ARCHIVED Is Dh Related To More Than Gluten Sensitivity?
solange replied to ellen123's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
I had to give up dairy to get rid of DH, and there is a miracle recipe to get DH back: three days after eating dairy, it is back like a charm. A friend of mine who isn't gluten intolerant claims the same thing happens to her. -
ARCHIVED Can You Actively Heal Villi? Okra Or Wine?
solange replied to cs789's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
OKRA,KOMBUCHA, KIMCHI, NO DAIRY, well, I never heard of okra as a healer until I bought some at an asian market, checked it out on the internet to see if it fit my specific carb diet, and discovered it was used to heal cattle's intestinal problems. So I tried it causciously and did well with it. I have been eating it once a week as part of my rotation diet... -
oh, incidently, if you read the newsletters on this site, you will also notice that a lot of people cannot digest ANY complex carbs for sometimes a few years after diagnosis, while their villi recovers. That is because that part of the intestine is where starches are broken down. Corn is on of those. So what happens, is thse mollecules, unbroken down, keep...

ARCHIVED Is It Possible To Have A Reaction From Handling Gluten Food
solange replied to ami27's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Would it be so odd that one could breathe gluten particles that are airborne from the rising steam/ heat/ smelly air out of the oven while it bakes? would it be so odd that some immune reaction could get started from the lungs? We know so little about the whole thing. I can tell you that I got (or did I?) glutened by hair products. I was using a new kind... -
lost 59 lbs in 5 months after going gluten free. I was sitting on my tail bone and my ribs could easily be counted.. at 104 lbs down from 163lbs. my Md friends were convinced I had some kind of weird cancer, but if I had had lymph nodes, I can assure you I would have found them. there was nowhere to hide... 25 months after the onset, I have put on 18lbs...

Well my cycles first got irregular when I got off gluten, then after six months, they plain disapeared, product of a general state of malabsorbsion. If you don't have enough energy for yourself, your body shuts down the less necessessary reproductive functions. I didn't start menstruating untill almost 18 anyway , courtesy of being poisoned day in and day...

same thing happened to me, everybody thought I was crazy, but then the genetic testing found one gene for sure, another one not so clearly. My grand mother had this and both her kids, one being my father , as well. That is all I need. Just because I don't fit the definition of a true celiac so what. I am sick and I get better without gluten. What else do...

ARCHIVED How Long Until Feeling Better?
solange replied to AllysonBrightMeyer's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I have been gluten free for two years and am finally feeling better, but I am 43, and from what I read, the older you are, the longer your body needs to fix things. I initially got better for two months, before I got so much worse that I thought I might be checking out. I stopped menstruating, lost 59 lbs down to 104 lbs, and became allergic to anything I... -
