    Hi again. The nattokinase is a fibronylitic enzyme derived from natto, soybeans that have fermented after being inoculated with a bacteria found in straw--something the samurais discovered over 1000 years ago care of their hungry horses. It is a strong anti inflammatory and acts against scar tissue--which is important to heal the damaged villi in the...

    I agree, it can easily take three weeks or longer to get over being cross contaminated with gluten. It seems neurologically affected people often are a little more sensitive than others. By the way, I have discovered recently that homeopathics can shorten the duration of a gluten attack. Might be worth checking out, no? Plus if you have some salicylate...

    It really could be the problem. However for me this happened way too much for it to be tolerable. Thus this is why I take all those mineral supplements and nattokinase etc. I listed previously. I have read elsewhere here on celiac.com that many folks with severe gluten sensitivity are low in silica. Thus horsetail is recommended. However since I...

    Here its my turn to "Oh Wow!" I thought maybe I was going over the top, but somehow had the intuition it might be helpful. Unfortunately salicylate sensitivity isn't that hugely uncommon, even though its is rarely recognized/looked for by the AMA or even alternative docs in the USA even though ADD and assorted related conditions are becoming more common...

    I have to take minerals every day, twice a day. What really made the positive change was taking silica drops, lots of calcium, mag., zinc, trace minerals, vitamin D. I also take nattokinase and some pro-biotics on an empty stomach to help heal the damaged villi. Hopefully you just have another food sensitivity or food allergy. I would try testing out...

    Just wanted to add that the dust on the chef's clothes and person is enough to cause cross contamination in your kitchen etc.. I have gotten glutened just walking through a pizza place to use their bathroom in back. I also have gotten it from shaking someone's hand and then opening up a water bottle. I have had to learn to wash my hands constantly. ...

    Hi Sue, I too have celiac plus a high level of salicylate sensitivity. It can be rough at times. My best suggestion is to exercise if you can, take nattokinase and probiotics plus L-glutamine on an empty stomach to help calm down your villi etc. Then also make smoothies of iceburg lettuce, celery and parsley with a little water added. And drink lots...

    ARCHIVED Intestines

    YoloGx replied to surfer's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    It all depends on how long you have had serious gluten intolerance or celiac, and how well you are at healing yourself. Often its best to go on a very simple diet of meat, vegetables and brown rice, avoiding milk products and sugar for the time being. Taking nattokinase and probiotics as well as pancreatic digestive enzymes can help speed up the process...

    I am so happy for you! My friend Joan picked up a poor dog nearly dead and without hair years ago and that little dog became the joy of her life and the neighborhood. It is amazing what a little TLC can do. There is something special about a dog in need and her or his new owner. No doubt the gluten free dog food will do wonders. I like the grain free...

    I have had similar problems. I went off all grains for a year and still had problems with itchy ears and eczema. Turns out I am salicylate sensitive and have had to cut out most fruit and quite a few vegetables as well as a few grains. Thus definitely corn for me is out, as are tomatoes and peppers. I can eat pealed white potatoes amazingly enough. But no...

    ARCHIVED Vitamin E

    YoloGx replied to plumbago's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    If you are concerned, take 400 IU's rather than 800. That is what I do. And do make sure it is gluten-free! Its true your doc might not be aware of the new studies which show one should exercise caution taking a lot of vitamin E. However 400 IU's is completely safe. Even the dose of 800 IU's is not all bad for many, since the risk of any possible negative...

    When I was dating not too awfully long ago, I decided to go on dates either not involving food (and pack some emergency food with me just in case) or go on a picnic which I offer to bring all the goodies--especially for the first few dates. I used an online dating service and right in my profile I listed severe gluten intolerance. I couldn't keep myself...

    Similarly I can't tolerate "glutino" products. The effects don't last as long as other cross contamination episodes, but its still intense while it lasts. Thus my credo is to just avoid it and anything else with similar properties. Bea

    Again I say yes, Kennedy, it makes a lot of sense. The idea of celiac emotional support groups across the nation is fantastic. It would make the concept of travelling for one, far less daunting--or moving to a new city. Ravenwoodglass mourns her dog even more since he was the only support she had, her family just does not get it. Thankfully she has this...

    I agree-a beautiful dog Pooh was! He'll always be there in your heart. He's still with you in ways that count. He just might also encourage you to find room in your heart for a new companion later on down the road. You will know when the time is right. For now its appropriate to mourn and be glad his big spirit shared his time with you. Bea

    Hi Ravenwood, You are not alone. Many here love you, and you are loved by all of Nature around you. Losing a dog you feel so close to has to be tough. When I lost my cat Omar I thought I was going to die. Its hard when family is not a real family. I know what its like to feel that perhaps someday they will come around, but cannot in any way shape or form...

    Chrisy, Are you completely off all trace gluten? Trace gluten could be interfering with your sleep and causing you migraines, upsetting your stomach, causing depression etc. A shared household where the other people are still eating gluten can be very dangerous to most of us here. In addition it might be possible you are sensitive to other things than...

    NIghtshades are potatoes, tomatoes, peppers. I react negatively to salicylates--which are in many foods, especially the skins, as well as in most herbs and most fruit. Salicylates are really the same thing as asperin. One can get leaky gut just from salicylate sensitivity, and it often creates joint and nerve pain etc.. So there are many possibilities...

    Be careful of what is in the supplements. Often gluten is in there, and even if in trace amounts could be a big problem. Don't use any Trader Joe's supplements for instance. Made in the same facility as wheat etc. is not good enough. What kind of anemIa? Is it iron or is it from lack of B vitamins or vitamins A and D or some combination thereof?? This...

    How inspiring! Thank you for sharing. When the dust settles on several of my projects, I want to start something like that here in the San Jose, CA area. We have a lot to share, more than just recipes. Bea

    I honestly don't really know--except I don't seem to handle any stimulants at all--including chocolate and lately raw garlic (cooked is just fine!). I had to quit first coffee and later black and green caffeinated teas. We already have an overactive immune system. Could that be part of it?? We just don't need it?? Now without all that, nor much herbs...

    I agree with EatMeat4Good,sometimes it does take that long. I have found that it has for me, especially at first, and then later after I got a series of cross contamination glutenings. The worst for me was after being off all trace gluten for a year, I was exposed to a kitchen full of wheat dust from several pies made by my brother for Thanksgiving...
  23. YoloGx
    I sympathize with your dilemma. Many here actually find that its better, cheaper and more readily available to cook food from scratch--thus just buy non processed meat, whole grain brown rice, fresh (or frozen vegetables if necessary, but check these too!), raw potatoes, turnips etc. and yams. Its a simple diet, but soon your taste-buds will likely prefer...

    LOL! now that's some dark humor! LIke my brother says, you only laugh when it hurts...

    Icarter: "Since starting the gluten-free diet there has been remarkable reversal of symptoms. Of course, since no one caught it earlier, there probably will always be some residual problems...like significant osteoporosis." I too have had celiac all my life before I discovered what was going on. This was a good 50 years or more...if you count the first...
