    hey- i follow glutenfreegoddess on twitter- i havent tried any bread yet- but this girl Tia i follow on twitter- her sandwich bread looks DELISH: Open Original Shared Link

    or maybe it's not enough calcium absorption. Celiac messes up the absorption of many vitamins and minerals... and also can mess with the thyroid... in the thyroid i believe we make hormones that control the calcium balances with our bones

    question- is Psoriatic Arthritis another one of these illnesses that is common in Celiacs or people with Gluten Intolerance??? i'm curious

    ARCHIVED Spot The Gluten

    cassP replied to Marz's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    ive reacted to potato starch before... and corn products... not always- but sometimes- just too hard to digest. i got gluten free Pei Wei takeout before- and had the bloating and spastic intestines- and found out that they coat the chicken or shrimp in this gelatinous potato starch before stirfrying - so for sure- either the potato starch OR the HFCS in...

    i agree with above posters about IBS, and just wanted to add- that just the fact that docs use the term: "Idiopathic" is proof that they still dont know so much! they're not trained to correlate illness with diet at all... the more i learn about our genes & our diet & our environment- the more it seems there really is no mystery at all

    oh- you're not in America?? cause Stonyfield is at all the normal grocery stores here- you dont have to go to a "health" food store to get it. hmmm... it's a great organic product- maybe you can find it online??

    ARCHIVED Metamucil?

    cassP replied to Lori2's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    oh NO! this makes me sad!!!! i hope someone triple checks OR finds another brand for psyllium that can be confirmed as gluten free! doesnt matter how good my diet- sometimes i gotta have some psyllium

    i really like this kind- that i buy at whole foods: Open Original Shared Link i love the blueberry

    did the doctor only schedule a colonoscopy because of your health insurance?? my Gi said (with my catastrophic insurance thru United)- that i was only allowed ONE procedure. i went with the colonoscopy just to rule out all the other serious illnesses because i was already familiar and ready for a gluten free diet regardless. but later, as i am one of...

    thanku for that- very interesting FM- check Depression- check i feel so much better physically after taking out the major fructose culprits... but still having some trial and error with other fruits & veggies

    an article out of the Celiac Research center in Columbia University said only 1 out of 6 Celiacs display gut symptoms

    omg, just been on google trying to find the brand name cause i forgot, and i cant find it anyways- there's tortilla chips at Whole Foods i LOVE. i sometimes have a sinus attack- cause i DO have a problem with corn, but some of you guys dont this brand has maybe 4 different flavors: Black Bean, Sea Salt, Nacho cheese flavor?, ?? they're made out of...

    ya! like several posters said above-> Celiac is NOT diagnosed from a colonoscopy biopsy... ONLY from several biopsies in the Small Intestine thru an Endoscopy. but it really doesnt matter- with the +EMA & a Ttg of 48- i would diagnose u with Celiac i would advise u find a better educated GI doc- esp, cause u might want to see a good one in the...

    i COMPLETELY understand- & my problem with the Paleo OR any other diet out there that is prescribed as a ONE SIZE FITS ALL- is that WE'RE ALL DIFFERENT! i absolutely feel fantastic on nothing but meat & veggies... but a friend of mine did the no carb thing, and she ended up in the ER with kidney problems.... anyways- back to your point about...
  16. cassP
    i WOULD. gluten is no good for u- especially if you've got a DQ gene- they're all Gluten Sensitivity Genes... even if u dont get a Celiac Diagnosis. your brother has Celiac tho- so i would be suspicious- at the very least- u know with a DQ gene- you should avoid it. BUT if a Gluten Free diet hasnt helped your IBS YET- stick with it, AND also look at other...

    of course its a disease- its a real serious thing that if untreated leads to innumerous illnessess- sometimes fatal i just think like the article i read put it (maybe they're more eloquent than me- )- that we're not "weaklings"... and that our bodies are just super intelligent and KNOW what our poisons are... i read that an estimated 30% of the population...
  18. cassP
    i wonder if some of us just have overburdened & tired Livers and Gallbladders- from years of prior gluten.... cause usually if u get nauseaus like an hour after eating- it could be liver or gallbladder... ??? idk... i did a few Liver Flushes over the years- they are a real real huge pain in the a tho.. plus- i only had 1 flush that was actually worth...

    in regards to your statement that we maybe we shouldnt call Celiac a "disease"- there's a website called www.greenmedinfo.com ... they wrote a HUGE article on Wheat & Gluten & Celiac- and i LOVED how they worded it- they said the same thing- that it's not really a "disease" but that those who are not genetically evolved to digest gluten actually have...

    OMG i want this RIGHT NOW im so hungry
  21. cassP
    yes- abnormal dents in the nails or teeth can be related to celiac.

    Lucia- how long have u been gluten free? and before that - how MUCH gluten was in your diet? i DID have the issue with even JUST WATER- i remember it at work one day- i was fine, and then i just drank a glass of water- and i felt gurgles in my intestines & thought i was gonna have the "D"- & i even complained about how even JUST WATER was messing...

    Marz: it sounds to me like u had a virus or a parasite that triggered Celiac or gluten intolerance...
  24. cassP
    omg... was just on google- looking up Keratosis Pillaris, Atopic Dermatitis, Excema, Folliculitis, etc, etc... some of those pics SUSPICIOUSLY look a LOT like DH... some are DH for sure.. 1st i wanna say-> i hope that you people start posting pics- i am totally tired of going on google & having to see graphic pics of people's nether regions G-Rosss...
  25. cassP
    so tired of our docs not knowing about Celiac.. of course in their defense Big Pharma doesnt teach them about it in school- still- they have google like we do i just read an article out of Columbia University- that ONLY 1 in 6 Celiacs have gut symptoms!!!!
