Nice *friend*, Judy :angry: I'm with Rachel--she gained all her weight back and added some more besides. Sounds like she's jealous and dosen't want to admit that you succeeded at something that she didn't. Kind of petty, considering you had to get sick and completely change your way of eating. Don't let that get you down ;):D

Okay, I know I've been gone for a while but I don't remember this part.... what "mess" did you get yourself into? Was it the "sweet potato madness?" :D

Hi Floridian,

Yeah....I was talking about the sweet potatoes. I guess I was right about them because every single day last week I had loose stools and ever since I stopped eating them the bm's are normal again. Stupid sweet potatoes. <_<

Okay, I went to the first site and printed out all 7 pages and read through them. I would not be at all surprised if what they're saying is true (glutamic acid can cause health problems).

BUT--where are the studies they are quoting? Why aren't they cited so we can read them as well? The fact that they don't list the specific studies takes so much from their credibility. It's just as bad as the vaccine manufacturers bleating, "Studies show that vaccines are safe."

I'm sorry, but I want to read the studies on which they base their claims.

One other thing was kind of weird: "It has been repeatedly demonstrated that infant animals fed processed free glutamic acid when young develop neuroendocrine problems such as gross obesity, stunted growth, and reproductive disorders later in life, and that they also develop learning disablities."

Um, I didn't know that they could measure learning disabilities in animals, or that learning disabilities in animals have even been identified. And they didn't cite any studies showing when and where this has been demonstrated.

I'm not arguing with their conclusion (yet). But shouldn't they back up their claims with specific studies?

OK...just did a quick search cuz I'm only on my lunch break...I didnt find the sites I'd seen previously but found some results of various studies that were done. I remember reading that there have been something like over 400 studies done on lab animals so there should be plenty of info. out there. I'll look more later too.

Also I found this link but havent checked it yet.

If you are one of the few who can still believe that MSG is good for us, and you don't believe what John Erb has to say, see for yourself. Go to the National Library of Medicine, at Open Original Shared Link < http://www.pubmed.com> . Type in the words "MSG Obese" and read a few of the 115 medical studies that appear

I didn't say I believe that it's good for us! Where did you get that idea? :blink:

I just think it's ridiculous to say "studies show that..." and not name those studies! It makes it look less than truthful.

Thank you for posting the links!

Oh...sorry. I actually didnt write it. I just pulled up that whole paragraph and pasted it with the link cuz I was in a hurry on my lunch break. I dont even know who John Erb is?? :huh:

Thanks for the links Rachel. I wish now that I had kept up with info on msg. I unknowingly consumed more than I would have liked to during the last pregnancy. With all the msg sprayed on crops now it will be a wonder if that many children now grow up without some sort of problem(s). :angry:

:(:( I wish I could eat out :(:(

I just came home from another really fun night out. It was only a movie...but if I could eat out like the rest of the world around me the night could start earlier and end later. Know what I mean? ;)

I'm pouting right now.

Anyways, I'm not really prepared for getting interested in anybody. Its not exactly part of my

"plan" ya know. I was suppossed to get better first. :(

I've totally stuck to the "plan" for 2 years now...I havent accepted any dates or anything....just focused on my health. Its actually been really good for me since I've never been single or had "time off" since I was under 16. I've learned alot about myself.

Only reason I started going out with this guy is cuz we're friends...so no big deal. Now I'm really liking spending time with him.....maybe a little too much. :ph34r:

Also I dont know if he's at all interested in me. Guess time will tell. :)

Oh, he did say that when he dates someone he likes to take them to different restaraunts and try all different foods. Guess if he ever did wanna date me he'd have to be a little more creative huh? Or we could just keep going to all the movies and hope we dont run outta stuff to see. :P

Rachel-

I feel for you. I have been doing more latley and its great but its frustrating becasue I feel like if I can do some of the normal stuff why can't I do more- Like GO Out to eat!! or go for a drink. I was never a huge drinker but god I miss meeting friends for a quick drink so badly. And I was always a huge eater so I definitly miss going out for a quick bite. being sick just puts so many limits on what you can do. I know I ahve to be disiplined I just wish I was getting more positive results.

It sounds like this guy does like you. And think about it he likes going out and trying new foods you could introduce him to foods that he would never find out about with a regular chick- millet, quinoa, weird vegees.

