I have found this enzyme supplement very helpful. I think it has helped me to deal with consuming small amounts of gluten or dairy without suffering any side effects. Highly recommend it.

I'm trying to find an alternative to Claritin-D... I can definitely tell a difference in my allergies by using this, but it isn't doing the full trick for me. I think I need to find something to take care of the "D" (decongestant) part of the drug I'm trying to replace, 'cause this doesn't take care of all my symptoms.

After getting off of prescription anti-depressants, I found using this 5-HTP very helpful in regulating the remaining mood issues I had. As a side note, I have since learned (accepted) that much of my problem with depression stems from an intolerance of gluten. The day after a meal with a lot of gluten (pasta, bread) I tend to suffer a severe bout of depression. Between largely eliminating gluten from my diet and using enzymes (see Enzymatic Therapy's Gluten Defense), I am doing much better and reducing even my need for 5-HTP! :-)

My husband and I love using coconut oil for cooking eggs and for mixing into things like our fat-free-plain yogurt. My husband did lots of research beforehand and found this brand to be most highly recommended. We definitely love it. It's easy to use (though you have to melt it a bit to get it to be a liquid), and tastes great. We've tried it with chicken and salmon and haven't been thrilled with the results... but I'm willing to give it another shot over using olive oil... just have to convince my hubby! :)
