I guess this USANA company is kind of like Avon - you go to parties to buy their products. They claim to treat all kinds of stuff, including helping celiacs recover from their symptoms. Has anyone heard of this or have any info to pass along?

Thanks!

Yuyp, I'm taking them. My dad got them for after hearing how yucky I was feeling. He just ordered from their website, I think. I was getting all kinds of weird things going on with my body, and after taking them three weeks, I feel alot better. I think I'm taking the "essentials blend".

Since these were just kind of passed along to me, I don't think I've been influenced by expectations or marketing, but I really do feel better. My dad has been taking them, and he said he's noticed an improvement in his workouts.

Honestly, the least you can do is give it a shot. I've heard you are supposed to notice a difference in your health in two weeks, but I would try it a month before you switch to something else.

I am a Usana distributor so I am a bit uncomfortable about replying to your message. I don't want to sell you anything, but just explain a bit about Usana. They don't claim to cure anything. Any nutritionist will tell you that with optimal nutrition our bodies are able to resolve many ailments themselves. Usana products help people to achieve optimal nutrition.

They are sometimes sold at 'parties', but I found them on the internet. Many people are introduced to them through friends or family like Rachel was.

Rachel pretty much summed it up - give it a try - but please consult you physician if you do.

Best of health to you,

Brenda

      Other symptoms that Celiac Disease can cause but resemble other diseases so the cause may be misdiagnosed. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
