Tracey, Thx for the link - it does sound interesting. I wonder $ My osteo in Melb mentioned she had something similar done last year (it may have been the same).

I have been told that men with Celiac genes do not have the ability to switch it on/off. Women on the other hand can. The trigger for this can be puberty/pregnancy, stress/hormones. This seems to be the case with alot of autoimmune disorders for women. I'm not sure if this is true but it does seem to make "logical" sense. As far as a "cure" - perhaps...

When you say had a bad reaction what do mean? I suspect my DD (3) has been battling a low grade fever reaction since having it at birth.

Thanks every-one, I am left in no doubt that gluten is the trigger for this temp cycle we go thru with DD (3) - its a "body fever" where her entire body is flaring hot. Fever symptoms go away while on gluten-free diet. We prefer natural approaches so are working on strengethening her constitution through a homeopath starting Friday. I can now confidently...

I would like to add my sympathies for what you are going thru. I have had 4 miscarriages, between the birth of my DS (11) and DD (3). Testing showed "sticky blood" being caused by a gene mutation (MTHFR) that required blood thinners (aspirin/Clexane injections) for part of pregnancy and resulted in our DD. This gene mutation has a link to folic acid/homocysteine...

Thx Ursula for your promt reply. As you can probably tell I have been going round and round for quite a while with my whole family. I believe we are all Celiac - the problem comes in here in Australia when sending your children to day-care or schools, they require a Dr's letter stating the medical reason for adapting diets. so we have been trying to...

I am fairly new here and would appreciate some advice. Has any-one else had a fever reaction in their little one after ingesting gluten? Our 3yr old runs fevers (a day or so after ) -we strongly suspect she is Celiac (G.I. symptoms) but the temperature seems to throw most Dr's who insist it cannot be related to food. We cannot get her to attempt a "gluten...

Hi Peg, I know this post was a while ago, but I live in Brisbane too and pretty much are self-diagnosed - I'm not keen to do the "gluten challenge". My husband and I have been gentetically tested and he is doing the challenge now. I have 2 children, 1 diagnosed with "gluten intolerance" and the other with symptoms also. I have been working through...
