    Just thought that I would chime in that I have recently discovered that I am a Saami. I had my mtDNA run. I am U5b1b = the old line of Sami. Everything I read about these people amazes me & I can see my traits & tell that I came from these people. I have a thread on the Paleo forum about Sami. Not only can I not eat gluten I also cannot eat...

    Obviously the mother has a gluten problem. IBS & UTIs are huge flags not counting that she knows she has at least one celiac gene. Plus add in fatigue (laziness) & obvious depression... plus having a child diagnosed celiac... Deb if you can manage it you could go for more of an intervention to get them all off of gluten, dairy & soy. You...

    Oh I am so sorry that you are not better yet. Dealing with allergies has been a lifelong hobby of mine. It is always a challenge. & yep, the way they change can drive you crazy. My allergies did get much much better when I went gluten-free. If you are getting cross contamination or just getting glutened from something, we can help you better identify...

    Geoff, what is a typical days meals like for you? Are you taking B12 & vitamin D? Did you get all your vitamin & mineral levels checked? Are you taking any medications that are not gluten-free? Did you replace all your gluten foods with the same versions of gluten-free foods? Do you live in a gluten-free household? Do you work in an...

    What processed foods is she eating? Anything with "Natural Flavor"? A lot of companies are now hiding MSG, barley, soy etc, in Natural Flavoring. The children that I know that are gluten-free have a huge emotional reaction to gluten. Because of my experiences I would tend to say that she is eating something on a regular basis that is making her...

    You are probably getting cross contaminated, are you still cooking for other whith wheat flour. Still cutting your apples on the same wooden cutting board that you used for wheat bread? check out the cross contamination threads. & be careful about the gluten free goodies that you are eating, especially the ones that are manufactured in places where...

    I would get this all typed up & get it notarized & have her doctor sign in. Not sure if it is still the case, but many years ago, if a document in Mexico was notarized, they thought it was a legal document, the equivalent to being recorded in u s

    Please be careful with the child in family B, that has the double DQ1, that child should be gluten-free. The child may never test positive for gluten but should be gluten-free. Double DQ1, IMO, is not very good because the person will get neurological & other health issues before any gut problems show up, if ever. My whole family is double DQ1 ...

    Really at first you should cut out all dairy & all soy. So no wheat free soy (soy) sauce! Also, do you live alone? Are there people there cooking with flour or cake mixes? Are you cooking with wheat products? Do you work in an environment that has food preparation? Do you have pets? Did you change your shampoo & lipstick to gluten-free...

    SBJ I live in a lower income neighborhood. The birthday parties around here are over the top, & that is for the kids. There will be a band, then a DJ when the band goes home, tons of food, balloon arches, rented play equipment for the kids, party bags, clowns & enough people & cars to cause congestion the whole length of the street, cake...

    Abbreviations used on this board: G and F = gluten free, but I think the board changes all the ( G F ) posts to the spelled out words CC = Cross Contamination CF = casein Free DF = dairy free SF = soy free DH = dermatitis hepaformis HS = Hidradenitis Suppurativa HHC = Hemochromatosis dd = darling daughter ds = darling son dil...

    hi 2020, I think a gluten-free trial is a good idea. A friend of mine that I diagnosed, had a cough when she ate & at night. Which I was not aware of when I suggested she had a gluten problem. She had a few other symptoms also... When she quit eating wheat, the cough went away immediately. Her husband was thrilled for her. I am not sure but the...

    Well the good thing about celiac is that once you are on the diet your other health issues should improve or go away entirely. It is shocking at first, but we do eat really well, with a wide varied healthy diet. Your diet can be not so healthy if you like & still be gluten free - lots of snickers, potato chips, fritos, ice cream, sodas, gluten free...

    apoppy thank you so much for posting this. That is so wonderful that you have made the connection, to HS & gluten. I do not have HS, but I do see the connection as a friend of mine has it, but also has gluten intolerance & is on a gluten-free diet. I forgot to check how long you have been gluten-free now, but you have to check for cross contamination...

    considering the huge database of information that he has accumulated over the years, I doubt very seriously if the government will let him publish his statistics & information. If you think everyone has free speech think again. Just like this board that has moderators, to filter out undesirable posts, the people that review these reports have a much...

    re peer review, anyone that has not read "Good Calories Bad Calories" by Gary Taubes, should read that book, it is about the history of "peer review" in this country & where it has gotten us. I thank God that we still have people like Dr. Fine that can stand on their own two feet & think for themselves without succumbing to pressures to conform...

    Nutrifoodie, the lab that you choose should be one that test for all the genes associated with celiac & gluten intolerance. Some labs only test for the "celiac" genes DQ2 & DQ8. re your dad being adopted. Are you aware that he can put his DNA in a database & probably find people that are related to him? Right down to what his biological...

    Hi Jason, run down to the store or Walgreens & get yourself a bottle of Nature Made B12, 1,000mcg & start taking one after lunch & dinner. I am not saying this is the best B12 to take, but it is handy & cheap & will do for the time being. No one that is depressed can think right to be checking out vitamins. You need some hand holding...

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, Happy Birthday to you... Sounds like you are in college. That is the worst, especially with no family or close friends. My birthday is Sunday, I will be ummm over 60... I will be spending the weekend by myself, but at my age, I treasure my time alone. Well, probably because I am still working & gone a lot, I am rarely...

    I think that you will find that for the most part having a mixed kitchen does not work, especially for a child. At least that is what my friends have concluded, It usually takes them about a year to get to that decision. IMO, A child should have a safe place to be where they can eat anything that is there. Can other members of the family just eat their...

    I would not give her the gluten free grains until all pain is gone, or at least 6 months after going gluten-free. some people cannot tolerate those grains. You can make a peanut butter cookie with sugar, peanut butter (1 cup each) & 1 egg. It is an old standard recipe. There are other recipes with no grains. check out the SCD diet, I think their...

    Angelschick, High Iron? Please get checked for Hemochromatosis, that is too much iron in your blood & can damage other organs including the heart. End stage of this if untreated, is that your skin will be reddish to yellow, then it kills you. My paternal Uncle died of this 50 years ago. The only treatment needed is blood draws under care of a...

    Well, I am gluten intolerant with double DQ1 genes. So I can only speak for myself & maybe the other people that have double DQ1. I can never eat wheat, rye, oats, or barley again. Unless, I want to kill myself. I have been gluten-free for 4 1/2 years, the best years of my life, so far. I am not going back to half a life. I do not care what any...

    I am helping a mom with an almost 2 year old. the child does the same thing, refusing foods. She is doing better but the parents have been feeding her foods that make her sick for so long that she does not trust them. I got her a nice little Dora The Explorer insulated lunch tote & took it to her with some safe snacks. She ate those foods for days...

    Yes, your mom does not need additional testing, she has DH. You might want to be tested though, since it is genetic. Regardless of your tests results, you might want to also be gluten-free with your mom. It does make the shopping & cooking easier. & you will feel better & have more energy on the gluten-free diet, if you eat the healthy way...
