Can Researchers Use Gene-Editing to Make Gluten-Safe Wheat?
etbtbfs commented on Jefferson Adams's article in Latest Research
This message from Health Canada did not provide a convincing argument. There were no references. There are a significant number of references that say it isn't safe. I think you know that there has never been an exhaustive, long-term, dual blind study on the safety of glyphosate because nobody... -
Can Researchers Use Gene-Editing to Make Gluten-Safe Wheat?
etbtbfs commented on Jefferson Adams's article in Latest Research
Don't find much merit in this idea. Humans weren't designed to eat grasses. Besides, in America, hybridized dwarf wheat is often sprayed with glyphosate to cure it for harvesting, so this crap can't possibly be made safe to eat anyway. -
IM SO SCARED
etbtbfs replied to Micheal123's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Gluten sensitivity affects a much larger proportion of the population than the official 1:133 celiac figure. You are doing exactly the right thing by kicking gluten out of your life. -
Gluten Symptom not improving
etbtbfs replied to icdk's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
.... (continued) the celiac.com website is buggy. To continue: if you have access to medical lab testing, the Tissue Transglutaminase and Gliadin Antibody tests should be able to tell you if you have celiac. In light of the anxiety, depression, and brain fog symptoms, a full thyroid panel seems... -
Gluten Symptom not improving
etbtbfs replied to icdk's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I can't know what the cause of your anxiety, depression, and brain fog really is. However, you should know that all of those symptoms are classic hypothyroid symptoms. Gluten can cause gut destruction (called enteropathy or "leaky gut"), leading to autoimmunity directed (usually) at your endocrine... -
Celiac possibility
etbtbfs replied to ohwowcharlie's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Don't let celiac ruin your most productive years like it ruined mine! Get tested!! Gluten rips up the gut, causing enteropathy/"leaky gut" that provokes autoimmunity. When you mention your mom's low T4 and your anxiety/depression/brain fog/etc., all I can think is "Hashimoto's"! Which is followed... -
Gluten / Dairy Sensitivity Questions
etbtbfs replied to paytong's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I had full-blown silent celiac. What I found was that the gluten enteropathy made me dairy intolerant. Once I had been off gluten a long time and fixed my nutritional and endocrine problems, dairy was no longer a problem. However I now use only cultured dairy, e.g. Kefir. I don't think your... -
Need some straight answers!!
etbtbfs replied to Jasmine05's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Since you have had testing and symptoms subsided when you went off gluten, why do you have to bother with biopsy? -
Don't trust an answer of "normal" from an MD. Get copies of all your tests and get a book like the Lavalle book that explains what they mean. I have no use for psychotherapists; none of them understand the biology of health problems, and the effect of health on brain function. I can understand...

Sudden hair loss
etbtbfs replied to dania's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
TSH is not sufficient to diagnose thyroid. Your doctor is ignorant. Find a doc who does all these tests and knows what they mean: TSH FT3 FT4 rT3 TPOab TGab. -
frustrated and not feeling well
etbtbfs replied to ironictruth's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Have you had hormone levels analyzed? Esp., your thyroid, by a doctor who does all of the relevant tests?
