    ARCHIVED Paleo Diet

    eLaurie replied to lisaemu's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    Feedback from those of you doing this is encouraging. Thanks! I'm six months gluten free, GI issues much better, but depression and anxiety are pretty much unchanged. I'm also at a steady 190 pounds for a 5'5" frame. I've been reading about Paleo and am about ready to try it for a while.

    lol ....I just brought out a sample of Benjamin Moore's "Barley" and didn't even think of the irony. It was too yellow, though, so I'm going to try something else. Enjoy your newly decorated home and your legit "wheat"!

    This site has a good list ...linked and copied and pasted info. It's not comprehensive, but if you'll google anything not on it, you'll have your answer.

    Bumping to say the Memphis Christmas potluck was wonderful!

    My first "glutening" a few weeks into starting the gluten-free diet this summer occurred when I ordered a salad with no croutons but was brought one with them. I explained to my waitress that I couldn't eat croutons and why, so she took away the salad and brought me one (probably the same salad) with the croutons picked off. I thought the few remaining...

    I'm only six months gluten-free and can't make it yet without my psych meds. Of course I started them years before knowing I was Celiac, but they do still help, especially with sleep. A recent bit of encouraging news came from a woman I met at our local Celiac Christmas party. She had more neurological/psychiatric symptoms than GI before diagnosis...

    That's verified by info I have from Columbia University Celiac Center. Their literature lists all extracts as safe.

    There are several women in my mom's family who had premature ovarian failure (POF) in their late 20s early 30s. We had the normal "it just runs in the family", "it's just our genes" response ...same as our thinking regarding intestinal cancers in other family members. Now we know what really runs in the family is Celiac Disease. Here's an abstract regarding...

    Am so hating reading this thread! I just turned 40, started perimenopause symptoms at 28, had my last period at 33. I've been gluten free since June and just these past two weeks I'm having breast tenderness and reversal of vaginal dryness. I'm so scared that PMS, periods, plus a second menopause are in the future. I've been elated having a happier belly...

    The Memphis group meets the fourth Monday night at of each month at Wild Oats. Don't think there will be a fourth Monday meeting in December since that falls on Christmas. There is, however, a potlock Christmas Party planned for Dec 11 at 6:30 at a group members home in Memphis. Lisa Trenthem, the contact person listed on the Wild Oat calendar sent...

    My maternal great grandfather was an Irish immigrant. Possible gluten related disorders in the family include two other women besides me with premature ovarian failure, numerous poopy/pooty people including my grandfather who died of GI cancer, an autistic nephew who has responded almost miraculously to the gluten free diet.

    How can I track threads in which I've posted? And is it possible to subscribe to threads I haven't posted in yet? Thanks

    Sorry, I posted an answer this morning but must have hit preview instead of add reply. Chemistry is so not how my brain is wired, so take heart! I plodded ...didn't cut classes, reviewed after lecture, asked questions when lost so the next class wasn't murkier still. I didn't enjoy general chem and organic but liked getting to medical biochemistry...

    Oh, Amen! I've long preferred a variation of the Mediterranean one, but I work with dialysis pts so none really apply to them. I haven't checked to see if there's a Celiac pyramid; if not, maybe we need to formulate one!

    Notice he's offline today. Guess I should check out Nashville area florists, huh?

    LOL ...that sounds like a plan! Vincent, In addition to the shake, you might consider adding one of those blooming onions I've been missing from Outback. Eat the whole thing, with an extra serving of sauce, incorporating it into your usual diet plan. With the additional fat, plus the lovely naturally occuring syn-propanethial-S-oxide and...

    I'm Methodist, and our church uses a loaf of bread that we each take a small piece of; instead of wine in a chalice we use grape juice in individual little cups. Last Communion, I only took juice. I read on another forum that some people (Lutherans and Anglicans, I think) actually bake and take a loaf of gluten-free bread that's consecrated and used...

    You're welcome. It all gets confusing, I know. I get confused about medicine and nutrition on a daily basis ...and get paid for it. I feel so sorry for people with health problems these days who don't have health care provider friends or family. Unless you have great googling skills and are able to discern what is or isn't trustworthy info, it...

    I'm hoping to learn this week that my sister (a family Nurse Practitioner) can go with me to their symposium/forum in November. If she can't go, I can't afford lodging alone, so am praying she can. The symposium is for physicians and researchers, but the clinical forum is open to patients. If you're interested, don't let the symposium fees scare...

    Gallbladders cannot 'grow back'. They're storage organs for bile produced by the liver; bile still is produced by the liver and is delivered directly to the GI tract after the gallbladder is removed. This causes irritation to some patients, none at all to others, and some like you for a period of time after which the body adjusts. Kinesiologists are...

    Robin, this is part of my prayer for you and your son. That you will heal gluten-free, that your relationship will heal, and that he will be inspired by you to better care for himself. God bless, dear sister, Laurie

    Count me in, wherever, I'll be there! I'm new to all this, but wondered about getting Annalise Roberts involved ...good promotion for her cookbook, maybe contacting OSI Restaurant Partners, Inc. for sponsorship. Most of their restaurants have gluten free menus on their websites. Again, great exposure for them. Open Original Shared Link From...

    Don't let this dishearten you, Jacob. From the article: Our cases demonstrate that neurological symptoms may be the first manifestations of celiac disease and may not respond to or even progress during a gluten-free diet. I have some problems with their conclusion. Case study #2 didn't stick to the diet yet still improved; Case #3 did show...