LMAO!!! :lol::lol:

I'm thinking that would be a great way to scare him off....in case I dont like him later!! :lol:

I know I'd be scared if the situation was reversed....quinoa is gross! :P

I know you were meaning to be serious but thanks for the laugh Miamia! :D

Oh...at least if we cant eat out right now...couldnt we at least be able to have Starbucks or Jamba Juice or something....sheeesh....why does everything have to be off limits?? :(

I was having a reaction yesterday....it wasnt a major one but when I react its sooo much more noticeable now. It was kind of like last Friday when I wasnt clear headed and kind of "giddy"....at least this time I didnt do anything stupid...I think. :huh:

Anyways I felt like I was driving like I'd been drinking or something...nothing dramatic....just like I was a little buzzed. Also, I kept bumping into him while we walked (it wasnt on purpose :P ). He was laughing about it...sometimes when I get a reaction my balance is kind of thrown off for a day or two and I crash into stuff alot...walls, people, doors....pretty much anything that gets in my way.

Do any of you crash into stuff during a reaction? I'm thinking I could have been glutened minorly...it seems like I get like that from gluten. I know it was from pancakes....I think because of my gut still being really leaky....I'm just more vulnerable to cc from the flours. I know they cant be totally down to 0 ppm but I hate that such trace amounts have an affect. :(

I've noticed a dizziness in the past year or so, it is like I'm drunk, just a little bit, and I have to concentrate to keep walking in a straight line. It has been less since I've been somewhat gluten free.

The symptoms we all share astonish me. I think it was on this thread/book that there was a discussion about earings and glutening, yes? In the past couple of years I've also had that problem. I wonder what else there is? At 51 I figured the night sweats I was having were related to menopause and then I read somewhere that this is also an experience people have when they are getting off gluten and that is when I started having them !

Is there anywhere all these symptoms are collected?

Also.

I was told yesterday that even olive oil which says 100% olive oil may contain soy oil. Has anyone else heard this?

Did you find out about the cysts Rachel? I ask because when I start bumping into things and dropping things it's usually hormonal. Sorry you probably talked extensively about the cyst thing already (I missed a few pages here and here :))

If your guy cooks I think you should give him a bunch of ingredients that are safe and challenge him to cook something for you. Hey if he manages you'll know he's a keeper :lol:

I havent mentioned the cysts in awhile so you havent missed much there....my appt. is coming up on the 13th. I'm pretty sure I'm just having another food reaction but I'm also ovulating which seems to make me more sensitive and reactive anyway. I ate a ton of chocolate so I think that set me off.

I'm thinking he doesnt cook since he eats pretty much like I used to eat before I got sick. Mostly fast food...he proabably eats mexican food everyday... its his favorite....he eats alot of it. I really miss those big burritos and corn chips w/ guacamole. We talk about food alot. If I was still healthy we would never disagree on what to eat.....we like all the same stuff. Except I'm a Big-Mac girl....always and he's a Quarter Pounder guy. <_<

Get cooking, girlfirend!!!!! Ask him over for dinner, and make those burritos (with corn tortillas) and guacamole, and get gluten-free corn chips like Fritos Scoops! Or make your own buns (I've come across a bunch of recipes, tried one which was not bad, haven't tried Annalise's yet, but I hear her submarine bread is great), and make Big Macs AND Quarter Pounders! Heck, have him cook with you--it's fun!! :P

Haha...sounds really fun...and yummy. :)

Maybe in the future I could do something like that. Right now I'm too limited in what I can eat. If I could eat any of the stuff in your post I'd be a happy camper right now and my diet wouldnt even be an issue. Unfortunately thats not the case. :(

I've learned how to cook and I enjoy it but theres just not much I can make....it would be kind of pointless to cook a gluten-free meal for him that I cant eat myself.

I'm optimistic that in the next year or so I'll be eating alot of stuff I cant eat now. Maybe it will just be gluten and dairy I'll have to worry about. Maybe even just gluten!

Rachel,

Your friend sounds like he could benefit from your knowledge of food. :lol:

It's nice that you have someone you can pal around with.

We went to church today, first time in awhile with my daughters sickness and then with the baby. We went upstairs since my daughter wanted to go to the fellowship hall, to see who was in the kitchen. The first thing she and M did was take a roll. I was only out of their sight for about 2 minutes. Talitha says that she didn't know the rolls had gluten in them. :blink: I wasn't a very happy camper to say the least. I obviously need to do some educating. :( Now we'll wait and see if either of them have a reaction to the gluten.

Rachel,

This is not a lecture, just an observation, but you know the saying, "life is what happens when you are busy making plans...", or something like that? I am in total support of focusing on one's health, but I would hate for anyone to let something pass them by because they were waiting for the "right time". You know what I mean?? Because there never really is the "right time" for anything.

I say this because this is what I experienced, and I almost let the biggest and best thing in my life pass me by because I didn't feel like I could be a part of something while I wasn't healthy.

