    Ruth, the Procratin doesn't probably contain any living cells, but definitely can help you with insufficient pancreas. I've tried 5 Strain Dophilus from Swiss Herbal Remedies recently, and now I'm on Lepicol - funny stuff, looks more like a hay, but there is a lot of fiber in it which helps you to get some regularity into your digestion. I've just started...

    Yes, my improvement lasted about a week after my course was finished, and then it got even worse than before. It seems the bad bacteria can repopulate the place much faster than the good ones. I'm just trying a few different probiotics to see which one works better for me. Up to now, they seem to calm down my irritated intestines. Thank you for sharing...

    Tiffany, thanks for the great post. Have you got any clue whether it's possible to get casein-free milk? This would be a nice stuff - no allergy or intolerance possible, high in calcium, and because of low protein content, no buffering involved. Perhaps a good issue for the diary industry to work out.

    I don't know much about my eosinophil count, but I suppose having them increased is quite a standard in celiac. But, what's more interesting, cetirizini dihydrochloridum allergy pills label says that this stuff can hold the eosinophils back from moving. I took one pill 2 months ago for my pollinosis, and I noticed improvement in my gastro symptoms as well...

    It convinced her to run a series of tests for helicobacter infection, which finally turned out negative. But I have no idea what these tests can tell about other bugs. So I agree with you, and I'll keep nagging MARK gluten-free/CF since September 03

    Gillian502, I've been gluten-free for one year as you, and my antibodies are still raised. They are going up and down, sometimes negative, then positive again. I am sure I have had no mistakes, so I cannot really explain it. Also, my doc has been checking my blood for other food, and besides gluten & casein, a soy intolerance appeared six months ago...

    My bilirubin is also elevated, and it seems to be in relation with my elevated iron (when the bilirubin is high, my iron is high too). Haven't been diagnosed with Gilbert's. Seems strange to have high iron as being a celiac. But the intestinal permeability surely plays a role. MARK gluten-free/CF since September 03

    The main milk allergens are: casein a-lactalbumin B-lactalbumin and you can get tested for: cow's milk boiled cow's goat's milk mare's milk cheese-cheddar type cheese-mold whey Casein makes up about 75-80% of all milk protein and is heat stable. That's why it is found in cheese as well. Actually, the casein concentration in cheese can...

    I am 10 months diary free, but still having casein antibodies in my blood. So, I wouldn't worry to stop eating diary a week before testing. Or, to make sure, take a little bit the day before. Just to give you an idea. MARK gluten-free/CF since September 03

    IgA and IgG anti-gliadin test could be false positive sometimes, especially when there is another illness going on (as Gillian has already mentioned). But it tells you there IS something wrong about gliadin, and I would rather support Sarah over your doc. MARK gluten-free/CF since September 03

    After being 6 months diary free, my lactalbumine went negative, my caseine IgA dropped half down and caseine IgG remained almost the same as before. So, perhaps one year diary free and my antibodies will be ok. Just to give you an idea. I'll have another bloodwork next week, so I'll see more then. MARK gluten-free/CF since September 03

    Gretchen, the pain moves and changes quite often. In addition, deep breathing doesn't increase the pain. I can't remember any event (like hit, fall etc.) which could cause this. So, I don't likely think it is a broken cartilage rib, but thanks anyway. It's interesting how many ideas can people come up with. MARK gluten-free/CF since September 03

    Hmmm, the problem with Lactaid sounds like worrying about sugar in your cake, when you're gluten intolerant. Of course, some people get hard time digesting lactose, but caseine intolerance is no fun at all. To support Alexolua, I had absolutely no troubles with diary in the past, no matter of volume. I'm still pretty sure I could have a gallon of milk, if...

    Karina, thanks a lot for the costochondritis tip. I have done some searching on the web about it and it's possible I may have it as well. It can be cured with ibuprofen, which, as I already know, does work for me. I was a bit woried I may have a pericarditis, but hopefully it's not the case. Anyway, you bet it was hard to get rid of diary, I'm still craving...

    I have read that people with celtic origin are at higher risk in developing celiac. So, the conclusion about the Irish descent sounds reasonable to me. And obviously, guess what the celtics had on the menu. (My mother is German, my father is Czech) MARK gluten-free/CF since September 03

    Karina, they didn't tell me why my bilirubin/iron is high, instead of this, they were speculating whether being at high altitudes can affect iron levels, but as they found my erythrocytes normal, they couldn't give any conclusion. Next test I got into normal range, so they were not so concerned. They also mentioned Gilberts, and they told me some people...

    This is what I've found under this Site Index > Allergy vs. Intolerance > Will Other Foods Affect the Villi? To find out whether you have the other food intolerance, you need to run IgA and IgG tests for casein & lactalbumin (milk) and ovalbumin (egg). Don't know if there is any test available for the other foods mentioned. MARK gluten...

    I also need to be diary free, cos there is a protein called casein in the diary, and, by my opinion, it can cause some light damage as well, or at least keep you from healing faster. Enterolab does the testing for milk intolerance as well. Mark Gluten-free Casein-free since September 03

    Hi Karina, I'm Czech, so you'll need to be a little tolerant of my English. Your symptoms seemed to be similar to mine, so I decided to reply. I too have high iron/bilirubin, but not much, just a bit over the top limit. They seem to be related, when iron is low, bilirubin is low as well. I also have chest pain & palpitations, but there was nothing wrong...
