Green Tea Fast

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.

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...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
