Hello ROCK Northern Virginia/Metro DC! I hope you can join us for the next meeting. Here are the details in this email. I am also attaching a copy of the flier as a Word doc file if you would like to print one for your fridge, share it with a friend, or post at your local health food store, doctor's office, school, hospital, or library. Any help distributing this information is greatly appreciated. Feel free to email it along to others too. You can always attend even if your RSVP is a yes, no or a maybe. The RSVP only helps me determine how to set up the room and how many chairs to have available. ~Melonie

      Inconclusive results

      By deanna1ynne · Posted

      Thank you both very much. I’m pretty familiar with the various tests, and my older two girls with official dxs have even participated in research on other tests as well. I just felt overwhelmed and shocked that these recent results (which I found pretty dang conclusive after having scott clean labs just six months ago) would still be considered inconclusive. Doc said we could biopsy in another six weeks because my daughter was actually way more upset than I anticipated about the idea of eating it for years before doing another biopsy. It doesn’t hurt her, but she’s afraid of how it may be hurting her in ways she can’t feel. She’s currently eating mini wheats for breakfast, a sandwich with lunch, and a side of pasta along with every dinner, so I’m hoping we’re meeting that 10g benchmark mentioned in that second article!

      Potential celiac need advice

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Have you tried a genetic test to look for Celiac genes?  No gluten challenge required.

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @ElisaAllergiesgluten, Have you tried going on a low histamine Paleo diet like the Autoimmune Protocol diet?  A low histamine AIP diet would help your body rid itself of the extra histamine it's making in response to allergies.  Are you Celiac as well?   Since we need more thiamine when we're stressed, adding Benfotiamine, a form of Thiamine Vitamin B 1, can help the body calm down it's release of histamine.  Benfotiamine improves Sailors' asthma.

      Toothpaste question.

      By RDLiberty · Posted

      So, I've been using a gluten free labeled toothpaste since being diagnosed with celiac. No big deal, the toothpaste seems to work. Question is, I just realized it contains hydrated silica.  Now, I've heard that silicon dioxide can cause issues in some people with celiac (was that ever confirmed though?), so to be safe, I cut it out of my diet entirely. But, as I understand it, hydrated silica is related to silicon dioxide. Is that something to worry about, or is the hydrated form not known to cause issues like the silicon dioxide form?  I've never seen it in food, but nearly every toothpaste I look at contains hydrated silica?  Issue or not?  Any scientific research (Not opinion pieces, not health bloggers, you get my gist), but actual science, that says it's an issue? I have a hard time believing 99% of what I read on random internet searches.    Thanks so much, Renee.
