A Beautiful Truth

Hey all, I watched simply one of the most amazing movies last night. It was called THE BEAUTIFUL TRUTH. It explains the injustice of our food and drug administration and talks about DR. MAX GERSON who cured many many diseases through the implimentation of proper foods. One such food that was never talked about being good was WHEAT. I finished the movie and couldnt help but actually feel like my Celiacs was a blessing in disguise. We simply cannot eat most processed crap because most of it contains gluten. Human beings were not actually meant to eat mass quantities of anything processed, if at all. In in response nature has created man new diseases one of which is CELIACS DISEASE. We arent the victims here, everybody else is.

Here are some links that you may want to read about.

and P.S.- After Dr. Gerson published his book on curing cancer by food implementation, he was poised with Arsenic and died. Nice eh?

Celiac is not a new disease. It is believed to be described in the Bible as the wasting disease. During the food shortages of World War Two, children starving in Belgium who actually had Celiac Disease health improved. It was the groundbreaking proof of the gluten free diet as the cure for Celiacs.

I could not agree more.

And thank you so much for suggesting this documentary. I went and watched it just now and it was incredibly moving. Brought me to tears a couple of times. There are some other ones on Netflix that are similar and I would recommend: "Food, Inc." and "Food Matters." I think EVERYONE should watch them, even those who are healthy in every way. They are about our world and how we are shaping it.

I have Super Size Me on netflix right now in the background while I'm cleaning (and taking computer break)...and it's making me thank God that I cannot eat that stuff. I"m going to check that documentary. Very interesting point.

      Joint swelling when ill even on gluten-free diet

      By Moodiefoodie · Posted

      Wow! Fascinating info. Thanks so much! I really appreciate the guidance. @Spacepanther Over the years I have had rheumatologists do full lab work ups on me. They told me they had screened me for arthritis, lupus, and Lyme disease (all negative). In addition to joint pain and stiffness I had swelling in both knees that later moved to my elbow as well.  I also experience stiffness and pain in my neck and shoulders when it flares. I vomited fairly often growing up, but there wasn’t a real pattern to it and I didn’t know it wasn’t normal (thought people caught stomach viruses often).  I don’t usually have stomach symptoms immediately after eating gluten that I notice.  The only other joint condition I know of is fibromyalgia. Good luck! Hope you can get it figured out. I only assumed my joint symptoms were due to the celiac’s because it is under control for the most part on a gluten-free diet.  The rheumatologist also mentioned that some inflammatory/autoimmune diseases can be slow-moving and not detectable until they progress.

      @Spacepanther, I found these articles about the connection between Celiac and joint pain. Musculoskeletal Complications of Celiac Disease: A Case-Based Review https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10201087/ And   Intestinal microbiome composition and its relation to joint pain and inflammation https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6814863/ And The gut microbiome-joint connection: implications in osteoarthritis https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6903327/ Sounds like it's time to change the diet to change the microbiome.

      Still testing positive after being gluten free for one year ?!!

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Shireen32,  Take some deep breaths.  Your labs are fine!  Your tTg IgA is so low!  Well done!  Your endomysial IgA is fine.  There's not a level on the endomysial test.  It's just "yes or no" for if you have celiac disease.   No, it's too early to call it refractory. What are you eating?  Please tell us more than meat and veg. Do you consume dairy? Do you consume processed gluten free foods?   Are you taking any prescription medications, herbal supplements, vitamins and minerals?

      thank you knitty kitty I don't have a vitamin deficiency and I supplement omegas.  Are there other more mild symptoms that co-occur with your joint pain as well @Moodiefoodie? I am suspicious my own joint pain could be related to another autoimmune issue. I am wondering if it is Crohn's or something similar because I've continued to experience some issues despite having normal celiac antibody levels. What have you considered?
