Any Experience With Ultra Clear Plus "medical Food Product"?

Hi - I'm wondering if anyone has any experience (or info) about a medical "food product" called Ultra Clear Plus. My allergy doctor has offered it (in combination with a rotation/elimination diet) as an option to help with my growing food sensitivities and related symptoms. It's supposed to help with detoxification and healing.

I'm willing to try it, but haven't found much info online about it one way or the other. The doctor I see belongs to a reputable practice that specializes in allergies, diet and chronic/autoimmune diseases, and so on. They use a blend of traditional and "alternative" approaches, and I'm inclined to trust them on this, but would feel better if I had more information from medical sources and/or people who've been through this before.

Any thoughts much appreciated!

A little more about my situation: was dx with Celiac about 6 months ago (symptoms were primarily neurological rather than digestive). At the same time was dx with subclinical Hashimoto's, but the endocrinologist said that the TSH (2-3 range) didn't warrant treatment. Have been gluten free since then, and many/most symptoms have resolved. But since going gluten-free I've developed a growing list of food sensitivities and intolerances, including dairy, egg, nightshades, garlic, and fermented foods (vinegar, wine, etc.). I've been tired and have had some joint and muscle pain, skin has continued to thin, etc, etc. Allergy doc ordered more bloodwork including another TSH.

Sorry I 'm short on time to look up the product you mentioned.

Hashimoto's take some time to completely destroy the thyroid. Your symptoms are consistant with Hashi's, and it probably is just a matter of time before you will be put on medication. (the rest of your life maintenence drug)

Thanks for the reply. :) Bloodwork came back showing strong sensitivity to eggs and dairy, so have eliminated those completely. I did some additional research on the UltraClear Plus and it looks ok, but the doc said I could just see how things go with eliminating those and the many, many other foods I know are a problem (vinegar, garlic, citrus, chocolate, etc, etc). TSH was 2.5 -- I know the norm is more like 1-2, but I don't feel like fighting with the doctors right now, so will wait a bit and see what happens with the modified diet and then maybe get another TSH test in a month or two. It's been a year now, and although I've improved, I'm starting to wonder if I'll ever feel really well again. Grr.

      Healthy diet leading to terrible bloating

      Stegosaurus, One size doesn't fit all. Most celiacs do fine with oats and other non-gluten cereal grains. Grains can contribute important nutrients to the diet and are a relatively inexpensive food energy sources.

      Osteoporosis: Does the body start rebuilding bones after starting a gluten-free diet?

Now I know what it is I shall try to resume the healthy diet - the symptoms are annoying rather than painful, and I think it was doing me a lot of good, I certainly lost some pounds around the waistline (pity they piled back on again at Christmas!)

      Stegosaurus, One size doesn't fit all. Most celiacs do fine with oats and other non-gluten cereal grains. Grains can contribute important nutrients to the diet and are a relatively inexpensive food energy sources. I don't agree with the position that all celiacs should eliminate all grains from their diet. This line of thinking has been promoted for years by books like Dangerous Grains which make the case on logic rather than actual real world data. Like many biological phenomenon, what would seem to be logical doesn't pan out to be true in the real world.  But if you are one of those in the minority of celiacs who cannot tolerate cereal grains at all, I'm glad that you were able to sort that out.
