Well i have GERD or Acid reflux disease also & if your wondering what foods make it better i can help you out with that.1st off you CANNOT eat any spicy foods you have to eat blan stuff for a while such as crackers & applesauce & vegetables & stuff like that but when u get discomfort try eating some crackers it works for me because the crackers kind of absorb some of the acid.But you have to be on a diet for a while no spicy foods,no citric acids such as orange juice because that can make it worse,& you aren't suppose to eat until you get full you have to eat in portions.If you have anymore ?'s feel free to email me.Hope I helped

Why is there so much attention given to Gluten-free foods in health-food stores & restaurants

Why is there so much attention given to Gluten-free foods in health-food stores & restaurants?
What is Gluten anyway, and why do people want to eliminate it from their diets? Sugar Pie - what is a PITA?

Celiac disease (allergic to gluten) seems to be on the rise, but those who can't tolerate gluten still want to enjoy the same flour based items as the rest of us. So the industry has developed substitute flours so they can enjoy breads, cakes, cookies, pasta, etc. without the affects of their disease. All wheat flours have gluten.
2 :
Due to the rising incidence of coeliacs disease it is essential that stores stock gluten free foods for sufferers.Gluten is a substance found in Wheat & some other grains(see link)Coeliacs disease is an intolerance of gluten.We have a person in our family with the disease. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluten http://www.coeliacsociety.com.au/dis-what.html
3 :
Many people ar allergic to glutten (celiacs disease). Reactions can me mild or serious but either way has a major impact on the individual who has the disease. And there are actually even more people that have the symptoms of celiaces but don;t even know why they are sick and feel like crap.
4 :
True celica disease (aka non-tropical sprue) is extremely rare. I think the rise in GF items is purely a trend, just like eating oat bran was in the 80's, low carb/Atkins was in teh 90's, avoiding trans fats was in the 00's. Some people think foods that contain gluten are full of the "wrong calories" or "too many" calories... whatever. So they avoid it. I have a friend who is a vegan and avoids gluten. She is a PITA to go out and eat a meal with!!! Gluten is one of the main proteins in wheat, rye, and barley. It gives bread it's stucture and shape, allowing it to hold shape when risen and baked. It is developed by kneading, and creates long (relatively! we're talking microscopic!) strings that cross and intersect to make bread take shape. Bread floru is extra high in gluten; pastry flour is extra low in gluten.
5 :
Celiac disease is not rare, 1in 133 have it, it is more commonly diagnosed because better test have been developed. Gluten is a protein found in wheat barley and rye. A person with celiac disease or a gluten intolerance will react after eating these grains. More information can be found at www.celiac.com Also, it is trendy to be gluten free right now after several celebs have stated they follow a gluten free diet

Has anyone used the colon cleansers you can get at a health food store? Which is the best one to use

Has anyone used the colon cleansers you can get at a health food store? Which is the best one to use?
Need to cleanse colon, but don't want to use a laxative. Need to know what is the best colon cleanser you can get.

Why do you need to cleanse your colon? There are several products on the market that claim colon health but since these are over the counter thing no clinical studies have been done. Every manufacturer can "hire" a panel of experts to claim their product as a winner. If you suspect something is wrong, go to a doctor and get tested. A colonoscopy procedure is very easy and comfortable. The only discomfort is the laxative that you will have to drink before the procedure but this only for less then a day so you will be able to do it

Can I get garlic & Cayenne pepper in pill form at health food stores

Can I get garlic & Cayenne pepper in pill form at health food stores?
I know that they are both good for many reasons but I cant take the heat. I would like to take both with my multi vitamins in the morning.

Yes you can. When you take vitamins or supplements you should eat something with it. It might be a better idea to take them when you get home from work, with supper though since garlic tends to give people bad breath and you might still feel the heat a little with cayenne capsules.
2 :
The active ingredient in Cayenne is Capsicum. http://www.cayennepepper.info/health-benefits-of-cayenne-pepper.html Here's the pill form of Capsicum. http://www.asktheherbalist.net/proddetail.php?prod=160-5 Here are some garlic supplements. http://wholesalesupplementstore.com/herbals-garlic.html

Are there any health food stores in Malmo, Sweden

Are there any health food stores in Malmo, Sweden?
Im thinking of moving to Malmo and I have questions such as are there any health food stores in Malmo? How much is a bottle of detergent or body soap? Are there any neighborhoods I should avoid when searching for an apartment? Is the food good (I am a foodie)?

There are plenty of health food stores, except I don't know about the actual 'food' - they seem to sell mainly natural/herbal remedies and organic beauty products. Soap (tvÃ¥l) will sell for anything from SEK 50 - 150. I'm not sure about detergents, if you mean the household variety, they may have some. I've added a link to the yellow pages hits I found for health food stores in MalmÃ¶. You should definitely avoid RosengÃ¥rd and the immediately surrounding areas (see map link below) when home hunting. Other than that, most areas are OK if you're not too fussy. If you're a foodie, MalmÃ¶ is a good city to live in. There are endless amounts of different restaurants, serving just about any ethnic food you can think of. The area called MÃ¶llevÃ¥ngen is particularly rich in ethnic food and shops. In its main square, MÃ¶llevÃ¥ngstorget, there is an open-air market on weekdays. I hear it's also a good area to live in if you're open to other cultures. If you're into organic food (ekologisk mat), you can get it from open-air markets, ordinary chain stores like ICA, Coop or Willy's, or from specialty shops such as MossagÃ¥rden. I've supplied some links for further info. Some of them, alas, are in Swedish, but you might get the general idea via online translators if your Swedish is nonexistent. :-) P.S. Personally I prefer the city of Lund, 10 miles up the motorway, but finding rented accommodation there is much more difficult than in MalmÃ
