    I just posted this article by Dr. Mark Hyman onto Facebook from my SF Bay Area celiac network: Open Original Shared Link Read it! It shows whether or not you have celiac or severe gluten sensitivity, gluten can in fact still be messing quite deteriously with your life. For naturopaths and doctors who actually are paying attention to this problem with...

    It may be you are still getting cross contamination from gluten somehow. Its also possible you have developed sensitivities to possible food allergens due to leaky gut caused by damaged villi in the intestines (from celiac or severe gluten intolerance). Common culprits are milk, corn, citrus, soy, tomatoes, potatoes and peppers, coconut, nuts in general...

    I suggest that besides the crock pot you also buy yourself a rice cooker. Just measure the rice and water and put in the cooker and turn on. Its that easy. Make a bunch and put it in your fridge. Later on (or right away) you can add it to the other things you make in your slow cooker. Or what you have frozen like the veggies. Shrimp too is an easy option...

    Licorice root definitely isn't for everyone, especially long term. It can raise your blood pressure too after 10 days of use. Dandelion root is a lot safer. While it helps you to detox, you also get back the potassium. Meanwhile though, yes, mineral deficiencies of all kinds are common with celiac. Our villi are blunted and often scarred. The level...

    Hi Caroline, You remind me of me so very much. I know it must be frightening going through all this. It was for me. However you will get passed it. You will get passed all of this. There are answers out there. Just be prepared to have to be alert for signals and be willing to follow up hunches. Going off the oranges is likely imperative. They are very...

    Dear AVR, I just got a copy of Sharla Race's Salicylate Handbook. I think just maybe your days of being salicylate sensitive may still be here, just showing itself a little differently perhaps? Sharla Race has a website at www.foodcanmakeyouill.co.uk I too had plantar fascitis. How I got rid of it was stop using the salicylate treatment on my foot...

    Congratulations AVR. I know you have struggled. So good to hear you can tolerate eating some spices now too! And that many of your neuro problems are subsiding, amongst others. Its not ended, but sounds like you are definitely on the path towards excellent health! Bea

    Most of us have problems with dairy, especially at first due to our damaged intestinal villi. Yogurt is better than straight dairy and its just possible you could handle that. Nevertheless you might still want to wait on even trying that for a while, like at least 6 months?? Plus all that sugar can be a problem too for low blood sugar. Really. You might...

    Likely true about how long it sometimes takes to get better. My theory though is once glutened it makes one more sensitive for a while. That is what happens to me at any rate. I go back to square zero if it happens a lot. Eventually I build up more resistance, again. Meanwhile I just have to wade through it. As far as microwaves go, I have gotten ill...

    Well at least you don't have salicylate sensitivity too. Am thinking its potatoes or bust, eh? Bea

    Hope your porridge works out well. Here in America we have to be careful of CC with both the millet and the buckwheat. So you see maybe you have a few things there we don't. Potato leek soup sounds great! Glad to hear you are on the mend. Bea

    Sorry to hear you are feeling so miserable. Both my bf and I are sensitive to microwaves used by others for their gluteny items. I have found sometimes a homeopathic will help. They have several varieties for bloating and stomach pain. If you can handle the aspirin and mint, Pepto Bismol can provide relief. My home made sauerkraut seems to help too...

    By all means tell your doctor about your reaction. Maybe the fool will learn something. Good for him or her to know in case you ever get stuck in a hospital for instance or you need special accommodations on a cross country airplane trip. Or if you need special gluten free medicine. Plus it might help the next person down the line. Bea

    Its horrid being sick I agree. Neither is it a good time to shop, eh? Maybe right now is not the best time to eat sweets, given you are getting over a bug, anyway--yes?? Just to let you know, you can make your own rice porridge as long as you have a blender that isn't broken and uncooked rice on hand. Just blend for a minute and its as good as you get...

    The kasha we had was said to be gluten free too. But apparently it wasn't entirely. Either that or we all were so alike that we reacted to it?? I doubt it. Am glad to hear you want to try out making the sauerkraut. There are lots of examples of how to on U-tube. I chose the whey inoculated type since it ferments more quickly, is less likely to go "off...

    Things that help me are real home made yogurt with a peeled, diced golden delicious apple, or real home made lacto-sauerkraut, or fresh blended veggies with water like parsley, celery and lettuce blended together. Also sometimes drinking water with baking soda helps. Some are helped too by taking charcoal tablets or capsules immediately after being...

    Many here find relief going on a grain free paleo diet or specific carbohydrate diet. Perhaps you will too? There are threads here for both diets I believe. Check it out on the search section. GAPS might help you too actually. Threads here for that too. Fermented lacto sauerkraut cabbage is really helping out me and my boyfriend and a good friend...

    I am betting there are some addictive ingredients in the prepared gluten free products you are eating. Maybe its the corn? Or the milk? Or some weird additive(s)?? Or just the fact its so easy--yet empty of true good nutrients you need?? You could also be craving the oil since the first thing to go with our damaged villi is fat absorption. However eating...

    I found an herb list of high salicylate herbs someplace. I will look it up later. Thing is that there hasn't been a lot of research into it. Normally they just say "no herbs" blanketly. Very frustrating. Due to my need this fall with a gallbladder problem I discovered there are a few low sals herbs. But not very many. Dandelion root, golden seal, and nettles...

    Sorry about recommending you do cooking in y our room. It sounds like it is off limits these days. Perhaps in the future you could consider off campus housing?? Its really nice to hear they have a community kitchen. However the community toaster is likely hazardous for you given cross contamination problems from other folk's toast. You could buy your...

    You mean the adzuki beans (also spelled aduki etc.)? They are in most Asian markets. You probably can order them online too. They are amazing--they actually melt the cholesterol in the liver and gall bladder. Certainly they have made me feel a lot better -- as well as of course eating less animal fat and avoiding fried foods.
  22. YoloGx
    How frustrating Caroline! Do be careful of the cuts of meat you are eating. Make sure they are not too fatty plus avoid fried foods. Part of your excess water problem could be your liver/gall bladder not handling excess cholesterol and toxins--which is likely if you still have damaged villi. And who doesn't if they have issues with gluten? The first thing...

    Hi. How disappointing to have your chicken dish make you ill! I often get a sore throat and congestion after getting "glutened". Along with many times a migraine to boot as well as the achey joints. It could well have been the sauce. And yes most do have gluten. I would in future ask for no sauces. Just plain chicken etc. if you decide to have them...

    Blood tests are notoriously inaccurate. If you really want a good test that way consider having your stool tested. It is less accepted by the AMA but the actual science supports it. Entero Labs is really the way to go. However the best test of all is how you feel. If you feel bad eating gluten then you shouldn't do it. Most people would consider bed ridden...

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

    I have found eating more home made cultured food (yogurt, sauerkraut) and gluten-free miso to repopulate the gut with good bacteria really helps. It also helps to eat things like adzuki beans and avoid heavy animal fats for a while to give the liver and gall bladder a break. Better to eat fish and shrimp etc., and maybe some skinless chicken, but no other...
