  1. Hi Knitty, I hope you survived Thanksgiving ok. I ended up getting a migraine from eating lactose free yogurt that also had sugar etc in it. I thought it’d be ok but clearly it wasn’t!! you might want to consider sprouting your pseudo grains or at least soaking them overnight. It’s supposed to help get rid of a lot of the often offending excess phyta...
  2. Knitty, wow—our experience with the histamine is so similar! That diet made me worse. What is it that you’ve done since? But yes for me the last three years my diet was otherwise very like the autoimmune diet. I’ve eaten an awful lot of zucchini and lettuce and cucumbers for instance. However I was also eating those pseudo grains every day. Plus cocon...
  3. Hi Knitty, I’m glad to hear that the autoimmune protocol diet has helped you. It really is good for a lot of people. Unfortunately I developed severe histamine intolerance when I tried following that diet years ago. I was loving making sauerkraut and bone broth but it didn’t last long. It ended up increasing my histamine intolerance and thus mig...
  4. I’m actually wondering if scar tissue from a traumatic accident when I was six could have also created intestinal adhesions. I take serrapeptase regularly to counteract scar tissue. However it seems like I get bloated no matter what I eat, though some things like eating more than just a smidgen of cabbage or an excess of almond flour are worse. Meanwhile d...
  5. Hi, I am re- discovering that a grain free diet is helping my eczema go away plus hits making me able to sleep way better. That along with a lower FODMap diet is reducing my bloating. I realize this could be considered a controversial topic—however it’s really helping me even though I’ve had no great need to lose weight. Just getting rid of the i...
  6. Hi Melissa, I just rejoined celiac.com and am happy to answer your question although yes it has been years!! I no longer take nattokinase due to the fact it is made from soy, plus it is fermented--and I have a sensitivity to both fermented things and soy as it turns out. Instead I have been taking serrapeptase for many years. It is derived from silkworms...
  7. Its good to see your stories CleverKate and Kamma. I am so glad you both are doing so much better being off the gluten. It is such an amazing thing to learn, eh?? I too have struggled with gluten ataxia for years, though it may not have been as obvious to others given the fact I had figured out I was "allergic" to gluten by the time I was thirty (I am...
  8. I made a soup using a chopped leek, 5 large stalks of chopped celery, 1/4 chopped cabbage with already cooked brown rice, a good bunch of shrimp and seaweed with a bunch of chopped parsley and 5 large cloves of minced garlic and a big dollop of gluten free miso. Tasty and lovely! Great for my ailing liver and gall bladder as well as everything else. My...
  9. I made black bean vegetable soup with a largish chopped yam to replace the carrots and an addition of brown rice added in my bowl at the end. The soup had a large chopped thoroughly washed leek, around 7 chopped celery stalks and a fair amount of green beans, chopped fennel, an entire bunch of chopped parsley, and about 6 or 7 chopped garlic cloves. ...
  10. Actually for me its the salicylates in the lemons that give me problems. I can handle a bit now and then, but then overdid them since they are supposed to be good for cleaning out the liver and gallbladder. It is limiting without the lemons since I have very few spices I can use. Just parsley, fennel, leeks and garlic. That is it. Nevertheless, now...
  11. Brown rice, green beans and trout. Mmmm! Seems of late I am going more macrobiotic due to gall bladder issues. Am giving my black beans a two day soak. Will have them with digestive enzymes. Since I have gone off all other meat than fish (and only have it once or twice a week), plus am off lemons (which I still seem to be sensitive to) and taking basic...
  12. I think you should open this up as a topic. You will find I am not alone in this opinion. It would be interesting to find out the scientific proof as you say. For most of us at any rate it is a very real problem. What you get in the circulating hot air in the oven does affect most of us and could be silently undermining your health in the background. Or...
  13. I did not invent this problem about old gluteny ovens. I don't know if there is scientific proof or not, however almost everyone on celiac.com has to bake their baked items in a completely gluten-free oven or suffer from the effects. It is part of the standard procedure. Certainly you must have heard about it before now?? Just this last week both my boyfriend...
  14. Yes, it will gluten you if you share an oven with someone that either currently uses it for gluten items, or if it was previously used for them in the past and hasn't been de-glutened. Does not matter what type of oven it is, it needs to be gluten free--even a microwave. Otherwise you are being exposed to gluten circulating in the hot oven air. If it wasn...
  15. Tonight we had thin beef sirloin tip with garlic, peeled white sliced potatoes boiled and served with butter, and cooked green beans. A simple meal, but delicious! These days I seem to crave beef twice a week. It gives me more energy. I just make sure I have some pancreatic enzymes to help with the digestion and I am fine. It was a nice antidote actually...
  16. My friend Graeme has this same problem. It seems like it has something to do with an over-toxified liver which in turn affects the skin since the skin is another detoxification pathway. Eating more veggies, especially greens and things like parsley should help. Taking dandelion root capsules or powder in hot tea should also help you detox. Assuming...
  17. Hi GuyC, I take co-enzyme B vitamins since they are more easily absorpable--in a complex so they are balanced. I don't know about the amount to take of the sublingual B12. However, I have just discovered that coconut oil also causes neurological symptoms for me--including sciatic nerve pain and lumps on (an old injury site) the top bones of my hips...
  18. Bravo for you--for both figuring this out and deciding to quit tobacco. Have you considered trying hypnotherapy to help you quit? My understanding is that it is a lot more effective and quicker than many other methods. Of course any method you try you will need to be really motivated--both for the physical withdrawal and the mental one. A friend...
  19. Have you thought of baking your own gluten-free pizza? They sell easy mixes. Even if you don't eat it, baking it in the oven and then kissing the guy won't then be a problem. They taste just like regular pizzas... Ditto with a bunch of other stuff like cookies and cakes. MIght just be worth doing the little bit of extra work? Bea
  20. More to the point--don't share plastic or wooden dish-ware. In addition, don't share an oven without first running it through the self cleaning cycle. If your partner is going to heat up pizza's--I suggest one of you purchase and be the only one to use a large toaster oven. Sharing an oven with gluten will make most of us here sick. Both my bf...
  21. Likely its an allergy, I have the same problem. Its OK if I eat them once a week however... Am now on a no grain diet (scd) and that seems to be helping. In the past I couldn't tolerate eggs (and a number of other things) at all...
  22. Am glad to hear that my suggestions so far have been helpful! Can't they tell through a blood test and/or some kind of culture in a petri dish what kind of infection it is without removing the node? If you go off all sugars and quick carbs and experience withdrawal symptoms, and then feel better if you eat something sugary or quick carby -- as I previously...
  23. It is great news! What a relief! Do you know what kind of infection, bacterial or yeast? Also, if bacterial, be certain to do anticandida stuff afterwards to counteract the effect of the antibiotics. Candida is opportunistic and will likely flourish with the antibiotics. A good enteric coated acidophilus is de riguer. Bea
  24. You can go real slow to get rid of the fungal infection. I totally understand. It can make you crazy going through that die quick off. It may take forever but eventually you will get there. Just do the enterically coated acidophilus and enterically coated garlic perhaps and maybe oregano or thyme oil that you rub on your wrists and lymph points (those things...
  25. I'll look up the safety of dandelion and other of the heavy duty herbs as far as safety with breastfeeding. Wasn't thinking about that. However peppermint, chamomile are completely safe, as is marshmallow root and slippery elm. If you have had a bad reaction to capryllic acid, it really would indicate to me you probably have a yeast/fungal/candida overgrowth...
