    I think you badly need to read the book to understand it...

    Where on earth does the Dr say Celiac is not a disease ? Huh? The book is full of references to the autoimune disease Celiac. Have you read the book ? Atkins was a great diet but where it lets people dow is the fact that it allows whole grain wheat back into the diet in small quantities. Even that is enough to cause the opiate like addiction to continue...

    Where on earth did you find Dr Davis say that ???? Please - READ the book and do not misquote. At no stage does he say ANYTHING like that. But he does say that the worst critics come from the Celiacs who fail to see that no one should be eating wheat. ( and grains ) . Lose the wheat and regain your health applies to everyone... not just people with the...

    It might be an idea to check your Vitamin D, Calcium, Ionised Calcium and PTH ( several times ) - in case you have a Parathyroid adenoma causing the bone loss. Most Drs don't get Hyperparathyroidism at all - they still think it is a rare disease.. If they kept up to date they would find the stats are 1 in 250 woman over the age of 50 have HPT... which I...

    I just LOVE this book!!!! Dr Davis is a Saint ! A Saviour !!! I read the book last August and started Sept. I lost 10 kg before Christmas without any effort at all... and this in itself was amazing as I had no hunger, and at not stage felt deprived AND I did not increase exercise and in fact decreased it... I had ONE meal with sugar over Christmas and...

    Sorry for your pain. I have had that and sympathise... You are not going to like what you hear about my treatment for SIBO but it was antibiotics. Mine was neomycin as C was my symptom...Only a normal course I think.. Open Original Shared Link I then did strict FODMAP. Open Original Shared Link Onions are my worst trigger food and then apples...

    I oly discovered I was lactose intolerant after giving up Gluten. C was my symptom of Gluten and D is my symptom of Lactose so they cancelled ach other out pre dx I gave up dairy for 2 years ... longest years of my life ! Then I had hydrogen breath tests which showed it was only lactose. I am fine with butter, cream, hard cheeses and lactose free...

    Hi , Sounds like you have a few things happening there. Are you FODMAP ? Open Original Shared Link I am not sure what FrucMal is ...but if you are FODMAP then you need to see a good dietician to explain it. I think Sue Shepherd does skype consults still. You have mentioned afew things that suggests you need this help. For eg - the fruits of FODMAP...

    I got diverticulitis from a Glutening and needed antibiotics. Hope you feel better soon. Most people don;t have a clue what Coeliac can do to our bodies.

    Hi Keggy, Sorry you are unwell. I have had blood clots and a PE so know what you are going through right now. Have you been tested for Factor V Leiden and APS ( Hughes Syndrome ) ? www.fvleiden.org is a genetic disease of the blood that never skips a generation but can increase the risk of clotting. I have FVL but they only tested me 3 years after...

    Its not just an American problem In Australia we have had 5ppm as our standard. So anything reputable and stamped as gluten-free would be required to be tested to that level. Now the standard is being changed to 20ppm. We are being told that 20 ppm does not matter. That we should be happier with a wider selection of cheaper gluten-free food. Yeh...

    B12 tablets never did it for me. It had to be hydroxo injections. I had them weekly for nearly a year and even now still need them every few weeks.

    I started treatment 2 weeks ago after yet 'another' migraine with loss of vision. I think my Dr may have just saved my life. I have had years of these headaches and migraines... I have the skin discoloration too and the assoc autoimmune diseases. It pays to have the blood test and check - remember that there is much research being done into the sero negative...

    Just make sure it 'is' a migraine and not Antiphospholipid Syndrome ( APS) or Hughes Syndrome which affects 1:100, and is an autoimmune disease of the blood making it thick and sticky and causing migraines and strokes.Autoimmune diseases like to come in groups. Once you have one you are more likely to have others. Open Original Shared Link Open Original...

    I have Reactive HypoGlycemia ( 5 hour GTT) and Coeliac. What makes you think you no longer have Coeliac? You may also want to check for Adrenal Insufficiency. Your Primary Care Dr can run a fasting 8am cortisol test and you can order your own saliva tests - although many Drs do not recognise these. RH can be mistaken for low adrenal function. My AI dx came...

    I have been strictly gluten-free for 4 years but after a restaurant meal last week I broke out in 36 hours. I am not confirmed as DH but highly suspected.

    Just be really really careful that it is Graves Disease and not Hashimotos Disease. Hashimotos can cycle up and down/ resemble Graves and does not need to be 'killed off'. It just needs a good thyroid medication and treatment plan.

    I found it didn't work as well for me due to malabsorption. If there was a gut flare ( for whatever reason) you ran low on thyroid as well....

    After 3 years of being gluten-free - I still had symptoms. Dr put me onto pancreas enzymes and I have never felt better.

    How do you add pics ? I found some cream and that seems to be helping the itch. Hope it goes away soon.

    ARCHIVED Is This Dh?

    georgie posted a topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis

    Initially at the time of my dx in 2006 - I had symmetrical itchy rashes that would not heal. They did once I went gluten-free. For several months I would still get the itch at the areas where the rash had been. It was good - as it soon taught me to eat gluten-free and where the hidden Gluten lurked! Long story but I was at a function with family 4 days...

    Have you tried Pure Cream? Cream has virtually no lactose. I have lactose intolerance and can tolerate the low lactose foods ( butter, cream, hard cheese ) just fine. I found one brand of cream suited me better than another. It was the ( natural) thicker one. The thin 'pouring type' cream upset me.
