Trying some gluten free waffles this morning.
The kids made lasagna yesterday and I had a little half of a piece (small quantities of some stuff seems to be ok with me) and it was quite tasty.....but while I was out walking last night the feeling of having eaten a brick hit me.
So, this is what I don't get.....I had 2 small slices of some amazing pizza last week (at that bridal shower) and I expected to suffer, but didn't. This little bit of lasagna, I expected to be fine and not so much.
Do you think it is the "leaky gut" syndrome? In my gluten free approach, I haven't tried any gluten free pastas or breads or anything like that. I just haven't eaten it. It isn't easy and I still get the brick feeling sometimes. When I first started gluten free, I thought I just had to make sure everything was free of gluten...even meat seasonings or everyday products. Now, I have read where it is saying to leave off oats, corn, peas, and beans until you heal. It is even suggested to go lactos free....and leave off eggs.....it is all so much and so confusing and most doctots or so close minded about this info. Also, started reading last night some of what a naturopath has written about yeast growing...yet hidden...in the body and her own personal experience after taking tons of antibiotics as a child. I am so confused

But hopeful.

Hi Jan
yeah.. yeast growth in the digestive track can be a very significant problem. It was something Dr. Wong-Ken used to work with. He had a way to address it. Actually that might have evolved over time..
I shared a "client" with Dr. Gable. She was working on him for the gut yeast problem.. and at the time he had to stay away from sugar. He would go some time without it.. and then cheat.. like Super Bowl Sunday.. he wanted to treat himself.. well if you had sugar before the "program" was through.. you defeated it's purpose. He ended up back at square one. He never really understood..

.. and eventually moved on from both of us...

Thank you for sharing this with me, Glenn.
I don't know if your worship emoticon means that this "client" may have died or not. Well, I hope that he found a plan that worked for him, instead....if he survived. If he didn't survive, then I will take it as a cautionary tale. I know I must make some radical changes to be a healthier person. I know it cannot just be my diet and excercise....it is also negativity, stress, depression....and how I don't deal with things in the right way. I am active at work, but I don't get enough excercise in my off time. There is obviously something in my diet that isn't quite right either and I hope the book I ordered recently will help shed some light on these things.
At the same time, I promised my husband that I would follow doctors orders, as well. Maybe doing both will be a good thing

I don't know....but my goal will be to eventually get off meds, only if I turn my health around first.
Again, I promise to speak about something else, when I am on here later this week... it is just right there on my mind at the moment....but, again, I get to return to work 2moro

and I will speak of it less....I promise. Thanks for bearing with me. It helps reduce the fear

Jan.. in this case the emoticon.. was Dr. Gable and I being thankful the "client" moved on to someone else.
While someone with gut yeast.. may not be that comfortable.. or well... it is not anything that is life threatening. We each worked with him compassionately for quite some time... but he got to the point.. he did not get it.. did not do as he was supposed to.. and was at a point when it was not beneficial to any of us.. shruggy..
