I found this reporting in the Isareli (daily) haaretz.com it is (also) about new drug research to cure celiac disease. The year before, Devary took part in a seminar at Tel Aviv University together with a fellow scientist, Prof. Azriel Sandler. The seminar was about the discovery of new hormones consisting of peptides (protein chains). Insulin, which regulates...

Maybe I am too scientific-minded (in this question of mine here now), but i wd like to know (if there is a chemist here the question may be answered) what is the ingredient of "latex" that we react to? We dolknow that in gluten (wheat) there is a protein called gliadin which conatins opiate molecules. Is there some opiate in latex? (Not impossibble, I am...

geokozmo replied to eLaurie's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I am so glad my depression lifted. i suffered from it in all my 53 three years and then last year Is tarted to eat gluten-free and it lifted...in a few weeks. And also my compensating compulsive erotical manias subdued or diminished. I never have been so healthy - I also stopped all acidic food (because I have polyurea - intersticial cystitis). I am frightened... -
ARCHIVED Am I The Only One Who Can See The Link?
geokozmo replied to AliB's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
If you are the only one who sees this? as some member said it: " No, most decidedly, no. Most of us here see this...but unfortunately, most DOCTORS do not.........no money in it for them. " I agree. But slowly, partly due to these foirums, things will change hopefully. I thinktha bipolars autists and schizos who get better could raise their voice...Of course... -
My son is now 11 and I am fully there with him. I quite honestly have very hazy memories of the first 10 years of his life. I pretend when I see picture that they kind of jog my memory or maybe it's just the memories of the pictures themselves. I try not to think about that, I hope that made sense.

I also have this Jekyll-Hyde type of depression when I am glutenized. And it clears away if I pay attention to my diet. Strange. But doctors are not interested, probably because ifI am on a diet strictly their drugs are of no use. (And I dont use them anyway because they dont help me.)

ARCHIVED Bladder Problems And Celiac Related?
geokozmo replied to kayavara's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Yes, it is good, but a bit discourageing:it is clear that no hope for longterm recovery exists. In a site I read about tomato better avoided which is quite startling (since it has good antui-inflammation effects if used on sking, like akne). I wonder. -
ARCHIVED Does This Happen To Anyone Else?
geokozmo replied to jvalentine89's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Me too I get sleepy and depressed aftere ating gluten so I try to avoid it. But for decades I was medicated against manic depressive disorder. It is so good that this diet exists, otherwise I wd have to accept that I am very sick. This diet is not a sickness it is a way to recovery. Big difference. -
I used to be treated for depression in the past. My fatigue lifted since I am on a glutenfree diet. The connection is evident.

geokozmo replied to cdfiance's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Passing out may happen to celiacs but after being on tghe diet for a few weeks or months it will not happen again, that is my experience. i was even terated for epilepsy, now seeing the glutenfree diet helps my doctor says sorry. geo -

ARCHIVED Mood Swings?
geokozmo replied to madlinmom's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Yes I have the same symtom, complusion, anger, mood swings when (if by chance) on gluten. i do take sme vitamins but I dont see the difference. The main thing is to avoid gluten. If I keep my diet my mood is stable and I feel okay. (In spite of normal daily problemsolving issues.) Geo -
ARCHIVED I Dont Have Celiac, But Its Ruining My Life!
geokozmo replied to littleone's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Well, gluten free bread and pasta is just not tasty. Obviously because it does not conatin the main thing in gluten: opiates. So I never buy glutenfree. I just avoid normal berad and eat rice waffles instead. Wuith youghurt or jam or even ham it tastes like a real toast. Just my twopences. by the way it helped me a lot to go to 12step sites....
