  1. Hi, I like this recipe: Wet ingredients: 1/3 cup coconut oil 1/3 cup honey 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 egg Dry ingredients: 1 cup amaranth flour 1/3 cup ground hazelnuts 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon baking soda Additions: 1/3 cup chopped toasted hazelnuts 1/3 cup chocolate chips Mix wet ingredients well,...
  2. So I am not caught up but I am back. I had an aha moment with dairy yesterday, I had eaten some cheese the night before and had no reactions and then almost 24 hours later I was suddenly very cranky and bloated. So, I failed my monthly cheese test but this time I got the very precise experience of it hitting me. I love cheese. It wasn't even...
  3. Donna, glad to know you are back among us sorry you have been feeling so wretched. Okay, I really am gone now.
  4. I've been thinking about Jin too, I am not surprised she needed a holiday with the amount of work she took on as the Racheville columnist but it would be nice to see her again. She has such a great spirit and is funny and creative and YOO HOO Jin we are talking about you. Rachel I am so impressed by the journey you have taken on, I know you will be...
  5. I've never been presribed anti-biotics by a dentist. I think your assessment of him is correct.
  6. Sorry, I can't be helpful about the numbers but I wanted to say hello and thank you for sharing your story. A gluten free diet may seem overwhelming at first but it is very doable and feeling better is so worth it. You have found a great place for support. As for the bloating wheat always did that to me but since being gluten free I don't have...
  7. I tried the NUBRU, I am sorry to say I thought it was awful. Reading others detailed knowledge of different brews I realize how little I appreciate beer but I do enjoy a bottle of Messenger every now and then.
  8. Very interesting. What about sweet potatoes as a substitute for a little while? Sweet potatoes and yams are definitely not of the nightshade family, plus they have a much higher nutritional content than potatoes.
  9. Hi and welcome. I agree with Happy Girl. I appreciate the desire for answers but if the diet works that may be the most important answer. There are many people on this board who spent years getting progressively more ill because their doctors never suggested a gluten free diet, and the tests they did never showed celiac, you are fortunate to have...
  10. Thanks for the update Julie, I hope she feels better soon, I was wondering about her. Hi, yes and it is a great site to go for if you want to find out how the pharmaceutical companies want us to think! I read the "Victim" of the Feingold diet and it was as if someone had sat down and wrote a script to make mothers think they will ruin their...
  11. I think you bring up an interesting question, I suspect the MRI and I wonder if many others have reacted to an MRI. I hope you feel better soon.
  12. Judy, you are in my prayers.
  13. Hi Sherie, Welcome. Keeping a food journal that includes how you are feeling physically will help you to track the foods that may be a problem. A simple diet may be best, no processed food or sugar. Also, once your B levels go up you will likely feel better, I know I did. Hang in there, it sounds like you may be close to find some answers...
  14. Hi Tom. I am much better and the quote you included really pointed that out for me, I was very ill then. I am so much better, now I want to lose five pounds. I remind myself that is much better to have a couple of extra pounds than to waste away as I was doing but I am so vain. I don't know if you should quit smoking, you might just be...
  15. Thanks for the update Julie. Hi Tom, Thanks for the reminder. I had a yummy bowl of arame, burdock, carrots and ginger that agreed with me yesterday but not today.
  16. There have been some studies showing higher estrogen levels in teenagers that were fed soy milk as babies. Sorry to be "negative", I know it is difficult to find foods that children tolerate, but my feeling is I would seriously investigate the possible consequences of soy milk for babies if I was feeding one. I was a vegetarian through my twenties...
  17. Sorry, I can't help with that. I use good quality salt, Himalayan brand, which has lots of minerals in it. I don't know if you use regular salt but I have heard that table salt has sugar in it. I don't take many supplements because most of them have made me feel worse. I've been dumb too, my sweetie brought me home dish soap - natural ! - and after...
  18. Carla, good points. We buy spring water in the five gallon containers.
  19. Hi Paula. It sounds to me like he is talking about steam distilled but maybe I am wrong, if it is steam distilled then it also removes minerals and we need them.
  20. Hi, what a great partner you are to take on learning how to bake gluten free! Good suggestions above, I wonder how is B levels are? I am under the impression that it is very common for celiacs to have low levels of vitamin B, I know that mine were and that once I addressed that the extreme mood swings and rages subsided. Don't get me wrong, I still...
  21. Hi Liz, welcome. I am not a mom with a celiac child so I don't know how helpful I can be but one of the things on your list, oatmeal, jumped out at me because it is generally considered a food subject to cross contamination, i.e. wheat and oatmeal are rotated as crops in the same field. I would also say that you may be best to stay away from any processed...
  22. Hi Miamia. It is so wonderful to come back and find familiar faces. I use just organic baking soda and add a teaspoon of lemon juice for the acid. I am curious about how your experiement turns out. Welcome Aziza and I am sorry to hear the kind of misery you have had to deal with especially given that it could have been prevented...
  23. Hi Lisa, welcome and yes it is a wonderful forum.
  24. Thanks for the link Rachel, I have been wondering about those bathballs. Have you found it makes any noticeable difference?
  25. ROTFLMAO Thanks Julie. Hi, more important than what I think, though since you don't know me you probably weren't thinking of me, is what do you think? It sounded to me like you didn't feel that you were being heard and the fact that he called it Lymes! Obviously he is not a LLMD. I've done the same thing though not...
