Anyone Else Have Raynaud's Phenomenon?
RiceGuy replied to Mack the Knife's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Yeah, I agree Wikipedia shouldn't be taken as the most authoritative source of information on any given topic. However, in this case, the Raynaud's article does track with what I've read elsewhere. And while not quite as comprehensive as the NIH article, does not appear to be inaccurate. So to date, while some risk factors have been identified, the specific... -
Anyone Else Have Raynaud's Phenomenon?
RiceGuy replied to Mack the Knife's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Magnesium and B vitamins (especially B12) have helped me quite a lot with cold extremities. Various other nutrients can help as well, such as zinc and omega-3s (flax/fish oil). Since going gluten-free and taking supplements, I don't even notice it anymore, and I'm not sure if it's still there at all. Never knew what it was called, or that there was even a... -
Red Ears And Cheeks
RiceGuy replied to Dixiebell's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I would always get the red ears, especially as a child. Nearest I can tell, it's from gluten, as I no longer get that, or the red cheeks. AFAIK, the tests aren't as accurate as 95%. Some tests are better than others, but not that good. Perhaps he meant the genetic tests, but that doesn't confirm Celiac. If I'm incorrect, I'm confident someone will point... -
I never even thought about oils being produced on shared equipment. Makes me shiver! I don't think I've ever gotten glutened by vegetable oil, but I guess I'll be wondering whenever I'm feeling a bit off. Anyway, one brand of safflower oil I know of (but never tried) is Flora. It's expensive. I'd have to guess that MacNut is safe, since all they make is...

I've been off all nightshades for some time now, and haven't attempted to try any yet. Not sure if I will. I kinda like the ability to walk far more than the taste of any of them However, I do believe that with sufficient healing of the intestines, the toxic alkaloids wouldn't so easily get into the bloodstream, and therefore should be less of a problem...

Soy Intolerant... Need Help With Hidden Soy!
RiceGuy replied to gfwarrior's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Guar gum, gum Arabic (also referred to as acacia gum), and carob have nothing to do with soy. However, guar gum and carob are derived from leguminous trees, so some who can't tolerate legumes might not be able to tolerate them. Being that guar gum (a fiber) is fairly purified, I think the chances of reacting to it because of legume intolerance is less than... -
I've only used the flour, but according to many posts on this board, it seems starches are more interchangeable than flours. I'd have to guess it'll probably work fine, though you may need to tweak something slightly.

Since the starch in sweet potato is different from that of ordinary white potato, I'd think it would behave somewhat differently. However, that's not to say it can't be used. It might just boil down to preference.

I've had instances where I'd see something in my dream that looked different than everything else in the dream, and would remain in view while the dream scenes changed. The image would eventually become clearer, as I focused on it, trying to figure it out. After a while I'd wake up, and the rest of the image would become clear. Turns out, my eyes were opening...

I suppose you could keep your eyes closed for a few extra minutes when you first wake up. Do you use an alarm clock to wake you?
-
Well, if it's what I see now and then, there's probably nothing to worry about. Upon awakening from a dream state, sometimes the dream imagery persists into the waking state, and I see it even if I open my eyes. An easy test is if you look at a different spot on the wall. If the thing you're seeing stays in the same location within your scope of vision...

Pineapple Juice?
RiceGuy replied to SGWhiskers's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
First, toss out all old spices. Ordinarily, about a year is the suggested shelf life. I've used Dole pineapple juice without problems, but as was stated, it may be the acidity which bothered you. I don't know what their source of vitamin E is, but it may be worth looking in to. It doesn't have to be gluten to bother you, and it's quite possible that you... -
Well, I don't much trust the medical industry either, but one thing I do know about vaccines is that they are incubated in chicken eggs. So if you have an allergy to eggs, that's something to consider. I've also heard that they use toxic stuff like mercury and formaldehyde to weaken the virus, in an attempt to simulate a slight exposure, which the immune...

It is my understanding that shingles can occur if chicken pox isn't treated properly, but otherwise there isn't supposed to be any real risk of it. At least that's what I've always heard. Here's what I found on Wikipedia about it.

All the balloons I've ever seen have some sort of powder to keep them from sticking together inside, just like many latex gloves. That's not to say it can't be the latex or rubber or some other stuff, but something to keep in mind.
