I don't know why I can barely keep my head straight! I tend to react neurologically and gi upset so I am just trying to figure out what I ate I didn't change anything I don't normally eat.

I had these chips (Lundberg rice & bean with sea salt) and I made energ toast (bare) with a slice of tomato, a pork sausage (gluten soy nitrate msg free) and a poached egg on top with kosher salt & garlic powder.

And I am totally looped out. :ph34r: hehehe

is it a full moon?? :lol::rolleyes:

Maybe some trace glutening from the sausage? Or maybe a yeast/candida overgrowth? I personally can't have rice and beans together--too much starch. It feeds the yeast.

Though yeah we all just went through a pretty tough astrological transit I hear.

I do have candida I wonder if that wasn't the culprit. I went to bed and I am feeling better now,

thanks Sweetheart! B)

Not to mention I did not take my normal supplements & herbs last night maybe that was part of the problem ...

Hey deary,

Well, it stinks to hear that you can't keep your head on straight. Are ya stressed, tired, or any of that stuff? I blame all my dizzy issues on air polution from irrisponsible big industries and cow farts. ;) Did you know that Cow flatulance is having a negative effect on the ozone layer? (saw it on the Discovery Channel) So perhaps gluten isn't your problem at all. :P

Speaking of Lundberg rice & bean with sea salt....my hubby found the sea salt bags at our local grocery store. I'm in total heaven...

On another note, I'm going to the hospital sometime this week for a sleep study to see if I have narcolepsy. I'm not really concerned; if I have it, then I've had it for many years. So, basically I'm going to the hospital to sleep in a paper gown, in a freezing room, with wires coming off my head...while they watch me sleep, and then charge my insurance $6,000. :rolleyes:

Well take care hun, sorry to hear you feel crappy.

-Julie

Glad to be of help! I struggle with the beasties too. They can sneak up on you and give you a high like being drunk. A good clue is a ravenous appetite for guess what--starch and/or lots of fruit or sugar! Its addictive since they actually release alcohol in your blood stream. My ex used to drink bear just to catch up with me on my natural candida (or whatever) high.

Sometimes its OK to eat more of the carbs and other times it just isn't. Especially several times in a row. It helps to offset it by eating more raw veggies if you can handle it , cooked ones otherwise.

Plus consider taking some anti yeast stuff. Besides the usual probiotics, I have found oregano caps to be of help and occasionally taking barberry or golden seal root powder (barberry is more effective and cheaper). These last not more than a week at a time though and be careful since it/they can cause stomach irritation if you take too much. Dandelion root or milk thistle helps along the way just to even things out. You can also rub liquid oregano or thyme oil on your wrists etc. to help kill the beasties off. And pao de arco caps are a good staple to take every day.

I have been taking pau d-arco along with my other supplements for about 3 weeks now.. I am eating 3 a night as well as the milk thistle. I have oregano oil I tried to eat (came with a dropper) and it made me choke HAHAHA very powerful. But I will try and rub it on my wrists! cool!!! :)

MUAH!

thanks so much

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
