Rachel.

I started to work on something more private a couple of days ago. But then i had some other issues in my life that i had to work on, but now im going to go work on that project again lol.

I know for me, if i cant share stuff, i will explode. even yesterday something was going on with my life and i was like ughh what rachel recommend or april or everyone else in this thread. But of course the board was down, so i couldnt even post it if wanted to lol.

paula

Paula...I felt the same way! I do need to share stuff and bounce it off of others....or just put it out there. Also, when I write about things it "sticks" with me.....so I'm actually able to retain alot of the scientificness much better if I've understood enough that I can write it out. If I write it down....I'm more likely to remember it.

I have a new focus....actually its an older focus (as in over 2,000 pages ago) that is now better understood. Its something for me to start on right now....before I get my genetic test results back. I also got my test results back from France. Anyone remember the urine I shipped off awhile back?? I had totally forgot about it!! :blink:

I was really wanting to write out my thoughts!!

Anyways, thanks for setting something up Paula! :)

I think it will be good for everyone. Right now I'm feeling as if I want the exact opposite of what I've been doing.....so a big change from putting it all out there for the whole world...to just sharing with a very small group that I know I can trust. It feels good to me. :)

I have to write things down to, i think it has to do with my photegenic memory. Of course it isnt as good as it was years ago. In college, i would be taking an test and i would be like hey the answer is on page ? and on the left or right side and id see the answer in my head. I can still do that from time to time but i need more time doing it lol.

Paula, I know exactly what you mean about the photogenic memory. I've read so many websites over the last few years but when I'm looking for certain info. I can picture the info....where it was written on the page and what the page looked like. That helps me find the page amongst hundreds of bookmarked sites. I can just "see" it in my mind. :)

Good thing for that or I'd never find anything!

Hello. :)

About three weeks ago I started the SCD, I am having real success with it.

The reason I started was that a friend, recently diagnosed with a wheat allergy, asked me for some recipes and I went to town with my amaranth, rice, tapioca, etc. flours and baked up all sorts of goodies, then I ate all sort of goodies :lol: Not really, but I did eat some every day for that week and by the end of it I felt like I was way back in my illness, it was really obvious that it was the grain, grain of any kind.

I knew that I just didn't want to know that.

At that point I had to admit that every time I felt better in the past three years it was when I grains free but I was also confused because sometimes I would feel bad but I hadn't eaten grains at all. :huh: Now I see a connection with the bananas I would eat, bananas that were still very starchy.

I could cry now just out of gratitude to have found this diet, I can eat again and enjoy eating, I have made bread that is not only edible but delicious, Sandwiches! Home made goat yogurt cream cheese with tomatoes and avocados..... and you can make yogurt with heavy cream so that you can whip it just like whip cream except it will have tartness to it.

So yesterday I went and bought the second Grain Free Gourmet cookbook by Jenny and Jodi and I am reading along and I read that the basics of the SCD were used in the early part of the twentieth century to treat celiac. Dr.Haas developed the Original SCD and over 98% of the children treated by him for celiac (561) showed a positive response and many recovered, as in they went on to eat wheat.

In the early 1950's a theory was proposed, based on the flour shortages of the second world war and improvements seen in those with celiac, that gluten and only gluten was the culprit and from that point on the medical profession embraced that theory. What this means is that people get better but don't completely heal and so are always vulnerable to relapses.

There is lots more but I trust if you find this interesting you will investigate yourself.

I have known most of my life that wheat was just not good for me and I am not looking for a way to live that includes it but I realize now that I am no longer willing to accept the conventional view of celiac.

I am going to recover. B)

:wub:

Well, I just read back and gather that everyone has departed, :huh::lol:

Perhaps it is only natural that this thread winds down, perhaps for a while, perhaps for longer, certainly I haven't been here to do my part. :ph34r:

I am so grateful, I don't know if you really understand how deeply I feel you have been part of my healing and I am healing. We made a circle here and the love, humor and support we have shared has been a blessing.

Thanks to all but most especially to you Rachel, there never would have been a Rachelville without you!!!

:wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub:

Rachel, thanks so much all the info about B12, vit. absorption, mercury/MCT has been very informative & helpful.

Also thanks all for info leading to understanding that grains are a major problem for me.

Thank So Much!!!!

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Body dysmorphia experience

      Heat intolerant... Yikes

      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium. Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend...

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.

      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
