    Pele, I'm sorry, too. I'm used to this since I was a teenage girl... Can't count how many people suggested I'd go find a good psychiatrist Twentyfive years ago I was totally unsure and scared thinking that maybe they were right and I was really nuts - but nowadays I just laugh at people and tell them that if I hadn't got this tick about nutrition I was...

    Hi Jan, yes, I know exactly, what you mean with eating chicken soup for the rest of your life when it only helps! I just feel the same way. Vomiting is the worst thing I can imagine, so I wouldn't do the gluten challenge either. It is possible that gluten intolerance can cause fructose malabsorption - it did it in my case - so maybe you should be a...

    Hi Jan, like you, I never had C or D problems caused by gluten (maybe that's the reason why no doc ever thought of it). I had nausea after everything I eat except raw fruit and veggies for 30 years, and I also found it helpful to have something raw as a starter to every meal. You're right, it's to do with the enzymes of raw fruit and veggies. They get...

    Ali - you're right, this is frustrating! And yes, I'm wondering, too, if it could again be kind of microbe which I'm unable to detect. As I work with people and very often with sick people I came in contact with dozens of colds, flues, stomach bugs, bronchitises and sinusitises over the last month... First I didn't realize it was asthma which was returning...

    Feeling like the lone prophet in the desert, isn't it? Actually I'm regarded as kind of hippie here, too - but things are getting better. Six years ago we were completely alone when we went jogging, but now half the village seems to be jogging or walking, too. That's an improvement, people slowly stop laughing and start thinking, maybe... I'm afraid I can...

    Juli - this shows that what is declared healthy not necessarily has to be healthy for everyone... My husband and I work as food coaches, and boy do I have difficulties to explain to people why "normal" healthy nutrition with lots of fruits and veggies doesn't work for me! Just right now I found that I have a histamine issue, too. Last year I only had...

    Gentleheart, I'm so sorry - you're completely right. As I use this toothpaste nearly all my life, the last time I looked at the ingredients was more than 20 years ago when I had no clue that there was something like food intolerances... Thanks for the hint, anyway... Seems like I should go find something else, sigh.

    Gentleheart, here in Germany we have a blend called Weleda, it's natural cosmetic - everything from soap, body lotion to deodorant, and they have a salt toothpaste which only contains salt and some herbal extracts. It's quite expensive - more than double what normal toothpaste costs, but you don't need much of it so it lasts very long. Look at www.weleda...

    Sherry, thanks for the addition! Yes, in people with celiac or gluten intolerance this can be the starting point. Juli, the piggyback thing is right, if you have a fructose malabsorption you should in any case avoid foods with a higher content of fructose than glucose. That would especially be apples and pears. Very liquid honey contains more fructose...

    Depends, I think. First thing is that the flora has to be in disorder for some reason, so that there is a nice milieu for yeast. That is, the candida starts as a consequence of a dysbalance, and then of course it increases the problems... Most people do have candida issues following the flora damage but not necessarily. Might depend on what you take in. I...

    Juli, I'm pretty sure that this kind of acquired fructose intolerance will go away again. I never liked sweet things but eat tons of fruit and veggies - without ever having trouble until recently. My naturopath told me that in fact it's the starches which do most of the harm. Maldigestion of starches causes bacterial overgrowth which causes malabsorption...

    Hi Juli, I just read the last posts and found you mentioning that suddenly you can't have foods you used to be able to eat like apples and lima beans. Did you ever look into fructose intolerance? Apples and beans are a desaster if someone is fructose intolerant. I just had that problem: After one year gluten free suddenly everything got worse instead of...

    Ali, I enjoyed your off topic conversation about Wales and the Welsh Being German with a Romanian father and a German mother who dreamed of being Italian (she studied there and spoke Italian like a native), I have no roots at all here in old Germany but somehow feel home in - Great Britain. No idea why but from the first English lesson at school I...

    I've not been cheating with any carbohydrates, but as I can't eat much veggies due to the fructose intolerance I was quite desperate at the beginning because I didn't know what to eat... So I had much too much cheese. I tried to balance with goats cheese, sheep feta and cow's cheese but found that my gut was not pleased with all this cheese stuff. Now I only...

    Gentleheart, I don't know if that is the reason why chocolate is not allowed, but in fact cocoa contains starches as well as fat. 100 g cocoa beans naturally contain 8,67 g saccharose which is a disaccharide - illegal - and 2,17 g starches which are illegal, too. Another thing is that cocoa also contains lots of histamine. SCD doesn't especially rely...

    Ali, I agree with the others about you and your posts Just one of these days I saw a most interesting report about recent studies concerning the influence of food and nutrition on dna damage. Actually they found out that you can put off functions of your dna by malnutrition so that you develop diseases, intolerances, allergies etc. This dna damage...

    Actually the first idea of "celiac disease" was that it is an intolerance against every kind of starches, not only gluten. Only further research found out that gluten was one thing that caused symptoms of celiac disease and this became the standard diagnosis of celiac disease: Gluten intolerance. Science tends to stick to simple explanations... Gentleheart...

    Sherry, that was quite simple. Nothing but a H2-Test, i.e. breath test. That way you can also find out if you have a small intestine bacterial overgrowth which also can cause huge problems. How are you doing at the moment? Sorry - I really lost track because after getting rid of the technical problems now I have tons of work to do... Mia
  19. GermanMia
    Hi all, again my internet broke down - better it than I, but anyway, I lost track again, sigh. First of all - GFLady, I agree with the others, stick to the SCD if you think it is the right thing. The first days or maybe two week can be terrible, but it's really, really worth the pain And I totally agree with pele about the legal stuff that might...

    I'm afraid I don't manage to keep up with the last weeks... Too much work and I still get tired too fast. The good news is that I got the results of the urine test for HPU and my last stool test. No HPU, so I don't have to worry about that. The stool still tells I don't digest fat properly and - quite strange - there was undigested starch although I don...

    Hi all, after being away two weeks and then struggling with a broken down internet for another week I'm now far behind everything... But anyway I do wish all of you a very healthy and blessed New Year! May you all improve and keep getting better on this way :-) Now I think I'll be reading some of what I missed during the last weeks. Mia

    Hi Jsn7821, it could be the carrots. Must not but can. Carrots contain mannitol, which like sorbitol can cause problems in people who either have a sorbitol intolerance or don't absorb fructose well. Maybe start with greens which are low in fructose like spinach, corn salad, avocados (okay, that's a fruit :-)) if you can manage avocados. Did you ever have...

    Hi pele, that's great!!! Just don't let someone talk you into taking drugs which only make oxidative stress...
  24. GermanMia
    Hi Jsn7821, look at www.pecanbread.com for the legal / illegal foods. Some legumes are allowed. If you have no D and no more bloating, you might try them, but be a little careful. Are you able to eat eggs? They're a very good source of protein. Pele, I really do hope I'll get rid of the fructose malabsorption after some time so that I can eat...

    Dawn, I totally agree with Shay, Sherry and Ali. You have to do some tests, but maybe it's not necessary to see this doctor whom your insurance doesn't pay. If you see your other doctor you might ask for a gastorenterologist. I'm afraid I don't know how it is in the USA but in Germany there are gastroenterologists who are in the insurance plans. They're...
