I remember reading on this forum that someone was taking this. I looked it up and I want to try this drug. I can't remember who was talking about it though. Anyone have any experience with it? It sounds wonderful!

This drug is used to treat narcotics overdose. I'm not sure why it would be used for Celiac symptoms.

yeah Full Dose Naltrexone (50mg) is used as an opioid blocker, but Low Dose Naltrexone (1.5 - 4.5 mg)is used for people with autoimmune diseases.

The Whitaker Wellness Center in Newport Beach uses it to reverse or halt damage from autoimmune diseases. I know of several people who greatly benefited from it. I got a prescription but then never took it because my husband and I want to get pregnant and i don't want to be on any medication as a precaution. Also, Dr. Mercola has a lot of information about it on his site and recommends it. It's very interesting stuff and seems very worth looking into.

My brother-in-law used it for his Rheumatoid Arthritis. It worked for him.

It is prescribed for Fibromyalgia patients also. I have been trying to stay off the precriptions trying to keep my fibro and Rhumatoid arthritis under control with my gluten free diet. But I think next time I go in i'm gonna ask for it for my Chronic fatigue, I understand that it helps with that too.

I finally had to break down and get a prescription for sleeping pills, my Melatonin and 5-HTP stopped working.

I asked my gastroenterologist about it and he didn't know what I was talking about. I see my rheumatologist on Tuesday and I'm gonna ask him to put me on it. I tried a few of his drugs and they didn't help so I think it's my turn to call the shots.

You may only find that doctors who specialize in intgrative medicine are the only ones who will even know about this. The reason why is that it is not branded by any pharmaceutical companies per se. I had to get my from a compounding pharmacy.

      My chest pain has been caused by costochondritis, as well as times when iron supplements has given me such bad bloating it has put pressure on my back and chest, and reflux can do the same. Also, along the lines of Wheatwacked's suggestion above, is it possible you had an injury to your chest/ribs way back that is being set off by either some sort of gastrointestinal bloating/discomfort? I distinctly remember really hurting a rib over forty years ago when I misjudged a wall and thought it was just behind me but in fact it wasn't.  I fell badly against the wall and I think I cracked a rib then.  For some strange reason I didn't tell anyone but I think had I gone to hospital an X-ray...

      Sorry for the long post. I’m 18, and I was diagnosed with celiac disease and type 1 diabetes (T1D). My transglutaminase IgA was >128 U/mL, EMA IgA positive twice, and I’m HLA-DQ2 and DQ8 positive. I’ve been completely asymptomatic since diagnosis, even when I cheated with gluten sometimes in the past and used to eat out(2-5 years ago) I don’t get the typical celiac reactions, which makes it really hard to know when (or if) I’ve been glutened. But for the past year, I’ve been the most strict with my diet, and that’s also when a bunch of new issues started. I eat completely glutenfree, never eat out, dont eat food that says „may contain gluten“.   Current Health...

      I've been making a lot of black bean brownies lately because it's one of the few gluten free dessert recipes that actually tastes palatable.  I've also seen chocolate cake recipes with black beans.  Someone mentioned a cookie recipe using lentils in place of flour.  Just wondering if anyone's run across any tried and true recipes using beans, lentils or peas for desserts?  I've seen a lot of recipes for garbanzo flour but I'm allergic to garbanzo beans/chickpeas.  Was wondering if adzuki or pinto beans might be useful in replacing some or all of the flour in baking.  Since gluten free flours can be crumbly was hoping the beans might help produce a better, less crumbly consistency.  Any...

      I've seen a lot of recipes for chia pudding, so I decided to make some with chia, water, cocoa and honey.  Didn't like the taste, so I added ground sunflower and ground pumpkin seed to it.  It tasted okay, but came out more like frosting that pudding.  I used to make pudding with tapioca starch, milk powder, water and sugar.  It came out very good but I haven't figured out what to use to replace the milk powder to make it dairy free.  Most starches will work in place of tapioca starch but quantity varies depending on the type of starch.  If I didn't add enough starch to get a pudding consistency, I'd add gelatin as well to fix it.  Avocado and cocoa makes a good dessert with a pudding like...

      Seems like when I find a gluten free product I like, the producer stops manufacturing it and then I have trouble finding a new gluten free source for it.  What's worse, I've been contacting companies to ask if their products are gluten free and they don't even bother to respond.  So, it's making it very hard to find safe replacements.  I was buying teff flour at nuts.com and they no longer carry it.  I noticed Naturevibe has teff and soy flour.  However, I can't get a response as to whether their flours are safe for someone with celiac.  Can't get a response from Aldi if their peas are safe for someone with celiac either.  I know Bob's Red Mill has teff flour but was hoping to get a large quantity. ...
