Food intolerences...
Comments (33)I'm not sure what my allergies are, but I suspect that there are several and plan to check it out more fully in the near future. I'm thinking about ordering a home test kit,, which is inexpensive and better than nothing, I guess. The allergy test only tests for milk, egg white, and wheat, but that might be a good enough start. I think I might have problems with eggs, and I have no idea about wheat. I do already know that milk is a no-no, and I probably knew this as a child, since I refused to drink it then. I loved spinach and turnip greens as a child (and still like them), and so I think I got the nutrients I needed without milk. The only dairy product I would eat as a child was cottage cheese. I would order pizza without cheese, and people at the restaurants back then would think I was crazy. According to Ming on his last show that I saw, cilantro is the most consumed herb worldwide. Since it is popular in Mexico, India, and China, that probably makes sense. I've heard of people thinking that it tastes nasty, and I think they have different taste buds or olfactory nerved than others. There's no reason to believe that it tastes the same to everyone, and people are aware that their tastes change during life. I love cilantro, BTW. I worked with a woman who was allergic to garlic, and so I'm not unfamiliar with that. I always thought she had some vampire blood in her, however, but I would not eat garlic toast in front of her.

Comments (6)Hmmm, thanks casey, I don't think that's what he has then. I know he needs to see a dr., but he WON'T. The other night he was out ice fishing with my son and when he came home he could hardly move from pain under his diaphragm and around to his back on the right side. He has been just sitting in his recliner since then. He says he feels better now. He says he thinks whatever is wrong with him was aggravated from sitting on his fishing bucket for so long....See MoreHow do you know if your infant is lactose intolerant?
Comments (17)Lactose intolerance in infants are rare and this is why enfalac , nestle..etc.. will not make those formulas for babies. It is cost effecient for their companies and straight and easy to manufacture the reg milk given. My friends baby was diagnosed with true lactose intolerance. The symptoms for her baby was cramps, diarrhea, vomiting, crying..alot of gas. She called me and i'm lactose intolerant as an adult so the same symptoms follow. But i told her to confirm with the doctor. She went and got gripe water for the gas and gave her baby water to replace fluids while she went to the hospital. Dehydrationis dangerous for a little one.!! Put her back on the lactose free milk! i know you want to save..but you wont save any money if your babe has diarrhea and pain..more diapers to change, docs to go, and medicine. Oh yah,,, try goats milk. Apparently there are alot of allergies linked to cow milk now. You can find it in the organic health section. But that is not cheap either....See Morelactose intolerance--very confused
Comments (8)Lactose intolerance is a case-by-case issue, not one-size-fits-all. I've been dealing with this issue since 1981 with our son, then our granddaughter, and hubby also. It's one of the reasons I've used lactose-free and low-lactose whey-based milk substitutes since 1981. Many people continue to make some of the enzyme necessary to break down lactose, others may not make any at all or only infrequently, so it often depends on the amount, type, and frequency of dairy products consumed. Add to that, the higher the fat content (butter, whole milk, half & half, cream) the lower the amount of lactose. Ghee, which has the milk solids removed, is nearly lactose-free because only the fat remains. Conversely, the lower the fat content the higher the amount of lactose. That's why one person can have whole milk, half & half or cream in small amounts, but low-fat milk bothers them. Most don't have an issue eating cookies made with butter, as an example of a high-fat dairy, in my experience. Homemade kefir has very little lactose due to fermentation, and the small amount that remains, is for the most part, broken down so it's easy to digest without causing stomach distress. The same can be true of yogurt, especially if it's made with whole milk. -Grainlady...See Moreravencajun Zone 8b TX
