    There are trace amounts of casein in butter. (Remember 0g on a nutrition label doesn't mean NONE. It means less than 0.5g per serving.) That said, some people who are casein intolerant do fine with moderate amounts of butter (I seem to, and I know I'm not the only one). It depends on how sensitive you are. (I'm assuming a 'standard' casein intolerance...

    If you haven't specifically worked with your doctors on this one, I would HIGHLY recommend it. You might start with a GP, but if you can self-refer, you might just start with a neurologist. It could be something as simple as crystals in the ear canal (they screw with balance/dizziness), but it might not be.

    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    I see you live in Bellevue, and I'm trying to send you a msg, but it isn't allowing me to do so. Would love to connect and find out if you know of a support group on the Eastside. Recently diagnosed and sad.

    only half the time, and only a little bit... I wouldn't be so quick to assume it's a yeast infection. at the least, I would absolutely get it tested. sometimes, there's nothing for it but to treat with medication (hard as it is on the system, if I manage to develop a yeast infection, I *have* to take oral antifungals), but genetian violet and garlic are...

    Are you certain that it's a yeast infection? Do you have the discharge that usually comes with it? The smell? If it's a recurrent yeast infection (diagnosed via a sample under the microscope) or something else, you might need to find another way to treat it. BV (bacterial vaginosis) sometimes can feel fairly similar to a yeast infection, but is different...

    Eggs can bother me depending on how they're cooked. Extra oil in the cooking... usually gets to me. (So, restaurant/diner cooked eggs, which tend to be greasy, do NOT sit well, but home cooked eggs which are cooked exactly the same way but on a non-stick skillet without oil are just fine.

    get the results for your iron tests and find out what they ran. they need to check levels in the blood as well as stores. other vitamin and mineral deficiencies can cause fatigue as well, so you may want to try to pursue further testing. (this includes things testosterone levels, regardless of your gender.) do you know if the sleep you ARE getting...

    additionally, most *white vinegar* isn't made from wheat anyway, but corn. not that some people don't have issues with vinegar itself, of course.

    Theo Chocolate Michel Cluizel Castelain These three don't have soy lecithin. I've found all of them locally, oddly enough, though it'll likely depend on where you live. They're not cheap, but *good* chocolate isn't. (I've always thought of Lindt as a bit waxy... too much lecithin, perhaps...)

    I also use the deodorant crystal. Not an antipersperant (but sweat is a good thing, honestly), but forms a barrier that prevents the bacteria which cause BO from growing in any quantity for about 24 hours. Works great for me. (You do have to wet the stick or skin before applying it.)

    calcium can cause constipation, magnesium diarrhea - different amounts affect different people. is it possible you were experiencing side effects of the Ca or Mg itself?
  13. tarnalberry
    I am a fan of RainbowLight's Food Based Calcium. It has the proper dose of calcium (500mg per pill, you can't absorb more than that at a time). It has a good ratio of calcium to magnesium (500mg Ca, 250mg Mg). And some vitD3 (100IU). (I take additional liquid vitD3 given my location and circumstances.) It's gluten/dairy/soy free.

    If I'm making gravy, I always just use the juice from the item I cooked - cooked a chicken? take the drippings/juice out of the bottom and add a cornstarch slurry. If you didn't have an item like that, you can make and freeze your own stock ahead of time, or just use buillion.

    the germ and bran of the grain both contain protein, which includes gliadin. definitely not gluten free.

    The cost of independent facilities throughout the manufacturing process are *very* high, and in many cases, the cost/benefit analysis will *not* put dedicated lines or facilities as the winner. It's good for them to have the data, but we do need to keep in mind that the business case is not on our side. (1% is not a big enough market, and "just gluten intolerant...

    Oranges have never bothered me, and I eat them constantly. But some people are allergic, and some people just can't tolerate foods that acidic. He should listen to his body.
  19. tarnalberry
    It sounds most likely like an allergy - a true food allergy. You may want to get tested, and be cautious with dairy, as true allergies can increase with exposure.
  20. tarnalberry
    It may not be homemade, but they are good!

    It's not a question of whether or not you're diagnosed - if you're reacting, you need to be gluten free so you don't damage your intestines. The actual diagnosis is irrelevant. It is worth trying, if you think that gluten is a problem.
  22. tarnalberry
    Distillation does not allow gluten to pass into the final process (though anything can be added back if the manufacturer so chooses), but grain-alcohol can be from any grain. Vodkas are usually wheat (these days, in the US) but are plenty often rye as well, and also plenty often potato. Ciroq, the grape vodka, is, by the way, a FABULOUS vodka. The only...

    I also buy individual herbs. (I usually purchase Spice Hunter or Simply Organic as well, though I'll get McCormick if I can't get those or dry my own.) I do have premixed blends for chili powder (as that's a blend), curry seasoning (as that's a blend), and garlic salt (for table use).

    dry hands, perhaps, that are cracking?

    Neither - barley can be hidden in 'natural flavors', doesn't have to go on the 'may contain' line (which I think is optional anyway), and doesn't have to be listed at all. The allergen labeling law was for the eight major food allergens, and barley is not one of them. They are wheat, dairy, tree nuts, peanuts, fish, shellfish, eggs, and soy.
