About Me

Self diagnosed gluten sensitive, confirmed through multiple thyroid, liver and blood markers. Have been in food since I could first get a job and have now been forced to change my whole view of food thanks to recognizing this problem. Am currently getting set up to move out to the NW and start my personal chef business.

    Acid reflux is most often times an issue of too little stomach acid. Excessive carbohydrate consumption inhibits the development of sufficient stomach acid. Most people when they switch to a gluten free diet, do so by replacing all of the gluteny things that they used to eat with the specialty "gluten-free" bakery/pasta items which are almost all pure sugar...

    Many mineral and vitamin pills are semi-worthless. What type of diet do you eat?

    Oh hey look, they're still using the TTG test as the main one... I remember a time when I used to think the Mayo Clinic knew what the hell they were doing. They're no better off than the IOM, a great place to get your information if you don't care about any studies that have taken place in the last decade or so.

    Going full ketogenic diet does wonders for keeping candida at bay. When you're dealing with something that requires glucose to live (like candida) switching your body over to running off of just ketones will drastically cut down on the amount of candida allowed to grow in your system. The main way to get to this state is a diet 65+% of calories from fat and...

    Sweet potatoes are technically only about 15% fructose, sucrose is half fructose but most of the sugar in it is starch (all glucose).

    No, the regrowth of the villi will not cause pain. Since you are experiencing pain 4 months into the diet that means you're either eating things with gluten in them (cross contamination is really common in the beginning), or you're picking up an infection which is another not so uncommon thing seeing as how your internal bacteria were out of whack even before...

    It certainly does sound like your allergist could be right in assuming that it's a bacterial or yeast infection. Yeast infections are an unfortunately common side effect of untreated celiac disease that can last well past when the gluten has long been removed. If it is a yeast infection the unfortunate thing is that once it gets set in your system it's pretty...

    Decent probiotics do a good job of actually decreasing the permeability of your intestinal lining. This is why probiotics are imperative for celiacs to take, wheat increases the permeability letting through all sorts of nasty stuff (like even more gluten) but these probiotics can help cut down somewhat on that. It's also been shown before that celiacs on...

    The location of these patches could have some effect on exactly what it may be a clue of. It's late though and not coming to the front of my mind but these patches especially around the neck area are highly indicative of some metabolic disorder.

    It's pretty tough to tell in the beginning, because you're going through a period of getting your diet in check it would be great to get everything out of the way as soon as you can. Dairy intolerance (casein) is not an uncommon thing and additionally lactose intolerance is often a side effect of a gluten intolerance until you get a little ways into the healing...

    Carbohydrates do quite a few bad things to your digestion including screwing with your stomach acid production which causes some big problems when you're eating anything that requires lots of stomach acids like say... anything besides carbohydrates. You could always try drinking some high quality heavy cream if you're looking at upping your calorie count...

    Lets see on hand I normally have (and use): -Lard (pork) -Tallow (beef) -Duck Fat -Regular Coconut Oil -Virgin Coconut Oil -Refined Palm Oil -Virgin Red Palm Oil -Butter -Ghee -Olive oil The red palm oil I just got for the first time last week, I'm not quite sure what to make of the flavor or consistency yet but for some odd reason I can't stop...

    For most people all that's required to have a reaction is for enough of gluten to touch your mucus membranes. These membranes line the digestive tract as well as your respiratory tract. ie: Congratulations! You now have perfect incentive to find a job that will net you a pay raise, or one that's less of a commute, better hours, better benefits, etc.

    I'm still doing the ketogenic paleo diet of no grains/legumes and almost no fruits/nuts (and heavy amounts of yummy saturated fats). It seems like each week I just keep getting better as my health improves and my mental state gets cheerier. I'd say my cognition improved about the same measure going keto-paleo from gluten-free as it did going from heavy amounts...

    Excessive carbohydrate consumption can also easily cause heartburn, no gluten required.
