Waiting For Enterolab

Hi Everyone.

I WAS logged in (I thought) as "Laferriere", but as I am machine and computer incompatible, something went VERY wrong and I haven't been able to write in for weeks! Well, now I've changed my log-in name and, hopefully, have figured this out. I thought I would post when I got the results from the Enterolab testing. I, too, have some reservations with the authenticity of Dr. Fine, but I decided to go ahead anyway. I hope to have the gene-testing and other tests back maybe next week. I have scientists in my family-Dad, Uncles, cousins- and know that peer review is essential to good science. If anyone can point the way to more info on Dr. Fine, that'd be great. Thank you all again for your posts. 3 months gluten-free and still nowhere near symptom-free. But MUCH better overall. Still trying to figure it all out. This gluten/food thing is truly an odyssey!

Thank you. I don't know what a "CV" is, but I'll try to find out. I have been to his website.

It's the abbreviation for the latin words that basically mean resume. I'd try to write out the latin words, but I'm sure I'd butcher the spelling of them!!

Don't feel stupid, until last year, I didn't know what it meant either. My results took less than two weeks.

They say they will have them back to you within three weeks...I think our was only two weeks (maybe only 1 1/2 weeks) since we got them back a week earlier than we thought we would.

I haven't gotten mine yet. :(

It's been 2 weeks tomorrow.

I'm getting impatient! I feel like the Jeopardy theme should be running in the background!

Thanks, All...yes, I am anxious just to have some more info-maybe. It will be officially 3 wks on July 26, so I guess I should just breathe. Having a very bad week this week and can't find the hidden gluten. Has anyone ever had intestinal reaction to waxed dental floss or suntan lotion?

No, have you been grilling out? I've had reactions to charcoal! Could you have a problem with dairy or soy? I was looking for the hidden gluten and discovered dairy. Keep reading and rereading all your products till you feel better. You'll keep finding stuff that has gluten.

Actually, Carla, I brought my food to my Mom's birthday barbecue, (this was Sat. the 15th) but decided to go ahead and be brave and eat a couple of roasted zucchini with salt and balsalmic vin. Things were okay that night, but not good since. Last night was THE WORST since April- just about every symptom back. Nights are the worst for me-usually after 2 AM. It's not good 'cause I never really rest! Maybe the barbecue was a bad idea, although I didn't have more than three thick slices of zuc. I am very frustrated and discouraged- I was doing a lot better. Does this happen?

Sounds normal. I've been gluten-free for seven months and just got glutened last Friday. My brain-fog let up enough today to do some filing and balance the checkbook, but my energy certainly isn't where it could be.

Be sure to read balsamic vinegar's label. I believe that some of it might have flavorings if it's not real balsamic ... someone correct me if I'm wrong. Also, balsmaic vinagraitte dressing often has soy sauce in it (I read several recipes for it on the internet and discovered this).

Don't get discouraged. It will happen less often as you go on.

Shoot - I get balsamic vinagarette all the time. Maybe this is why I've been feeling yucky recently... Thanks for posting.

I also heard somewhere that some charcoals are made from partical-board type woods, which contain glue, which in turn can contain gluten... I always use foil when BBQing. My mum says that some charcoals will say on the package if it's made from "pure" wood or not, but I haven't actually checked this out myself.

Thanks, Carla- I know from reading this board that all of you seem to have ups and downs- I guess it's the going right back to the beginning that scares me. AND when I can't be sure of the source. I knew the basalmic was iffy and my sister had it in a container, not the original jar, so... I'm trying not to get depressed again. Thank you for your encouragment.

Natural charcoal is okay and not hard to find. It's actually easier to light, but doesn't burn as long, so be ready when you light it!

Newmans Own Balsamic Vinagrette is gluten-free and Dairy Free. It is good and should be widely available.

Carla and all,

Thank you again for your posts. I did just get the Enterolab results and while I don't have the two celiac genes- Yay!- I have two genes predisposing to gluten sensitivity and apparently the Antigliadin shows I'm still reacting to gluten as of two weeks ago! So I guess I haven't found all the places it's hiding. They say because I got one gene from each parent so I gave one to all (both) my kids. So I guess they'll know and I'll know to pay attention to that. Yesterday I cut out a few more things- a ginger spice that I can't get confirmation of gluten-free and some candied ginger (my only sweet!) It was a better day but I'm very hungry and I can't afford to lose any weight. Carla, I've seen you post that Ruffles potato chips are okay. I stopped Cape Cod because I realized they have corn oil and I'm not eating corn. I'm scared to try anything new right now- particularly processed food of which I eat almost none except the chips and my rice cereal. I'm going on... Take care all and good health to all!

lisa

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.
