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.

      Is it gluten?

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      By Seaperky · Posted

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
