    10 Chili Recipes Kids Will Actually Love https://www.thekitchn.com/kid-friendly-chili-261994

    Home made chili with beans. I mix small red, chick pea and pinto so the mouth feel doesn't get boring. Soak the beans overnight to remove the lectins. Full of healthy nutrition. A five year old should get 10 - 15 grams of fiber and this mix has 15 grams fiber per 100 grams uncooked beans. The fiber helps with "pushing" so may help with the prolapse and the...

    Keep a journal of what you are eating now. Gluten free does not mean healthy. Now that you are not bloated by gluten containing foods you may be noticing problems that were previously masked by the morphine like effect gluten has on some people. Most wheat products have supplemental vitamins and minerals that may not be in your adjusted diet. Your blood work...

    I don't think it actually ever happened. "It was good, thank you". Most people are not as pathologically truthful as I am.

    In 9th grade I was 5'8" and weighed about 90 pounds. That's BMI of 13.7. Your BMI is 17.3. I am still alive at 71. You are mildly underweight. Losing weight can be scary. The world is mostly obese now and not being obese is abnormal. At 6'2" I went from 185 pounds life time high to 159 pound and then back up to my current 168. At 159 I started worrying...

    My sister-in-law had a great way of dealing with it. She would graciously accept the food gift, then drop it in an out of sight dumpster on the way home. Self-preservation and no hurt feelings and no temptation to try it.

    Apparently only Ireland and New Zealand find grassfed more profitable than adding palmitic acid.

    "Dairy products contain short, medium and long-chain SFA [Saturated Fatty Acid], which affect cardiovascular health differently. It is apparent that lauric (12:0), myristic (14:0) and palmitic (16:0) have adverse effects on LDL, which is considered an important risk factor for CVD [60]. When compared to carbohydrate consumption in humans, lauric acid, myristic...

    https://lock-s-foils.com/almond_milk_is_crap.html Can you eat plain almonds? Almond Breeze is proud to use activated almonds. How the heck do they activate an almond? Almonds are excellent for nutrition. 2 ounces has 100% RDA of real vitamin E and a bunch of others. Almond milk, not so much. Nutrition as advertising hype. See the link above. 10...

    Solgar B1-Thiamin, 500 mg. $18 for a bottle of 100 tablets. I've been on it for a week now and already feeling improvement over the 6 mg a day (500% RDA) I was getting between food and a B complex. Piping Rock is a good online source for most of the other vitamins I take, but I got this at Vitamin Shoppes locally. Started at one a day to test response and...

    In 1976 my infant son was diagnosed by biopsy with Celiac Disease shortly after early weaning. His doctor chose Nutramagen over Similac because it is hypoallergenic and has the most complete vitamins and minerals. By the way there are currently lawsuits on Similac and other milk based infant formulas as a cause of necrotizing enterocolitis. https://phelanpetty...

    Some facts I've found regarding DH. Could explain two things: why some are sensitive to iodine and some get DH. I'll find the sources again if somebody wants but there isn't much. I've never had DH but have had shingles and poison ivy. In the days of President Benjamin Harris (1888) it was found that iodine exasperates DH. For a while it was used as...

    Fair enough.

    When I had shingles I was given a prescription for a tube of Lidocaine 2.5% and Prilocaine 2.5% Cream, USP. It worked great. BENGAY® 4% Lidocaine Cream Tropical Jasmine costs less than $10, and there are other lidocaine and prilocaine products up to 5% available without prescription. 10% requires prescription. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/drugs/...

    Your GP. For the most part prednisone is out of favor because there are newer (and more profitable) drugs available. Prednisone is used for everything from anti transplant rejection to asthma, to anti-cancer, arthritis, eye drops. My main concern was that with all these new drugs, for example the popular Methotrexate, a potential side effect is sudden death...

    I take 10,000 iu a day (250 mcg) to get the antidepressant effect of vitamin D. By the fourth day it worked wonders. That was in 2015. Even today, if I stop or reduce for any length of time, I get anxious about answering the phone and my countertops get cluttered. Previous prescription of Xanax made me twitch and spasm until the dose wore off. Four years...

    Actually, wild rabbits have a pretty healthy diet and they never read labels; you just have to adjust for size🐇😃. Look into Dr Fuhrman's "Six Week Plan". He was one of the first to identify the failure of what he called the MAD diet (Modern American Diet). Lots of links about it, but here is one. https://hellonutritarian.com/dr-fuhrmans-aggressive-weight-loss-...

    I think that in line with a "healthier" diet people with celiac disease avoid eggs and red meat, major sources of choline. In addition, the general US population at baseline tends to not ingest enough choline. So combine a low intake with malabsorption due to celiac disease Choline's importance in NAFLD was identified some 40 years ago in patients on parenteral...

    At the least NGWS. Metabolic syndrome, shopping doctors for prescription pain meds for a fibromyalgia-like pain, his colon was six inches longer than normal, leaky gut, heart disease. There was a Discovery Channel show that reviewed his autopsy. Many of his symptoms were similar to mine that resolved, including alcoholism and excepting metabolic syndrome...

    Always remember that having Celiac Disease and needing to avoid certain foods is not your fault. It is not just in your head any more than a bee sting or peanut allergy is in their heads. It is just a fact of your life. Personally, I believe that Karen Carpenter and Elvis Presley had Celiac Disease or Non-Celiac Wheat Sensitivity, but I am probably alone...

    Since you have "Almost all patients with dermatitis herpetiformis have celiac disease, though the disease is asymptomatic." https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/21460-dermatitis-herpetiformis It is not uncommon to have multiple autoimmune diseases simultaneously. I know the autism makes it hard dealing with it but sounds...

    "The most bothersome symptoms are itching and burning. Scratching causes the blister to rupture and dry up, but this leaves an area of darkened skin and scarring. A skin biopsy may be taken to see if the rash is dermatitis herpetiformis. The condition will improve after elimination of gluten from the diet, although it may take several weeks to months to see...

    My opinion: Why bother? It's not like people who eat wheat are healthier and happier. Keep in mind that wheat has been shown to be addictive. I remember, but not when or where, a person in the wheat industry commenting proudly that wheat is more addictive than potato chips. (bet you can't just eat one)

    Dapsone has some potential side effects that to me are scarier than the rash. If you are getting better without it I would wait. Even with the Dapsone it can take 3 months. "It may take up to 12 weeks before you feel the full benefit of dapsone gel. If your acne does not improve after 12 weeks of treatment, call your doctor." https://medlineplus.gov...
