Hi Rachel...it's been months since i've been on here. Just to update you on my mercury removal...I've been doing it slowly since last November, and out of 14 to replace, I now have 4 left, will do 3 on Thursday. So far, no problems or reactions other than increased yeast infections and weight gain. I'm dreaming more, and my mental clarity is a bit better...

Hi, have you tried enzymes yet? I'm doing alot of research into them right now, and have recently started taking some...it's too early to tell yet, but there is aLOT of research showing the healing effects on the gut by taking digestive and therapeutic enzymes. Alot of the practical/anecdotal evidence is from the autistic community. Google, enzymes and...

Severe mood swings, irritability, rage and tantrums, can definitely be celiac related, but not necessarily from pain. When the intestines are damaged, tiny holes are created that allow molecules to escape into the blood stream and cross the blood-brain barrier into the brain. This causes mental problems. My daughter (9 years old now), was having SO many...

Chronic mercury poisoning from amalgam fillings is being found to be an underlying factor for alot of neurological issues (among other issues)...so i'd defintely look into that if you haven't already. The website iaomt dot org has alot of good scientific information on mercury issues and how to safely remove them. Mercury should not be in our heads inches...

Can't speak to that directly, but i've been studying alot about mercury from amalgam fillings and the myriad of damage in our bodies it can do, including neurologically. If I were you, if you have amalgam fillings, i'd look into finding a biological dentist who will work with you to have them safely removed (check out wwwdot iaomt dot org for more info) as...

Hi Rachel, Thanks so much for your detailed response and thoughts...there is alot to think about. The 30 day issue I think was one of Huggins recommendations, stating that actually the body is better able to heal when done in this fashion...but I will dig deeper for more support of that concept before doing it. I'm not in bad health at this time, but...

Hi, I hope it's ok to post about this topic...I know mercury is related to gluten intolerance as one of the underlying causes perhaps, so hopefully a thread purely about amalgam filling removal is ok. I've met with a dentist who seems to have a good protocol with removal as far as using high power vacuum, ventilation to outside, cold water, taking the...

Well, I had my daughter tested by enterolab before going gluten-free, she was positive, so then we've been gluten-free for 9 months. She just had a Dr. appt (first one sicne before enterolab test so the doc didnt' know yet), and since we were going to draw blood for a standard blood panel and also check her alkphos for bones, the doctor decided to run a...

My daughter had to have half formula right from the get-go because I had problems with my milk...after 5 months she wasn't breast feeding at all. BUT, she had digestive issues from the moment of birth (constipation). I think her intestines probably got damaged in utero becuase I had to take an anti nausea medication for 7 months of the pregnancy just to...

I can say from my experience with my 9 year old daughter that absolutely ODD is related (or can be ) to celiac/gluten intolerance. A year ago my daughter's behavior at home was so bad, rages, opposition, destructive tendencies, perseveration etc, that I started looking up mental conditions online, found ODD< and said, wow that is my daughter. I was...

Hi, i'm from Ann Arbor...just diagnosed last November along with my 9 year old daughter. We got tested through enterolab.com stool testing, both gluten and dairy/soy sensitive. I have the celiac gene, she has two gluten sensitive genes. I then got my blood tested which was also positive. For me, I did not have many digestive issues or malabsorption problems...

Thanks for everyone's thoughts. I don't think it's a gluten thing with the hot dogs...most hot dogs list "spice" or "natural flavorings" and this is where i'm guessing it's an MSG issue with my daughter. I've looked at the ingedients for Hebrew National and I can't remember what it was but I know there is something in them that I wouldn't buy... My daughter...

I cannot find a hot dog that does not cause problems. WEllshire gluten free all beef are the latest attempt--now i'm dealing with the usual gluten meltdown. It's either that or the Kraft jet-puffed marshmallows, with blue #1. But they have never caused this reaction before. anyone else experience problems with either one? thanks, Liz

Thanks for all the feedback, i'll have to experiment to isolate if it's the chili powder or the cumin. I ate leftovers with no problems though, the only thing I didn't eat was the corn tortillas...so maybe THEY are the problem. In any case I have had problems with some spices before, another one I had trouble with is nutmeg. And I had major issues with...
