    I have come to this thread rather late in the day as I wasn't posting anywhere but the SCD thread for a while, but it is very interesting. I didn't have narcolepsy, but I used to get periods where I would just become so fatigued that it would take all my effort not to lay down wherever I was. I have now realised that it was my digestion that was the problem...

    I was very obese before going gluten free. I lost some because my digestion was so bad I could hardly eat anything, but although I hoped that dropping the gluten was the key to weight loss, it didn't happen. The thing is, I was told years ago that I should eat low-carb, and whilst I did, I would lose weight and feel great, but as others have said, it...

    It may be that the damage to your intestines is preventing the formation of or access to, possibly due to an excess of mucous, the particular enzymes needed to digest the onion family. It may not be that it is the onions that are causing the problem but they are an inadvertent victim in the process. Do you get any other types of reaction to any other...

    If anyone is still having sleep/nightmare issues even after dropping gluten, please check out the Specific Carbohydrate diet (SCD). There is a thread on the 'Other Food Intolerances' section. Many of us who have still been suffering with health issues even after removing gluten actually have a problem digesting carbs. The SCD works because it removes...

    Sorry, didn't mean to infer that you might have ASD! Just pointing out the link connecting it and the toe-walking with gut damage. As ASD is quite likely to be caused by some kind of neurological damage then the gut/brain link is certainly a reasonable assumption in that case. At the end of the day though, not everyone with neurologcal damage will...

    The toe-walking thing is often associated with Autistic Spectrum Disorders and could well have its root in digestive issues as many Autistic children and adults have digestive problems. The nerve meridians are all linked within the body - before becoming gluten-free I used to get a lot of restless leg and itchiness in my feet so I would suggest there is...

    Although I now seem to be able to tolerate eggs (I couldn't initially after going gluten-free), I don't eat them very often, so perhaps that has helped. I have a theory though. You know how stuff can cross the body into mothers' milk when breastfeeding - I am sure a similar thing happens to eggs. The longer we get away from gluten the more sensitive...

    I have just figured out that I am a fast-oxidiser 'Protein type' through the Metabolic Typing Diet questionnaire. I have always known that I need plenty of protein and can't cope with carbs, but at least now I know why. My genetic make-up dictates that I can't process carbs very well at all and should not be eating them. I can have some dried beans ...
