I am grateful to be alive!

Thank you for posting a great article!

I am trying not to be very angry at people who call something crap without any research. I was in pain and had intestinal bleeding for 27 years. The whole 30 is basically an elimination diet that helps you figure out what is healthiest for you as an individual to eat. After the 30 days you reintroduce foods on a schedule…

My niece introduced me to this diet. I haven't started yet because i an a little scared of it. Do any of you measure your ketone level? By urine, blood or breathe? How long does the bad breathe last? Should I worry about deficiencies in magnesium, zinc, potassium or Vitamin D? Why does every major medical group oppose this…

Very inspiring!

I did a search and could not find your group. Sorry.

Roasted teriyaki crickets in Japan, very tasty!

I have been following the FODMAP diet for three weeks. It makes a big difference! I used the Kate Scarlata's 21-day menu. Sue Sheperd's book is the bible but I found her recipes to be labor intensive.

I am back from kayaking, canoeing, camping around Mt. Hood in Oregon. We had 16 people on our annual family re-union camping trip. Three generations of wonderful people. I did not do well on the diet front but I still lost 2 more pounds! Short on time...I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the last few weeks of…

I am just beginning the journey to lose 50 lbs. It is tough because physical stress stimulates my immune system to overreact. It is a fine line between having fun exercising and ending up in the hospital followed by up to six months in bed. I am hoping that this time I can slow myself down enough that I avoid getting sick!…

Just holding my place on this thread until I have time to post!

Bump to find my place.

This may sound silly but I am very proud of having washed, dried and groomed my Siberian Husky today without any help from a groomer. It has been four years since I was healthy enough to do it by myself. I had a bit of emotional eating yesterday but I logged everything. I think logging everything helped stop the emotional…

I follow the FODMAP diet which includes gluten-free. Before the diet I was living on pain meds. Now I rarely ever need any pain meds. I make my whole family eat the same foods because I hate cooking more than one meal for so many people. My family loves the new foods! Going gluten-free takes a little extra work and…

Barbie, your sweater is beautiful and you look great! Grandmaille (sp?), I am very sorry about your sister. It is hard to focus on diet when someone dear to us is dying. Many virtual hugs to you. I have been following the FODMAP diet for one week. I lost 2.5 lbs last week! The diet is designed for people with digestive…

I use the SHAPE magazine app to find music with the same beats per minute as my target heart rate for workouts. Every week they post new music. I just download the ones I like. Runner magazine also posts great lists.

Thank you for the warm welcome everyone! I have been walking an hour a day and following the FODMAP elimination diet. So far it is working well. I have been afraid to eat fibrous foods for the last year because two of my no colon support group died from intestinal blockages. This diet has a lot of fiber but it is designed…

It is confusing but the apps do help. Some of my favorite GF products are by Udi, Erewhon, and Nature's Path. Glutino also makes good GF snack products. Watch out for GF products that up the sweetener. Not all GF products are good for a healthy diet. Good luck!

I am new and just beginning a journey to lose 50 lbs after being ill in bed for 3 1/2 years. Today I managed to walk for 90 minutes! Two months ago I moved to a neighborhood where I can walk to everything. It is wonderful to walk everywhere instead of driving.

] Fairytalemal, You wrote "gluten-free is a fad diet." You should definitely rethink that. Scientific research on the effect of gluten on "bad" intestinal bacteria began 40 years ago. Not everyone experiences this but for those who do, it can ruin their lives with incontinent diarrhea and exhaustion. National health care…

I am on my way to the store for Stevia! It appears the only two sweeteners I can eat are maple syrup and Stevia. I also eat gluten-free so I restrict the carbs too. I am very impressed with your weight loss! It is very inspirational.

Beautiful picture of a Siberian! Compression tights/nylons helped me when I was working retail. I also used Burt's peppermint circulation rub after my shifts. When I was training for marathons Biofreeze or Perform gel help speed up recovery. This one is shocking but it works to prevent next day pain, ice bath.

I am very intrigued by the Paleo diet. My surgeon said to wait another year before trying it. He has had a couple of patients without colons end up with temporary but painful intestinal blockages. I know there are other people with sugar intolerances. I was hoping someone would speak up about how they choose their foods.

I have a medical condition that makes artificial sweeteners dangerous. Certain sugars are okay such as sugars in maple syrup but agave, cane sugar and corn syrup can lead to hospitalization for me. Thank you both for the advice.

After you have been diagnosed with IBS, gluten intolerance tests are not needed. The "bad" bacteria in your gut flourish after eating products that contain gluten and a few other foods. This is not something that shows up in any test. The easiest way to determine what should be in your lifetime eating habits is to try the…
