    Fruit is sugar. If you have found a "grain" without gluten, it contains very little protein, and LOTS of carbohydrate starch. I didn't expect a different answer from someone like you, but it was worth a try. Edit: Since your answer got technical, my low-carb explanation needs revision. The statement "* Your liver manufactures blood sugar in...

    If you first two posters are on the celiac diet, you should not be eating wheat, barley, rye or oats. Acceptable grains would include corn, rice, millet, teff, sorghum..... The other "grains" you say you're gonna start getting your proteins from, essentially have no proteins. Your understanding of carbohydrates is incorrect. Your digestive system converts...

    The biggest obstacle to curing autism is, autism is not a disease. It is a failure to develop "normally". People with diseases start out normal, and lose something. Medicine traces what was lost, isolates a cause or causes and attempts to regain what was lost. That process is not available in autism. Medical practitioners rely on proven treatments. Anything...

    Nope, I can't find anything. I found a site claiming dicalcium phosphate can be contaminated with mined minerals, but it made other charges which were pretty whack. Any vitamins could be contaminated with things not on the label. Apparently the croscarmelose is amine reactive, so an imbalanced system could theoretically react .......theoretically. Maybe...

    If you are allergic to clams it's a good bet you're allergic to iodine. If you are taking vitamin and mineral tablets to get your B12, they could have iodine in them. Check the label. Most of us live so close to the ocean that we don't need iodine supplements anyway. Also, because of my candidiasis, I react to dyes of all sorts. Iodine is a dye. Most pills...

    The point of my post was to draw you into exposing yourself ......and you did. You asserted: "At the risk of starting some kind of flame war - which I sincerely hope does not ensue....." It's truly apparent that's not correct, as is your assertion that celiacs are only accepted as people ruled in with two of the three available diagnostic tools. I'm not...

    Traditional medicine diagnoses celiac disease only with an endoscopic biopsy. Modern medicine has proven that to be incorrect. So medical science disagrees with itself. There are many stages and manifestations of wheat disease. Of necessity a proper celiac diagnosis does not use a combination of techniques to try and rule out non-celiacs. It uses the...

    Got it. Good luck with your diagnosis and your mom. ..

    If you stop eating gluten and get well without a diagnosis, what will you have missed? ..

    This is how I understand gluten sensitivity. Zonulin, in the presence of gluten, dumps your intestine's contents into the bloodstream. Then the dumped zonulin and dumped gut antigens attack tissue from the bloodstream. There are four manifestations of that attack, and only one of them represents an immune response to gluten. That's called gluten intolerance...

    Here's how I understand it. DQ2 is the most common gene in intestinal celiac disease. I think there are three iterations of it. As I understand it, that simply comes from the way antibodies are spliced and replicated from portions of chromasomes. It's referred to as "gene dose". For antibodies, there's an alpha side and a beta side. The beta side...

    This happened because of one thing, an incorrect view of medical science's capabilities. There are three types of autoimmune wheat disease. You have been tested for two of them. Medical science has not yet developed a test for the third type, because it does not involve antibodies to wheat. 1. Celiac disease 2. Gluten intolerance 3. Gluten sensitivity...

    I used to get that, or something similar. I fixed it. CAUTION: ......THIS MAKES A DEADLY POISON....... Have you ever accidentally mixed ammonia and chlorine? I have. That's what it smelled like ........chloramines .........AWFUL taste. 1. I started drinking purified water (more). 2. I stopped ingesting sweets. 3. I started eating plain live...

    ARCHIVED Sugar

    veggienft replied to bear6954's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut

    There's speculation that purified water may simply act as a bandaid, and not a cure. Pure water may merely work to absorb the ingested cause, or the offending body chemical. But we don't know the chemical cause, do we? A risk-vs-benefit analysis says, until we can find the cause and cure it, pure water could solve the problem .........and make your son...

    ARCHIVED Sugar

    veggienft replied to bear6954's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut

    We had the same problem with one of our children. It started at 18 months. Diagnosed celiac disease. We eliminated wheat .......better, but no cure. We eliminated sugar .......better, but no cure. Then we purified the water....... ........Voila Cured! As an adult now our offspring eats wheat and sugar, but can only drink drinks made with purified water...

    Try something like this. Take a fish oil pill and a teaspoon to a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil before bed every night. When cutting back on carb-based flow, it helps to complete the switch to an oil-based flow. You could be stuck in between. ..

    I don't make it a practice of calling posters out unless they 1. Give out irresponsible advice, and/or 2. Make a HABIT of harassing me. And this makes about the tenth time you've performed this exact little ego trip on me. A PhD in "holistic nutrition"? If that's a diagnostic tool, if it gives you authority over other posters, if your "training...

    Mitochondria are tiny engines within cells which manufacture two things from injested carbohydrates: 1. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the fuel of cells 2.

    This brings the number of wheat-induced autoimmune manifestations to three: 1. Celiac disease ......the intestinal immune system attacking the intestinal lining. 2. Gluten intolerance .......an autoimmune attack against organs in the circulatory system resulting from the intestine "zonulin dumping" its contents into the circulatory system in the presence...

    The paleolithic diet concentrates on meat, fat and veggies, omitting glutenous grains and sugar, and cutting out, or way back on, non-gluten starches. The idea is precisely to use oils and fats for energy. Coronaries don't come from eating fat. Coronaries come from atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is an allergic reaction to glutenous grains, sugar and...
