Good News: I Can Eat Fruit Again

Some months ago I found that any time I ate fruit I would have to run immediately to the bathroom. I thought I'd done some damage to my liver by drinking fruit juice more or less with every meal. However, since I finally figured out and addressed my iodine deficiency, I have undergone a miracle cure. This morning, I made ambrosia (proving, finally, that I'm really a Southerner) and ate it with breakfast. And I'm fine. No issues whatever. Soooo if you suddenly develop fructose malabsorption, you might want to look into iodine, or some other electrolyte, deficiency. My favorite iodine link: Open Original Shared Link (If you do the test, wear something black or sleeveless. My iodine stain did disappear, though not in two or six hours. But then, I'd been redressing the problem for a few days. Last Friday, it probably would have vanished in minutes.:))

Good article!

Now, how do you make ambrosia?

What I did was tear up a navel orange, cut up a banana and throw on some flake coconut. As I remember it from my childhood, it was basically any citrus fruit, any other fruit, and coconut. This grapes and pineapple stuff is news to me, but I'm sure it would be good: Open Original Shared Link I think Aunt Clara made hers with oranges, tangerines, grapefruit and coconut. Coconut is supposed to be good for the thyroid and I figure I can use all the help I can get. Going to have guacamole with lunch (as avocados are good for the thyroid, too) even though I'm not the world's biggest guacamole fan. But every day in every way I'm feeling better and better.

Good article. I like that she advises getting iodine from foods and sea salt. One heads up though for those that want to do the iodine patch test. You don't want to do this if you have DH as it will reactivate the antibodies and cause a flare up. The oldfashioned way to test for DH was to apply iodine to skin and watch for a reaction.

I was using sea salt when I ran into trouble, but probably not enough. I'm glad you spurred me to reread the article again, because I had been looking for iodine supplements (duh-- hey! I've been starving:)) when I needed to be looking for kelp. And I'll change my sig line (again).

      It's also a symptom of EPI.

      3 year old gluten intolerance?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yes.  Proportionately a small piece to a toddler is like a whole slice to an adult.  This is an important clue.  She was doing well, accidentally ate gluten and later the old behavior returned. I remember reading posts here of people reacting to a kiss from someone who had just eaten gluten. Recent research indicates that 40% of first degree relatives of someone with Celiac have undiagnosed Celiac Disease.  Father, mother, siblings.  There is a whole list of symtoms of "silent celiac".  Here is an article of symptoms possibly mistaken for other causes than Celiac Disease.  When I finally stopped gluten at 63 years old, I counted 19 things that improved, including lifelong mouthbreathing.  I never smelled bad things, so I as a kid, I learned to respond to the other kid's response in order to not seem weird. I really recommend you pursue testing for all the family if you can, and the whole family following GFD.  It is difficult at first, but the benefits will be worth it.

      Feel Good gluten free chicken soup dumplings

      By Visionaerie · Posted

      I get these but where we are, they are called chicken potstickers. I would obviously suggest that it is the ginger in the product that is causing a stimulative digestive effect! So you might want to do what I do, just cook one of them with the rest of your meal so you don't have the same effect. I love the Feel Good products but they are on the expensive side. (I also drink Reed's ginger brew so in general, ginger is a friend of mine..when delivered at the right dose). Hope this helps and have a warm healthy week!

      Glutening symptom? oily stool

      By ognam · Posted

      Has anyone had Steatorrhea (oily/fatty poop) as a temporary glutening symptom or should I be concerned I've introduced chronic gluten somewhere (like in meds)? I haven't gotten Steatorrhea since before I went gluten free. However, I moved in the past few weeks and haven't been as careful - I've eaten at restauraunts with cross contamination but only experienced minor symptoms like headache. The past week, I ate only gluten free food at home except I went to Red Robin and got fries (told them gluten-free; allergy). The next day I had Steatorrhea and the day after that.   I know it's a symptom of malabsorption so I was wondering if it was the kind of thing that could be caused by one event or if it was due to a more chronic issue. Of course I will speak to a GI but I recently moved and need to find one.   Thank you for any info

      Anyone else with very high HDL?

      By plumbago · Posted

      A relative has opened another door for me on this issue -- the possibility of menopause raising HDL. Most studies suggest that menopause decreases HDL-C, however, one study found that often it's increased. "Surprisingly, HDL cholesterol was higher (p < 0.001) in postmenopausal women by 11%. Further, the number of women who had low HDL cholesterol was higher in pre vs. postmenopausal women. The range of ages were 26–49 years for pre-menopausal and 51–74 years for postmenopausal women. "This interesting finding has also been observed by other investigators. It is possible that the observed increase in HDL-C in postmenopausal women could be due to a protective mechanism to counterbalance the deleterious effects of biomarkers associated with menopause. However, further studies are needed to confirm this theory. And to the point raised earlier about functionality: "...some patients with elevated HDL-C concentrations could remain at risk for coronary events if HDL is not functional and some authors have suggested that this could be the case for menopausal women." Postmenopausal Women Have Higher HDL and Decreased Incidence of Low HDL than Premenopausal Women with Metabolic Syndrome. By no means to I think this is definitive, rather food for thought.
