    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    Well I think for me it isn't necessarily Celiac...but probably a spectrum of intolerance with dairy and wheat. I think for me its about knowing how to eat these foods...and listening to my body. My problems in the past were from not eating them correctly...gulfing down these foods. If I ate enough of them fast, it literally could put me in a opiate haze...

    Well I don't know what to say. I started eating wheat again a few months ago, and basically been eating it everyday. I guess gluten-free showed me what wheat really can do... I still think it oddly contributes to depression...but only if I start eating too much of it... I think its just if I eat it too much, and that includes diary too...then it...

    Thanks so much Rachel! So, if I ended up NOT having the celiac genes, then the chances of me having damaged villi are probably small? But then again... I could still have villi damage from say, candida? I think I do want to test the genes. If I have any celiac genes then I'll go for blood test and maybe biopsy. I wish I could someone just look inside...
  5. CuriousOne
    Lets say I can't get a biopsy. If I got my genes tested would this help me determine if I have villi damage possibly occurring? For instance, if both of my genes were celiac...that would be a good indicator? But if they weren't, then I would then know that I DO NOT have villi damage? Anyone know the answer to this riddle...

    DjoyG - Thats the thing. I am taking a large amount of these particular vitamins. And honestly they really -do- make a difference. I know its not placebo. So that may mean that my villi are healing, and I just happen to have enough villi to absorb this stuff.... or, that I'm taking -enough- of it to smother the remaining villi I have? I really don...

    Thanks AndreaB, I just don't understand it logically. Why would it need to 'build up'?? I thought it was a reaction to gluten at the villi, where your body autoimmunes it... I'm just confused... I didn't continue to test the gluten as I don't think I can afford to do that right now. Plus its like, geez.... why would I have gone through all this... and...

    Yesterday I felt like testing myself. I ate 5 bowls of special K cereal. 3 granola bars (with wheat). At lunch I had a few small sandwiches with wheat. I don't know why but I just felt like it. Honestly I have not eaten gluten in probably 6 months. However the past few weeks this is the 2nd time I have dabbled. So far I don't feel anything. No GI compaints...

    You probably still need more months to heal your villi if thats the cause of your issues. Since I've started taking large doses of B6/zinc (plus some magnesium and sublingual B12)... I feel way better mentally... kinda like taking an SSRI is how it feels to me in some ways. I find personally dairy "seems" to make a difference...although its kinda subtle...

    Maybe u have those feelings to sort of try to pep you up out of the zombiefied state you are in when glutened...?
  11. CuriousOne
    Maybe there definitely is something either eating your food before you get it, or that you don't have much villi to absorb your own food... I think the key is how does it look when the food comes out the other side you know what I mean? I'm not an expert though maybe some other people can chime in. I just started this thing where I only eat if I'm hungry...
  12. CuriousOne
    you don't think you have a big worm inside of you stealing your food? well... , maybe that wouldn't make sense since your symptoms started when going gluten free... hmm... sorry if that grossed you out..! Do you think its more of a psychological thing??
  13. CuriousOne
    Well if our small intestines are damaged we will not be absorbing some of these vitamins. I was just reading about a condition today called Pyroluria. The basic idea is that because of a genetic malfunction, people of this nature lose lots of B6 and zinc...causes many issues notably anxiety. But I wonder how much anxiety in general is just caused by...

    I just had a bit of ice cream. I'm still going to get off it. I think it won't be too bad. But I wanted to slow down the withdrawal if that was what it was. So my plan is to have 2 scoops of ice cream either tomorrow or the day after...or as long as I can go before it gets too bad. Then that will be it.
  15. CuriousOne
    Did anyone else get withdrawal symptoms coming off dairy? I don't feel too bad, but I'm wondering if I'm getting some anxiety... In other words, I'm not sure if the situation I am in, should be giving me so much anxiety... like if its real, or if its because I'm withdrawing from dairy. I wish I could tell because...well... I'm trying to make decisions...
  16. CuriousOne
    Well strange... you know I never did have GI symptoms with gluten (or so I can remember)... But it wasn't until I really tried cutting it out, that I started having GI symptoms.. Today is my first day pretty much away from dairy, and I have to say... it seems like everything seems more real to me. Like, I was watching a movie and it was so rich...the...

    I think dairy makes me very zoned out from the world. I guess...like it makes me not care or be aware so much of other's feelings. Maybe if I have a leaky gut I absorb way more of the opiate-type chemicals than most people? I don't know. I do know though, that when my sister takes Oxycotin (sp) (for pain) I notice she becomes less aware of other people...
  18. CuriousOne
    Thx everyone I've decided to cut it out. Today is my first day. I'll report back if I notice anything neat... i was craving it a bit today...but I KNOW tomorrow will bring the biggest cravings, and i'll probably be somewhere on the internet looking for logical rationalizations on why its okay. Right now I'm cutting it out mainly because of the estrogens...

    By the way sorry if I came across harsh everyone was trying to help. And maybe you have done stuff that has truly helped you. This has been my own experience and I believe it could help so many people, since it is built on the way we actually work within the larger functioning of our world.

    Okay lets pretend: you were out in the wilderness away from all artificial lighting. within a few days you would be sleeping at night... you would start feeling sleepy near sunset, and waking with the sun at sunrise!! the light controls our hormones... we are built for it... so i would say, go to lowbluelight.com and order one of their lights...
  21. CuriousOne
    Well it got me thinking... If we have leaky guts... Then we probably are absorbing caffeine from coffee much more than lots of other people... so we end up with more circulating levels of caffeine in our bloodstream... I think one reason people drink caffeine is because it has a purging effect on the intestines... If you can imagine an intestinal tract...

    Here is something interesting! I was googling a bit and came across a few studies they did on cows. Here is one: Open Original Shared Link Anyways, basically (from what I read) it appears they found feeding the cows soy damaged the villi greatly. Also feeding them just a milk-substitute with casein caused the villi to change, although not necessarily...
  23. CuriousOne
    I wish there were actually people doing studies to see how dairy blunts villi etc etc. Anyone have any real links? As much as I want to believe it, where is the proof??? I seem to find, that if I eat dairy...but I drink wine everyday...the wine seems to flush out anything that is gooey in my intestines. But how can I prove that? Well its just from observing...
  24. CuriousOne
    I'm not sure if I have issues with dairy. I think I may, but not sure. If you had issues with dairy would it be obvious?? I started eating ice cream about a month ago, and noticed I digested it fine. So I started eating it more and more. Recenlty it got to the point I had to have it everyday...and usually I would have 1 quart a day at a time. Sometimes...
  25. CuriousOne
    Sounds like a predicament... From what I have read...its basically that you just don't want to eat things that feed candida... But there are many different theories too... You could try those capriyllic acid (sp) caps...and eliminating certain foods like Rice Guy mentioned. I thought I might have been struggling with it the last month... i started...
