I was wondering if anyone has taken grapefruit seed extract (gse)? I heard it is good for yeast. I have just started taking 10 drops in water three times a day. Boy is it yucky.

I have. I agree that it is so yucky! I would have to "chase" it w/ something. Ugh. I noticed some difference, but not as much as when I took Nystatin. Also, the all natural nasal spray (Nutribiotic, I think is the name) I use contains GSE and I love it!

I'm going to the gyn doctor today. I don't think I can get rid of this without something, diflucan works. The problem being is that they only prescribe you one pill. It does get rid of the immediate infection but does not do anything for whats left to rear its ugly head a few months later. I figure I need to be on something longer. I really am fortunate to only have the gluten and oats issue, so I really don't want to restrict my diet of fruit. I'm ok with giving up most refined sugar and baking with lower gi index gluten free flours. My carb consumption is way down since I'm doing the south beach diet to loose weight. Overall I do feel better. I am finaly not as hungry as when I first started around a month ago. I don't even have that feeling that I've gotta have a candy bar anymore. A little nibble here and there is all I want. I have been doing some experimenting in the kitchen with lower carb flours, truvia, and erythritol. I've made some really good things and it satifies the sweet tooth. When you took the gse did you notice if it suppressed your appetite? Maybe it's just a coincidence, but I don't feel as hungry since I started taking it. Before I really looked forward to my snack and was hungry. Now not so much.

      CT with contrast.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease.

      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.

      I was told it was to see how much damage has been caused. But just told CT with contrast not any other name for it.
