    Welcome to the forum of stupid people with gluten. Many, if not most, people have had false starts with gluten. It is complicated and hard for the combined efforts of docs and patients to unravel its confusing symptoms and all the associated disorders. I am 53 yrs old and my testosterone and DHEA levels have probably dropped (having them tested now), demostrated...

    I dont have asthma but do have strong allergic reactions to house dust mite - these are often implicated as causes or triggers for asthma. My reaction to dust mite is very flu like, high fever and knocked-down-by-bus feeling for a day or two, followed by stuffed up sinus, pst nasal drip etc for a few weeks. I also have a generally weak immune system, cold...

    My experience with weight gain/loss has led me to conclude the following is applicable to me. I have been losing/gaining weight for the past 20 years (am 53 yr old male now), was 180lbs and down to 154lbs at lowest, currently 160lbs. I have been aware of food intolerances since 2007, knowledge of gluten intolerance since mid 2008, but many accidental glutening...

    I lost around 10-15kg over a number of years prior celiac diagnosis (5kg in the last 6 months, so am concerned about recovering the weight. Its taken me a while to get a couple fo kg back, probabaly because I have made a number of mistakes on the way with cross contanimation, reactions to other foods. However managing how and when you eat diet is a conscious...

    Candida can be hidden and result due to damage caused by gluten, as its an opportunistic fungus. However not sure how much diagnostics you have been through, aside from the spit test, for candida or other related gut issues. I suggest you need to get at least a couple of medical opinions. Some non invasive tests done, perhaps an alternative view, a good iridologist...

    My understanding of Celiac is that the damage to the gut wall means that proteins from other foods and other ? can pass into the body and be seen as invading pathogens. Usually foods are broken down and absorbed before they pass through the gut wall, and so do not appear as invaders by the immune system. This adds stress to all the systems, alows opportunistic...

    I have/had anxiety with my celiac. Research indicates that it is a known symptom. I would imagine that being unwell makes someone anxious and there is supposed to be some direct pathology on the neuro systems. Be positive, at least you have identified a culpprit for the way you feel, it takes time to address and you must always be vigilant. Your systems will...

    Since we produce an antibody to gluten that damages the small intestine, by definition other foods will not get properly broken down, and will pass out of digestive syetem in a form that our immune system could consider an attacking antigen. Soy is in the top half dozen foods considered to cause problems (along with lactose, wheat, fructose, yeast. This means...

    I agree with Mushrooms comments, it is well known risk that you need to cycle the foods you eat, as I have learnt to my cost. I would add that sugar is also a problem food and its quite easy and comon to get a craving for sweet stuff when you remove foods from your diet. Candida also feeds on sugars and fructose is a problem of itself, so be careful you do...

    This is tricky to answer if you do not have a confirmed diagnosis of celiac disease, and how much you know how it works, however this is my perspective. Celiac disease damages the small intestine, making absorption of other foods a possible complication. If your gut wall has been damaged by gluten, its possible that candida can get a foothold and possible...

    I began by getting rid of Candida, getting better and then having to start all over again with gluten. I now understand the process to work roughly like this. Gluten damages the lining of the small intestine making it permeable to other proteins. This general ill health in the gut makes it a good place for an opportunistic fungus like candida. Of course candida...

    Thanks Mushroom, I guess what is puzzling and concerning me is the apparent progression of my food intolerances despite the fact I have been gluten free for 2 years and am presumably healing in some ways. While I have foolish with some other foods and not observing enough rotation in and out of my diet, I was expecting greater tolerance of other suspect...

    Thanks Mushroom, so how do you tell which foods you are genetically intolerant to (like gluten) and those you are not? From my reading, I am assuming that lactose, sugars, candida, nightshades are all temporary, but not sure about soy,
  15. JAMR
    I appear to be gluten intolerant and since removing it from my diet around 2 years ago, I appear to react to other foods as well. In removing gluten I have inadvertantly overdone other foods which appears to have created issues, so now sugars, soy, lactose and posibly nightshades cause problems. I have periods of several months of wellness followed by a few...

    There appear to be strong links between celiac and hives, although there is often a trigger for the hives. I react to old, this is known as cold urticaria. It has improved significantly since I went gluten-free, however the older one is (I am 52) the longer it takes to resolve itself. If you only get hives on your legs, is it possible you are being exposed...
