    going GF? test results...

    If you want an "official diagnoses from your doctor" you are going to have to suffer. The blood test is hit and miss, and then you will need to have an endoscopy on top of that, if the blood test isn't conclusive (and some docs require it for a diagnosis). If you want to get a good test, I...

    mouth ulcers?

    Lori-How are you doing with your G-free diet? I have dealt with them (and tongue sores) since I can remember even when I was in school...I remember weeks where I would have so many in my mouth I wouldn't go to school, etc. My mouth hurt so bad. Even on my wedding day. :( I have tried many...

    Guten Free on a Budget PLUS! Gluten Free Sourdough blog!

    I am working on a g-free noodle recipe. I will post it when I get it perfected. I have an electric pasta maker, so I am not sure how it will transfer to a manual pasta maker. I hate buying noodles! They are about 3.50 for a package-which lasts 1.5 meals for our family of 4. But, I buy it...

    What do you do with milk crates?

    I put newspaper in the bottom of mine and use it to put my coop shoes in. I have it right by the back door, and I scoot it up to the door so when I come in, I step right in...no snow/straw/poop on the floor.

    Multivitamin for 18 yr old girl

    I agree with both of these posts. And, on a side note, now that I have been gluten free, I feel better-I am absorbing the nutrients from my food, and I have never felt better!

    WHO has converted to CFLs??

    I was watching a tv program, and they had a blurp on it. Basically, the waves of energy from electricity are normally smooth. With dirty electricity, it makes the wave look hairy-making an odd magnetic field- It will pass through all the wiring in the house, and even back into the grid. The...

    WHO has converted to CFLs??

    I know this is an old thread, but when I have time, I search through the oldies! Our house is all CFL, but we still have a few incandescents left--The coop and the dugout where our water pump is (we have a cistern), and the garage, but we don't go in there right now, since its too packed full...

    Calorie and food limiting diets, and weight gain Update in post 14!

    There are many types of fasts, and I think someone should consult their physician or health care provider as to what one would be right for them, and the proper way to go through one. I am pro-active when it comes to my health, and I am glad that others are too. If the RRARF way is working...

    Calorie and food limiting diets, and weight gain Update in post 14!

    I have been on a short fast before, and I want to fast for longer. I felt great-even though it was only for a few days. Now that I am somewhat settled, I might give it a try once my next cycle comes along. (I want to do my next fast during my cycle because you should refrain from "doing the...

    What Are They Thinking...??

    On paper it showed we made a lot of money. In reality we made very little. But self employment taxes have to be paid. Yes, everyone pays taxes, but some pay more than others. We were doing quite well until we used some of our savings (which we had put aside for times of strain) when we had 3...

    What Are They Thinking...??

    I guess I got upset because of 2 reasons. 1. My husband pays large amounts of taxes-that we could have used to buy groceries-to provide unhealthy foods for someone else. 2. At the time we didn't qualify, we were living on very little due to truck maintenance, repairs (truck fire, transmission...

    inducing labour?

    Tell your hubbs to, well, get over his self and get 'er done! And don't pull out! (I know this because when we were getting ready to have our first child, I said--honey, we need to do it...so we proceed to do it, and he pulls out at the end...I was like HONEY...you can't do that! The next...

    eczema/psoriasis type problem

    I started noticing a difference after about 5 days. But I was (and still am) militant about being g-free when I am at home. It wasn't allowed in the house for the first 5 weeks! I also drink lots of water (not tap water!) so I think that helps my body recover quickly. When I get...

    What Are They Thinking...??

    My point is, if you are using taxpayer money to buy food, it shouldn't be food that is making you sick, which, then the taxpayers would end up paying for again, down the road. The only reason why I know what was in their carts, is because I was their clerk. I don't go around peering in, looking...

    Ladies....help me out on this one UPDATE

    The ND-that recommended my hormone replacement with Natural Progesterone-suggested that I double the dose of NP for the first month to get my levels up quicker. It isn't recommended to go further than that with such a high dose. My husband-well-he loved it! :p
