  1. 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...
  2. 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...
  3. 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...
  4. 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...
  5. 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...
  6. 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...
  7. 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...
  8. 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...
  9. 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...
  10. 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...
  11. 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...

  13. 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...
  14. 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
  15. 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...
  16. Hi, I have been experiencing some kind of reaction that feels like an allergy almost, i.e. throat gets tight, fatigue, heat in mouth and tongue, shoulders stiffen up, after eating things with cumin or chili powder...since I usually use both together, i'm not sure if i'm reacting to one or both of them. Has anyone ever experienced this? I don't think it...
  17. Cheryl, I would highly recommend you check out the feingold website, feingold.org. My daughter goes into totally unreasonable rages as response to gluten, but also to food dyes (esp. red#40 and yellow, and these colors are in SO many foods and drinks), and also to aspartame and MSG. If all you are focusing on is the gluten, then he's probably still getting...
  18. I know, you're right But I really do get surprised by the junk that so many gluten sensitive people eat. When you are already dealing with a damaged digestive system, you really need high quality nutrition to heal, so it blows me away how much fast food and processed gluten-free crap people are willing to put into their bodies. As usual though, people...
  19. Look, bottom line is this: MCDONALD'S FOOD IS BAD FOR YOU. Doesn't matter about gluten in the least, it's siemply poisonous "food" that will clog your arteries and starve your cells of what they need to heal and survive!! I agree that restaurant food is also not good....home cooked FRESH ORGANIC produce, fruits, and meats is the only way to go. Then,...
  20. I think that anytime the body is raising up antibodies against invaders, many different body systems can be affected depending on a person's genetic weaknesses. You probably, like most of us, have a "leaky gut" so molecules that shouldn't, are getting into the bloodstream and then traveling right up to the brain, where there is also probably a leaky barrier...
  21. Didn't anyone see "Super Size Me"??? They let those McD's fries sit out on a counter for MONTHS, and they did not rot. They did not mold up , NOTHING. Those things are not food, whatever ingredients they have in them, so I wouldn't eat them even if they were 100% gluten/dairy free. They are still poison to this body and if they can't degrade after months...
  22. Your post says to tell you you have to stop eating gluten. Ok, YOU HAVE TO STOP EATING GLUTEN!!! Would you pour milk into your car's gas tank? No? Then why are you willing to pour poison into your own gas tank? You will sputter and sputter until you just don't run anymore. My mom died 3 years ago at the age of 72 of adenocarcinoma of unknown...
  23. For anyone who reads through the other thread on L-glutamine...take a read of this one as well. In the other thread (from 2005), they discount Dr. Russell Blaylock's research on l-glutamine. Let me just say that this guy is a NEUROSURGEON. And he has over 500 scientific references in his book "Excitotoxins". I"m not saying he can't be wrong on occasioin...
  24. She could be suffering from withdrawal symptoms. Here's a link and an excerpt about this--they don't mention stomach pain as a symptom however, but that doesn't mean it isn't related. Open Original Shared Link Celiac Notes: Opiate Withdrawal from Gluten and Casein? Opiate withdrawal from discontinuing gluten and casein? Cautionary note: sounds absurd...
