  1. Paleo typically doesn't include dairy. I dropped dairy because of the damage to my villi. I recently tried to add hard cheese back in to disastrous consequences but I have a working theory I am going to test in the near future. You might want to check out Robb Wolf's site or Loren Cordain for basic information on paleolithic diet practices. I find that Robb...
  2. I had my first rheumatic related surgery in kindergarten. It was so severe by the time I was diagnosed with celiac forty years later that I could barely walk. I went not only gluten free but also adopted a paleo diet and within forty eight hours I went from not being able to do anything but barely shuffle for the first several hours of the day to being able...
  3. Just another random thought that struck me while thinking about all this. If a person is serum negative but biopsy positive for celiac and then displays a tendency towards being refractory it may be because the disease is mediated by gut flora destruction. If a person goes gluten free before testing who has a reasonably functioning flora they might, in...
  4. My head is still spinning with all the implications of the Microbiome project. The thing that worries me is that they will try to reduce it down to a few key essentials. Over 3000 potential microbes and they may be able to identify 900 by the time they are done? We take probiotics with only 8 strains of bacteria? I begin to understand how woefully inadequate...
  5. Open Original Shared Link Now this may not make sense to some as to why I am posting this link relative to the discussion but... If you decide to look at this and have the stomach for it just take a look at the stomach contents picture of the two calves. One had the benefit of a healthy gut environment whereas the other didn't. The profound effect on the...
  6. tirgger discussion Here's the discussion I was talking about as well.
  7. Since you are already scheduled for the biopsy he probably just figured that he might as well check while he has you out. Really, if it's positive I am not sure of the necessity of the blood test other than for a baseline for comparison later on for compliance if you end up with celiac disease DX. Ye, it does appear to be reversed but I think it is because...
  8. Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link More links related to this. I think, in light of the numbers of people who also cited a link with antibiotic use in a former discussion, there may be much more to this than anyone realizes. I have been hypothesizing in recent weeks that my gut is still broken. When you...
  9. If I eat any potatoes my rheumatoid arthritis flares withing a day and will last for the better part of a week. I stay away anymore. Just not worth it.
  10. um... just on this board...
  11. I've been thinking about the labeling issue. Unless they figure out some way to account for all derivative products in the wheat/rye/barley spectrum and group and label them as such it seems as if labeling is almost useless. We still have to hunt down sources as it is. I just don't see the government, under the influence of commodity agriculture, as being...
  12. (I can't believe I just used emoticons...)
  13. Open Original Shared Link I don't have access to the full article but the extract looks interesting in light of this discussion.
  14. I noticed this same thing when I took an antibiotic after diagnosis. A few blissful days of near normalcy. Ironically, though, I tan also trace the trigger episode of my major event that sent things into a tailspin several years before to a course of antibiotics. Brings to the forefront the whole issue of the gut flora and how we brutally assault it with...
  15. Is anyone here mildly annoyed by the statements made by the journalist and physician focusing on the minor issues with only a passing reference to the "oh by the way..it can lead to cancer, etc" as a mere afterthought? It almost makes me cringe when the "experts" seem so much like the doctors I would have avoided after I knew better. Maybe I am just being...
  16. Were the mashed potatoes from a boxed mix? If so, they probably had gluten in them.
  17. It makes sense.. but I don't know why. I will have to think about this for awhile. I know that all my other autoimmune complications have flares and cycles so why not the digestive aspects of celiac as well.
  18. Me four! Then I messed it up even further by trying to add cheese back in.. even worse... of course maybe the PB had already made things bad enough. Oh, and lest we get off track.. I still hate soy.
  19. Hmmm.. Just dealing with a student with kidney stone issues. Slight build. I try not to be paranoid but I see gut issues and gluten issues everywhere I look anymore. I try to be reasonable and think through to why I might be wrong but it keeps coming back to this. I was wondering whether gut permeability issues might have anything to do with it as well. Mal...
  20. I don't know why, but this is really profound to me at present.
  21. You'll certainly be flush with excitement or anticipation after that monster gallon. Brings back memories. I was so happy when my followup a year later was only fir an upper.. just fasting.. no other prep needed. The nurse laughed at my overwhelmingly happy response to being told that little fact. CS
  22. This is so well written. Many good analogies. I think more than Dr. Oz should be reading this! CS
  23. Maybe that's what the nut job who ran on stage during Bob Dylan's performance years ago meant when he had "Soy Bomb" painted on his chest....... hmmm... It's everywhere, it's everywhere.
  24. Just made note of those. I have not been able to find tune w/out soy. Tuna salad soy free sounds really good right about now!
