    The blood tests are known to have a high false negative, so I would suspect that 'home test' kits would have an even higher false negative and be highly suspicious. I would certainly see if you can get a complete blood workup which should consist of the following tests: Anti-tissue Transglutaminase Antibody (tTG) Anti-Gliadin Antibodies (IgA and IgG...

    ARCHIVED Anxiety

    Korwyn replied to Macbre's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I'm not really sure how to answer that. I personally wouldn't have thought to involve a psychiatrist for pain management, so I honestly don't know. In the last couple of years I've had to go in pain meds a couple times due to injury. So yes, I've taking meds that have helped deal with specific pain issues, and I have been fortunate in that I haven...

    Dude, From looking at your avatar, I have to tell you that the full body hair coat is definitely going be an issue. And I'd really suggest you consider some lip reduction surgery. And possibly a tandem bike. With more than one gear.

    ARCHIVED Anxiety

    Korwyn replied to Macbre's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    MitziG read my mind on both things I was going to bring up. The withdrawal can be rough for some people in different ways, and it doesn't always seem to manifest immediately (at least from anecdotal evidence).

    PB8 Vegetarian also works well for me. What exactly do you mean when you say 'irritated' ?

    If you actually have candida overgrowth (and you need to actually get specifically tested for this to be sure), it will generally not clear itself up. There is a specific naturopathic treatment regimen involving a strict sugar and starch free diet, including removing fruit and certain high sugar veggies, along with some specific anti-candida extracts. There...

    This is interesting question! (+1) I never thought about an upside to being super sensitive. I like these kinds of challenges to my thinking habits. So...one positive thing that I can think of is that I don't seem to agonize as much as some people do over "can/should I risk trying this or not?". It is produced in a shared facility or shared house (gluten...

    I'm a big proponent of this book. I first heard about it from my wife's pastor, whose son is autistic. I eventually read it after hearing about it at our local GiG support group meeting again from a friend. Going on strictest form of the GAPS for six months was key in really starting healing my gut. In fact, I'm considering doing it again because I've had...

    Ditto! There are a lot more important things to worry. I'm very sensitive and meat has been essential to my healing. The links I posted above were more for those who are interested in reading up on the subject and my point was more intended to be that there should be more research on the subject and it might not be an entirely closed case for some people...

    Also, not to start a flamewar, but there are a couple interesting (to me) articles listed below that indirectly address this issue and re-opens the question for me if the food of the food we eat really does affect us or not. I do know people who cannot eat poultry fed soy soy fed poultry, or corn fed beef for example. Open Original Shared Link Open...

    Many of those (including the store bought dairy) contain the added vitamin A or D. There are multiple studies showing problems with synthetic vitamin D, plus I have an acquaintance who can't tolerate any synthetic vitamin D.

    So how are you doing?

    Not to mention that fat is our only other source of energy besides glucose. I have exactly the same issue. My craving for carbs is tied to my fat intake. If I'm getting most of my calories from fat and the remainder from protein then I'm OK. If I drop my fat intake I start craving carbs.

    Oooo! They've done gene replacement to make Open Original Shared Link and Open Original Shared Link glow green, so why not gluten? They obviously don't have any problem randomly mutating crops to increase production without understanding what they are doing(1) (1) In the late 1920s, researchers discovered that they could greatly increase the number...

    Vitamin D deficiency, which seems to be one of the most common among Celiac has been shown repeatedly to contribute to tooth decay. Here is Open Original Shared Link referencing multiple information sources on this topic.

    Oh yes. But being in the Pacific Northwest right on the coast I haven't seen an eclipse in 15 years. *sob*

    Hi Debbie! I'm glad you got your diagnosis and seem to have a good grasp on where to start. You'll get lots of advice, but I wanted to give you two pieces of advice as well: First) Buy Living Gluten Free for Dummies. Seriously. It helped me so much. It kept me from losing my mind, any more than I already did anyway; Second) Stop being nervous. If you...

    That's ok, as an astronomy lover I like orbital ellipses. Which is odd (not that I have anything against oddity or oddness or odd numbers in general...or specific) since I have some OCD issues with patterns and symmetry, so I would expect I would prefer circles. Not that I actually prefer one over the other, but I'm just saying if I had a choice between...

    They'll start nodding in agreement as soon as they hear "certifiable".
  22. Korwyn
    Can I quote you on that? Our kids will never believe me otherwise.

    I called Theraflu about two months ago and the lady I spoke with said that all their products are gluten free. I haven't had any issues with it.
  24. Korwyn
    Meal: Steak and potatoes. Snack: home made trail mix. Almonds, cashews, gluten-free chocolate chips, craisins, pine nuts, raisins.

    There is a grieving process that many of us seem to go through. Some go through it right away, some not for several months. It really is okay. About the liver and onions (mmmmm.....I love liver and onions) I use 1/3 white rice flour, 1/3 sorghum, and 1/3 millet (all available at most whole foods (not the chain) stores). For gravy I use 1/2 potato starch and...
