I like me some Allegra but I only take it in the daytime if things are really bad. It is the least sleepy-feeling for me. even claritin makes me drowsy. At nighttime, and here is my current dilemma, I take generic benadryls. but I took two last night and could barely wake up this morning! ok, shouldn't do that but I checked the ingredients list just in...

I glutened myself on purpose. I had been gluten-free for months through the winter. Then just this spring I was aiming to eat gluten long enough to get bloodtests but I couldn't hack the gluten-challenge I got so sick. All the stomach pain and diarrhea and acid reflux and trouble breathing and fatigue and pain! My son has the definitive diagnosis and one...

I can remember having this off and on in my life. Most recently when I tried a gluten-challenge to see if I could get tested I developed the problem again: difficult to get a deep breath or feel like I'm getting enough breath. I had read that it had something to do with anemia, either the iron, B-12 or folic acid levels we have, right? I have been gluten...

Not much: Open Original Shared Link Walnut oil and flaxseed oil are both high in omega-3s. Flaxseed imho is funny tasting and has too many phytoestrogens, I notice the effect even if it is subtle. I use walnut oil for cooking and dressings so I often have some for oil pulling. I also like sunflower and untoasted sesame oil for cooking and pulling. Pumpkin...

Sure, but cigars don't contain salivary enzymes to start breaking down food: "α-amylase (EC3.2.1.1). Amylase starts the digestion of starch and lipase fat before the food is even swallowed. It has a pH optima of 7.4" So I'm no expert but shouldn't this make some of those fatty acids more available? and trace amounts of Vitamins A and E and other bits ...

Bump! I'm looking for a gluten-free probiotic also. NOW foods uses Barley Grass and oat grass. I don't see a guarantee of gluten-freedom there. My old probiotic used to give me a bit of stomach pain and after I learned more about celiac, I noticed it also uses Barley Grass - that's Garden of Life brand. So I am still looking. I googled and found a few...

I've been running a fever for 7 days on a gluten-challenge. When I was gluten-free, I could tell I had been glutened by my fever: 99.1 to 101.1 F In the past when Drs have checked me, my white blood cell count is high but my RA which runs in family is neg. Never been checked for celiac even when I had chronic diarrhea.

Nadia - I am familiar with oil pulling. While I know there is clinical data showing it reduces amounts of plaque buildup - great for oral health - there is no other evidence (except anecdotal...) of it doing anything else. Hey, if you can buy a bottle of good cooking oil and use it as mouthwash every morning and feel better, what big pharma company is going...

I know this an old thread but I want to add my experience for when others coming looking. I get fevers when glutened. 99.2 F up to spikes of 100.3. I don't know how long they run. One time was 4 days before I figured out what I was eating that had wheat in it. As of may 8, 2009, I am on day 5 of fevers in 6 days of a gluten challenge. and boy am I eating...

Hi celiac.com community, My 7yo son recently had bloodwork and had a 185 tTg. He will have his biopsy next. I had been trying to be gluten-free for several months, 8 or 9, though i know I was glutened a few times. One way I knew was I would start running a fever, 99.1 to 100.1 (my usual temp runs low, about 97.6 or 97.8.) but now I am doing the gluten...

That might be attributable to the opiod affect the gliadin is supposed to have on our nervous systems. Open Original Shared Link

I can imagine it would be a very hard decision in your case. I am doing the gluten-challeneg but had only been gluten free for a couple of months. I don't get completely laid out in bed - well, rarely - from my reaction to gluten. I am doing it for long-term care, as in, if any other conditions or issues come up as I age (I'm 45), I do not want Dr's continuing...
