Also can someone be allergic to wheat and not gluten ??? i thought all wheat products are gluten and if you have gluten intorence are you coeliac disease??? as i understand gluten intorence and coeliac disease is the same thing ?? Meaning gluten is destroying you gut lining so does this make it the same thing please help me out ??? is this right???

Welcome aboard!

I know nothing about bio meridians--sorry!

But you CAN be diagnosed with wheat or gluten intolerance via a combo of symptoms and relief from those symptoms when on a gluten-free diet or a wheat-free diet, depending on whether your symptoms are caused by gluten (the protein in wheat AND in rye and barley) or just by wheat alone.

Why don't you tell us what kind of symptoms you've been experiencing that led your practitioner to suspect wheat in the first place? (Remembering, of course, that we are not doctors, and that this should not substitute for advice from your own doctor--this is just a way for you to gain knowledge, okay?)

Do note, that if celiac disease is a possibility for you, you might want to continue to eat wheat long enough to have a blood test, to see if you are producing antibodies to gluten.

Hi

I believed you are speaking of Naet or Bio-set when you mention Bio-Meridian. I have done this & use that method today as a means of releasing other allergrens from the body. I have always said that the practitioner must be excellent....

It appears you are not sure of the results so I would suggest you have the bloodwork done & go from there. If you have celiac, an autoimmune disease you must follow a gluten-free lifestyle strictly.There is no cure at this time --- only the diet.

Your practitioner can not make this curable. And if that is even suggested I would leave that practice. When I first started with alternative methods that was the first thing out of my practitioners mouth.... I can not cure or fix any autoimmune disorder.... I can help with allergies....

good luck

Please go to a regular M.D. for a dx. Complimentary medicine is that.....it complements traditional medical care. The term "alternative" medicine should be used when "traditional" has failed or is not satisfactory.

To use "alternative" such as Bio-Meridian in place of good medical care is dangerous. If you have Celiac, you need to know for sure.

I have practiced alternative medicine myself, I am a Dr. of Holistic Nutrition. But I would never consult with you until you have been to an M.D. first. And you bring your lab work along so I can see if you have clinical deficiencies.

GO TO AN M.D. and get a FULL CELIAC PANEL.

Then go to an allergist and see if you have an allergy to wheat.

After that, if you have CELIAC, you will need to be gluten-free for life. There is no cure. If you have wheat allergy, then you can go to your acupuncturist/chiropractor and try some alternative therapy.

CELIAC is a serious disease.

I just want to clarify two things that confused me for a while...

1) Wheat does have gluten. So do lots of other grains. You can have an allergy to wheat without having a gluten intolerance. Or you could have both. Allergies are IgE reactions. An allergist can do a skin test if you think you have problems with allergies (hives, breathing problems, etc... that occur within the first few minutes or hours after eating something you're allergic to). Blood tests are needed for food intolerances. A blood test is a VERY good place to start if you think you might have celiac disease. If you stop eating gluten before the blood test you'll never get an accurate result.

2) Dairy products have lactose and casein. Lactose is hard for a lot of people to digest (causes bloating and gas), but you can buy milk without lactose. Cheese and yogurt don't have much lactose, so even if you can't tolerate milk you might be able to eat those foods. Casein in the protein in daily products. If you have an allergy or intolerance to casein you can't have any dairy products. Casein is in ALL cow's milk products.

Do you know which part of milk can cause acne in some people, the casein or the lactose?

[Mother of Jibril]

If you're intolerant to cow's milk then casein is the culprit. The reaction damages your intestines and reduces your abilty to produce lactase (the enzyme needed to digest lactose)... so it's a double whammy! When you're lactose intolerant... which is MUCH more common... your body isn't producing enough lactase, but that's typical when you're past the age of breastfeeding.

I have read a few things indicating that acne is connected to casein intolerance. I had a pretty severe case of acne as a teenager... and I was drinking a LOT of milk since I grew up in Wisconsin. In fact, my acne never completely went away. It just turned into adult acne! The good news is that it has been getting better on the dairy-free, gluten-free diet

Wish I knew this stuff as a teenager
