    I know this is already a few months old but because I disagree with most of what was said here I want to post my opinion for the sake of future readers. First, unless I missed something I didn't see anywhere that the OP said he/she had celiac, all I saw was “gluten sensitivity” which is not the same. In a video I saw a few months ago on Youtube, (and whi...

    I realize this post is now 8 mo. old and the OP may not need help but I noticed NO ONE answered her question regarding the anti-depressant he/she was taking and that bothered me because from what I've learned the answer could be "yes", but that would depend on which a/d it was, some can actually help weight loss. But since several SSRI a/d contain fluoride...

    Hi and welcome! Besides having studied Cosmetology, which led me to participate in hair forums, I also was studying Holistic Nutrition so I know quite a bit about nutrients, and one that I researched and has a lot to do with hair health but is also related to PCOS is iodine, please read go Open Original Shared Link. Biotin is part of the B-complex and...

    I didn't know celiacs could suffer from constipation! That was the story of my life, in fact, I had intestinal/digestive problems on/off since childhood but the bane of my life was constipation, then in the last couple of years began having both intermittently and finally very directly after eating wheat sometimes, so it's very possible I already had problems...

    NightOwl replied to Mr Happy's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Great story Mr. Happy, thanks for sharing it! And congratulations on your many improvements in such a short time, it's very likely that the rest will follow as time goes by. I feel exactly like you, no way I want to put my body through more suffering (now that I finally "got it") just to get tested. I don't know if all my problems will resolve in time...

    Three weeks off gluten is hardly enough to start reversing anything, at best some lucky people might get relief from diarrhea and other acute digestive problems but anything else would take months, even years to heal if the damage is not too great. When I didn't know better I'd tell people to go off wheat for a week or so to see if it would make a difference...

    I just posted on the thread "Wheat Belly" and you'll see my opinion of why I think it's not reasonable to eat wheat every single day even for those who are "healthy", so if there are more reasons, it makes even more sense to "approach it with care". As far as I'm concerned, it's all a "conspiracy" to sell more wheat products, even the skewed Food Pyramid...

    I read this thread about a week ago and did a search on Youtube and found several videos with Dr. Davis, what he said really supported what I'd read quite a few years ago about wheat being hybridized/genetically modified. I once saw a video about allergies where a Chinese doctor suggested that we do not eat the same foods every day, his opinion was...

    Hi, I'm kind of new here but I want to welcome you too and tell you that I totally understand your frustration, this is a hard thing to accept! I'd joined here several years ago but at the time wasn't sure I "belonged" here as I've never been officially diagnosed; also the forum didn't seem too active so I eventually forgot to come back. Through those...

    Hi, one thing I learned over the years of my "playing" with eating gluten (because I've never been Dx'd) is that there comes a point when one doesn't feel well at all when stopping, to the contrary, the last 2 times I quit gluten (and dairy which makes my chronic nasal congestion worse) I couldn't understand why I was feeling SO ultra-fatigued and depressed...

    Hi, thanks for responding to my post, I had not yet figured out how to get notified by e-mail of replies so I just coincidentally came back around here and saw you had replied. I'm glad my post offered something, I'm sure we all have experiences that can be useful to others. I now have to "educate" my sister who believes eating gluten occasionally is...

    Thank you very much for posting this, after watching it I went on to find longer videos of a lecture by Dr. Davis (in 2 parts) in which he explains everything in more detail and I've just posted them to my FB wall and also to my sister's wall because our father was a celiac and my sister never took it seriously and fed him wheat whenever he wanted it and...

    Hi everyone! I actually joined this forum in 2007 but stopped coming here, at the time I lived in W. Palm Beach, FL but 2 years ago I moved to SC. I am a 50+ divorced mother of 2 adult children, and I have a beautiful 2 y.o. granddaughter. I have never been diagnosed w/celiac but my father died as a consequence of it and I'm sure that's what killed his...

    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    Thanks! Regarding Publix I wouldn't say they carry "a lot" of stuff but, yes, I've been able to find some Bob's Red Mill products, breakfast cereals and Nut-thins (crackers).

    What caught my attention about your post is that you say you crave a lot of sweets. Since that has been the bane of my existence for close to half my life, I feel I can give you some advice because even though you've been given some good advice here most of it assumes that everything is "normal" with you and I don't think that is the case. I feel that unless...

    Hi, have you ever been given digestive enzymes? I think it's worth considering rather than resigning yourself to not eat a lot of foods that normally are essential for good health. Besides, the inability to digest some foods usually leads to more and more intolerances as time goes by. I had this happen to me shortly after I had my son (25 years ago......

    Great reply! I've self-diagnosed accurately several times, when I did choose to go to doctors I was often misdiagnosed and/or their tests either failed (like an expensive allergy test I had to pay for out of pocket which came out negative...) or, if lucky, they just confirmed what I already knew; now that I'm older I listen more carefully to my body and...

    I know this is several hours later and I hope you are doing well now but in case you're not or in case there's a next time here's a very simple remedy to try: Put a pinch of salt in your tongue and drink TWO glasses of water right away and then relax. This is from the book "Your Body's Many Cries For Water" and you can read more at Open Original Shared...

    Hi, I've been lurking around for maybe a couple of months. I registered on the 1st of Dec. but didn't get around introducing myself so here I am now! My name is Raquel, I'm a 55 y.o. single mother of two now adult children (but we still live together). I live a rather boring life because due to still ongoing health problems I stopped working 7 1/2 years...
