    Hi Country Girl until your post I knew nothing about Fructose Malabsorption. Your symptoms you described are similiar to mine. I have been on the Celiac diet for over a year now. The major change from following the Celiac diet, was my severe sleep apnea. It went from severe to readings within the normal range. I have a "leaky gut", and Fructose a...

    yub7gdddddddddddddddddd`]]]] Things different, you didn't mention allergies to drugs, multi-chemical sensitivies, allergy to sulfa, sulfites, sun, eggs, corn, etc etc etc. Today I am being tested with UV to hopefully rule out Porphyria. Lupus also hasn't been ruled out. My health issues are many. MS has been ruled out. I have been diagnosed...

    Hi Simon, Until your doctors tell you have something to worry about with your lungs, don't panic. I have scar tissue on my lungs as well. I was told the scar tissue was likely resulted from Bronchial Asthma, and pneumonia as a baby. I am 56 this year. The doctors will continue to monitor. I was told I can't have NSAIDs because of the bronchial asthma...

    If your feeling better off gluten, why go back on it. My doctor gave a note stating I must follow the Celiac, diet, for rest of my life. For many years I was following the Gluten free diet (at the time about 50%), and my labs showed low celiac, most doctors would not have gave a positive diagnosis. Also I was told to do a gluten challenge, which landed...

    I live in Ontario, had to pay for some of the blood test. The biopsy is not a 100% accurate, and sometime a number of biopsy have to be run. I was following low gluten diet for years. When the blood work was ran, I was showing low Celiac. For a month before the biopsy, I was to eat as much gluten as possible (like a hundred times more than I as eating...

    Hi, I am both Celiac, and have a severe corn allergy. It is my understanding that people who are celiac, many also have a corn allergy. When I buy gluten free flours, I make sure there is no corn, soy, wheat, or milk in them. I don't have popcorn, or use corn starch. I read all labels, and my diet is quite limited. I can't take a chance gluten, corn...

    Some of the test are oovered but not them all. I had to pay $180 for two test I believe out of 4. My tissue Transglutaminase (sp) came back low celiac, plus other health issues which are associated with Celiac, gave me my diagnoses of celiac. Get your doctor to order this test (tissue transglutaminase). If you have been off gluten for a while, it is...

    I have severe obstructed sleep apnea, and a few Central Apnea thrown in for good measure. I have since been diagnosed with Celiac, and have followed the diet strictly. Before being diagnosed with Celiac, I was diagnosed with low vitamin B12, and I am Vitamin D Deficient. Since following the gluten free diet, my Diabetes has become controlled. Doctors...

    I am in Kitchener, just west of Toronto. I see a naturopath in Toronto, and hopefully soon a Rheumy. Don't work too hard. Hoping to talk again soon. Hugs Gerri

    I am new to Celiac (54 year old female), even though I have watched what I ate for many years. I had Gluten problems for many years. Always sick at Christmas, and holidays, acid reflux problems getting worse, vitamin D deficiency, vitamin B12 low, and a list of other health issues getting worse. Last year my doctor at the time told me to go Gluten Free...

    I couldn't understand until I fired my doctor, and got my lab work back, why my ex doctor told me to stay off Gluten the rest of my life. Tissue transgluaminase IgA *normal is less than 5*, my reading was 5. This number is the lowest level for Celiac, but the blood work was done during a time I was watching the amount of gluten and cutting back (had...

    Hi If I am indeed not Celiac, then the hell I went through was because of severe increase in my allergy to sulfites, which is in all gluten products. When I increased the gluten bread, pasta, and most baked gluten products, I increased the sulfites. I have had anaphalatic shock from sulfites. When I stopped the gluten, I also decreased the sulfites...
