I keep hearing about salicylate sensitivity and wish I could find more information about it. Do you have it? Do you happen to know what are the common reactive symptoms from it? Or are there too many to name (like gluten )? I have not found a good website about it yet.

I had TERRIBLY weak stomach acid. I used HCl pills for 2 years. But, I finally have permanently CURED my low stomach acid by removing all legumes, grains and nightshades from my diet. My stomach acid returned within 3 weeks. I must have been intolerant to those three food families. However, the slightest trace of any of those foods makes the problem...

For the last month, I've been eating squash. Butternut squash and pumpkin to be exact. Organic. I've also been dealing with mood swings and have FINALLY pinpointed that when I eat an entire squash in one day (4 cups), I have a gluten-esque reaction. I become easily upset, grouchy and angry. I'll also swell up with emotions and begin to cry in the middle...

But your body should be able to absorb calcium magnesium from whole foods without having to take supplements. It sounds like you still are not absorbing nutrients and like you are overlooking another food intolerance. Find the food intolerance that is preventing your body from absorbing nutrients and you'll fix the cramps.

HEY I'm dealing with the same issue. I can sleep 8-11 hours during the day AFTER getting a full night's sleep. I dealt with this for 5 years before I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease. After being gluten free and taking vitamins and having my hormones checked I was STILL just as tired. I found that I had become allergic or intolerant to many other foods...

Are there physicians who handle candida infections? Is there a reliable test I can take on my own to see if I have a bad candida infection? Is there a test I can request at the doctor's office?

I only have extreme nausea after eating salt. I developed a sensitivity to it about a month ago. If I don't drink 2-3 cups of water with every small sprinkling of salt, I develop a migraine and extreme nausea that lasts all day long and into the night. And its sea salt!

Good substitutes for nightshades: Instead of french fries, try baked sweet potato with sea salt, black pepper and ground rosemary. Squash is a wonderful substitute for nightshades (giving soups a thick broth). Also, seasoned rutabaga makes a nice potato patty substitute.

I used www.NowLEAP.com for $500. I was very skeptical but I was so sick I was willing to take the chance. They drop food particles into tiny containers of your blood and count the number of white blood cells released by your blood in the presence of various foods. I did the test with a friend. My friend (who was not sick but curious) was sensitive...

I began doing that and notice I did it on certain foods like tomatoes. I later learned I have an intolerance to tomatoes.

So I've been gluten-free now almost two years. Over the months, I have slowly removed all grains, all legumes, all seeds and nuts, dairy and eggs. I also do not eat meat just because I can't stomach the thought of eating an animal (well, I have clams occasionally for b12 but I am hoping to find a corn-free b12 shot). So, because my diet is so precarious...

I would say go off grain and soy. I've known three other Celiacs who had insomia because of corn and soy. I have also known one who has leg cramps anytime the slightest amount of corn, rice or soy is in their diet. Many Celiacs have trouble with ALL grains... but won't have any traditional "gluten-like" symptoms before they remove it from their diet. ...

I already went to the ER when it was happening (before I knew it was food related). After various tests they sent me home saying they didn't know what the problem was. I have never had luck with doctors .

I have found that chemical sensitivities such as yours are usually indicative of an underlying food intolerance still in the diet, the most common among Celiacs being corn, rice and soy. I would suggest you take EnteroLab's rice and corn test. Other than heightened sensitivities to the environment, people usually do not display any other symptoms to the...

You might be one of the Celiacs who reacts to corn and rice (the grains). You should get the corn and rice test offered by EnteroLab. If you still have inflammation this long after avoiding gluten, there is obviously something still irritating your body. Many people don't realize how intolerant they are to corn until they avoid it for 4 months. After...
