    Here is what I have found so far. You know, when I went into the book store a couple of weekends ago looking for "gluten free cookbooks". I found the section and "The MS Recovery Diet" literally jumped out at me. I bought it. I pray to God that this is the answer I have been looking for. As I research now, it is all adding up. I have the right gene...

    Is there a connection to DQ1 and MS? Im going to research that. I am starting the MS recovery diet. I have not been dx MS, but I have a lot of the symptoms and truth be told, I do not want an official dx of a disease like that. I had MRI's and cat scans years ago that were fine. And 2 different neurologists. Im not going back anytime soon. But this...

    I hold on to hope. I was "normal" at some point, so I can be "normal" again. I refuse to give in or give up!

    Right! I do not have DQ2 or DQ8. I wasnt thinking straight. The genes are oh so confusing. So I am DQ3 at least. It says: Serologic equivalent: HLA-DQ 3,1 (Subtype 7,6) It thought that meant I was DQ3 and DQ1 ??????

    HLA-DQB1 - Allele 1 - 0301 HLA-DQB1 - Allele 2 - 0602 The Enterolab Interpretations is confusing. I also had tests with Kimball and am negative for either Celiac gene. Am I DQ1? DQ2?

    I would like to know this too as I am in the same boat. 7 weeks gluten-free with no resolution of neuro symptoms. In fact I am in a pocket of worse symptoms at the moment. Anyone???
  7. ShayFL
    I am in the process of cutting out all legumes. I have neuro symptoms and am following the MS recovery diet even though I do not have MS. Anything that can heal my nerves sounds good to me. Anyway, the diet cuts out gluten, dairy, legumes, eggs and yeast. I am already gluten-free and DF. So now I am cutting the rest. In my research I discovered that virtually...

    Curious One....check your dates.....Seems you will be going gluten-free in the future.

    I think it is perfectly normal and o.k. to be selective in the early dating phase. Im talking a few dates. I have done it myself. Somewhere around 7 years ago when I was single, I dated a perfectly lovely man that had a bad back. I was a fitness instructor at the time and very active. I didnt let it go past 2 dates and then gave the friends speech. ...

    Im finding right now I need some yummies. So I have made teff/almond butter cookies (Bob's has the recipe only he uses peanut butter which I avoid), pumpkin muffins and banana bread. I tweak them to suit me. I dont do eggs, so I substitute ground flax and water. Add chia if I need more fiber, etc. I am fortunate that I enjoy experimenting in the kitchen...

    Im like Di....underweight. Many years ago I had a doctor tell me that I could not possibly be hypothyroid because I was thin and not constipated. Idiot. Sometimes you have to get a second opinion or a third or a fourth. I suffered for 11 years because of some really stupid doctors. So I finally just got all of the necessary tests myself (they dont cost...

    I think a big problem is a lot of people just switch from glutened foods to non-glutened which not only have less fiber but are way higher on the glycemic index. Im not eating ANY processed foods. Simple foods like fresh meat, veggies, fruit, nuts and baked goodies I make at home with whole grains. I avoid the rice flour....no fiber and will make your...

    Would be nice to be like Oprah...decide to go gluten-free and your nutritionist makes a plan and the chefs that travel with you do all the research and prepare all of your meals/snacks/drinks. All you do is consume....dang I want that!! I have cysts on my head.
  14. ShayFL
    That foil trick is perfect!! All of my friends/family are used to me bringing my own food. I have for many years. I went through all sorts of diets over the past 12 years trying to get well. They have been with me through "raw foodism", "vegan", "vegetarian", "whole foods", and now gluten-free, DF, DF. etc. The will joke with me a bit, but I dont mind...

    I dont know about my Dad....he died young at 38...self inflicted. But my Mom....always running to the bathroom and she had hashimots and thyroid cancer (both related to Celiac/gluten sensitivity). Some times she didnt make it to the bathroom on time. She knows I have the genes and she knows she gave me at least one of them. So she is very interested in...

    Yeast aggravate Candida. Some cannot even tolerate fruit sugar. Open Original Shared Link I have tested negative for it via blood, saliva and fecal. I am so glad I did. I would hate to try to follow that diet if I did not need to.

    Ostrich meat MUST be marinaded to taste good. It is pretty bland on it's own. It is ubber lean. I suppose it is a lot pricer than supermaket feed lot beef. I have found that the foods I can eat are more expensive than what most Americans are buying. I literally "work for food". But I am o.k. with it. I gotta work for something. It is so easy...

    Right now I am eating all meats (chicken, turkey, fish, extra lean beef, ostrich), all veggies except the nightshades, all fruits, gluten-free grains, all nuts & seeds. There is actually A LOT Of foods left to choose from. We just get into ruts with our eating and most people eat the same 10 - 20 foods day in and day out. I just made pumpkin muffins...
  19. ShayFL
    I would say YES to all of the above.

    I have actually lost weight. Weight I could not afford to lose. Down 4 pounds which doesnt sound like much unless you were too thin to begin with. And I lose it mostly in my face and shoulder area first. Everyone comments. And I feel they think I am anorexic or something. I hate it. But in my case when I cut out all gluten products, I started...

    It is one of my biggest complaints. I hate it.

    It is tough. I took my own food to my in laws for mother's day. I took some walnut pate and my own salad dressing to go with my salad. My MIL made roasted chicken fruit and salad because she knew I could eat those. She was very careful that nothing gluten got in them. She asked a lot of questions beforehand. Very nice. BUT she baked some fresh bread...

    Read the package even if it says "Gluten Free" on the front. I have bought two items with big red letters exclaiming gluten free with this warning on the back "processed in a facility that also processes wheat". One was some almond/rice crackers and another was lentil pasta. You MUST read.
  25. ShayFL
    I even read EVERYTHING if it says "gluten free". Ive been burned twice. "Gluten Free" on the front in big letters, but in small print on the back "processed in a facility that also processes wheat". Hope you feel better soon.
