Anyone heard that white bread can help gluten sensitivity?
Hi All, I just went to a food intolerance seminar last night and it mentioned that people with gluten intolerance can quite often tolerate white refined grains and bread. Is this true?

How do you cope when lowering your intake?
Hi all, I recently had a pretty good 6lb loss and was wanting to go to the next level of losing. You may ask why since I lost but I'm wanting to have one more baby and I don't have time on my side (I'm 42). I just revamped the goals to go down to 1490 cals instead of 1790. Question is, do you think it's too much of a shock…

Any food tips for road trips?
Hi all, We're about to go on a long road trip to visit relatives this coming weekend and I was wondering if anyone had any food tips for taking food with us instead of buying McDonald's, Subway, KFC etc. We've recently gone vegetarian so I'm probably going to have to prepare something in advance that can be frozen. We'll…

I'm well aware the need for protein in losing weight but since rice, potatoes, pasta etc are a big part of a vegetarians diet (well mine…
