I got this book from the library. Very interesting..especially when he said that wheat raises your blood sugar faster than eating a spoonful of sugar!

The genetic modification they've done to wheat makes it such a non-healthy food I wonder why all of the nutritionists and Dr.s think it should be such a big part of a healthy diet?

A very interesting read. There are a few people in my life that I wish I could force to read this book. LOL

Thank you very much for posting this, after watching it I went on to find longer videos of a lecture by Dr. Davis (in 2 parts) in which he explains everything in more detail and I've just posted them to my FB wall and also to my sister's wall because our father was a celiac and my sister never took it seriously and fed him wheat whenever he wanted it and as a result he died a very sad death. She now has like at least 2 AI illnesses and all her children are not healthy either, one with digestive issues supposedly diagnosed as "Crohn's Disease". We all need to raise consciousness so this nonsense of GM foods stops! The moment I read years ago that today's wheat is not the wheat "of the Bible" I immediately suspected that was the reason why so many people are now having trouble with it and that video has confirmed it for me.

And, holy cow! Two slices of whole wheat bread have a higher GI index than a Snickers bar! And for years that's what I ate thinking it was "good" for me, yeah right! No wonder I've always dropped weight whenever I stopped eating that c***, even last night a male friend told me at a party "You've lost weight!" I'm not remotely on a weightloss diet, so I had not even noticed although, come think of it, I fit into some clothes I'd not worn for many months and during my last wheat indulgence back in February I quickly gained back 10-15 lbs. I'd lost last year (after I stopped eating wheat once before...). So I feel pretty encouraged thinking that this time I'll continue to lose and achieve my final goal because I "ain't" touching that stuff ever again, so help me God!

      I'm not sure if you found what other here have posted on oral thrush, but this might be helpful: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q="Oral thrush"&quick=1&updated_after=any&sortby=relevancy

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      Welcome to the forum, @JulieRe! You would do well to get checked for a candida infection of the gut. Yeast thrives on carbs so you might also look into a low carb diet. These kinds of things seem to be more common in the celiac community than in the general population. There is a growing body of evidence that the development of celiac disease is rooted in unhealthy gut biome conditions. It's good that you are getting that red spot on your tongue checked out soon. It's likely related to the thrush but I would also not rule out a neoplasm which you would certainly want to catch early.

      Hi there! I have very similar dermatitis herpetiformis responses. The only thing that helps is dissolving a Benadryl pill and rubbing that on the painful itchy spots that arise on my knees, scalp, elbows. I have been working with a nutritionist who also has celiac we narrowed down to me only getting we certified gluten-free products - which I try the best I can. But then I have found products that use guar gum and other additive gums I have reactions as well. It was my plant based milk. I had to switch to Elmhurst it’s just nuts and milk- most of the time.   I hope that’s helpful! I’ll keep following:) we seem to have very similar reactions!

      Hi,  My name is Julie and I am new to the forum.  I have been diagnosed with Celiac disease since 2006.  I follow a strict gluten free diet. In July I was diagnosed with oral thrush.  I had swollen lips, and my tongue was very red towards the front.  I also had a weird taste in my mouth and very dry mouth despite drinking lots of fluids.  I went to Urgent care and was prescribed fluconazole oral tablets for 5 days and it essentially cleared up.  Has anyone else had this happen?  It was so strange.  The doctor thought the thrush was from my mouth guard I wear at night.  Although my cleaning process had not changed. Also today I noticed an abnormal red spot on my tongue.  No other symptoms.  I will be calling my dentist.  But am curious if anyone has had trouble with yeast in their gut. Thanks Julie
