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...

      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.

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!
