Detoxification

I met some lady with celiac disease the other day and she was surprised when I told her I didn't do anything special for detoxification when I found out I had celiac disease (I just stopped eating gluten). I'm not sure what else she did, but she mentioned that she just recently went for blood tests at an aruvetic (not sure what the actual word is) practitioner, and after 9 months she could still see gluten in her bloodstream. If you stop eating it though, shouldn't it be out of your bloodstream without doing anything additional?

What does anyone else think about this?

I don't know about seeing gluten in the bloodstream directly - maybe her words for something else. But my impression is that she might have been getting some gluten unknowingly. If so then she still could be.

I didn't do any detox-specific stuff, but I would hope eating healthily will enable your body to move stuff along as best as may be expected under the circumstances. Be sure to get your daily magnesium, iron, Vitamin C, calcium, etc. Those and a few others come to mind as typical deficiencies, and don't overlook B12. I'd recommend a daily sublingual supplement of that in the methylcobalamin form.

When I looked into detox stuff, I found that it seems to also purge vital nutrients from your system. Minerals appear to be particularly vulnerable to detox products. I figured that wasn't exactly what I needed!

she was talking about ayervedic medicine - which is grounded in tantric philosophy and is part of yoga practice. Ayervedic medicine "types" your body and determines according to an extensive analysis of skin type, body shape,personality trait, etc. what foods are postiive for your system and which are regressive. I don't follow it, but do know it has some merits (ayervedic practices have been around for hundreds of years). I don't quite know how it would apply to celiac & detox b/c all the body types can have grains that contain gluten, but some more than others...however, that is where she was coming from...

      Not Sure What to Think

      By trents · Posted

      That's a good idea. It can at least establish the potential for developing celiac disease and can help people decided between a celiac diagnosis and NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). And it doesn't require a gluten challenge and can be had without a doctor's prescription.

      Anyone had endoscopy with a cold/cough???

      By awright24 · Posted

      I have my endoscopy on Thursday, has anyone had the procedure done with a cough? I don't have a continuous cough, but every now and then throughout the day I have sort of coughing episodes. They are a lot better than they were but I called endoscopy and they said to speak to my gp and my gp got back to me and said I need to ask endoscopy if its ok if I have it done still.  Help!

      Thank you so much, everyone. For the moment my doctor just has me taking iron but hopefully we can reconnect soon. I'm going to look into genetic testing, too. Great advice all around and I appreciate it--and you can bet I'm going off the PPIs!

      Sore muscles

      By Eldene · Posted

      I walk fast for fitness, 4 to 6 km per day. I am also 74 years old. Apart from the Celiac challenge, my lifestyle is healthy. I had a sciatiac nerve pinching under my one foot, with inflamation in my whole shin. It was almost cured, when the other shin started paining and burning. I do stretches, use a natural cooling gel and rest my feet. Can Celiac cause muscle pains/inflamation, or is it just over-excercising?

      Trader Joe's grocery prodcuts

      By LovintheGFlife · Posted

      I recently started shopping at a nearby Trader Joe's store. I was surprised at the number and variety of (healthy) gluten-free options sold there. I must admit their low prices are also quite tempting. However, I am curious as to the labeling on all their packages. While none of their products are certified as gluten-free, many are identified as 'GLUTEN FREE' on the packaging. Are these items safe for celiacs? Has anyone tried Trader Joe's products and have there been any adverse reactions?
