I read the article and it's fraught with bad grammar and mispelled words as well as fallacious logic. It's borderline fraudulent how they attempt to link irrelevant good science to back their bogus claims. At least I'm glad you took the time to send me an unbiased link from...none other than the maker of the product. Here's a link to another thread...

This is another shill. Is there a way to report these to moderators? Jack, [censored] you. You may be getting paid to do this poop but you're spreading misinformation which could cause great harm to an individual. What's to happen when some parent, who doesn't know any better, reads this crap and purchases it for their sick kid? Self decency, you...

A shill is the byproduct of a form of viral marketing and advertising where as a company hires people to go around posting comments, threads, posts, webpages, and testimonials praising a products effectiveness. It's very effective and quite a few companies are guilty of engaging in it, especially those without large advertising budgets or with products that...

I live in a large household and I'm extremely careless with food preparation and cross contamination. I have never gotten a reaction from any household cross contamination. I never bothered to replace cooking ware or our teflon frying pans. I was all dishes in the same dishwasher, and only give cleaned utensils/plates/bowls a quick rinse before using them...

ARCHIVED Morning Digestion
Woolygimp replied to celiacyak's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I can't eat rich foods in the morning, I think when we first wake up our metabolism is very slow and may cause digestive problems. Later on in the day I have no problems, I think just in the AM it's something to do with our metabolic rate or level of stomach acid. -
ARCHIVED Sardines/shrimp/crawfish : Are They Really Ever Gluten Free?
Woolygimp replied to Woolygimp's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Shrimp is always going to be gluten free because they are almost never farm raised. I'm really curious about crawfish, because they are exclusively farm-raised and they ARE fed wheat. -
ARCHIVED Sardines/shrimp/crawfish : Are They Really Ever Gluten Free?
Woolygimp posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
If I'm not mistaken most fish farms use fish feed with a mix that can contain wheat derivatives, the problem is that when you eat a simple seafood you're often eating the digestive track of that organism. Unlike eating a fillet of fish, when you consume a whole sardine, shrimp, or crawfish you're eating more than just it's meat whether you intend to or not... -
ARCHIVED Symptoms Return Seven Days After Glutened.
Woolygimp replied to Woolygimp's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I currently do this, and every single reaction I've ever had has taken place 6-8 days after suspected food has been eaten. -
ARCHIVED Symptoms Return Seven Days After Glutened.
Woolygimp replied to Woolygimp's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Oh, and could someone help me out with this forum software? I can't see any posts I make in the corresponding forum, all I see are a ton of 'Pinned:' posts. To get to any post I make I have to go to my control panel, and it's almost as if the threads I make aren't showing up at the top of the forum. I've tried arranging by date and all that, but it's... -
ARCHIVED Symptoms Return Seven Days After Glutened.
Woolygimp posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
When I get glutened it takes almost exactly seven days for major recurrence of symptoms. I find this odd because a persons metabolic and digestive system works much faster than this, and most celiacs report almost immediate effects from accidental ingestion of gluten. Almost every single time I've been glutened, I'll feel fine for an additional week and... -
ARCHIVED Synopsis Of My Last Four Days Casein Free.
Woolygimp replied to Woolygimp's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
All of my stomach/GI problems got better after going gluten free, so dairy wasn't causing any symptoms of that nature. I'm not even convinced that I'm lactose intolerant, it's a whole host of other things that have improved. -
ARCHIVED Synopsis Of My Last Four Days Casein Free.
Woolygimp replied to Woolygimp's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Print her out a copy of my post and give it to her. Although I was never autistic, I can definitely relate to just how much it can affect someone. I would not be surprised at all if it was capable of causing autism or something related to it. I cannot describe how much of a transformation (as you would call it) that I've experienced in the last couple... -
ARCHIVED Synopsis Of My Last Four Days Casein Free.
Woolygimp posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I've been gluten free for around a year and change and during this period I showed a considerable improvement, but I never felt 'well'. As a child I was always very small and thin, but I was considered very intelligent. At around 17 everything reversed, I gained a considerable amount of weight and suffered a myriad of symptoms. About three years passed... -
ARCHIVED Enterolab Results
Woolygimp replied to Woolygimp's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I love dairy. Going gluten free without the alternative of dairy consumption is difficult because there's an entire gluten free food group that is void. I really don't notice any adverse reaction to most dairy products such as cheese, yogurt, and products with milk byproducts such as salad dressings. I don't drink milk though, or if I eat ice cream... -

ARCHIVED Enterolab Results
Woolygimp posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I've done 2 blood tests and both were negative. I've been gluten-free since May 01, and I've gone from 196 lbs to 175 in a little over a month with very little change to my lifestyle except the exclusion of gluten. Bloating and diarrhea have both been gone for weeks. My Enterolab results were just posted. -
ARCHIVED Blood Results - Low Positive
Woolygimp replied to Woolygimp's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
It's because he ordered a lupus test instead of a celiac antibody. I almost didn't catch it. I've gone through every sheet of paper, and I can't find any Celiac antibody tests, so I'm pretty amazed that he ordered the wrong test, charged me for it, and said it was negative. -
ARCHIVED Blood Results - Low Positive
Woolygimp posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Some of you may remember some of my posts, but I've suspected Celiac in the family for a while. Even went gluten-free for about 2-3 months, lost a lot of weight and definitely showed an improvement. Most of my major symptoms are coming from what I think are Hashimoto antibodies since both my sister and mother suffer from them (will have results Monday... -
ARCHIVED What Is The Biopsy Like?
Woolygimp posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I just drove several hours to Houston to see a GI, and he did a liver panel and gave me a packet and said, "well maybe you should try a lactose free diet." I even asked him to consider the possibility to Celiac, but he gave me the whole 'since your antibodies are negative, there's no possible way for you to have it' routine. I am thinking about getting... -
ARCHIVED Do You Guys Ever Feel Drugged After Eating?
Woolygimp replied to Woolygimp's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I'm skeptical about the whole 'candida' thing, as I haven't found a single reputable medical source that actually finds this a credible diagnosis. -
ARCHIVED Do You Guys Ever Feel Drugged After Eating?
Woolygimp posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
During recovery, after eating a large meal with absolutely no chance of having gluten or allergens (milk, dairy, soy), do you guys feel 'tranq-d', and fall asleep for 2-3 hours? -
For example, a crawfish. Crawfish are extremely healthy, one of the best tasting foods out there, and there's absolutely no gluten in the making of them. However when you eat them, you usually eat their digestive track, and crawfish forage for pretty much anything including plants. Usually they are raised in rice fields, but for technicalities sake...

ARCHIVED Reviewing Celiac In The Family And Need Advice.
Woolygimp posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Posted a few threads here and there, but this pretty much sums it up. Especially with the latest news that my liver is possibly damaged. Ran into hypothyroid symptoms about three years ago, which got real bad until they were relieved with T3 therapy vs Wilson's Temperature Syndrome. Have severe anxiety (since being medicated w/ Alaprozam this has relieved... -

How should we do this? Should we get the eldest, like my mother to go in for the blood test? -
ARCHIVED Celiac & My Family
Woolygimp posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I initially suspected I had Celiac after moderate weight gain, depression, anxiety, hypothyroid symptoms, and IBS popped up almost instantaneously in the past 3 years. My mother has IBS symptoms, fibromyalgia, and hypothyroidism. I've got four sisters, one of which with multiple autoimmune diseases. The other has a horrible case of Psoriasis. Another...
