I have had Celiac Spru for about 5 or 6 years. Along with a few other things. I am 51 years old. I go up and down from a 140lbs to 110lbs all the time. I am sick constantly. I dont know why but I can not seem to get anything under controll. Recently I heard about Allegenix. It is done by this chyroprator out here in Utah that we know and mayber alot other dr.s I dont know. What I need to know is Has ANYONE HEARD OF IT AND DOES IT WORK? I keep thinking that if it works why are there so many of us still celiac sufferers?

Even if this did work it doesn't have anything to do with celiac disease. This treatment supposedly eliminates allergies. Celiac disease is not an allergy.

Yes it is we are alergic to the gluten.

I'd be careful, BK. Maybe it'll work for allergies, but celiac and an allergy to wheat are different beasts. It sounds a bit like snake oil to me, though. (The lady saying she's been cured works for the chiropractor; she's not a neutral party.) Do some research on the internet and look for reputable medical studies on it (like from medical journals, rather than sites selling/advocating books, services, pills, etc.) If it seems to good to be true, it probably is.

Take care,

Celiac disease is not an allergy. It's an autoimmune reaction. Gluten causes your body to produce antibodies (EMA, Ttg) that destroy your intestines. It's currently the only autoimmune disorder that can be prevented or "cured" by avoiding the trigger (although your body will always be able to start producing antibodies again if you go back to eating gluten).

It is possible, however, that you also have one or more true allergies... which cause your body to produce histamines. I would make an appointment with an allergist before buying any products.

Ok you guys are really helping me now. Thankyou. Please anyone keep throwing things at me. I have had this so long I think I have gotten myself confused with all the other stuff I have too. Also I have a memory problem. I know Celiac is an autoimmune thing but it is caused from the alergy to the wheat by products isnt it? Or is is triggered by them. Oh my gosh I need to go back to studing. I have been sick for so long I am reaching for miricles I guess. I have never been able to feel good since I got this stuff. Thankyou so much for your info and patience. I am just an old lady who has been about ready to throw in the towel....

Hi BKnutson! I think a lot of people use the term allergy/intolerance loosely around here. Celiac is an autoimmune disorder that makes us intolerant of gluten.

I would think twice before doing this treatment only because you don't seem to know much about it. It may work but it may not and I'd hate to see you spend the money if it doesn't work :( See if you can find out more of it.

You have been gluten-free for awhile and are still feeling poopy (I was too). Have you tried eliminating other foods that seem to give a lot of people trouble here- like soy, dairy? Have you seen your doctor lately for a checkup?

I hope you find the answer- don't stop until you do!

Thanks Beverly,

I actualy decided I would put in a call to my Dr. and ask him about it. I mean if it is such a miricle why arent we all healed? I have not been in for a while. I am sick all the time. But I Have some other problems and lactose is one. Fybromyalgia is one. Artoritis, so I am an old lady who is a mess. But thank you. I am wondering if you are the Beverly who sent me a huge list of foods about four years ago. It was called ----- list. I cant remember. I lost it when my computer crashed.

BK

      I did suffer with gastric symptoms before diagnosis, but got all sorts of weird and wacky symptoms after going gluten free.   Things got much better once my antibodies fell to normal levels, but it took years (please don't panic, many people's go to normal levels relatively quickly when following a gluten-free diet). Causes of the symptoms you mention that I also experienced were iron supplements, a temporary dairy intolerance (this is common in coeliacs and should pass when your gut heals properly), and eating oats, as mentioned above.  Other symptoms I got were musculoskeletal pain after diagnosis, but again, once my coeliac blood tests were normal, I had no more pain. I did notice patterns emerging in foods that I reacted to and learned to steer clear of them, then gradually reintroduced them when my gut healed, such as soya, pure oats and dairy products.    You might like to keep a food diary.

      Well the conflicting results continue as the biopsy has come back negative. 😵‍💫 Waiting to discuss further but I really don’t know what to think now? Eight biopsy’s were taken from duodenum which surely should be sufficient if it was coeliac?

      I have Celiacs and want you to be aware of the amount of weight you can potentially put on if you rely on gluten free snacks, bread etc.,they  are high in carbs.  I put on 25 lbs in a short amount of time.  Whole Foods are the best way to go but I struggle with this.  The cost of gluten free is also a problem.  I love black licorice but most have gluten.  My favorite chili seasoning as well.  The list is endless.  I take  Advil liquid gels and had no idea until I read this.  I hope you do better than I have done.  I feel I am destined to suffer daily no matter what.  My aunt didn’t take care of herself and died from complications.  I hope you can get on a good routine.

      Thank you, I appreciate the response. I'm going to begin the gluten free diet and wait for the biopsy results. I feel fairly certain that it's the right thing for my well being. I will keep you posted.

      The flu vaccine is indeed not 100% effective every year, as its effectiveness varies depending on how well the vaccine strains match the circulating flu viruses. However, even in years when the match is less than perfect, the flu vaccine still provides significant benefits. Studies consistently show that vaccinated individuals who contract the flu often experience milder symptoms, a lower risk of complications, and a reduced likelihood of hospitalization or death compared to those who are unvaccinated. For high-risk groups, such as the elderly, young children, and individuals with chronic health conditions, the flu vaccine remains a critical tool for reducing severe outcomes. Regarding the mention of risks associated with vaccines, it’s important to note that the flu vaccine is generally very safe for most people. Serious side effects are extremely rare, and the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risks for the vast majority of individuals. If someone has specific concerns about vaccine safety due to medical conditions or allergies, they should consult their healthcare provider to discuss their options. As for alternative measures like a D Lamp (ultraviolet light disinfection), while these can be useful for reducing pathogens in the environment, they are not a substitute for vaccination. The flu virus spreads primarily through respiratory droplets, and personal protection measures like hand hygiene, masking, and improving indoor ventilation can complement vaccination but cannot replace its targeted immune protection.
