At the most it could relieve the symptoms, but not cure. I'm sure the celiac disease will still be damaging the intestines.

Fascinating. I'm sure they don't mean "cure" but rather "treatment" for symptoms. It seems to aid in digestion, especially of fats, which celiacs do have trouble with. I might just try sprinkling some on my cereal tomorrow :)

I LOVE cardamom and since I stopped eating Indian food and spiced breads, haven't figured out what to put it in....

You can still use it in lassis - also I made coconut jasmine rice recently - jasmine rice with coconut milk and turmeric, and I put cardamon in it, too. It was great!

It's not that I thougth it was actually a "cure"....it's more that I saw it listed as an actual * cure *. Once I saw that, I typed it in and googled it and it came up countless times as a CURE. :o Shocking. I'd never seen that before and was surprised it could be stated so matter of factly that it is a "cure".

I didn't figure that you actually believed it's a cure. It is amazing they could just baldly say that.

Yes, I figured you were experienced enough to know it wasn't a "cure" ;-)

And Stephanie, oh it makes me so sad, but coconut milk seems to be too rich for me to digest right now :( It's sounds soooooo yummy.

how about coconut extract? You could get the taste, but not the consistancy.

Some time ago, before I knew I had a problem with gluten, I took a digestive tonic that had cardamom in it and it seemed really helpful--but it was in a grain alcohol extract. I wouldn't dare take it now, but cardamom sprinkled on food sounds good--I'd be careful of sprinkling it on cereal though. Wonder what kind of cereal those kids are eating?

Speaking of the chinese--it is the chinese who used the cardamom for celiac--I've read that traditional chinese doctors take a very different approach to gluten intolerance than we do--and they often use wheat and/or barley as a cure for those who have digestive problems, so beware of chinese herbal remedies uless you know all the ingredients firsthand.

The acupuncturist I see told me to drink fennel seed tea to help with digestion. It really does seem to help.

I love cardamom (as did my mom, she used it in alot of baking). I use it as I would cinnamon or ginger (ie sweet spices) I love it in custards and rice pudding. I drink ginger tea, I wonder what a sprinkle of ground cardamom would add. mmmmm think I'll have to try it.

I was glutened last week, and thought I'd try if cardamom really helps. So I've been adding some to my tea ever since. It does make for a delicious tea, mmm. :P

I think it actually calmed my tummy a little bit. I had less nausea and cramps than usual. I'm going to try it again the inevitable next time...

      confirmed via biopsy, quite depressed

      i am australian. we do have plenty of substitutes, but most are very expensive compared to the originals. i believe i'll just stick to home cooked meals and not have many treats at all. it's sad but it's just so much easier. also, ive heard far too many horror stories of people ordering gluten free food from restaurants and cafés, explicitly telling servers and kitchen staff that cross contamination is a strict no go, and they still get very sick. until i find a reasonably priced fully gluten free kitchen somewhere, i am not eating out for my safety and sanity.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By The Logician · Posted

      To Trent’s, yes, from what i’ve read it is not uncommon for digestive systems to become less tolerant to gluten over time. Many types of sensitivity or allergies arise in older people who never had a problem. I don’t see why you are focusing on anything but the fact that after years of my sensitivity to gluten, for whatever reason , it has disappeared after a bout of antibiotics. What i’ve read is antibiotics can make gluten sensitivity worse. In any event, in my case, if I can still eat all the wheat products I want with no reaction after a month or more since my hospital stay this is something that should be investigated. Time will tell.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By The Logician · Posted

      I had a UTI, blood cultures are standard to insure that the infection does not get in the bloodstream which can lead to sepsis and death. In my case there was bacteria in my blood which necessitated 48 hours of antibiotic IV

      Finally got in to doctor to get my referral and I lucked out and got into Gastro the same day - question about different transglutaminase results

      Hi Cameo674. just read your post. Well wishes to a correct diagnosis so that you can get on track to healing and feeling better. Personally I know it’s good to have the eosinophilic disorder ruled out too, as this can show anti-ttg igA antibodies too. But usually without the anti-gliadin antibodies unless gliadin is an allergen for you. Thanks for posting the link to look up SNPs rs… numbers on another post. Was useful. Looking at your result, ”Celiac Associated HLD-DQ Typing: DQA1* Value: 05; DQA1*DQA11 Value: 05; DQB1* Value: 02; DQB1-DQB11 Value: 02; Celiac Gene Pairs Present Value: Yes; Celiac HLA Interpretation Value: These genes are permissive for celiac disease.  However, these genes can also be present in the normal population. Testing performed by SSOP.  So google failed me.  I think these results basically say I have genes, but everybody has these genes so this test was just to confirm that there is a vague possibility?  Maybe this test result explains why I do not have the horrible symptoms most individuals with celiac have?  I told the GI my assumption is that I am just gluten intolerant since I do not have the pain? So maybe this test explains why I have antibodies?” To me it reads.that you carry the high risk HLADQ2.5 haplotype.
