    Lactose causes trouble. There is no lactose in the yogurt or dry curd cottage cheese, but there is a small amount in the other legal cheeses. I can't do the other legal cheese either. The villi don't produce enzymes that is the final step in digestion. According to what I've read when we can digest milk again we are healed. It's the last step, the last piece...

    If you're not getting better on the gluten free diet you may want to read the following information. Please don't get hung up on the word "cure". There is no cure for celiac disease, but you can get better and live a healthy happy life. Open Original Shared Link

    Yes, I had joint pain and stiffness. I was tested for osteoporosis and failed the test miserably. So I asked for blood test and found I was vitamin D deficient. I started taking a double dose for a week or two and the joint pain and stiffness disappeared over time. Get tested for both! If that doesn't work, check out the "original" gluten free diet...

    Hello all; I HAD reactive hypoglycemia. I was diagnosed through the 6 hour test. I was told to follow the low carb; hi protein diet. It sorta worked, but I struggled with the complex carbohyrates that were recommended. I had all the symptoms you have had. I did lot of research and read many books, and now no longer have hypoglycemia. I follow the...

    The original diet for celiacs was created by Dr. Merrill Haas. He created the specific carbohydrate diet for celiacs and other people with digestive disorders. He determined that celiac's villi are damaged and do not produce enzymes to digest certain grains, sugars, etc. It is unrealistic to think a damaged (villi) small intestine can digest complex foods...

    Gluten is not the only thing that will flatten villi. Many other foods, such as gluten free oats, rice and other grains that are considered ok for celiacs can cause flatten villi. Milk, soy protein, people with crohn's disease, hepatites, parasites, and anything that basically casues diahrrea may result in flatten and damaged villi. These individuals...

    Has he taken antibiotics lately for anything?

    Extreme fatigue and sleepiness can be caused by low blood pressure. My doctor called it "dumping". Food passes too quickly through the small intestine, which in turns causes the blood pressure to drop. A change in 10 points in pressure can cause symptoms. So if you are normally 110/70 and drop to 105/60 you may have symtoms. I would get faint, have black...

    Night sweats and nightmares are symptoms of hypoglycemia, which can be caused by a damaged small intestine. I used to get them all the time. I blamed it on menopause too, but now I blame it on carbs. I'm following the SCDiet. No more night sweats or nightmares or waking up feeling like I need to run for my life! Check out the SCDiet under food intolerances...

    very interesting about your dog. I would spook my horse just by walking up to her. She must have sensed my racing heart. It raced all the time. (Enlarge heart) Now since I'm getting better, she's much more mellow and calm. But then again so am I! I used to trip over my own feet, couldn't walk a straight line, and would get very dizzy and have motion sickness...

    This is so sad..... My daughter has struggled for years to conceive and have children. She IS responsible, married has a job and has paid thousands of dollars in medical bills to conceive. She finally was able to conceive and lost the baby. Miscarriage is horrible. The child is loved and lost. Grief is intense. Life is a blessing. It needs to be cherished...

    Dean's is a brand in the midwest and they offer dry curd cottage cheese. My local grocer gets if for me and I buy 4 at a time and freeze it.

    It is possible your blood sugar is diving and the "pounding heart" is from an adrenaline rush which your pancreas releases to bring your blood sugar level up. It may be due to a damaged small intestine.

    Celiac disease damages the intestine. A gluten-free diet often isn't enough to to heal the small intestine. You may want to check out the Specific Carbohydrate Diet -SCD under food tolerances - leaky gut thread. FYI!

    Yes, yes, yes the diet works for me! I was gluten free for about two years and still wasn't feeling better. Some days sorta okay, others horrible. I have digestive and endocrine problems. Iron anemia, Pernicious anemia, Hypoglycemia, hepititis, enlarged heart, low blood pressure, osteoporosis,etc. etc. I have researched everything I could find about...

    Here! Here! Alib. I've been gluten free for two years, but couldn't figure out why I wasn't getting any better. I believe the SCDiet needs to be advertised more on this website. I read alot of things here, but missed the SCDiet. I eliminated all sorts of things, but still wasn't feeling that good. I knew I had a problem with carbs as I had hypoglycemia...

    Poor carbohydrate digestion causes me to have night mares, night sweats, leg spasms/cramps, tingling and racing heart. I will wake up from an adrenaline rush. I'm following the Specific carbohydrate diet, which is gluten free. I now sleep fine, but it took time and 2 years of searching for the right diet. Good luck, I hope you find an answer. chaty

    I've been on the diet for a couple months now and finally have found the answer to all my symptoms. I purchased the yogurt maker, almond flour, and then revamped my pantry! I am sleeping through the night, have normal BM's, and tons of energy. For the first time in many, many years I feel wonderful!!! I have been gluten free/dairy free for about 2 years...

    THe only coffee I can tolerate is Starbuck's decaf. I use gluten free Coffee mate. I've tried different brands of decaf and have symptoms - (racing heart, dizzieness, exhaustion, upset stomach). I love my coffee. FYI.

    My pony's are thinner now, they were on some pretty rich pasture that year. The mare was nursing so didn't want to interrupt anything. They don't get any feed other than grass and grass hay. - Occassionally oats. They are older now and in pretty good shape. (They are smaller - registered quarter horses 14.5 hands.) Anyway, the yogurt is delicious - with...

    THe yogurt is wonderful! I'm able to eat it with no reaction! I'm sticking with the SCD diet. Yes, those are my pony's.

    My book on celiac says shell fish is a problem, crab, lobster and shrimp. I love them all but can't eat any of them anymore. Don't know why, maybe' it's harder to digest.

    Make chicken soup from scratch and freeze some. Chicken, carrots, celery, onions. I would stay away from "starchy veggies" since you said you are having trouble with rice. (starch) Pork chops, fish like orange roughy or walleye or salmon, tuna, turkey, cornish hens, boiled eggs, Almonds, olives, dill pickles, cooked (steamed) veggies - I drink almond...
