I need thinner sandwiches, wraps and softer foods. Sugar is my downfall, craving has me choosing chocolate granola with chia seed the other day. I would rather have eaten cake, cookies or candies because fatigue makes me crave carbs. My eyes have gotten drier. They burn and ache, accompanied with migraines. How bad can my dry eyes get? It's disabling when lying down with my eyes closed can be only a small relief.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05115937510103458599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-690850457652849477.post-72332581938146294542015-10-03T08:20:57.431-07:002015-10-03T08:20:57.431-07:00i've never tried it but coffee has always hurt...i've never tried it but coffee has always hurt my stomach. i'm thinking about trying it but i'm not sure which one to try, i've seen helva and puroast but i also saw something called buisman's coffee flavor activator. it looks interesting but i'm not sure if it would actually work so i'm just wondering if anyone's heard of this or tried it and if it actually is gentler on your stomach. also which kind of low acid coffee is best? <br /><a href="http://http://www.healthwisecoffee.com" rel="nofollow">swiss water process decaf</a>Addison Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08992002311342310328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-690850457652849477.post-46849135261155328462014-10-31T09:14:22.455-07:002014-10-31T09:14:22.455-07:00"Good nutrition" is easy to say. What co..."Good nutrition" is easy to say. What constitutes "good" is another matter.<br /><br />In 2004 Dr. Alessio Fasano discovered that the connection between celiac disease and wheat ingestion is caused by the small intestines releasing zonulin. Zonulin defeats the tight junctions between intestinal cells, and passes undigested lumen into the bloodstream. Since that discovery there have been two other discoveries. 1) All autoimmune diseases begin with zonulin and gut porosity. 2) The zonulin reaction is caused by bad bacteria in the microbiome of the small intestine. Wheat contains gluten protein, but any food with reactive proteins can produce the same response, particularly in the presence of fructose sugar .....anything which tastes sweet .....yes anything. <br /><br />Different people react differently to different foods. However, common culprits include grassy grains (wheat, barley, rye and oats), legumes (beans, peas and peanuts), nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes and peppers), all dairy (lactose and casein A1), nuts, eggs, and foods with zeaxanthin and other polyphenol dyes.Mayweathernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-690850457652849477.post-47804118915907584612013-11-19T08:13:15.062-08:002013-11-19T08:13:15.062-08:00Terrific information.

I went on the recommended meds but went the naturopathic route as well. I started cleansing toxins from my body and filling myself up with the nutrient dense shakes from Isagenix Maybe I am in remission, but within a month a no longer was achey or stiff and was bounding up the stairs. A homeopath helped with saliva and tear production. I am not perfect, still have better or worse days, but I am SO much better. Medication is not the only answer.lindoreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11753014037533767604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-690850457652849477.post-86692294185060229192009-03-06T18:44:00.000-08:002009-03-06T18:44:00.000-08:00Great advice for the most part - my health problem...Great advice for the most part - my health problems are different but include fatigue and low saliva production, and I've noticed a definite improvement since I started living mostly off vegetables. It's also cheap! <BR/><BR/>I'm a bit skeptical of the advice that eating pure protein "increases the production of the chemicals that are also released when you are under acute mental or physical stress". How is that supposed to be different from what caffeine does, and why are there no side effects? Not to be snobby about it, but the quality of degrees in nutrition is pretty varied and Sue Gilbert doesn't appear to have the more demanding dietician's qualifications. Most of what she says in that article is sensible, but there are a few red flags - recommending supplements for everyone and the minimally processed food myth, for starters.<BR/><BR/>Take care, and watch out for quacks!
