I have a friend who swears she feels better doing gluten free. I know I feel so much better doing low carb, it is just doing it.

I thought about bee keeping. It has only be a thought.

My chicks should have arrived today. Maybe they are shipping them today, because there is no shipping update and the post office would have called by 10:15.

It helped me a lot when I would get seasonal allergy attacks. In the Spring and Fall, I would tend to wake up with watery eyes, runny nose and I would go to bed all stuffed up. A spoonful of honey whenever the symptoms got bad helped ease up the symptoms and over a week or so, they would get dramatically better.

Honestly, the BIGGEST thing that helped my allergies was going gluten-free. My inflammatory reactions have gone WAY down. For example, when I would get bitten by a mosquito, I used to get a welt the size of a quarter. Since going gluten free, the welts have generally been pea sized or smaller. The same goes for my allergies and sinus infections. Since going gluten free, my nasal passages drain better and I RARELY get so stuffed up I can't breathe. My asthma is almost non-existent. I've only had to use an inhaler for 2-3 periods in the 7 years since I've gone gluten free and those were when I got a bad chest cold.

I'm not saying everyone should go gluten free, but it is might be worth seeing if there is anything in your daughter's diet that she is allergic to that could be enhancing her inflammatory and histamine reactions (I'm thinking about your previous post about her having extreme histamine reactions). My reaction to gluten isn't an allergy, but a sensitivity and it doesn't really show up on allergy tests, so I had to go on a gluten free diet to see improvement.

Closer but nope. the sticky out-y bits droop and are evenly distributed over the flower. Its frustrating. I'm google searching stuff like crazy but I haven't seen it yet. I'm going to go out later and see if the plant placard is still at the base of the plant somewhere.

My migraines are triggered by nuts, artificial sweeteners and shellfish. I get migraines less often than I did before going gluten free. I was tested for celiac, came up negative, but had a lot of the same symptoms my dad used to have (he tested positive) I went on the diet an felt worlds better in a week. Even though going gluten free helped my headaches/migraines a LOT, they were still a problem and I took painkillers (generally Aleve was the only thing that worked for them 2-3 times a week. Also, one thing I did find out is that the more painkillers and meds I took. The more I seemed to need to keep on an even keel. When I found that the primary painkiller I took for headaches and migraines (NSAIDS) can interfere with fertility (about 6 months before DH and I were going to start trying for kids) I went off them cold turkey. The first 2-3 months were horrible, but after that I settled down and I get maybe 1-2 headaches a month and 3-4 migraines a year (usually centered around illnesses) and the duration and impact of the migraines is MUCH shorter than it used to be. I use homeopathy and other natural treatments for my headaches now they definitely help me. Since stopping painkillers for headaches, the only time I used any painkillers since was in the 3 weeks post c-section.

They warned us about not using meds more than a couple times a week to avoid rebound headaches. They also are having her take a couple vitamins - B2 (not B12) and something else I can't remember right now. They wanted to put her on toprimax, but I wanted to try something more natural first & hope it works before going straight to the major meds. She saw an allergist who said she shouldn't be taking nsaids b/c of her histamine problems b/c it makes it worse. No one ever told us that before & I always gave her ibuprofen & aleve. Aleve is my go-to for my shoulder and knee pain. Even have a bottle sitting on my desk right now. I put a couple books on hold so I'm hoping that I can find some info in there that will help her. I think stress is a big part of her problem, but she didn't want to do the stress reducing classes w/ the therapist. We go back in a couple months so if things don't get better I'm going to have her go. I figure I'll give her a chance to do it w/o help and see what happens. If she does it, great, if not the therapist can try to help her.

Xenas Nuggets are doing SUPER. I really REALLY gotta get some pics of those little things. So cute! They've been outside since day 1, and no issues whatsoever.

No peeps from the eggs yet, at noon it makes it day 19. Trying to keep the incubator with high humidity is proving to be a challenge. I have soaked sponges inside, but the humidity keeps dipping back down into the 50s. :barnie

LOCAL, RAW honey helps the kiddo bunches and bunches... it really does..... and we try to eat low carb/keto/AIPish here...... I have no food *allergies* per se, however I am sensitive to wheat (I get wheat belly), nightshades, the casein in dairy, and a LOT of fruits (and honey damn it) I react to with heart racing and palpitations.... so I am very aware of what I put into my pie hole.....

Helping kiddo with his allergies is probably one of the main reasons I'd keep bees. I'd like to find a local beekeeper who has a hive that split.

What do you guys do with your honey Ruby? Sell it?

Can't wait to see them all!
I'll have to try to get her to do the honey thing again. She can be a bit of a turd when it comes to stuff like that. She's the kid who'd spit her meds out at you when she was little. I guess I never have to worry about her getting hooked on drugs. Hates needles & pills like you wouldn't believe.

My best friend has a wheat allergy. It's been horrible just watching her deal with it. Can't take her anywhere & she always has to take food along w/ her. Doesn't help that she's super picky about everything to begin with. Plus her other allergies keep her from eating the things most people rely on when they can't have wheat.
