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.

Guest Viola

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:

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it.  Gluten is  the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part.  Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate  ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.   Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat, and bran is the protective covering of the kernel.   Little to no gluten there.   Large amounts of lectins are in wheat germ and can cause digestive upsets, but not enough Gluten to provoke antibody production in the small intestines. Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind
