Gluten Intolerance...

When were you tested for infections? It sometimes takes 3-6 months for them to come out after you have been gluten free. I work with biohealth diagnostics and they have the number 1 workup anywhere. Parasites and other infectious agents hide out in the damaged gut. They specialize with celiacs and in 20 years they have ALWAYS found infections in people who are gluten intolerant. It's just a question when they will be found. I could take months before they come out...My test results will be back in two weeks. I'll keep you posted!

Thomas,

I was just tested and I've been gluten-free 4 months now. I'm taking small amouts of grapefruit seed extract each day and lots of probiotics just in case ;)

Thanks Richard! I never thought about parasites. I will look into getting those tests done. Do the parasites actually come from the foods we eat? I do eat a lot of sushi.

Take a midol. Seriously, it has something to stop the fluid retention.

I don't want to freak anyone out here, but are you sure that Midol is gluten-free??

I tried to check and never got a response from the company. It isn't on ANY gluten-free medication list I have ever seen and when I went gluten-free two years ago everyone seemsed to think it wasn't gluten-free. So for anyone who does take Midol, please double check that it is gluten free.

God bless,

Mariann

I will list some symptoms of parasitic infection:

Chronic fatigue

Swollen joints

increased appetite after meals

nervous or irritable

bruxism(teeth grinding)

dark circles under eyes

hair loss

night sweats

blurry, unclear vision

foggy brain

constipation

abdominal or liver cramps

crusted mucus in nose

rectal itching

bowel urgency

malabsorption

How do you get them?

swimming in creeks, lakes, streams

eating sushi

allowing pets to lick your face

travel in third world countries

eating out at restaurants

kissing

drinking from water fountains

I encourage you all to check out Biohealth Diagnostics since they specialize in gluten/celiac cases. Dr. William Timmins is the worlds leading authority on gluten related illnesses. If you check the site out, listen to the radio programs on the main page. There are two one-hour specials on gluten intolerance..Take a listen, very informative!!

Thomas, thanks so much for the info. I just realized I called you Richard earlier. Sorry, I have no idea where that came from. Must be the brain fogginess. I have many of those symptoms. And I eat sushi all the time. That site looks like a great resource.

thanks,

kallie

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.

      Hmm interesting I just assumed that any “IGA” tests including the DPG iga would be negative in a person who is IGA deficient but maybe that is not the case for the DPG test.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you were just diagnosed I can say that if you go 100% gluten-free should should see dramatic improvement of your symptoms over the next few months, but the hard part is to stay gluten-free. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