Just food for thought :lol::lol:

Olive oil - HOLY SPIT, BATMAN!!!!

Okay so now I have to grow all my own fruits and vegetables AND make my own olive oil. Just kidding, but seriously, what's up with the inability we have in this country to buy safe food? Why can't a bottle that says "olive oil" just be olive oil? :blink: That whole thing is really bizzare.

Okay I just checked my olive oil. It's Bionaturae, and it claims that it's made in Italy and the olives are grown on small organic farms. I hope there's not mystery ingredients in my olive oil...

      @glucel, I agree with @trents.  You can still do the AIP diet while taking aspirin.   I'm one of those very sensitive to pharmaceuticals and have gotten side affects from simple aspirin.  Cardiac conduction abnormalities and atrial arrhythmias associated with salicylate toxicity https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3952006/ Another part of the problem is that those drugs, aspirin and warfarin, as well as others, can cause nutritional deficiencies.  Pharmaceuticals can affect the absorption and the excretion of essential vitamins, (especially the eight B vitamins) and minerals.   Potential Drug–Nutrient Interactions of 45 Vitamins, Minerals, Trace Elements, and Associated Dietary Compounds with Acetylsalicylic Acid and Warfarin—A Review of the Literature https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11013948/   Aspirin causes a higher rate of excretion of Thiamine Vitamin B1.  Thiamine deficiency can cause tachycardia, bradycardia, and other heart problems.  Other vitamins and minerals, like magnesium, are affected, too.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make life sustaining enzymes.  Without sufficient Thiamine and magnesium and other essential nutrients our health can deteriorate over time.  The clinical symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are subtle, can easily be contributed to other causes, and go undiagnosed because few doctors recognize Thiamine deficiency disorders. Thiamine deficiency disorders: a clinical perspective https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8451766/ Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of vitamins and minerals.  Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals can boost absorption.   Our bodies cannot make vitamins and minerals.  We must get them from our diet.  The Gluten free diet can be low in Thiamine and the other B vitamins.  Gluten free processed foods are not required to be enriched nor fortified with vitamins and minerals like their gluten containing counterparts. You would be better off supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals than taking herbal remedies.  Turmeric is known to lower blood pressure.  If you already have low blood pressure, taking turmeric would lower it further. Curcumin/turmeric supplementation could improve blood pressure and endothelial function: A grade-assessed systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38220376/ I've taken Benfotiamine for ten years without any side effects, just better health.

      Muscle atrophy in legs

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Polymyositis is a rare autoimmune disease that makes your immune system attack your muscles. Any autoimmune disease is associated with low vitamin D.   Even as a kid I had weak legs.  Now I feel the burn just walking to the mailbox. A case-control study found that patients with polymyositis (PM) had higher lactate levels at rest and after exercise, indicating impaired muscle oxidative efficiency. The study also found that an aerobic training program reduced lactate levels and improved muscle performance.

      Micronutrient Inadequacies in the US Population "A US national survey, NHANES 2007-2010, which surveyed 16,444 individuals four years and older, reported a high prevalence of inadequacies for multiple micronutrients (see Table 1). Specifically, 94.3% of the US population do not meet the daily requirement for vitamin D, 88.5% for vitamin E, 52.2% for magnesium, 44.1% for calcium, 43.0% for vitamin A, and 38.9% for vitamin C. For the nutrients in which a requirement has not been set, 100% of the population had intakes lower than the AI for potassium, 91.7% for choline, and 66.9% for vitamin K. The prevalence of inadequacies was low for all of the B vitamins and several minerals, including copper, iron, phosphorus, selenium, sodium, and zinc (see Table 1). Moreover, more than 97% of the population had excessive intakes of sodium, defined as daily intakes greater than the age-specific UL" My Supplements: Vitamin D 10,000 IU (250 mcg) DHEA 100 mg  (Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) levels in the body decrease steadily with age, reaching 10–20% of young adult levels by age 70.

      The paleo diet is based on the idea that the human body evolved to consume a balanced ratio of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids, and that the modern diet is out of balance. A healthy ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 is 1:1–4:1, while the modern diet is closer to 20:1–40:1. The paleo diet aims to restore this balance.

      Best thing you can do for them! First-degree family members (parents, siblings, children), who have the same genotype as the family member with celiac disease, have up to a 40% risk of developing celiac disease. Make sure you and they get enough vitamin D and iodine in their diet.   Iodine deficiency is a significant cause of mental developmental problems in children, including implications on reproductive functions and lowering of IQ levels in school-aged children. Vitamin D deficiency is common in the United States, affecting up to 42% of the population.
