  • iSmoothRun will switch from GPS to accelerometer if the GPS signal is too low. And it posts to your RunKeeper account.

  • In my thoroughly unprofessional opinion - definitely autoimmune in your case. I would not say you are gluten sensitive, I would say you are gluten intolerant. Lupus, RA, fibro, etc. are all autoimmune disorders, and the symptoms of one ai can mimic those of another. (Or various ai may just all be different presentations of…
  • I still get them with my cycle and chinooks, but the rest of my triggers seem to be under control. Gluten is a really big trigger in my family.
  • I am vegetarian, dairy-free, grain-free, some allergies, but eggs are in and I eat them several times a week.
  • I'm interested in raw recipes, but not in being 100% raw. I have allergies to some nuts and to dates, I don't dehydrate, and I don't do smoothies except as a very occasional treat. But I am interested in great naturally raw food recipes.
  • Celiacs are more likely to have all kinds of food allergies and intolerances, due to food molecules getting into the bloodstream from a damaged gut. Grains, nightshades, dairy, soy, corn, nuts, etc. are all common.
  • Celiac disease leads to vitamin deficiencies and anemia due to malabsorption, so someone on a gluten free diet is more likely to have vitamin deficiencies due to the disease. Specialty GF products are very expensive, I agree. I try to stick to whole foods or make my own.
  • I made this today - adjusted for our family's dietary needs. Used Daiya dairy free cheese, and swapped our favourite pizza toppings, mushrooms and pineapple - for the pepperoni. I don't have mini muffin tins, so just made them into small patties on a parchment lined tray. Made 28 patties with the recipe. They were awesome.…
  • I figured if I can walk fast, I should be able to run slow without getting so out of breath. So I started off by running at my walking speed. Was up to five km in three runs. Very slow, but running and no walking. I was running at about 11 min/km. Since then I have worked my speed down to 6:30 min/km. I do run/walk…
  • Have you tried removing gluten?
  • Organic oats are not the same as certified gluten free oats. The problem is not chemicals, it is wheat contamination. Grown in the same field, shipped in the same trucks, processed in the same plants.
  • There is the same amount of sugar in a dried fruit as in the whole fruit, but because the fruit has been dehydrated, it is a much more concentrated sugar source, and you tend to eat more at a time. For example, same amount of sugar in a grape and in a raisin, but if you eat half a cup of raisins, there is far more sugar…
  • Exercise can definitely change your period, and dropping body fat too low with your running can stop your periods. Since I started running, my period has changed from a 24 day cycle (yuck!) to sometimes 30 days. It is also much lighter and cramps almost completely gone. I have twice completely missed periods due to stress.…
  • It may be "break through" bleeding around ovulation, rather than your period 2 weeks early. Various kinds of birth control can cause break through bleeding. Call your doctor or public health nurse if you are concerned.
  • As much as possible, stick to whole/made from scratch foods that are naturally gluten free. Feel free to browse my diary and ask questions. I am gluten free, as well as having a number of other restrictions.
  • Have you tried any accupuncture for the pain? It can help. II have also discovered that icing an injury the night before my morning run and taking an ibuprofen before bed seems to make more of a difference than icing it immediately after a run. Maybe just because I have more time to spend on it, I don't know. But it makes…
  • I am vegetarian, grain-free, dairy free, and have a number of other allergies or intolerances. My diary is open, please feel free to browse for ideas of what to eat. To find lots of gluten-free, dairy-free advice, use "GFCF" (gluten free casein free) in your Google searches. You will find so many recipes and pages of…
  • Someone who doesn't already have established vegetarian eating habits. Someone who is just learning to eat vegetarian instead of omni. It is particularly targeted at men.

  • My physiotherapist recommended Pilates to strengthen my core to help prevent running injuries, particularly with my leg length discrepancy.
  • I found Engine 2 recipes to contain a lot of soy meat analogues, refined grains, etc. But a good transitional book for newbies.

  • Symptoms of celiac disease are not limited to digestive symptoms. Many celiacs have no digestive symptoms at all. Here are some of the possible symptoms, but celiac disease can cause problems with any system in your body. http://www.celiac.com/articles/1106/1/Celiac-Disease-Symptoms/Page1.html I would not bother going…
  • Um, yes, even if you are the same height and weight, a male's energy requirements are higher than a female's. Not by huge amounts, just a few hundred calories, but his energy requirements are higher than yours.
  • Check the package to see whether there are any sugars on the ingredients. If not, those are naturally occurring sugars. Personally, I wouldn't consume a lot of cous cous (even if I could) because it is still a processed food. It is not whole wheat, it is refined wheat. I would substitute a whole grain (rice, cracked wheat,…
  • While it's frustrating, you have to be willing to take care of yourself. Assume when you go out that you won't be able to eat anything but what you bring. Cook for yourself at home. Don't make cheating an option. Even my hubby, who is completely supportive, forgets that I can't have this or that, particularly when it's a…
  • You really just have to cut it. If you keep waffling on it, you never really get it out of your system. Feel free to browse my diary for recipe ideas. The only thing you're allergic to that you'll find in there is potato.

  • I agree 35 is way too low. I cook from scratch, rarely add sugar to anything, and only bake treats once in a while, and my sugars are usually 70-150 g. I eat plenty of fruit, a little bit of chocolate, occasional honey. If you're getting it from whole foods, and you're not diabetic or fructose intolerant or such, I…
  • We eat these foods regularly: - pasta - marinara or with a faux alfredo sauce (no dairy here) - veggie burgers - taco salad (with beans/chili) - pancakes and eggs - curry - chili - soup
  • I eat way more (volume) than my hubby does at meals. But he consumes more calories in the day than I do because he: - has fries/chips, chocolate milk, candy, and/or pop during the day - his salad is a little spoonful of greens and a big spoonful of dressing. Mine is usually 2 cups of greens and no dressing. - he eats more…
