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:

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      By Jacki Espo · Posted

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      My only proof

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
