    hey how do you get calcium? In the meat and veggies diet, I am also doing it.

    Just watched Woody Allens "Sleeper", the premise of which is that he is asleep for 200 years, and is woken up; kinda a Rumple Stilskin story. upon awaking 200 years in the future, he asks for wheat germ, and tigers milk, having been the owner of a health food store in Greenwich Village. one doctor asks the other, "what is that?", the other replies,...

    rdunbar replied to rdunbar's topic in Doctors

    I sent her an angry email , saying I was offended, and she responded that she wanted to talk about it on the phone. she asked me to be respectful. lol. isn't that too much?? she brings gluten along, then does'nt apologize, and she asks me to be respectful. I agree that she needs an etiquette lesson, but I declined from the conversation. I just don...

    for me, it was more like, "let me bring some poisin oak into a room full of people who react like crazy to poisin oak". "I can do what I want, after all, I is a doctor." like someone said in another thread recently, there's no cure for stupid.

    celiac is an autoimmune disease. the dangerous effects are caused by an autoimmune reaction in which your immune system attacks your own tissue, causing imflammation in the gut, the brain, the skin, the nervous system. you hear about IgG and IgA antibodies, but i've learned recently that it just part of the picture, theres agglutinin, gliadin, glutenin...

    when she says "I avoid gluten like the plague the vast majority of the time.", it leads me to believe she cheats on a regular basis, anyways, and she is just trying to justify what she wants to do, in total disregard for her own future, and well being. personally, I would'nt be able to handle the heart break of watching a friend self destruct like this...

    NO!! I'm saying that it would be nuts for her to eat gluten anything! just like it would be nuts to walk across a busy street blindfolded. it's a suicide mission, and you have nothing to gain from it. you can get to the other side of the street by walking with your eyes open. I think it's important to learn the science behind why gluten is so...

    ARCHIVED The Irony

    rdunbar replied to Marilyn R's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    I heard about a new lab that is doing much more comprehensive testing. It's called Cyrex laboritories. aside from testimg for the IgG & IgA antibodies, they test for wheat germ agglutinin, gliadin 15, 17, & 33, glutenin, gluteomorphin, prodynorphin, transglutaminase, glutamic acid. the lack of the full array of tests accounts for false...

    from a risk/reward perspective this is like crossing a busy street blindfolded. the upside is that you may get to the other side of the street. the downside is obvious. is it worth it??

    Dr. Peter Green mentions Vitimin K deficiency in relation to bruising, and clotting on page. 124 of his book, Celiac, the Hidden Epidemic. oddly enough, in the section about dermatitis herpetiformis.

    thanks, rosetapper!!

    ravenwoodsglasses' post is spot on, and totally from the heart. please listen to her!! I was a caretaker for an drastically autistic man over 15 years ago for about a year, so I know a little about how frustrating it can be. I was the caretaker that got along with him the best, too. he always hit everyone else, but never me. I think it was because we were...

    apparantly, gluten is super potent in even miniscule amounts. It's the gluten, not your sensativity to it that is the problem. with a lot of toxic things, you get a tolerence developed, so when you remove it, and it gets reintroduced, it effects you much more this time. consider heroin, for example!

    I also heard recently that vitamin K is a osteoporosis wonder drug, as well! glad that you found out that it can benefit you so much! I have little red dots, especially on my legs. I've just assumed that they are skin infections. I also get full on mersa staph infections regularly, although less frequent all the time. I remember having little spots of...

    I'm good to know i'm not alone, though I wouldn't wish being super sensative on anyone.

    I'm willing to say that the numbness and tingling in my right arm/ hand is the symptom that i've had the most improvement with being gluten free. and it is one of the more startling ones. I had it for years. when i get glutened, it does'nt come back as strong as the achy hip, the mood problems, the DH (skin), the gut pain, the loss of balance,ect... ect...

    seriously, has anyone w/ DH ever had to resort to wearing gloves or a mask in public? I'm thinking about wearing a mask when i go to the grocery store. theres an open kitchen there, and they have a pizza oven. maybe i'm getting airborne gluten everytime i go in there?? sorry to keep harping on this, but it's getting so frustrating that my lifestyle is...

    I was being snarky about the 'inferior genes'. it's just that that is what is being implied by the medical establishment, even by the term 'gluten-intolerant'. I don't believe there is such a thing as inferior genes, let me be clear. that's nazi talk, and quackery. the official story about celiac points the finger at you for reacting, instead of at gluten...

    reminds me of a comment a Harvard "educated" doctor made at a lecture i attended recently. she speculated whether stem cell research could get us around this little celiac problem. i was outraged, but did'nt say anything. it seemed like she was implying that the problem isn't gluten. gluten is just fine, minding it's own buisness. the problem is us; our...

    I've never been diagnosed with anything, but i've pretty much been depressed, and had panic/ anxiety episodes a lot my whole life. crying spells a daily thing for long stretches of my life. it's been hard for me to get along with people, and even hold a job for long. it's like now i realize i never knew what it was like to be comfortable in my own skin....

    gluteomorphins are highly addictive.
  23. rdunbar
    absolutely yes. I was a chef for many years, and most recently was doing catering until over a year ago. now i realize that i was getting glutened on a regular basis, and i had'nt even begun to heal as a result. I had episodes where just being near someone slicing bread ( a lot of it for a whole party) and breathing it in caused me to lose my balance, and...
  24. rdunbar
    I was thinking about your post, and have to say that I could imagine that if you only had a symptom or two, that it would be much much harder to get a grasp on what is going on with you, and that gluten may not be as glaringly obvious as the culprit, like it is when you have endless symptoms, like I, and others here have. I'm sorry, i don't think i was putting...
  25. rdunbar
    thats awesome!! i know what its like to always eat at home by myself, so i can imagine how huge that experience must be for you!
