ARCHIVED My Leaky Gut Is Fixed!
Genie75 replied to emilyjean's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Hey there! Glad to hear you have recovered, and have a supportive doctor. I agree wholly with the probiotics. I was told by my ND that I have to take them for the rest of my life. So I take them all the time. The Ultra Flamx did not work for me. As I have recently found out why is because I don't digest carbs. I have found the digestive enzymes work wonders... -
ARCHIVED Finally Figured Out Why I Have Been So Sick
Genie75 posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hello All, After wracking my brain over and over again, talking to doctors, people, and lots and lots of thinking, I have finally figured out why I have been so sick since last November, and why the previous few years I was doing so well on the gluten free diet. I am a self-diagnosed celiac, mainly because by the time they decided to start doing... -
I Eat Like a Bear Fish and fruit is mostly what I eat. Just like a bear. Think what you like of me. Don't try to fix me. If a bear ain't eating it, Neither am I. Ever see a bear eating mashed potatoes, beer or cake? Yup gonna eat like a bear!!!!

Hello, I am just posting to say that I am feeling better today. In sheer exasperation I stopped eating and started fasting. I fasted for 24 hours, and I went into a health food store to buy a D-Tox kit. Inside the D-tox kit was the "Wild Rose Meal Plan". I think I have heard of this diet before, but it gave me renewed hope of how to eat and be happy...

ARCHIVED Gluten-free And Symtoms Have Gotten Worse.
Genie75 replied to sarabmore's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
It's quite possible you have Irritable Bowel Syndrome as well. IBS is a very difficult condition to deal with, and there are special diets to deal with IBS, and many IBS triggers, and a lot of the triggers differ for different people. I have to deal with both IBS and Celiac Disease unfortunately, which makes things very tricky and I have a lot of days where... -
Anyone know of any good calcium and magnesium supplements? I was taking a really good natural product that came in capsules, and it really helped for me PMS a lot. However, since I have developed this pain in the side I have had to stop taking them because I get that pain in the left side (colon spasms) when I take them. Anyone know of any, preferably...

ARCHIVED Depressed - Troubles Eating
Genie75 replied to Genie75's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hi ShayFl, It is good to hear from you! If you can do it, I can do it! You have no idea how good it feels to hear of someone else who is on a very restricted diet. That is my main problem. I do not have enough support around me to eat the way my body feels best. And I suffer dearly for it. I have the gluten free thing under control, as I have been doing... -
Hello, Just dropping by for support. I posted a bit around Xmas time. A month before Xmas I became a SelfDiagnosed Celiac. Before that I didn't know there was such thing. I had been eating fairly gluten free for 10 years, as it was the only thing that got the diarhea under control. Unfortunately, I don't know why, things got substantially worse last November...

Sounds like you are suffering from depression, which can be a difficult thing to cope with. I too cannot eat any processed foods, even rice flour foods set me off. I am on as natural of a diet as possible. Root veggies like potatoes, yam, etc seem to go well with me, and I follow the paloe diet quite a bit. Lately I have been OK with millet. With gluten...

ARCHIVED Does This Ever Become "instinct"?
Genie75 replied to Molecular Dude's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Yes I think it is something I will always consciously think of whenever I eat. I still eat with people who do eat glutens, and I encourage them to eat as they usually would, and not to deprive themselves of anything cause of me. And I advise them that I can manage myself and what I eat. That they don't need to worry about that. So I do have to be careful... -
Keep gluten free snacks around you at all times if possible. I love all kinds of dried fruits, dried mango, sun-dried figs, dates, nuts, seeds. Carry your special treats with you every where you go. Keep you own special gluten free stuff to eat when you get the cravings. That's what I try to do, cause I am most likely to inadvertently eat something with gluten...

Hi there, All my tests are always negative as well. I've had the small bowel biopsy twice now, the blood tests, the allergy test. Always negative. Unfortunately, no-one told me that didn't mean I wasn't Celiac. That lead me to misundertstand, and eat glutens whenever I was "better', and then get sick again. What I finally learned is that I have to eat...

I found this interesting article at Open Original Shared Link (or just google "Celiac Candida connection"). I found this article very interesting because I started taking 3Lac about a year and a half ago. 3Lac kills Candida overgrowth in the digestive system. I have had problems with eating glutens for 11 years now and am a self diagnosed Celiac. However...

ARCHIVED A Few Questions About Candida....
Genie75 replied to jmengert's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Hello, I have lots of good things to say about ThreeLac. It is one of the few and only things that has made a difference for me. It is costing me a fortune, but I know it helps. I really want to discuss 3Lac with anyone who is currently taking it, or has taken it. I started taking 3Lac about a year or so ago. What happened was I was having nightsweats... -
I had thought I was cured too several times. Be very careful. It is easy to think that when we are "better" and not having any problems, that we can eat glutens again. I agree getting rid of sugar and candida helps tremendously for digestive issues. But be wary, your symptoms may crop up again if you go back to eating glutens. I have noticed that my gluten...

Hi Carol, I am going a bit thru the grief also. I just want to say though, that I don't have a celiac diagnosis from the doctor, and my celiac test results were always negative cause I was eating gluten free before the tests. No-one told me that having negative test results did not mean I was not Celiac. If someone would have told me this years ago,...

Hello, I am sorry to hear you are having such troubles with food. I too have been there and felt like all food were poisons. I have finally "recovered" after a very bad 2 month bout that went a bit into Xmas. When I have one of those bouts when my body rejects all food, even vitamins, everything, I have tried the post-gastro diet, which consists of day...

Hello ravenwoodglass, I am new here. I don't really want to introduce myself on someone else's thread. I see you have spent a long time getting the Celiac diagnosis. This now gives me hope that maybe I will get a Celiac Diagnosis! LOL. My tests are always negative. Finally, one day I called up the Celiac association, and they said that I have to eat...

Hello SickChick, Sorry to hear you are "sick". I can relate though. I have been sick for, well off and on, mostly on, since May, but the last 2 months or of 2007 were not good for me. I can so relate to the list of foods I can eat, and the list of foods I can't eat. I have a big list I keep modifying as well. Some I have to take off the "can eat" list...
