Read "Dangerous Grains". Good book to explain Gluten Intolerance. Or google "The Gluten File".

Thanks Matt! The taco meat and meatless chili sound really good, I'll try that next week. The lemon juice water and the iced tea are on the list too. Unsweetened tea sounds awful, but maybe I could get my tastebuds into if I really get motivated for a few days. I was reading they tested 1/48 of a slice of bread was the level of gluten that was damaging. I'd just like to not be so tired, irritable and having indigestion all the time....

Thanks, Amanda, that's very good to know. I was taking Vitamin D without realizing that it could worsen magnesium deficiency. I make sure that there is at least a 4 hour lag in taking the two supplements: I may take Vit D at breakfast, then after lunch, I may take a 250 mg magnesium. Just in case they may deplete one another if taken too closely together. So far so good. Will see if these rid me of my dizziness....

I always try natural cures first, but if you're not healing, that's where modern medicine comes in; I'd also get a second opinion from a naturopath. I was on antibiotics for Mastitis. Mastitis is an infection of breast tissue. You can die from it. All the garlic in the world wouldn't have saved me. After my antibiotics I was on probiotics for a month. Avoiding dairy and other intestinal irritants will also help minimize...

Then it would be that much more important for you to cut through the bullshit and go right at the truth, don't you think? I used to have 15/20 vision before I cut out all sugar and adopted an all meat diet. Now after a couple of years, my vision is better than 20/20. I don't know why that is, but I'm...

No problem. Drinking, in my opinion, can be a habit used to "fill you up" on meals containing lots of fat, and otherwise little protein. But the general rule is drinking between eating is most beneficial, since the water goes through the system doing what it's supposed to do with little interference with digestion. If I eat a very high fat meal (which can actually be no larger than the size of our hand) than I usually...

Quote: I am feeling fatigued and often dizzy ... especially when I go without eating for more than 4 hours. Hm, could be a sign of either just plain not enough food energy, or a metabolism that is still tilted more toward sugar-burning than fat burning. 3-4 hours after a meal is when fat-burning really kicks in, so something is choking up for you at that point. First impression, I too think it looks like your body is eating itself up. (what...
