I just read about this the other day. Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Technique (NAET) It is supposed to get rid of your allergies. I know celiac is not an allergy but I was looking around on line and some people say it has cured them of celiac. There is a dr. in my chiropracters office that does this. I might ask her next time I go in.

I was just wondering if anyone here has tried it and if so what did they do and did it work?

Celiac Disease is a genetic auto-immune disorder and cannot be cured. Anyone who says it can be is wrong. I know people who have used this technique to help with certain allergies (to wood and such) and it worked but allergies are very different from Celiac Disease.

I did a partial thing with this. It takes several visits to do the complete run of it. I ended up not being able to finish due to a change in job circumstances, but I got about a third of the way through it. Honestly, I haven't had much of a problem with nasal allergies since then, and that was about 6 years ago. But you're right. Celiac is genetic and not an allergy. BUT, from what I understand, people with celiac sometimes have other food allergies; even wheat allergies on top of celiac, so it's something to keep in mind for any allergies you may be faced with. And who knows, there's the possibility that it could "take the edge off" celiac symptoms, but your immune system would still be attacking your intestines if you ate gluten, even if your symptoms improved. So the people who think they've been cured, if they truly have celiac, are, unfortunately, probably doing themselves a lot of harm that they just can't feel right now. It would be interesting to see if their blood work or biopsies have shown improvement though.

NAET will do nothing for celiac and in fact probably does nothing for anybody.

NAET Did wonders for my allergies ... but beware the doctor that tells you that you can have gluten after treatments :o The doctor that treated me in Calgary has Celiac in his family and said with absolute certainty that you can NEVER have gluten again.

I was treated for several food allergies and a nickel allergy and I can wear nickel now without ever getting a rash!

Celiac disease is biochemically a different type of process than an allergy. While I won't debate the validity of NAET for typical (IgE) allergies, it will not change the expression of your genes.

I guess I must throw in my two cents worth on NAET.I did go through the series of NAET treatments and found myself felling better , I traveled over 1 1/2 hours to get to a tester.Then after a time lapse I found a Bio-Set naturpath closer and this is done by computer and a bit more reliable. I've been told for years I have fibromyglia, arthitris, from there it went down hill to MS to Lou Gerhigs disease. At this point I was told expect about 3 to 5 years of life. At this point I tried every kind of therapy I could think of.

I first had tons of testing completed, from there I went on thryoid meds , put on this by an allergy Doctor who does conventional and non-conventional treatments. My thyroid tested at 3.5 which is supposed to be the norm, and it might be for some.But this doctor had me take my pulse and temp every morning before getting out of bed for one month. MY pulse would be in the high 50's or the low 60's and my temp was always around 89 - 93. once on the thyroid med I started to have energy . I then began the next step to reduce all other things that seemed to burden my system through BIo-Set. I can honestly say it's been 31/2 years and my pain is 80% gone and I can enjoy my life. No it has not helped with my gluten allergy but I feel most people with celiac also have other allergies. I do not know of one person who only has celiac's. In treating other alergies one feels better even though they still have the gluten allergy.

I for one swear by Bio-set .... It gave me a life back.......

thanks for reading.

Also I think one must find a really qualified doc in this because that is why folks think it's a scam......

I tried NAET... I thought it was a waste of time, money and a bunch of hooey.

My NAET treatments consisted of a combination of accupuncture, heat pads and relaxation techniques. Although a couple of my allergies were not cleared up, for the most part I can eat almost anything except gluten and I can now wear watches etc. containing nickel. The allergies that didn't clear up completely were dust, perfumes and pollens. I believe that happened because you have to completely avoid what ever you are allergic to for a full 25 hours after treatment. And as we were staying in a hotel, it's impossible to avoid those things. I did have my cat allergy cleared up too, which makes things nice when visiting with people who own cats.

Before the treatments I was down to eating fruit, veggies and some bare meats, no spices, dairy, corn, or rice.

I believe you really have to be pickey about finding a doctor and making sure they are Celiac educated. One I went to tried to convince me that I could eat Spelt even without the treatments and could eat anything after. I didn't go back after the "get to know you" first visit.

I found the treatments were very pleasant and came out of each one relaxed and feeling good about myself. To me, it's worth a try ..At the worse, it won't work, but you'll have some good 'spa' treatments. At best it will and you will be able to reintroduce some foods into your diet ... That doesn't mean you can go out and have a quart of milk the next day after the dairy treatment, but you can certainly have a small glass, after you 25 hours are up.

wow it sounds neat if it could really work. My mom has a ton of allergies it would be awesome for her!

I wonder if it works for people with really bad allergies. My husband is fatally allergic to peanuts. Even if he couldn't ever eat a peanut maybe it would give him more time to get to the hopital or something like that if he accidentaly ate one.

My prayer is that one day we will find a cure for Celiac. :rolleyes:

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      Yes, you are right. Indeed, I’ve been feeling anemic since the beginning of this week, and today I felt horrible during a lecture at the university, I was trembling a lot and felt all my body incredibly heavy, so I had to come back home. I’ll do a blood test tomorrow, but I’m just worried about the possibility of it coming back negative. I’ve been eating two cookies in the morning as my only source of gluten over the past two weeks—could that affect the final result?

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By Judy M · Posted

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Patiently Waiting to See Results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.
