    It's probably too early for me to have any constructive response but I am going through the die off as we speak. I've never heard of hexing until now. For me the die off started with a bang. It was horrible, painful, smelly ....just revolting frankly. It's happpened five times in the past year but I never knew what it was. This was Friday night. The headaches...

    Is this found at a GNC or other health food store? What do I look for? Thanks

    Hey all, Thanks for the replies. I was feeling fatigue and brain fog for a while. I knew there was something more than gluten going on because I have been pretty strict with the exception of soy sauce at sushi. My diet was heavy in fruits and vegetables. I made salad dressing every night which always contained lots of vinegar, usually rice wine which...

    Hello All, I'm hoping I'm looking at the real mountain top. I've climbed alot of peaks in the past year only to look beyond to a new peak. I am curious what your theories are on die off. I think I've had it happen 5 seperate times in the past year. Most recently last night. Last night was the first time I was aware that what I was experiencing was...

    Thanks for your replies. For some reason this has stressed me out big time. I found the candida thread and have been trying to plow through the 18 plus pages . Interesting that you said that about gluten as the FM guy told me the same thing. I can't even imagine eating it again as I no longer think of it as food.

    I've never considered gluten intolerance to be a big issue. If I can't eat gluten so be it. I haven't been feeling 100% so I went to a functional medicine specialist. He ran blood, saliva and urine tests to assess my overall health. I've been gluten free (or so I thought) since June. My IGA results were just below the level that qualifies as Celiac...

    Anxiety - Ah, my favorite subject. I was 16 when I first felt it. I'm not sure it was gluten or the prospect of heading off to boarding school. Exercise was the only thing that got me through it. It made me a great swimmer...... Fast forward to 12 months ago (21 years if you must know) and things had become dire. Somehow, with some luck and determination...

    I have the same problem in reverse. My father won't go gluten free just gluten light and he still complains about problems caused by gluten. I told him he was free to kill himself with his food if he wanted but he wasn't free to talk to me about his health issues any more. He is still looking for the doctor that will tell him he has X disease and will give...

    www.herbdoc.com This is the detox I did that eventually helped me figure out that I am GI.

    That is interesting. I have been eating goat cheese without any problems but I eat only very small amounts on a salad occassionally. The link I provided to DogtorJ's website has an interesting theory on cow vs dairy which definately argues that the casein in goats milk is found in such small quantities as to be insignificant. He could certainly be wrong....
  11. Ken70
    I can't remember where I read this but I believe casein is found in goat's milk but in such small quantities that it does not coat your intestines the way a dairy product derived from cow's milk does. Goat's cheese is the only dairy I allow myself and I don't feel any effects from it. I do binge on chocolate from time to time and I suffer bloating and gas...

    In college I would swear to people that I must be allergic to Beer because of the random reactions I would get that included inconsistent behavior when drinking, horrible hangovers from very little to drink and the big D. It only took me 15 more years of problems to figure it out. I can't believe I'm saying this but I don't miss it at all.

    I would respond no. Can't someone have villous atrophy one week and show no signs the following if the sample was taken from a different spot or the gluten free diet had begun to work? Seems to me that the terms Celiac and gluten intolerant are interchangeable.
  14. Ken70
    I have to ask the question...If Enterolabs CAN diagnose gluten intolerance and CAN tell you you have the Celiac gene then what is the distinction? I think this comes down to people being comfortable having a definitive diagnoses that can only be done by biopsy of the intestine showing villi atrophy. Either way the prescription for better health and wellness...

    Good luck getting your FIL to do a gluten free diet strictly. My own father, after suffering needlessly for years now, and having been positively assured of gluten intolerance by Enterolab still won't strictly do the gluten free diet. He keeps telling me his D isn't getting better and that he is doing a gluten free diet but "oh - I didn't know fake beer has...

    I'm working with a functional medicine doctor myself. I haven't received the test kits yet but they should arrive today. More than likely that approach will tell you what else you might need. I can't wait to figure out the rest of my story. Keep in mind that each of us are different so taking supplements that work for someone else may or may not work for...

    Where did you get this test done and what is it called? Thanks!

    ARCHIVED Turbo-detox?

    Ken70 replied to ruthla's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Fresh juice made at home in a juicer with garlic, ginger and any kind of fruit or vegetables. I like adding lemons and limes too. The detox I did was 30 days of this along with herbal extracts that probably didn't help.

    I think it's 1000mcg which is probably the same as 1 mg. Not positive about this but I am taking 1000mcg doses twice a day. Seems to have helped. Today is the first day in two weeks a haven't woken up with vertigo and brain fog. I'm actually taking one of the doses while using the Elyptical machine as strenuously as possible for 1 hour. I personally believe...

    This link is slightly off topic but I found some info on Dr. Mercola's site regarding B12 and Vegan Diets. It has a ton of info. my brain melted down halfway through but here is the link Open Original Shared Link

    Funny, I was getting the B12 for the first time at exactly the same time as you. I'll trade you my fatigue, brain fog and vertigo for your rage. I'm use to rage, had it my whole life until I started controlling my blood sugar levels. So far I haven't experienced anything from the B12. I have taken 2 doses a day for 2 days. I'm hoping it helps me clear...

    That was me that made the analogy. Your point is valid but I stand by the analogy. I didn't say gluten was rat poison to everybody just those that are gluten intolerant. I've struggled with clever ways to describe gluten intolerance to people. It's hard. Think about how you felt when someone first told you that bread might make you sick. Impossible to believe...

    I'm thinking this woman really doesn't want to be going through a divorce nor is she looking for marital advice from the internet. My wife and family and friends and most of the rest of the planet pretty much thought I head my head up my proverbial ass when I first started explaining all of this to them. It has taken some time but I have gotten through...

    I'm having all kinds of different reactions including the first one you mentioned. I drank two bottles of wine one night a few months ago and had no hangover. I use to be known for my hangovers so this was a big deal for me. Recently I think I have been reacting far more to wine and alcohol than before. I am getting hangovers again, brain fog is back...

    I couldn't agree more.
