the monsignor how he had done. The monsignor replied, "When I am worried about getting nervous on the pulpit, I put a glass of vodka next to the water glass. If I start to get nervous, I take a sip." So next Sunday he took the monsignor's advice. At the beginning...

    Two hillbillies walk into a restaurant. After ordering their cornbread and beans, they talk about the latest addition to their junkyard business. Suddenly, a woman at a nearby table, who is eating a sandwich, begins to cough. After a minute or so, it becomes apparent that she is in real distress. One of the hillbillies looks at her and says "Kin ya...

    Well, if I ever find a genie in a lamp I'm gonna wish for a pain-free-box so that everyone I know can go into it for a while and come out with no owies whatsoever.

    ARCHIVED Dairy Free-

    Jestgar replied to a topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    I avoid it after lunch, and am dairy light the rest of the time. Although I know it isn't doing me any good to eat it, the only symptom that bothers me is not being able to sleep, so that's the only one I control for.

    Well if you and your bro are ever going to be in Seattle for a few days, come be part of our study. Open Original Shared Link Only the people drawing blood actually know who you are, so I wouldn't be able to tell you anything about yourself, but, you know, all the "betterment of the world" stuff.

    If it's RA, which is an inflammatory reaction, any inflammation could make it worse. Tylenol will help with the pain, but not the inflammation. Ibuprofen or naproxen will help with both pain and inflammation as will aspirin. I remember something about parsley being a mild anti-inflammatory, but I don't know any specifics. Acupuncture is supposed to...

    A gene is the name for the section of DNA that encodes a certain protein. Allele is used when the coding is different, but the protein is basically the same. Like having two houses painted two different colors (because you have two of each gene; one from each parent). Each house is a gene, but you have the red allele, and the green allele. So unless...

    If you are monozygotic (and a lot aren't, they just look the same), you still haven't been genetically identical since moments after your embryo split into two. DNA is modified throughout our lifetimes (like protein filters applied that lets certain sections be read and covers up other sections). So depending on what order you were attached to the placenta...

    A lot of people recommend a rotation diet where you don't eat the same thing for more than two days in a row. I didn't do this strictly, but I did try to pay attention and not, for example, eat rice every day for two weeks.

    I would use a new strainer for the gluten-free pasta. You've probably used the old one multiple times for regular pasta and the gluten is snuggled into every single available crevice. ( I still use my old strainer for rinsing veggies in cold water).
