Just read the article on here with the video. It was a YouTube video talking about how 1 in 17 kids have a food allergy. She researched and said that in 1994 they started with the Gmos. Other countries banned them but not us! And we have the highest cancer rates and healthcare cost of any country! So when did your food intolerances start. Has it been since 1994?

I have no idea when mine started as I had no idea I even had the problem until my diagnosis which took me by complete surprise. However, I must say that whenever I go to Croatia (where gmo's are banned in most counties) I quickly feel more energized and able to manage chronic pain better. But then it does not help that currently we live only a few km away from an oil refinery.

The following offers a bit of information on gmo's, especially in the U.S. I used to work for an organic certification agency (one of the largest in the world) and know firsthand so many issues surrounding gmo's which I believe are evil. Seriously. If everyone saw what I did, they would be sickened.

And if you are interested, the following is a short animated blurb on factory farming which I am also strongly opposed to. It is very interesting and illuminating!

Wow that really makes me sick! Yuck! And these scientists are proud of using viruses and chemicals and what ever else to mutate our food? They say modified to make it around better. That's sick! America is so messed up in so many ways. I do not trust the FDA to protect me. I think everything is far to skewered by an exaggerated value on convenience instead of nutrition. No wonder we are all so ill.

Now that I know what it is & what it is related to & am looking back with 20/20 vision; I have to say I've had celiac all my life or at the very least since the teen years. And I'm now 55.

      Chances of being coeliac

      What was the reference range for that test? Each lab uses different reference ranges so a raw score like that makes it difficult to comment on. But it looks like a rather large number.

      I have had the tTG-IgA blood test my result are >250.0  I am waiting for the appointment with the gastroenterologist for endoscopy and biopsies.    what are the chances it’s not coeliacs.  waiting and not knowing is so hard. Especially the eating of gluten knowing it may be causing you more harm and coping with the symptoms.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @sleuth, Has your son been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  All of those symptoms can be caused by malnutrition.  I had severe malnutrition that went unrecognized by my doctors.  Intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, and gastrointestinal distress are symptoms of deficiencies in the eight essential B vitamins, especially Thiamine B1, which becomes low first because the demand is higher when we're sick.     Celiac Disease causes inflammation and damage of the intestinal lining which inhibits absorption of essential nutrients.  Checking for nutritional deficiencies is part of proper follow up care for people with celiac disease.   Is your son taking any vitamin supplements?  Most supplements contain thiamine mononitrate which in not readily absorbed and utilized by the body.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that is shown to promote intestinal healing.  Benfotiamine is available over the counter.  Benfotiamine is safe and nontoxic.   Is your son eating processed gluten-free foods?  Gluten-free processed foods are not required to be enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.   Is your son following a low histamine diet?  Histamine is released as part of the immune response to gluten and other foods high in histamine.  High levels of histamine in the brain can cause anxiety, insomnia, and depression.  The body needs the B vitamins to make the enzyme Diamine Oxidase (DAO) to break down and clear histamine.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Vitamin C helps clear histamine as well.  Some people find over the counter antihistamines helpful as well, but they're not for long term use.   Nicotine has antihistamine-like properties, but can also irritate the gut.  Tobacco, from which nicotine is derived, is a nightshade (like tomatoes, potatoes, peppers and eggplant).  Nightshades contain alkaloids which affect gastrointestinal permeability, causing leaky gut syndrome.  Nicotine can cause gastrointestinal irritation and alter for the worse the microbiome. Safer alternatives to Nicotine that have antihistamine properties include Lemon Balm (Sweet Melissa),  Passion Flower, Chamomile, and Bilberry.  They can be taken as supplements, extracts, or tea.  These will help with the anxiety, insomnia and depression in a much safer way. Oolong tea is also helpful.  Oolong tea contains the amino acid L-Theanine which helps the digestive tract heal.  (L -Theanine supplements are available over the counter, if not a tea drinker.)  Tryptophan, a form of Niacin B3, also helps calm digestive symptoms.  Another amino acid, L-Lysine, can help with anxiety and depression.  I've used these for years without problems.   What ways to cope have you tried in the past?
