About Me
Probably a typical diagnosis with being sick off an on (like food poisoning) for a couple of years, and then had a good GP doc refer me to an awesome GI... we figured it all (well, most of it anyway) out June 2006. Been gluten-free ever since. Added dairy and most lectin-high foods in April 2009 as I was still having issues at times.
When I can control myself the best and stick to a purely Paleo diet, I feel like $1 Zillion!
My goal is to help people get healthy by way of wellness and not the health system... prevention and avoidance is the key... I hope to make that my living some day.
I began taking a product called MonaVie to make sure I was getting my 5 to 9 servings of fruit and veggies a day on the recommendation of a friend. I liked it so much that I joined to get it cheaper.... not recruiting you, just realize that prevention is key, and getting all of your nutrition is important!

Wow, great information on here. I would like to visit that foundation website, and try the slippery elm. I supplement with L-glutamine which, along with a 12-straing pro-biotic seem to really help. I know what you are saying Skylark with 'listening to your body', but you have to admit, it is not easy to always discern what the culprit is.... good luck...

ARCHIVED Need Help Going Lectin-Free
BBadgero replied to masterjen's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Lisa79, I would suggest checking out the Dr. Loren Cordain stuff online. He writes "The Paleo Diet" series. He does such an awesome job at explaining what lectins are in which foods, and how they affect the body. He also explains why the eat right for your type diet is off base, and why it would not work for anyone with celiac if they were to eat gluten,... -
I have found much in my research in terms of "leaky gut" culprits... not only to be the gluten in wheat, barley, and rye, but also things like the nightshade family of plants (potatoes, tomatoes, and peppers)due to their saponin content. Also any legumes (soy, peanuts, beans), eggs (due to their lysozyme content), the grains quinoa and amaranth, and alfalfa...

ARCHIVED Additional Allergy With celiac disease?
BBadgero replied to David's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
David and Voss, great discussion here! I've been gluten-free for about 5 years and still am looking into 2ndary allergies or intolerances. I have just heard about Histame and plan on buying it for sure... I just got blood work done and both soy and yeast are culprits for me... I decided to just eat the caveman diet (www.thepaleodiet.com) and when I can muster... -
ARCHIVED Vitamins?
BBadgero replied to Gluten Ogre's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Hey Liveenjoylife, the comment about blood cells makes me want to ask you and anyone else here... anyone ever get a low white blood count blood draw result with everything else (including no fever, etc) fine? I had one recently with my physical and know I was just coming off of an episode of being glutened, etc. I read someplace on Dr. Laura Power's website... -
ARCHIVED Vitamins?
BBadgero replied to Gluten Ogre's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I can only imagine that the refridgerated probiotics are better as they are much less processed than the shelf pills... also, as far as vitamins, I've just picked up some great vitamines from BetterHealth that are soy, corn, gluten, dairy, and shellfish free... so far so good, and they do have the D3 and multiple B's.... As far as digestive enzymes - I... -
ARCHIVED On A Lectin-free Diet Too?
BBadgero replied to Lovinglife's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Lisa79, almost forgot about the supplement part. Don't know if you know about Dr. Kenneth Cooper (father of aerobics movement), but just started to take 1000mg of Vit. D a day and 1gram of omega 3 oil a day. Along with this, I do take 4 oz. of a juice called MonaVie and I feel that I am pretty good vitamin wise, etc.... but for the most part, the paleo way... -
ARCHIVED On A Lectin-free Diet Too?
BBadgero replied to Lovinglife's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Lisa79... I am heading down that path right now! Been gluten-free the best that I can since 2006 and it has helped for the most part. Recently I've noticed, for whatever reason, sensitivities to other foods. On this site there is a great link to Dr. Krispin's Lectin Report (www.krispin.com/lectin.html). I started out just eating by way of Dr. Cordain's Paleo... -
ARCHIVED Toddler With Symptoms, Blood Tests Negative...help
BBadgero replied to CN808's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Don't forget to avoid barley and rye as well - this site addresses it all, but since you said you are new to this, realize that gluten comes in many forms.... I too never had blood tests, but with elimination have seen a night and day type improvement, even though I didn't always seem to get the symptoms before I found out.... There could be other food... -
ARCHIVED Gluten Free In Cancun,mexico?
BBadgero replied to k-kitkat's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
I just got back from the ROYAL Playa del Carmen (a resort in Playa del Carmen, owned by Real Resorts - www.realresorts.com) and had 5 fabulous days of gluten-free eating. They had 7 resturants and I was able to eat at every one. I emailed ahead and got a hold of Edwin, the head of Food and Drinks for the ROYAL in Playa del Carmen and in Cancun. He and his... -
Once I found out I had to go gluten-free, I basically followed a Paleolithic diet and got strong quick, but didn't build size as much... how much cardio do you do a week? I lift 5 days, and run M-W-F with S/S off. I found that kept my weight moderate to steady for almost a year. But with all the protein, I increased size slowly, but stregnth quickly. Zero...

Just wondering if anyone out there has experienced one particular animal meat that seems to cause problems for them - almost like getting glutened??? I am suspecting some venison from a deer I got this past fall. Each time I eat either steaks or roasts from it (all seasoned/cooked with gluten-free ingredients), I get glutened-type reactions. Though not...

ARCHIVED Gluten And Dairy Free?
BBadgero replied to chocolatelover's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
You know, until I went gluten-free and DF (well since I am a chocolate lover too, 85% DF ) I didn't ever quite feel right. I now follow strictly (again, except for the occassional chocolate or Snickers bar) a Paleolithic Diet.... it is similar to protein diets, but made more sense to me. I follow Cordain's version, but I am going to switch to Protein Power... -
ARCHIVED Any Weightlifters, Bodybuilders?
BBadgero replied to EddieJP125's topic in Sports and Fitness
I enjoy everyone's take on either gaining muscle or maintaining weight. I personally eat a Paleo diet (no grains and no dairy in a nutshell...) and it took a while for me to "regulate". Needing to be gluten-free and thus having less access to carbs, I supplement with 100% egg protien, take the l-glutamine 500mg 2x per day (on lifting days only though), and...
