Beachgirl, I've been off the grains for two years now, which seems to be the biggest health gain for me and my digestive issues. But at this point in my life my problems had gotten bad enough that I...

I also did McDougall. The food was not as good that's for sure. I have to say though, I felt amazing on that diet. It was not something I could maintain though and I gave it up after just a year. I...

Huh, I think that may be it. My symptoms don't fit that Wikipedia page, but still, the idea makes sense. And the discussion on MDA hits home in a few places.

I used to think I had problems with...

I don't think it's oxalates. I'm reading up on them and there are various foods (like bell peppers and sweet potatoes) that are high in them that I don't have a problem with. Unless the greens have a...

I don't feel bad when I eat them, no cramps, no stomach upsets, just serious diarrhea. Sounds similar to what Primal123 says. Sorry if this is TMI, but it's obviously going through me without much...

Long story short, I had problems with digestion (diarrhea and gas mostly) for years before cutting all grains out of my diet. Everything improved after that. Been grain free (at least that I know of)...

My 14 year old is feeling a popping sensation in her Achilles tendon area last night and today. She says it doesn't hurt, it just feels weird.

She's not very active right now so I doubt it's...

Sarasue, unfortunately, I totally know how you feel. Really, really wish I didn't, lol! It's definitely a physical thing. It lessens when I eat well but I just have to give in once and I'm gone. The...

Thank you! That helps my understanding a lot.

Oh gosh yes, the tums. We're saving money not needing those anymore, lol! My husband and I went through a lot of bottles in the old days (first SAD, followed by a low fat, high whole grain, almost...

Yeah, I don't think it's an issue at all for me, I'm just curious and confused :)

Mike, so even if we are eating low carb (I know not everyone here is, but I lean that way), we still have glycogen...

Can someone clear something up for me? I'm just confused ;)

I keep reading that if you are working out, having carbs (like sweet potato) after is a good idea. Why wouldn't it be before?

And...

Awesome!!!!

I had really bad acid reflux and it got a bit better when I tried gluten free but it didn't go entirely away until I went grain free. I even got back on the sugar wagon for a year and...

Ditto on the kid workout. Mine is carrying my 10 year old. He runs at me and jumps up and I catch him and then I walk around a bit or even run a few steps with him. I'm not in good enough shape to...

LOL! Yeah, I think I'm walking away (and maybe hitting the "hide" button :) )

I know what works for me won't work for everyone else. Are you saying we shouldn't give suggestions? What's the point of the forum then?

And yes, some people have a sensitivity, do you have a...

Ok, good for you. But the thread is talking about digestive problems. I was one of those people with digestive issues throughout my adult life and cutting grains fixed that, so I gave that...

Hey! Good luck :) And a few things to help.

You asked for a doctor, so he here's a link. Diet Doctor - Real food for your health There are more out there, but this is the one I like. He's...

I've never been diagnosed with anything (they told me it was "stress") but had daily diarrhea, heartburn (varying between mild and extremely painful) gas and bloating for years. I literally had...

I'm sorry to hear your wife has it so bad right now.

I also want to chime in with a Whole30 recommendation. Like primal, but stricter (no dairy, plus it's 100%, not 80/20). Most people doing a...

Fingers crossed for you! :D

outdooramy, I'm finding it's more than that. I was doing it on the balls of my feet and after my first C25K session (I've only done one day, lol!), my calves really hurt. I googled and I'm doing it...

I have started the couch to 5 k and I'm doing it in minimal, or no shoes :) Before anyone yells at me for going too fast I want to say I jogged on a rebounder in bare feet 45 minutes a day for three...

NJ! I'll send you the link to the Meetup :D

Thanks!

I don't know how intense this workout would be considered, just that it's intense for someone who doesn't work out much and is not in good shape, lol! My gut says that once I get past the...
