Beef liver is the worst. I have to choke it down, but beef heart and chicken organs aren't so bad. I think they taste better the more I eat them. I measured veggies in the beginning, just so I could get an accurate eyeball of how much a cup was. When it comes to greens, especially if you cook them, 3 cups goes by pretty fast. If you watched her...

I do the yucky greens in the morning, to get them out of the way, so I flip between cooked organ meat & greens one morning to a smoothie the next. And a lot of the greens can count as either ors. Like Kale, arugula, and collards, are both greens and sulfur. Then there is purple cabbage, beet greens, and purple kale, which can count for purple or greens...

So I'm almost 3 months into it, and this diet has improved my life so much. I'm pretty strict with it. My arthritis (that I've had since I was 18) is just gone. I actually love vegetables and eat more veggies than what she calls for. Especially lettuces, since they sort of taste sweet to me, I could eat lettuce all day. It is a lot of work chopping...

I would wait it out, gluten affects many of my family members. Celiac or not they have multiple autoimmune issues which are only exacerbated by eating gluten. I notice, for me anyway, stress plays a role. I found out my poor pooch is dying this week and my arthritis which has been so much better on a gluten free diet all of a sudden flared up in multiple...

I'd go with coconut milk/cream. A vegan friend recommended it to me as replacement coffee creamer. You can have that delivered, it packs a lot of calories, and has a lot of natural vitamins. I put it in coffee/tea, make yogurt with it with probiotic pills, put it with honey and make ice cream with it, I soak chia seeds in it for a pudding. I add the coconut...

Did it work? Any tips? I started the Wahls protocol this week, after reading the book. Not too encouraged, adding another 4-5 cups of veggies to my diet has not gone over well with my tummy...

My nearly daily diarrhea went away after stopping gluten, but it took me a couple of weeks after stopping gluten to realize my horrible gas pains and mushy stools were from lactose (milk)... it was funny because I'm not much of a milk drinker and I would blame my stomach pain on the chocolate in chocolate bars, not even thinking about the milk in them. So...

No well water. It could be the city water, but I've come to the conclusion that it's a combination of my impaired gut, stress (highly emotion teen in our house left me without sleep last week), plus I was sick with a cold about a week or two ago, my immune system has probably not been well. Then there's my family. My youngest has a habit of eating couch...

Yes, the first time the doc checked, no for the second, the second I just recognized the symptoms (yellow feces with floating fat on top of the water) and started adding turmeric to my food and taking the oregano oil. I'd be all about taking the antibiotics if I was throwing up or had a fever, but I don't/didn't. They use hefty antibiotics for it (because...

I wasn't sure where to post this. Since going gluten free, I've contracted Giardia twice, 3 months apart. Is this common? Does it go away after a time? How did you make it go away? So far I've managed to avoid antibiotics, because IMO what's worse than Giardia is antibiotic resistant giardia... I've been taking turmeric and oregano oil instead which...

Whats the point of testing?
mom2boyz replied to Bluegrass's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I'm a nurse, and I pretty much diagnosed myself, I'm not going to test for many reasons. First because I'm cheap, and I plan on having a nice retirement instead of spending a ton of money on multiple blood tests and endoscopies all so they can tell me to stop eating gluten. Second, I've worked with countless doctors and it's pick and choose the right day... -
I'm afraid to eat anything that might make me sick, and I'm trying to pinpoint a reaction I had this past weekend and a day last week. I figured it's either the processed meat from Spouts, but my son (who I suspect is more sensitive than I am -- he's had a couple of cross contamination issues with other kids) but he didn't react. Too much fruit, we had...

tooth extractions and gum problems
mom2boyz replied to AnneNewMilford's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I've had dental enamel issues since childhood, my back molars came in with cavities already in them, and most of the rest of my teeth have enamel and sensitivity issues that have gotten progressively worse. I found that brushing very well only once a day, every single day with an electric toothbrush and flossing every day in between my teeth up and down... -
I'm a new to gluten free also, it helps that my husband was already grain free, so we didn't have much of an adjustment other than no cookies or dining out for me anymore. You're going to have to change the way you eat. Look up the no sugar no grains diet, or the paleo diet, start trying new recipes, eating new foods, and stay away from processed food substitutes...

I'd say it's food poisoning, but there were 5 other people eating it with me. I'd say it was definitely gluten, but my son is also gluten sensitive, and he had no issues. Maybe it's just the processed food issue. I eat small amounts of bacon occasionally, but no other processed meats. I was thinking maybe the fat, spices, or food additives. We get...

I have been blissfully diarrhea free for 2 months and I'm not sure if I'm being glutened or not. I'm suspecting Sprouts meat department cross contamination, I emailed them suspecting their sausage a few days ago and they told me unapologetically that their sausages were not gluten free (despite the store clerk telling me otherwise, and the label not having...

That is a good point, I think I'll talk to his doctor about it. I really find the whole diagnosis process very unacceptable. I get that diagnosis is hard to get, but it's not very accurate, and it's potentially damaging.

I'm pretty sure I have celiac, and I've probably had it since I was a teenager. We're a Swedish family. I believe my aunt also has it (she's a head shorter than her siblings and has always had a hard time keeping food down), and my son who has weight gain issues, and hives that mysteriously and alarmingly come and go. I have what I thought was IBS, female...
