    My husband has been wonderful through all of this. He gladly wen gluten-free in our house for me. He just wanted me to get better. And the "right" person for you will be the same. They will love you and just want you to be healthy. I know it can be hard, but try to keep a positive attitude whilst dating. We all have secrets. ALL of us. Confessing...

    What a relief!! And not that I hope other family members of yours have it, but if they do, you can ALL get healthy together. And eat at each others houses without worry. There are blessings along with the curse. May you find them all!

    Going gluten-free "before" labs can get you a false negative. If you want proper Celiac testing you MUST eat gluten beforehand for a good few months to hope for more accurate testing. It is VERY COMMON to feel like crap for a few weeks while you are "detoxing" from gluten. Yes, it is a toxin. And it is addictive as well. It fits nicely into our opiate...

    Im am feeling better today too. I had a bit of mucus, but none today. Mostly I want to see those gums regenerate. If it does that, then I will be a BELIEVER!!

    You dont need a doctor's permission to put him on a gluten-free diet. It is very difficult to get a POS result on children under age 6 when they have ACTIVE Celiac. So getting any POS result is very TELLING. His little body is reacting to gliadin and likely gluten as well. When he is 7 you might very well get a POS for Celiac, but the damage could be...

    Going grain free has been the best thing for me. I have not had D since and my food digests better (you can see the results in the loo). And I just feel better. I feel cleaner and not "yucky" if that makes sense. I personally do not follow SCD to a "T". But I am probably 90% following it. I allow the occasional sweet potato or plantain. I think removing...

    It stands to reason some of the fatty acids could be absorbed through the mucus membranes of the mouth. Sublingually if you will. And many oils have antimicrobial activities, so it makes sense that oil pulling could kill off bad guys in the mouth. Also the friction involved in swishing could certainly remove surface stains and debris. It is an interesting...

    I only ever took 1 pill a day of the Neem I bought. 2 might be too much.

    Let me offer this. With that TSH and that Free T3, it looks as Mother said that your pituitary is not working properly. A head scan is a good idea to look for a cyst or tumor near the pituitary. With regard to diet: tuna everyday = A LOT of mercury. It has one of the highest levels. The experts recommend not eating more than 1 serving of fish like...

    Day 5 for me on oil pulling for me. If you have never heard of it, google it "oil pulling". It is an ancient Ayurvedic form of detoxification and healing. It boasts many claims and I am primarily using it to improve my teeth and gums (something it supposedly excels at). It is inexpensive, perfectly safe and cannot hurt. So I am giving it a go and I know...

    The eyes are the widows to the "soul" not the "body".....LOL In seriousness, I've no doubt that every organ/tissue/cell can tell us something about what is going on inside of us healthwise. What I doubt is if these people can tell that. With many things I just go by my instincts. Detox foot baths....bunk....so I never tried it. Homeopathy...maybe...so...

    ARCHIVED Hair Color

    Keep in mind that 90% of the planet has black or brown hair...... I have brown hair.

    The "bulging eyes" is a symptom of "hyper". You could have hashi's only IgG mediated antibodies. With Hashi's you can swing back and forth between hypo and hyper. YOu should see a specialist.

    In my family we do not buy gifts for each other anymore, we all make donations to charity in the person's name. We usually donate to Heifer International, but this year we are going with Second Harvest to support all the people in the U.S. that do not have food.

    Yes...the endoscopy will take biopsies to look at your villi. They do make certified gluten-free oats.

    ARCHIVED Iodine

    The Japanese also dont do dairy, so they dont have years of consumption of a non-human food (dairy) filled with antibiotics and Bovine Growth Hormone. They also consume mostly a plant based diet with meat being a side dish (the opposite of the U.S.). There are A LOT of variables!!! But bottom line is the U.S. as a whole eats a horribly unhealthy diet...

    "Better life through chemicals"........NOT!!! I have not eaten commercially prepared bread since I was a kid. In my 20's I got into health food. Even though I had no clue about the "gluten" I only ate whole grain bread free of chemicals. Or made my own. It goes stale faster......but I have been suspicious of chemicals for years. I use natural hygiene...

    Your doctor can order them or you can get them on your own www.directlabs.com has them. It is a stool test and it is important that you do both a regular stool sample and a "purge" sample to get parasites that are further up in the tract.

    Thanks for posting that thread Patti. It shows that some reacted HORRIBLY and some not at all. So I conclude that the levels of gluten vary per batch as stated and if you eat Sami's you are taking a crap shoot with your health.
  23. ShayFL
    Yes according to your bloodwork you have Celiac. BUT dont stop eating gluten yet!!! They will want to do a biopsy on you most likely and you MUST be eating gluten for it to be accurate. Otherwise is you have a biopsy on a gluten-free diet and they say you dont have Celiac because it is NEG it will be a FALSE NEG. With your sister being Dx Celiac and...

    Keep in mind Eric that each batch of their product could have varying levels of gluten. Let's say they run a batch of their full gluten product and then the pizza crusts right after. It would have more gluten in it than say 3 gluten-free batches later after a gluten product. I know you love the taste and convenience, but be on the look out for future...

    I do modified SCD. I get kelp now and again with no issues. But my GI issues were minor to neuro. So if you have major GI issues best to do SCD by the book.
