    Type A here, The blood type diet is useful as one of 9 homeostatic controls of metabolism. Each blood type contains certain lectins that make you more susceptible to certain food intolerances.

    Celiac caused leaky gut and that is the main cause of food intolerance and food allergy, so testing is a good idea. The Lame Advertisement test is the best because it uses your white blood cell count as a baseling and therefore can even pinpoint intolerance.

    HI, I have celiac and am experiencing many allergies. I have some severe problems with digestion. Everything i eat from salad to oranges, comes out in my stool in pristine condition. I feel hungry all the time but my body is holding all my food so that I am constipated, like all the food is too big and undigested to get it out. My digestion is messed...

    I love Stevia and it takes like three minutes to get used to it. I only use the liquid kind and use a dropper. I eat no starch or sugar because celiac started messing with my pancreas (pancreatic insuffieciency and whacked out insulin). I have since found out that i am allergic to many things. The diets that have really help me are: The no-grain diet...

    ARCHIVED Weight Gain

    Mballerina replied to a topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    I also have the same issue with weight gain. I have always been very thin and then when i had my full blown celiac outbreak i gained 30 lbs in one month. Everytime i get near gluten i gain 10-15lbs in a week. Then when i am off of it i lose 10 lbs a week. There are so many issues and painful things that occur in the meantime that it is hard to get a handle...

    After I started the gluten-free diet i still had problems. I decided to eliminate all grains and that is when i discovered that i had additional allergies to milk and eggs and intolerances to nuts and mushrooms. I tried gluten again to see if maybe it was only an allergy or nothing at all and discovered that there are a few symptoms which only gluten causes...

    Hello When I have gluten, I actually gain weight. I am sure that half of this weight is edema but nonetheless weight gain, which is like 15 pounds in five days. ABout the irritability, it is an immediate reaction for me. Every second is like being trapped in a torturous prison that your conciously and subconciously aware of. YOu have rage about it, but...

    I have the same thing, real food makes me gag but sweets are great. My thinking is that my digestive system is so raw and unable to break things down that i start to crave food that is digested really easily which is sweets and simple sugars. I really really believe this because even if i want an apples or a piece of meat i can't swallow it.

    Thanks so much Peggy, That is very similar to mine. You have been a big help. I notice that no two cases are alike, you are very right. I used to get the clear things more often when i was younger (i ate way more gluten then) and my doctor told me they were nothing and actually cut them off with a razor and just left it at that. Thanks.

    I had Frangelico because i love it and then i started having a reaction so i emailed them. The lady said that they add wheat to the production process and then it disappears during distillation. Well this mysterious disappearance of the gluten gave me a reaction. I know it is often added to chocolate cakes in cooking to give the hazelnut flavor so becareful...

    I wanted to know the mild symptoms of Dh because every dermatological picture or explanation is of the most extreme cases. I would like to know the mild symptoms once and for all. I have scaly dry skin on my elbows with what looks like severe red razor burn. I have clear bumps that sometimes puss on my elbows. I get the same bumps in pink or clear on...

    Hey I am trying to figure out if I have more allergies. I am on an elimination diet but it sucks because it seems I am allergic to many things. I have been ill for so long that i feel like i am making it up or overreacting. Can you tell me your allergies how you figured them out and what symptoms you get when you eat them? Thank you so much for you...

    Hi I am 20 too and I know how you feel. I totally know. I went to school in NYC and had to come back, I spent $1000 USD on food alone in one month. Oh man if you wanna talk, I have a similar experience with the medicined aspect. I am extremely reactive to gluten and can't get a diagnosis (loove canada) and therefore can't get better. My parents friend...

    I was still excercising before i finally went gluten-free and I also noticed that before the diagnosis, in the span of two months I went from dancing everyday practically allday, I could barely run on the treadmill for 5 minutes without heaving. Then it all started to go downhill really fast. Fatigue so that i could not even lift my arms and sometimes i...

    Hey, I have had fewer bowel movements than most in my life. In the last year of these reactions it has gotten absolutely ridiculous. I have been gluten-free for two months and i have grown and my period returned for a few days. But the constipation persists and I was wondering if anyone can tell me how long this will persist because i can't go on being...

    If you have all the symptoms then you can go with the test being positive. If you have none of them then you should insist on a biopsy. I am 20 and found out about it two months ago. I have done 4 or 5 months of reading medical journals and still it is so frustrating for me on a personal basis. If you want to talk I would be really happy to be frustrated...

    I have a huge reaction from the tiniest amount of gluten. Even from touching something and then puttin my finger to my lip, it starts to tingle really bad. I am usually poisoned by stupid habits like that. But i here some people say that they don't feel it when they are not firmly gluten-free. My problem is that i feel it with the tiniest amount like...

    I have found that everytime i eat gluten I begin to binge. My hunger is unquenched. I feel so hungry and nauseous and have a migraine. The only time nausea and the migraines go away it is because I am eating. This has become very horrible and I cannot function. I can predict the whole course of it and it always lasts from 2 to 4 days. I am having sort...

    Wheat, rye and barley have the same type of protein in them that causes a reaction. Oats are contaminated with wheat protein in production. Corn protein is a different type of protein (made up of a different amino acid chain.) There are no different types of gluten sensitivity. What you are actually talking about is food allergy or food intolerance....

    i've read the nih report (as my doctors should) they tell me i am playing doctor and should not be reading 'internet junk'. i'm thinking of just paying for the enterolab test.

    SO my doctors yell at me for going gluten free, well it tool 8 months of pain so they can deal with it. They tell me that I can't have celiac disease because I have constipation and inconclusive serology, ha, even though I have all the symptoms. Well, is it a coincidence that I have suffered for four years ( at the beginning, 14, I stopped growing and...

    It may be gluten free but i get a severe reaction even if it just gets contaminated by someone touching it against any gluten accidently Maggie

    I finally have got my life a little bit on track after the last eight months of hell. Now the week after I get a job and get into a musical. where I have a shot at an awesome part. This is one of the worst gluten reactions I have had. Tommorow, my skin will be messed up, my whole body painful and swollen and I will have gained weight. How do I deal with...

    I agree that that anorexia nervosa has multifactorial causation as all psychological phenomena do. No one disputes the fact that there is not an emotional component and such. However, there is an interesting possibility between this emotional factor being further stressed by discomfort and pavlovian conditioning. For anyone to say that celiac disease could...

    Burdee, I totally agree with you. I have read the research in many studies, some note even related to eating disorders, some even on autism and other such things and it paints the picture that you are presenting. There are some interesting things that happen in the brain with neurotransmitters. Unfortunatly a alot of these studies are in there infancy...
