    Celiac often leads to Thyroid and anemia. Ask around here. Show of hands and most of us have these very issues. There are no "false positives" on the blood. Your Doctor is absolutely right. You are Celiac and you MUST eat gluten-free. Biopsy has a high rate of false negatives because damage can be spotty. If they dont take samples from damaged areas...

    Susie!! D-Mannose is a miracle for this. At the first sign I start taking it and I never get one. And I dont get that little sign hardly ever anymore. It is a safe natural sugar. Google it. And I hope it helps.

    No one is trying to be mean in here. We are all trying to help. Often the first response isnt the best one, but comes from good hearts. Protective gear might be the ticket. I wear gloves when I paint now. I resisted them for sooooo long, but I DO NOT want all of the paint chemicals I use everyday going into my skin. I love to paint, but it isnt...

    Yes, gluten-free chicken broth really helps. Buy extra virgin cold pressed organic olive oil and it DOES have FLAVOR!!

    When I was heavy....all I had to do was eliminate dairy and ALL sugars/refined carbs and the weight just melted off without any other effort on my part. So good luck to you!!

    I hated giving up potatoes...and tomatoes were even harder for me....but I did...and I am better for it. Dont forget SOY. I would take that out for awhile too. Do what you can of course. If you cut out all of those things, you will be on my diet...which isnt bad. I made grain free pound cake this morning. Yummy!! Check out the SCD diet...

    You have pretty much described my diet. I lost 5 lbs when I went gluten-free. Pounds I could not afford to lose. I have gained those back. Guess I will have to be patient..... Once again...awesome for you! And yes, body fat does affect estrogen. All of those old laddies trying to get rid of their "pooch" dont realize it is the only thing...

    I have never heard this either and I have a Phd in Holistic Nutrition. Now some might read that putting raw honey on sore nipples can ease the pain and help them heal faster. So dont do this and then let the baby nurse. This is just common sense though. I found letting my nipples get air everyday helped with the soreness that you get in the...

    I would eliminate all of the usual suspects (on top of gluten) for a week and see: Dairy, Soy, Corn, Eggs, Peanuts, Yeast, Legumes-beans, Nightshades and Citrus Eat a simple diet of: plain meats with spices, salt, veggies, fruit and nuts if you tolerate them. If all better, then reintroduce those suspects one at a time. Wait a few days between challenges...

    It will back up LESS! Once a week....STOP!!!!....that is a co-dependent relationship....You shouldnt need to see a practitioner more than once a month at most. She is out for $$$ if she is the one having you come back weekly. Now if YOU are the one asking to come back weekly....then you cannot blame her. This is just my opinion. Of course do what...

    Priobiotics are good for all of us. Just make sure they are gluten-free. It isnt a bad idea to do a parasite cleanse. Your naturapath doesnt offer this? That would be odd. A lot of peeps on here like Humaworm, but they arent shipping right now. You could try Renew Life Paragon. It is gentle.

    This experience has been great for my 12 y.o. daughter, because it has taught her to be so much more aware of ingredients and what she is putting into her body. I maintain a gluten-free house. My DH and DD can eat gluten foods outside only. And the other day, DD said, "Mom, I have to drink my blueberry tea on the porch because I read it and it has barley...

    Some rice milks arent gluten free even if they say so. Look for "Barley Malt" and call if you have too. I forget which one is NOT gluten-free because I dont drink rice milk.

    Intestinew is good.

    Here is a tip: Make sure everything you put in your baking recipe is at room temperature. Leave the eggs and milk out till they are room temp. Because if you put the oil in with "Cold" ingredients, it will clump up and not mix smoothly. Then when you bake, those little clumps melt and you get little oil pockets (most of it seeps out).

    How wonderful for you. It actually made me tear up. I am trying to "fill out" again. I am 39 though and I dont think I will get taller, but I so want to "look like a woman" again. Soooo happy for you.
  17. ShayFL
    No. You need to find someone to take over your duties there. Way too much CC....Way too much! I say this in fun. You could sell that one and open a "Gluten Free" bakery.
  18. ShayFL
    And there is a good helping of that as well....

    I mentioned early on that patients had died under his care. But got ignored. It pays to research things thoroughly. I also mentioned on another thread that although I think Mercola has some good info on his site, I read everything with a cocked eye because he "SELLS PRODUCTS" that go hand in hand with a lot of his "research" and some of his "guest...

    To quote a country song...."Yeah I've been there. That's why I'm here." ***hugs*** right back.

    I just got a book on Breast Cancer and lo and behold. Thyroid medications can shrink cysts and tumors. So maybe there is something to my line of thinking. I didnt watch the whole video. Hopefully he doesnt say or even "imply" that ALL are fungal. That would really blow a hole in his credibility IMO. There is so much we just dont understand. I firmly...

    Like you guys...I am skinny. I went through some horrible bloating for a few weeks after going gluten-free. One night I almost went to the ER. I looked 6 months pregnant. And it hurt and I couldnt breath easily. Gas Ex hardly touched it. Anyway....I have been taking Intestive, PepZin GI, Probiotics and Digestive Enzymes and NO MORE BLOATING!! I...

    You might try the SCD (Specific Carbohydrate Diet) as well. Follow their guidelines: Open Original Shared Link It started as a diet that was easy to digest for autistic children. But it works VERY WELL for adults too with a sensitive digestive tract. I am on it and have felt improvements. I added back in some seeds tho and am doing fine.

    Wouldnt hurt to do "Renew Life" Paragone. You can do Humaworm another time. Supposedly we need to do them a few times a year. Humaworm yielded nothing in the toilet for me.....I was hopeful......
  25. ShayFL
    You could try steaming the veggies and then whirling them in the blender to make a soup. Take digestive enzymes with your meals as well. And the probiotics can only help.
