    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.

    WheatChef replied to BoydBT's topic in Publications & Publicity

    All grains certainly do not have gluten. Corn "gluten" rice "gluten" and all of those other "gluten"s from non barley/wheat/rye sources are nothing mimics of the sticky qualities of real gluten. It's basically a simplified labeling thing. That being said, grains contain many other toxic-to-mammals components and I personally don't think any are really safe...

    This is a severely common thing in the celiac community. It's a result of two common factors. The first is that as a celiac you're at a huge risk of having an unbalanced gut microbe population. Without a healthy balance of the right kinds of gut bacteria it's easy for other things to take hold in there. The second factor is that many gluten-free people end...

    The Raw Food Diet is a scam (as nicely put as possible). Many nutrients actually increase in bioavailability during cooking and those "magical" enzymes are either destroyed almost entirely by your stomach or completely useless to a non-plant. That being said, variety is the spice of life and I personally eat about 10-20% of my meats and fish in raw format...

    I have a few friends who I know will do things like cut items on a washed plate instead of their cutting board when making food that I'll eat because they know their cutting board may be contaminated. If I know it's one of these people who really go out of their way to make sure I don't get poisoned and even give me a full break down of everything they used...

    I second the paleo diet recommendation, carbohydrates are much more common culprits of acid reflux than gluten.

    Benzodiazapenes are pretty fun drugs but they're not too good for you, are severely habit forming and very sedating. SSRI's are some of the worst things you can do to your brain and I still hold a grudge against every doctor of mine who prescribed me yet another one of those terrible things. Gluten-free doesn't automatically equal a healthy diet. Get yourself...

    If you suspect that you may have a gluten intolerance, you get tested and the results come back positive then you need to go on a gluten-free diet. If you suspect that you may have a gluten intolerance, you get tested and the results come back negative then you need to try a gluten-free diet to see if it has an effect. It's more a personal decision really...

    Celiac disease in general puts you at a greater risk for bacterial imbalances in your intestine. This imbalance is pretty much one of the hallmarks of people with a gluten intolerance. Such imbalances can cause all sorts of additional digestive issues as well as increased risk to infections that will continue until specifically treated and addressed.

    Vit-C helps absorption of non-heme based iron only. It has no effects on your absorption of heme based iron, but isn't the worst thing to supplement with anyways.
  25. WheatChef
    It's a mucus membrane reaction specifically. Your entire digestive system is lined with a mucus membrane, however so is your respiratory track. There have been plenty of people coming to these forums complaining of problems due to working in bakeries, etc. where they are exposed to gluten in the air, even other cases of people having problems in the exact...
