  1. icon Scott Adams reacted to a comment: A Critical Examination of the Inclusion of Celiac Disease in Disability Categories on Job Applications

    Scott, Please pardon my brain damage. I absolutely agree that the question of Celiac status should not be on a job application or in a job interview. But it should be accommodated for after hiring. I do not see celiac genes as defective. Rather, I see reliance on wheat as defective, and here’s why: The “Ancestral Haplotype” contains the DQ 2.5 gene,...

    I would like to see a survey of experienced celiac patients (2 years on the diet or more) who are in a technical career where you create (like code, for instance) with a computer and collaborate with others and the situation you commonly experience is someone says “Let me drive” and grabs your keyboard and mouse. The question for the survey is “Would you l...

    For celiacs like I and serafina, who have gluten ataxia and other neurological symptoms, mere listing of ingredients is not enough. Steven rated “gluten-free” with 5 different ratings, 1 indicating that the manufacturer does testing of the I product for gluten, 2 being no listed plant sources of gluten. Remember that ingredients can be contaminated, and my ...

    For 16 years I have relied on the website glutenfreedrugs.com to determine if a pharmaceutical is gluten-free. The website has been down for at least a week. Does anyone have any information about this outage, the status of the website founder and maintainer pharmacist Steven A. Plogsted or a phone number? I did not get a response for my email to glutenfreedrugs...

    Thanks for clearing that up.

    This comes from the work of Dr. Carl C. Pfeiffer Ph.D., M.D. I edited my post, indicating this is what my primary care MD told me. I apologize. Here is a link to a discussion, but this is not where I got my information: http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/thread30724.html Also: http://www.raysahelian.com/pyridoxal5phophatep5p.html This explains it best...

    I just came across this thread, which has been going a long time. I have the problem, too, and it's obviously hereditary, in both my parents and their relatives. Some of you have not gotten any relief from the gluten-free diet. I get the anger when glutened, but for me, there is something else that keeps it going longer, and causes the problem by itself....

    I have had a gluten-like reaction with chicken, but not all chicken. I have been told that any liquid that is injected into chicken would be broth containing gluten. So try some expensive fresh organic chicken. The cheep frozen chicken is likely to be injected with broth.

    If you have casein intolerance, like I do, you just have to avoid it like gluten. It's a different issue from lactose intolerance, and the pills won't help. There can be many different causes of joint pain, including arthritis. Other autoimmune diseases are associated with celiac. Other food sensitivities can be involved. I do suggest testing for additional...

    Gluten, or any food for that matter, does not necessarily get digested and metabolized before entering the blood stream. That is only what is supposed to happen. I have been shown partially digested fragments of food in my blood, under a microscope. That's from a leaky gut, with a lot of damage. People can have a leaky gut from other things, like a medication...

    I can really relate to being sick and tired of being sick and tired. A former coworker even wrote, sang and recorded a song about that for me. You are on the right track with all of this: the leaky gut, the candidiasis, the scd, the tests you want. I knew I had the leaky gut and candidiasis before I heard of gluten. Listen to your body. I spent thousands...

    My TSH was in range also. My doctor prescribed Armour eventually anyway. It really helps. She told me to take it every 4 hours, and if I'm late, I absolutely crash.

    I absolutely agree that consuming any amount of gluten is not a good idea for erikamarie.

    Yes, Echen, I have celiac, and this is one of my worst symptoms. After going gluten-free, from 2 weeks to 6 weeks I had a honeymoon period, where I did not have to go to my chiropractor. Then, due to a leaky gut and developing a lot of other food intolerances, the pain came back. I had it under control with a lot of foods eliminated, then after 4 years, the...

    What do you mean you have no ideas? You have plenty, and I can give you more. I'm extremely limited, due to my leaky gut. I can't do nightshades. I kept getting more sensitive, and I do get hit by fumes - symptoms are not as bad nor last as long - it affects me gastrointestinally and neurologically for 1 and a half to 3 months, whereas...
