    The simple answer is yes, one can get sick from stray kitchen bits of gluten like that--most easily for many of us! Just today I got the beginnings of a migraine simply from my visiting my new boyfriend in his kitchen the other day. He momentarily heated up his toaster and my stomach started feeling queazy immediately after. I had some baking soda and...

    Welcome to the forum! My hair by the way has gotten thicker and wavier since I went off all trace gluten. My nails have gotten stronger too, as well as my bones and teeth. This took around a year... I still have to take mineral supplements however to support stronger joints and connective tissue. Unlike you, I have had celiac most of my life. I avoid...

    I agree--its almost a no-brainer. I had to be careful of my mom's kitchen upstairs when I lived in Los Gatos--even after she was "mostly" eatting gluten free. Make sure they wash their hands and faces (and your honey his teeth and tongue) and brush off specks from their clothes (all those crackers and cookies can be messy!)afterward so you don't get CC'd...

    I am truly trying to figure out what constitutes an immune stimulant vs a nervous system stimulant. Yerba Mate for instance is a nervous system stimulant as well as a muscle stimulant. ?? I could use help here. I have read testimonials saying people with celiac and lupus have been helped by yerba mate.

    Dear Chanterelle, Welcome to the Forum! And yes, it is very likely that at the very least you have severe gluten intolerance. I agree--going back on gluten to find out if you have celiac officially or not seems hardly worth it. It can actually be dangerous for your health. You sound like you figured out a lot of this on your own--good work! Eating...

    This is kind of a continuation about my question concerning green tea as a stimulant and its safety for those with overstimulated immune system, as for instance those of us that have celiac. So far I am now convinced that green tea is safe since although it is a nervous system stimulant (given its caffeine), it does not stimulate the immune system. ...

    I agree, it can be very confusing. Especially if you want a definitive diagnosis. Not everyone gets it. By your being off the gluten for a while, the docs tests might not be able to find out if you have celiac or not. Secondly, a lot of times the doctors fail to find the right site for the damaged villi. After all, its not always so easy to find. Thirdly...

    ARCHIVED Green Tea

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

    Thank you Mark. What you say here is starting to make more sense to me. I guess part of the problem I had was thinking about stimulants in general being not so good for someone with celiac. Certainly for me as I said previously I don't do well with either chocolate or coffee. But that may be due to other reasons I guess than celiac. It may be because of my...

    ARCHIVED Green Tea

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

    Well, I suppose that kind of makes sense. A Nervous system stimulant is different than an immune system stimulant. I'll have to run that around a while for it to really sink in however. Thanks for pointing it out. It is confusing since green tea is said to boost the immune system plus of course it is stimulating due to the caffeine... Bea

    ARCHIVED Green Tea

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

    Thanks Tena. Its always nice to read about the healing benefits of green tea--esp. helping prevent cancer and dementia etc. I was just wondering however why its OK for us since the caffeine in green tea is a stimulant--given our already over stimulated immune systems is it wise for us to take if we have celiac. Does anyone know? I started using it...

    ARCHIVED Green Tea

    YoloGx posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Hi, A simple question. Is green tea supposed to be an auto immune stimulant or not? If yes, as it sometimes is claimed, is it safe for those of us who have celiac? I stopped taking all kinds of things like echinacea for instance due to its immune stimulant effects. Any body know?? I started drinking green tea to increase my collagen production actually...

    I agree with Rice Guy. there is probably some other antagonist, assuming you have gotten rid of all possible CC. I even had to change soaps and laundry detergent, cat food etc. etc. And now always wash my hands first before putting them to my face if I have gone anywhere, including driving since who knows what is on the steering wheel! I know you don...

    Ah, it seems we have some similarities here. I am glad to hear you don"t have an ulcer. Similarly, I don't eat fruit either except for lemons--I use water and stevia and make lemon aide. Eating with others is not foreclosed, you just bring your own or eat first. I also bring my own tea in a cool stianless steel thermos and/or water actually given how...

    I can't handle HCL or ox bile either. Ironically I produce plenty of stomach acid, its just the intestines that need extra help with mild plant based enzymes. If they are bothering you however then yes don't take them. Am glad to hear you are using the marshmallow root. I have found it to be essential at times. Its good for the kidneys by the way, as...

    I agree, adding some cooked vegetables to your diet wouldn't be amiss plus some positive visualization. Things like celery and parsley, and maybe broccoli and bok choy? Meanwhile I wonder if you are taking any digestive enzymes like bromelain/papain or simple plant digestive enzymes? Enterically coated acidophilus could help a lot too. Make sur eof course...

    You could easily be getting cross contamination of gluten from preparing your family's food etc. I continued having anxiety attacks and not sleeping as long as I was getting cross contamination just from very small things like shampoos, soaps, lipstick, or making food at my mother's using her glutenous kitchen or feeding her animals their gluteneous food...
  17. YoloGx
    True, but the likelihood that the glutenous puppy licks did get on hands and face etc. is high--the effects of which then can easily enough get into the mouth. But you are right, it may be "just an allergy"...
  18. YoloGx
    Unfortunately yes. I would do all the usual things to counteract a glutening attack including taking L-glutamine and enterically coated acidophilus, nattokinase and good food enzymes (with pancreatin and/or bromelain/paapain in them), lots of water and if you can handle it detox herbs like dandelion root (cleans out liver -- which also helps with skin), marshmallow...

    I ditto that. I have a B-1 deficiency and find the co-enzyme b complex from country life to be a godsend. My feet, calves and arms used to burn and tingle at night as well as flail around plus I was subject to unwarranted anxiety attacks. Further taking the co-enzyme b's stopped my heart from rattling around--whihc it seems was contributing to the anxiety...

    Well said!

    Its quite a lot to go through both going off all gluten and doing mercury poisoning chelation at the same time. You might want to slow down the detox/chelation for a little while just to normalize your son's system. If its totally wiping your son out then I think it may be too much. It really might be wise to slow down the process. He has after all the rest...

    I agree. I wonder what the story was about all that. It seems strange that such a long research project should get lost. At the time my mother was considered an oddity since she was intelligent and had energy despite the sprue and a low thyroid--at least that is what she says as to why she was paraded in front of the young interns.

    I just read the review of this book and it looks really interesting. Thanks for positing this! It looks like it will really be a great addition to my library. Personally I have found I have to tread an even keel and practice moderation with the carb/protein/fat thing since I have tender kidneys that don't want an excess of protein. Nevertheless I have done...

    I totally agree--sometimes one just wants to flake out but can't really. That's why I make things in bulk so I won't have to really mess with making things from scratch all the time. Plus it helps that my room mate also has very similar dietary issues since he too has at least severe gluten intolerance. It isn't identical but its enough the same that we help...
  25. YoloGx
    Nothing crazy about this attitude at all though maybe other people you know might look askance?? Or not be up to your ability to be so self limiting? Food is I agree after all just food. Actually having a life at last is far more interesting than baking all day etc. etc. Is someone in your life complaining? If so, maybe moderate the one attitude with the...
