Ran Across This

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.

      Bread has about 8 g of protein per 100 g, so a piece of bread weighing 125 mg contains 10 mg of gluten. Bread has a density of about 0.25 g/ml, so 0.5 ml of bread contains 10 mg of gluten - i.e. a bread ball 1 cm in diameter. I think it would be unlikely to ingest this much from throwing bread out for the birds.

      Sciatica came to mind for me as well. You might want to get some imaging done on your C-spine.

      Maybe this is sciatica? When mine acts up a little, I switch my wallet from one back pocket to the other. this isn't a substitute for more serious medical help, but for me it's a bandaid.

      OK so I just learned something completely new about this for the first time in years, that is REALLY WEIRD. One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the hell. I've never seen a direct trigger such as this before that I can recall. The pain was the usual type I get from this problem - I suspect somehow the head movement was interrupting descending inhibition processes, causing the pain to leak through somehow.

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped baby spinach or celery leaves to add a dash of green color to this red dish. Best eaten in first couple days because flavor tends to fade. Leftovers are still good, but not as vibrant. Ingredients 2 medium eggplants, partially peeled and cut into cubes (original recipe says 1 in, but I prefer 1/2 to 3/4 in) 2 tomatoes, peeled and crushed 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped or minced 1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons spicy harissa (I use Mina brand) 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon paprika ½ teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional) Salt to taste Preparation     • Heat olive oil in skillet or pot over medium heat. Add all ingredients and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover and cook on low heat for an additional 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.       • Serve warm or cold as a side or with bread for dipping. Enjoy!
