    I totally agree with you. I wasn't as proactive as I should have been and then had 2 relapses with this flu and now my old scarred right kidney is acting up. Fortunately I know what detox herbs to take (and have them boiled up) and soothing marsmallow root plus am eating some cranberries with stevia so the worst is over. I still have a headache and some...

    Well said, Ali! I too struggle with yeast still. It is hard to never have anything sweet--so I use stevia. It helps a lot. But I also have to limit the amount of fruit I eat or it comes back. And the errant (fortunately now non gluten) cookie that my mother NEEDS upstairs that is always available doesn't help. I also find I need to cook my fruit for some...

    That is a great idea! Its better to stay positive rather than poor me. Also I suggest you might talk with someone at the university who arranges the food to see if they could have a gluten free area. You might think nothing will happen from it but you never can tell, it just might. Someone else here on the board was saying how her university actually does...

    It definitely can--plus the pulse often gets rapid too. Yolo

    Honestly it sounds like you should avoid gluten period. Unless you want to get cns problems (including depression or worse and short term memory loss and later on dementia) and quite possibly glaucoma, restless leg syndrome, insomnia, weak joints as you age and the rest , not to mention poor health in general and risking becoming more allergic to your foods...

    I learned here on somebody's post last week that pre-mixed plaster used in building construction has gluten in it. This explains so much of why I have so often gotten weak and sick at work, and the same with my business partner who also has celiac. It can't just be old age since we are otherwise perfectly fit. It makes me suspect other building materials...

    I'm glad to hear your experience with your doctor in Wales is so much more positive. Its hard here in the Western United States. Here we have to convince not only our family and friends that this disease actually exists and is not just some kind of "fad"--but also our doctors! Its easy to give up but really I am starting to see inroads by not doing so. ...

    I am starting to think its always important to bring some gluten free food anyway just in case its needed. You can put it in a small ice chest so it will keep in case you don't need it--and/or share it with others. This goes for eating at a restaurant too. When I put on a potluck with poetry and art event I always make an inexpensive but good main dish...

    Yes San Jose seems to be tough on all fronts. Everyone seems so selfish and "me first". I have run into the same thing in the arts. However I am going to start asking more and see what happens. I am hopeful that eventually it will help. Meanwhile my own family of course thinks I am completely neurotic despite their own gastric etc. difficulties. For...

    Perhaps you are healing? The other factor is that you may be getting gluten frequently enough that your body reacts less. This is of course a two edged sword. Good on the one hand but possibly deleterious to your nervous system, joints and villi etc. and long term health on the other. Certainly when I was getting hidden gluten it was still damaging...

    I use a cold pack with blue ice and thermos. I am learning even getting tea can be dicey if they make a sandwich beforehand and don't wash their hands. Its quite dicey. Am learning from another post however that if you ask you might find some places that are gluten free. Apparently the issue is becoming more known, and by asking it becomes even more so. Its...

    this is fantastic. It gives me hope. Here in the San Jose area it seems very difficult to eat out. Maybe I just need to try harder.

    ARCHIVED Any Ideas?

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

    I suggest you try the paleo diet--basic meats, fish, vegetables, fruit, some root vegetables and squashes for starch--then slowly add things in once you feel better. If you stilhave probems further investigation is needed and just eat the things that don't bother you. For myself I had to eliminate carrots too plus it seems I have to cook my fruit or I have...

    Thank you Takala! Well said! I too have neuro sypmtoms and more than my fill of doctors who just don't get it. It would be nice to find someone who did get it but so far no luck. Basically I decided to save my money. Now I am healthier overall than I ever have been and look ten years younger than my actual age. Whereas previously the sheath on my nerves...

    According to what I have read in the book Dangerous Grains and elsewhere, 30% of north Europeans and Italians have the gene for celiac and 10% of the rest of Europe also has the gene. It only shows up however from a stressful incident so not everyone has it that could. That being said it isn't at all odd that people in the same household but not genetically...

    It sounds like a great idea to connect these things. Certainly I have noticed this in myself too.

    I just wanted to add that in time your intestines will heal and its likely you will become less reactive fro the effects of likely leaky gut syndrome. I also found I often could have something once or twice a week but not more often especially at first. Plus sometimes I found I could not eat certain things with other specific things but they were fine...

    Hi Tina, Yes you do become more sensitive. Though its worth it since overall you feel better. I look forward when they finish devjisinga pill lthat will make eating out easier. However for at home staying off gluten should be easy. Just don't use gluten products in you animal feed!! I suggest when you do go out invest in getting a cold pack and pack...

    According to the book Dangerous Grains there is a strong correlation between the 2. Once you change your diet and go off gluten and eat less processed foods and sugar that correlation greatly diminishes. When I was younger I was starting to develop skin cancer however this went away on its own when I changed my diet.

    Just wanted to say I get eczema like reaction in my ears and nethers when I eat the wrong thing. Also want to rant. I just went to birthday party and thought I was being careful at a the restaurant etc. but apparently not enough. I think due to following my diet more stictly to a void hidden glutens I am more reactive. Its worth it however since overall...

    another thing that affected me a lot was my silver amalgam fillings. I had to go through getting them slowly removed. I used to always have a metallic taste in my mouth. The mercury in the fillings is highly toxic. I read just having 3 amalgam fillings reduces your immune system by 30 percent in trials done in Germany. As far as allergies, coeliac sets...

    Good luck with all that! And by the way consider getting bromelain/papain and pancreatin to take with your meals. It makes a good deal of difference. Ditto with marshmallow caps.

    As far as the internal symptoms as allergy responses I have had them all. I used to think whenever I had a sore throat it was another cold but tursn out it was just an allergy. I found that if by taking baking soda with water got rid of the symptoms that was a sure fire sign it was an allergy. I have also had DH but that was the first thing to dissappear...

    Hi, I have my own horror story though I am taking it more humorously than with horror. My recent boyfriend loves to drink his whiskey on the weekends--and glory be I would always get sick the next day after kissing him etc. I finally put two and two together and asked him to brush his teeth before kissing me--however he couldn't be bothered. We have known...
