i found this when i was looking up info on fibromyalgia-------something to do with glyconutrients. i was thinking it might be something helpful----and then i read this.......

I was diagnosed with Celiac Sprue in Dec 1990. This condition is “incurable” and is an intolerance to wheat, oats, rye and barley (anything with gluten). I had a lot of gastric pain, often vacillating between diarrhea and constipation. When diagnosed, my hemoglobin was extremely low and so I was very anemic. I had food sensitivities to hot peppers and spicy foods of all kinds, as well as MSG. I experienced great fatigue and pain.

I began taking some products made by a company in Texas in Jan 1994. At that time they only had an endocrine support product and another product which was designed to help athletes. They later came out with a glyconutrient tablet which I also began to take. Within 8 months or so I had healed a great deal and was able to eat almost anything.

I have been in menopause for 2 years and have very little of the traditional symptoms and have not had to go on hormonal support.

Today, I eat anything that I want. I look and feel great. Many people have told me that I look younger today than I did 3 years ago. My hemoglobin that was extremely low is now getting to normal limits. An impossibility according to most physicians, especially because of my age.

i wonder if she has had any follow up blood work??!!

How was the Celiac diagnosis made? What kind of tests were done?

Sounds like a sales pitch to me!

A sales pitch based on a testimonial from someone who was originally misdiagnosed.

I agree. No one simply goes from having celiac to eating anything they want. It's a chronic, life-long illness, and her diagnosis could have only been from dietary changes--certainly 16 years ago the tests for celiac were less specific. She doesn't even name the suspect supplement.

      I wonder how many doctors are aware of this site and would or should recommend it to their patients?

      I just got my test results after a less than 2-week gluten challenge consuming about 5 g of gluten per day on average.  Anti tTG-IgA: <0.2 AU/ml (<8 is negative) IgA: 180 mg/dl (Reference range is 70-400) I previously had been on a gluten-free diet for around 3 years or so, with occasional cheating and not being strict about cross-contamination. I am however still suffering from the effects of the gluten challenge (food sensitivities, slight brain fog, weird stool, fatigue, swollen thyroid, bodyaches). Is this likely to be NCGS rather than celiac disease given the test results and my history? Note: I have one copy of HLA-DQ8.

      How long have you been strictly gluten free? Certainly, it would be good to look into vitamin and mineral deficiencies and supplementation. The B vitamins, magnesium and D3 are all very important to neurological health. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to reverse gluten-induced neurological damage damage if it has gone on for a long time.

      Thanks Trents I'm strict with my gluten-free diet now. I just don't feel any better. I'm going to get tested for vitamins and minerals to see if I need some supplements. For sure I got some damage that doctors call Menier's and the only way they treat it is with medicine that does damage my body more than it helps.

      Thank you Scott for your helpful response! Based on this, would you say someone who is on a gluten-free diet - but not strict about cross-contamination and occasional cheating - and tests negative for tTg-IgA while having normal total IgA is not likely to have celiac, even if they have been 'gluten-free' for years?
