ARCHIVED Having gluten-free Food Brought Over Postpartum
Sweetfudge replied to Sweetfudge's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Thank you all so much for your feedback! This has given me some great ideas. I don't think we have the money or room for an extra freezer right now, but I'm sure my in-laws, who live nearby, would be willing to share some freezer space! Great idea, I will plan on making some meals for them to store. I have also heard of people preparing food to throw into... -
ARCHIVED Having gluten-free Food Brought Over Postpartum
Sweetfudge posted a topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Hi all, I'm expecting my first baby in January. I do all the cooking in our household (my husband is in grad school, and has very little time these days. Plus, he kinda sucks at cooking...). I know I'm looking a bit far into the future, but I am worrying about how to deal w/ people bringing food/offering to bring food over once I have my baby. We don... -
ARCHIVED Leaky Gut/elimination Diet Thoughts/help
Sweetfudge replied to Sweetfudge's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
On the paleo diet, I have eliminated red meat, pork, coconut and broccoli (the last two I was already avoiding, but lots of paelo people eat them a lot). Basically, I'm eating fish, chicken, turkey, eggs, veggies, and a little bit of fruit. Occasionally will have some dark chocolate (dairy free). -
ARCHIVED Leaky Gut/elimination Diet Thoughts/help
Sweetfudge posted a topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Hi all, Been awhile since I visited the forum. But I need some help. My history in a nutshell: I've been gluten-free 5 1/2 years, DF on and off for the past few years (and off for good the past month), following a paleo diet for the past 6 months, also avoiding a few other foods (see my signature). I feel like the paleo is working for me in some ways ... -
Lisa, When you did this elimination diet, did you follow a specific plan (ie, a book or website?) or did you just go based off of your reactions to foods? I've been looking into leaky gut and an elimination diet, but am a little lost on where to turn exactly. Thanks!

ARCHIVED Which Diet/lifestyle To Follow To Feel Better?
Sweetfudge replied to Sweetfudge's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
I've been doing a lot of research over the last few weeks, and really like the concept of the paleo diet, even if I don't end up following it 100%. I've mostly been eating leaner foods (meat, dairy free, etc) lately, so worry about adding back in all that red meat, bacon, and butter. Tried a few paleo recipes so far, and really enjoyed them. Interesting... -
ARCHIVED Do Probiotics And Enzymes Help You For The Most Part?
Sweetfudge replied to sweeeeet's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
When I started taking Align, my GI warned me it can cause some bloating/flare up of symptoms, which I noticed for probably the first week. Definitely nothing as bad as what you experienced. That's horrible. I hope you find something that works for you. -

Sweetfudge replied to Sweetfudge's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Lol @ the chocolate thing. Have you tried dairy free chocolate/dark chocolate too? I think I would die without that I do need to start keeping a food diary again, good call on that one! Thanks for sharing your experience on the lifestyle. I've ordered the primal blueprint, and have read through the blog. It is the best one I've found... -
ARCHIVED Which Diet/lifestyle To Follow To Feel Better?
Sweetfudge replied to Sweetfudge's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
p.s. I am not looking to lose any weight, I am just looking for a fix to whatever is ailing me. I eat relatively healthy, avoid all the foods listed in my signature, don't eat a lot of red meat or fatty foods, don't eat out, rarely eat processed foods, pretty much just drink water and teas (and definitely drink enough in a day), take fiber and probiotics... -
ARCHIVED Which Diet/lifestyle To Follow To Feel Better?
Sweetfudge posted a topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
I'm trying to figure out what to do here. I'm having pretty regular symptoms the last few months, and really can't pinpoint the cause. The paleo diet, lectin intolerance and elimination diet have all been recommended to me by people. But I don't know what to do. Any suggestions/experience with any of these, or recommended resources? Thanks all! -
ARCHIVED Elimination Diet - Making Me Sick?!?
Sweetfudge replied to lucia's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
This sounds a lot like what I'm going through. Eliminating just about everything, and still getting sick. It sucks! I would suggest looking into the IBS diet guidelines. I am not so sure I believe in 'IBS' but I do pretty well when I follow the diet (as was recommended by my doctor, when celiac dx/dairy free wasn't enough). It's helped, and though I'm... -
ARCHIVED Need Help Going Lectin-Free
Sweetfudge replied to masterjen's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
I'm having similar frustrations with additional foods I'm sure are causing me problems, but I haven't pinpointed them yet. I'm debating whether to try a lectin-free diet, or elimination diet (which I don't really wanna do lol) or paleo-diet. It all feels so confusing -
3/4 times when I ate potatoes (sneaking my husband's fries, mashed potatoes, etc) I reacted. So I determined that I am potato intolerant. I did a test to be sure I was, by not eating any potatoes for a couple of weeks, then eating some very simple, bland foods (rice, bananas, gluten-free bread, etc) for a couple days to calm my system down. Then I threw some...

ARCHIVED Do Probiotics And Enzymes Help You For The Most Part?
Sweetfudge replied to sweeeeet's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
I have been gluten-free for 4 years, and dairy free mostly for 2. I have gone through phases where I feel better, and then don't. But I definitely notice a difference taking probiotics. I was recommended Align by my GI. It's a probiotic specifically for people with IBS-like symptoms - gas, bloating, cramps, etc. Lately I was wondering if it was working... -
ARCHIVED How Do You Get More Fiber
Sweetfudge replied to Kathleen Smith's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I take a fiber supplement in addition to eating lots of whole grains and veggies. I take acacia fiber, which is made specifically for help with GI problems (bloating, gas, etc), and easy to digest. You can google "Heather's Tummy Fiber" for more info. I buy mine in 1 lb bags at the HFS, and it lasts me a good month and a half. I take 9-12 grams a day (1 ...
