  1. Yousef, I was there with you a year ago! ("Bugs crawling" was the comment that made me respond.) You may very well have "trickle-down" intolerances. But if Celiac is your primary issue, then you should understand that you likely have somewhat significant intestinal damage that will take time to heal. From my experience, this could take from 2 months and...
  2. Figuring out what you can and cannot eat is super-stressful. Those of us in this forum definitely understand that. So, definitely while you're doing these tests, you should be cooking all your food 100% from scratch--no ordering out, no premixed foods from the grocery store!!! <---These last 2 points are SUPER IMPORTANT, because you've not yet...
  3. I was the exactly the same, Yousaf. It was driving me batty!
  4. Stop eating out. At all. Keep a journal of every single thing you eat. Every. Single. Thing. Whenever you have a flair-up, look back to at least 7 days. Likely it will be within 3 to 5. But look further. This is why is it SO IMPORTANT to keep a journal of every single thing you eat. About 7 yrs ago, I started getting rashes on my neck and...
  5. @Guest Randall: A "number one"... or a "number two"? ;{P
  6. Perhaps some readers are missing a poignant point here: psyllium husk is used primarily as an naturopathic laxative, even within the modern medical community. That it may "tear your gut apart" could be it simply acting as it is prescribed by medical practitioners to many. Hence the reason for my original reply, regarding apple fibre powder. My...
  7. Good distinction there for everyone in the thread to note: psyllium seed vs psyllium husk.
  8. What about dried apple fibre? I guess what I'm asking is... is there something inherently special about psyllium or could this work with other added fibre sources?
  9. Sure, you don't "need" it. But the texture variation is what makes cheesecake so enjoyable. My favorite cheesecake ever... was a baked Italian torta di ricotta--super-dense, small-curd ricotta cheese somehow baked into 4" deep pan with a 1" pie-style crust... and a caramelized "skin" over the surface of the top. I didn't understand the process then (19...
  10. I'm with you on this one, JMinNC! The gluten-free food sector is mostly just junk-food, which further contributes to the obesity of us Americans. It would be nice to have more gluten-free food that's more akin to ready-to-make "mains". But instead, it's almost all chips/crackers, bread-type products and sweets. And every time someone really does come...
  11. 🤢 I would not ever, in any way, call that cheesecake. If you're going to make cheesecake, do it right. Just replace the typical crust with gluten-free ingredients... and be sure to bake (and cool in the oven) with a pan of water.

  13. There's vodka in their "rum".... FASCINATING. Speaking as a huge craft spirits enthusiast, maybe it's time to find a new rum distiller. Like maybe one who uses... oh, I dunno... sugarcane... to make... RUM??? (I know that's a tough ask here in the Land of the Free. Gods forbid we're pitched anything other than Bacardi, Malibu and Capt.Morgan. <...
  14. Glad that works for you. When most of us ask our GP specific questions or explain the research we've discovered to be accurate, they either (A) get that look on their faces that says either they think you're a hypocondriac who "reads too much online"... or (B) they fear you're going to be more educated than they are on the subject, which triggers an...
  15. Best post on this site in quite a while. Thank you for updating and reposting!
  16. Sarah, has your doctor prescribed a potent anti-inflammatory? It sounds like your system is so keyed-up that it's just pinging any little thing. In the past 7 yrs, I've begun to develop a reaction to nightshade veg. I didn't figure out what was setting me off until just this past November. And let me tell you: nightshades are in EVERYTHING, hiding...
  17. Quite a few supermarkets label the things they produce as gluten-free. Most of those products are store-brand, but manufactured off-site. For store-made products, they sometimes do the "gluten-free, but..." sorta thing for cross-contamination. But Wegmans, for instance, says their entire sushi bar and deli areas are gluten-free.
  18. No meds nor supplements here. I might cross the line to supplements eventually, but I have no desire to participate in the pharmaceutical industry's farce. (I also think we try to live longer than our planet can realistically sustain.) So once I get to that point, it's time to find the new Dr.Kavorkian.
  19. @trents, I do not disagree. I was hoping to coax out any further info/opinions that you might have felt awkward about sharing. I'm trying to understand the thing myself.
  20. Yes. But it's gross, and it does not even meet the EU standard to be considered Rum. If you're going to buy products like this, find a cheaper brand that you know you like and contact them. These big-box brands are constantly milking the public for their money because they ride the coattails of brand recognition--which let's them lower the standards...
  21. I've been gluten-free since 2009 after being gluten-sick since 2007. Around 2014 to 2016, I developed what I thought was ringworm on my neck and scalp. After various OTC treatment regimens failed, I began to consider seeking a dermatologist in late 2019. Having not had a GP since high-school... well, I'm sure you know how that went. Didn't get to...
  22. Could you better clarify that last bit? I'm trying to full grasp what you mean.
  23. Possibly behind a paywall. Some articles are free. But I pay $5/month and can't keep up. https://elemental.medium.com/how-the-western-diet-is-wreaking-havoc-on-our-guts-4ecbc54a9713
