About Me

o.O

  1. I have been gluten free for around 2ish years. The first year was certainly harder than the second. Its all old hat now. You most certainly become more sensitive to small amounts of gluten after cutting it out of your diet. Cross contamination is a huge issue. I haven't been glutenend lately, but it happens from time to time. I can tell a difference...
  2. Well I did what I said I wouldn't do, and that is to get "tested" further for Celiac disease. I can tell I have a problem with Gluten and that is good enough for me, however my sister (who I am convinced has a bigger problem than me) refuses to do the gluten free diet, so I got the genetic test to "prove" to her that its a problem that runs in the family...
  3. I meant to also ask if any undiagnosed problems got better, but to just notate whether or not you were diagnosed. Non of my mental health issues from the past were ever officially diagnosed, they are just my take on how I feel.
  4. I know I for one, after going gluten free have a much easier time regulating my emotions. The wild roller coaster of feelings is gone. My overwhelming anxiety is gone. My depression for the most part is gone. My mania is gone... Is there anyone that has been diagnosed with depression, bi-polar disorder, schizophrenia, borderline personality disorder...
  5. Histamine may actually help in the bodies fight against gluten. I have noticed that drinking wine after accidentally eating gluten seems to help. My mother, who had/has worse lower extremity neuropathy than mine, would sting her self with bees to relive the symptoms. I have also heard of people with arthritis (another condition at least partially linked...
  6. I totally missed that you have autism when I first responded to your post. I know that there is a lot of talk about a gluten free diet helping with autism. Coupled with that however is also a casein free diet. Casein is a very similar to gluten. I think there just has not been enough research done in these areas. If eating gluten free and casein free...
  7. My take is that they are probably the same condition, but some triggering even caused the body to deal less well with the gluten intolerance, and celiac's then forms.
  8. Just hang in there. I had a lengthy withdrawal period and a relapse of some of the symptoms for a period of time. They have gradually gotten better. Keep up the diet and hopefully they will get better with some time.
  9. There seems to be some correlation between various autoimmune disorders and gluten intolerance including but limited to Lupus. Some people have an improvement of those symptoms after going gluten free. I myself had a negative blood test however that is inconclusive since as many as 30% of individuals with gluten problems will have a false negative. I...
  10. If you ask a 100 different doctors you will probably get a 100 different answers on that subject. I do not believe they have done enough research into those problems to authoritatively tell you. In short you will get something about an allergy being an IgE response, and an intolerance being an IgA or IgG response. IgA, IgG, and IgE are all types of antibody...
  11. My point being that it doesn't address the bodies inability to deal with the gluten, it only effects the bodies immune response to the gluten. Since celiac's cannot digest gluten as well as other people then the body has to deal with the gluten in some manner. If it does not cause an autoimmune response to rid the body of gluten then the gluten will just...
  12. First off, I don't know how much faith I would have in the Vaccine. It could only mask a deeper problem eliminating the immediate reaction. It could make gluten consumable without the IBS type symptoms, but making all the other problems worse. Second the only treatment is to not eat gluten which would be the same if your just stop eating gluten to make...
  13. Is the turkey the only thing you ate, or is it possible the reaction came from something else?
  14. Isn't that a "lighter" thickener? Like tapioca starch or arrowroot starch?
  15. I have been getting some flours from Barry Farm off amazon. http://www.(Company Name Removed - They Spammed This Forum and are Banned)/s/ref=nb_ss_hpc?url=...amp;x=0&y=0 There website lists which flours are certified gluten free. I am kind of sad about the Sorghum Flour which isn't certified gluten free. Open Original Shared Link
