    Crazy thing! read this: Open Original Shared Link I have HLA-DQB1 0501 and 06**. inhave started suspecting the 06** is an 0602 because of the problems I have. You know, they always tout DQ2 and DQ8 when they talk about celiac disease so I figured I probably had non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Well, been reading over this 0602 info available on the Internet...

    Hi, I was wondering how everything turned out with you and the ANG. Are you still in? Or did you get a medical discharge? You can email me at jaimealbertson@comcast.net if you'd like.

    What do these eczema patches that people are talking about look like? I've been getting brown patches of brown leathery skin - on my feet and on my knees. The patches have defined edges. Wrinkly, leathery, hard skin. Not itchy. My mom, who I suspect has celiac (she's got a ton of symptoms) also has these patches.

    Thanks for that post, Burdee. I'll stop eating it. Too bad, because it tastes really good with agave nectar. It's definitely not worth it, though. It affected my job yesterday.

    I'm starting to wonder if Nutty Flax cereal is truly gluten free. The last couple times I had it, I got bad brain fog. I can't be certain it's the Nutty Flax, but it seems a super strange coincidence. There was a couple weeks in between the episodes.

    The National Guard can be, and has been, called on to do all the same functions as active duty. In fact, we are being used in large numbers in the current conflict. Our base, which is solely an Air National Guard base, actually had to train additional security forces personnel because they were sent over in large numbers to the Middle East. I actually tried...

    Hi. I'm in the Air National Guard. This is the state component of the Air Force. This past weekend, when I went in for my annual physical assessment, I was put on profile. This means that they marked me as undeployable, and therefore, unpayable. I can't serve until I get a negative diagnosis for gluten sensitivity. I have been in for 4 1/2 years. The...

    I certainly understand you didn't mean any harm , but I must beg to differ about the job of a military person being to take a bullet. Our job is not to take a bullet. Our job is to do our best to avoid taking the bullet so we can take out as many of their guys as possible. That's why our government spends so much money training us and on our protective equipment...

    Hello everyone. I have a neice who is severly casein sensitive. I want to explain logically to her mother that she should test her for gluten sensitivity, since it does run in the family. Does gluten sensitivity cause casein sensitivity? What, biologically, is happening? Why are they linked? Do you have any references for me? Thanks! Mary

    You're right about the difficulty in getting a diagnosis! Check out this horror story I got off a glutenfreeforum profile signature off the bottom of a post: celiac 49 years - Misdiagnosed for 45 Blood tested and repeatedly negative Diagnosed by Allergist with elimination diet and diagnosis confirmed by GI in 2002 [which means they did an endoscopy...

    Michelle, I did a search on the red flush you get from alcohol. Weird! Most of the results came up as "Asian Flush." One person said an allergy to sulfites can cause it. Everything else talked about this genetic thing that is predominant in Asians, and possibly Jewish people. It has something to do with an enzyme that's supposed to break down something in...

    Hey Michelle. It certainly sounds like you've got something autoimmune going on!!! What other symptoms do you have? You said you don't feel healthy. Are you fatigued? I put in three of your symptoms - hyperpigmentation, hair loss, and moodiness at this site: Open Original Shared Link And I got these possible results: Addison's Disease, Polycystic...

    Hi Michelle. Vitiligo is also associated with Addison's disease. No, celiac doesn't necessarily make someone pale, but it is one of the common possible symptoms. I'm very pale myself. What do you think about EnteroLab (Open Original Shared Link)? They do testing to determine if a person is gluten sensitive. I believe they can also test for casein sensitivity...
