Hi Wayne, I just saw the forecast predicting Ike to hit Texas hard around Galviston, Houston. My thoughts went to you as I know you are in Texas - none of you MC friends are ever far from my thoughts - in fact, I probably think of you countless times every day, weird as it may be :wink: Wayne, I rea...

What's cooking? Hi cave people - I have been gone from this site for a long time; but you make me feel at home as soon as I log on. You guys continue to inspire. I've missed you! The Marinated Lamb and Spicy Sweet Eggplant looks delicious - the blogger apologizes for the poor quality of her photo bu...

Hi Reggie, I am soy intolerant. It is interesting to me that you should ask about soy lecithin in connection with chocolate. I have found a dark chocolate w/o soy lecithin in it; it is German of brand name Hachez. The company makes several different dark (thus also dairy free) chocolates that are w/...

Rock On, Matthew

P.S. wasn't able to locate a "smashing guitar" emoticon?!

Hi Wayne, Glad that you are getting better so soon; it doesn't matter if it is placebo or "real" effect as long as it works, right?! Thanks for asking about my mother. I wish I had a completely positive answer to the question but I don't see her often enough to know the details and she is ...

I am sorry to hear this, Wayne - but sometimes it is better to know than not to; at least now you have an explanation for the weight gain issue and perhaps also a solution in the form of medication to control the problem. I wonder if it is a male issue in particular - my mother is a another example ...

Reggie, you have a good sense of humor

I can only say, it's already very popular at my house......

:butterfly: :butterfly: Congratulations, Beth :butterfly: I am very happy for you - I haven't been on the board for a little while but I remember that you were struggling last time I read a post from you; that's when you were doing very well with your diet while still taking supplements. I have to a...

Miss Shirley - you are too kind to me; Thank you for your encouragement

Love,
Karen

Wayne, Thank you for your follow up on the oats trial. My mother, who lives in Denmark and is diagnosed Celiac (although not a typical celiac?????) tried oats recently. She ate the oats "raw" (not cooked) with tap water added (sounds delicious, right :shock: ). She claimed while I visited ...

Thank you, Wayne - I thought I knew grain vinegar was safe but after buying it I started to feel afraid that I had misunderstood something so I thought is was better to ask before drinking it. Thanks again. Nothing much going on here - living a very normal life with work, kids, family, etc. I am cur...

Hi, I hope you are doing well - I miss you guys. I have bought a bottle of Knudsen's Veggie Juice but I am afraid of drinking any of it. It contains grain vinegar. Is grain vinegar OK for me or should I stay away from opening that bottle? Knudsen's also makes a tomato juice that is bottled. It doesn...

Hi Beth, Thank Goodness for the news from you :grin: I am very ahppy to hear that you are finally finding a way to start feeling better and having better control. I don't know who inspired you to stop takingn supplements or to cut way back on them but the person was in my opinion right on the mark. ...

I found Matthew's link to the article in Elain Gottschall's book/site interesting. I especially like her metaphor for the GI tract in the following quote - a rain forest! It is very beautiful to visualize the GI tract this way and I cetainly wish to keep the beautiful natural balance in my rain fore...
