My chiro is the one who was the first to tell me about being gluten free. For that I am eternally grateful. I saw him tonight and was talking about this past weekend and the screw up with gluten. He told me he wants me to do this green tea fast for two days followed by 3 days of a shake while slowly reintroducing foods. He wonders if I have other food issues.

Is this necessary? I really don't have the money for the program.. will cost over a hundred dollars and since I just did the enterolab I can't afford it...

Just want your opinions... thank you.

it sounds like a cash-grab to me.

Please save your money. If you are sick because of gluten, it will run it's course.

It's not often that we hear about a Chiroprator diagnosing people, but if the diet is helping you, great. But, are other food intolerances his line of expertise? :)

And yes he is a nutritionist as well, certified...but still...I don't know.

This just sounds so amazingly bogus to me. If you want to check for other food intolerances, switch to white rice and baked chicken with no oil or seasonings and add back foods at one/week. Keep a diary of any symptoms. If something shows up that you think may be food related, stop the newest food and see if it goes away, if it does, add back the food and see if the symptom returns. Keep going until you've made notes on all the food you normally eat.

You'll save boatloads of money, and won't be drinking weird shakes which could be full of other things you're intolerant to.

Definitely a cash grab...and it is completely unnecessary. Like Lisa said, if you got sick from gluten, it will run its course. There's no use in wasting your money. I can't stand these health care "professionals" who prey on sick people just to make a buck. It is so sleazy.

It was so hard for me to see through it because I am thankful to him for finding this in the first place. It has been ten years of countless drs and bills..so there was a measure of trust...my primary dr didn't believe it...so when he mentioned this I guess I knew deep down it sounded off... but then again I thought the gluten sounded off...

thanks you guys.. I will just keep my own journal..and remember that this will take time..I felt so good after the first week that I was surprised at the fall...

      Other symptoms that Celiac Disease can cause but resemble other diseases so the cause may be misdiagnosed. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
