it always annoys me that they can say "eliminate five things from your diet, and you're nutritionally unbalanced" - ONLY when it comes gluten and dairy. :angry:

All things considered, this is a great article. But I agree with Tiffany, that it is ridiculous that they call a diet without gluten or dairy products unbalanced. NOBODY needs either of those to be healthy. In fact, I don't believe those are really healthy for anybody.

This is a great article and the more articles about the benefits, the better.

However, they make it seem more restrictive than it is, I think. They mention that they can't buy "citrus, apples, potatoes, avocados, peppers or tomatoes" implying that is part of the gluten-free/CF diet and they say they need "special shampoo and deodorant". I don't call my Dove products special. :rolleyes:

I have included some links about the diet and autis. There was aremarkable differecne with kathryn after going gluten free - energetci, interactive, smiling, social skills improved, ability to focus etc. The GI doc asked the teachers to write down their observations in the classroom, becasue he wants to build a file showing that this diet may help those affected by autism.

au contraire, celiacgirls... my dove products are special ... anything that can make this fine, fine hair have any sort of volume deserves that category!!!

It really makes your hair have volume? Which one do you use? I use the one for blond highlighted hair and it makes my fine hair so soft and silky it won't do anything. The hairdresser couldn't even keep it clipped up! My hair feels good but it just lays there limply!

All of the hairdressers that I have told I use Dove shampoo actually think that is a good one "if you have to buy from the grocery store."

i use the colour-treated fine hair one... i was excited they had the duo - i was always buying the 'for fine hair', then thought about the colour treated, and then they came out with one for both. silky, smooth, and a little more volume-y than normal.

      No, I've not been diagnosed as celiac.  Despite Entero Labs being relocated to Switzerland/Greece, I'll be doing another test. After eating wheat products in Greece for 4 weeks, there wasn't any reaction.  However, avoiding it here in the states.   Thanks everyone for your responses.

      Thank you @JulieRe so much for sharing this extra information. I'm so glad to hear you're feeling better and I hope it keeps moving in that direction. I feel I'm having so many lightbulb moments on this forum just interacting with others who have this condition. I also was diagnosed with gastric reflux maybe about 10 years ago. I was prescribed ranitidine for it several years back, which was working to reduce my gastric reflux symptoms but then the FDA took ranitidine off the shelves so I stopped taking it. I had a lot of ups and downs healthwise in and around that time (I suddenly gained 20 pounds, blood pressure went up, depression got worse, and I was diagnosed with OSA). At the time I attributed my change in symptoms to me taking on a new stressful job and didn't think much else about it. They did give me a replacement gastric reflux drug since ranitidine was off the shelves, but when I went on the CPAP for my OSA, the CPAP seemed to correct the gastric reflux problem so I haven't been on any gastric reflux drug treatment for years although I still do have to use a CPAP for my OSA. Anyway that's a long story but just to say… I always feel like I've had a sensitive stomach and had migraines my whole life (which I'm now attributing to having celiac and not knowing it) but I feel my health took a turn for much worse around 2019-2020 (and this decline started before I caught covid for the first time). So I am now wondering based on what you said, if that ranitidine i took could have contributed to the yeast overgrowth, and that the problem has just been worsening ever since. I have distinctly felt that I am dealing with something more than just stress and battling a more fundamental disease process here. I've basically been in and out of different doctor specialties for the past 5 years trying to figure out what's wrong with me. Finally being diagnosed with celiac one year ago, I thought I finally had THE answer but now as I'm still sick, I think it's one of a few answers and that maybe yeast overgrowth is another answer. For me as well, my vitamin deficiencies have persisted even after I went gluten-free (and my TTG antibody levels came down to measurably below the detectable limit on my last blood test). So this issue of not absorbing vitamins well is also something our cases have in common. I'm now working with a nutritionist and taking lots of vitamins and supplements to try and remedy that issue. I hope that you continue to see improvements in working with your naturopath on this. Keep us posted!

      Hello everyone. I am Elena and am 38 years old. I suspect I have a gluten intolerance even if my celiac panel is ok. I have the following symptoms : facial flushing, Red dots not bumps în face, bloating abdominal distension, hair loss, depression anxiety even with meds and even bipolar. Fatigue extreme to the point of not being able to work. All of these after I eat gluten. Could I have non celiac gluten sensitivity? Thanks anyone else with these symptoms?

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!
