  1. I am originally from North Europe and I have HLA DQ2.5 & DQ8. They are both "celiac" genes. I've already got celiac . Also I know that this combination of genes puts me at a high risk for juvenile diabeties. Doesn't make me happy. Anyway, there IS a gene, associated with diabeties - DQ8: "...In Europe, DQ8 is associated with juvenile diabetes and...

  3. I would try to give K1. If your kid is vitamin K deficient, which happens to celiacs and infants, you will see some improvements with internal bleeding within 3-5 days. I don't know about the children dosage though - I was taking 1000 mcg/day and found improvements with bruising and rectal bleeding in 3-4 days. Vitamins K1 shouldn't hurt, as I know. You...

  5. I started gluten-free diet in January 2010. And only in March I realized that I am lactose-intolerant. Also I found other food intolerances, which surprised me a lot. But it is common to find other food intolerances when you go gluten-free
  6. You don't need to be officially diagnosed to know how you feel without gluten. Listen to your gut! I am happy for you that gluten-free diet helps you!
  7. My PMS has improved after I started gluten-free diet, but it took at least 3 months. And it happened after I started taking vitamins, including Vitamin K (I am K-deficient). Also before I went gluten-free I used to have migraines with my PMS, and now it is 10 times better. BUT last month I was stressed at work and was drinking lots of coffee and I had my...
  8. I was straggling with bad C for the last 2 years before I was diagnosed with celiac. I was having the same problem for the first 5 months after I went gluten-free. I didn
  9. I hear you, sickchick! I am very sorry that you keep developing these food intolerances even if you
  10. I found out that I have intolerance to some fruit such as oranges, strawberries, apples etc. At the same time I eat without any problems melon, watermelon, bananas, mango, grapes. So I don
  11. You should change your doctor when: - your physician knows about your family history (depression, suicides) and label you as a "mental" patient when he sends you to GI and hematologist ; - your GI checks your colon during the colonoscopy and tells you that you are healthy (he didn
  12. I was gluten-free for almost 2 months when my celiac blood test was done. It was my BIG mistake to let them do the test. I had doubts about it, but my doctor was sure that such a short period of time wouldn
  13. It seems to me that you may have an emotional reaction to the latest changes in your life. To get sick, then to go through all that tests to be diagnosed, then to accept the fact that you will never eat what you used to eat
  14. Try Russian websites. Russia is the closest country and the prices for gluten-free products should be better. Also check for big chain-stores in Kiev, they should have something. I am going to Moscow this August and already contacted 7-th Continent Superstore about gluten-free products. Got immediate reply with the list of available gluten-free products...
  15. It was the only symptom that my physician couldn
  16. I gave up coffee for some time before I could have it in small quantity. Some people have their guts very damaged so they become very sensitive. Coffee may irritate your gut, as spices or vinegar do. Try not to drink coffee for a while, or take it with lactose-free milk if you can (just one small cup).
  17. I am on a gluten-free diet for almost 5 months and still have problems with many foods, including grains in general. I have pain and bloating when I eat a bowl of grain which may feel almost as a reaction for gluten. I discovered I can eat only a small amount of grain (the safe ones of course) because of the high content of fiber. I decided to wait until...
  18. I am going to have the same hydrogen breath test (on lactose) and was interested to know more about the test. I have found very valuable information on medicinenet.com. According to this website, the bacterial overgrowth is treated with antibiotics, and that it may be useful to repeat the breath test to determine if the antibiotics have eliminated the...
  19. Great post! Please keep us updated! I am in the same situation - my genetic test will be ready next week. I wish you good luck!
  20. order. I don't think I have hemorrhoids Last year I was heaving pain/bloating and some blood on the toilet paper. I knew that the bleeding was not due to my "hard" stool. Also I was easily bruising; my legs were covered with bruises. When the colonoscopy was done I was told that I had a small hemorrhoid that was bleeding. They pronounced me "healthy...
  21. I am gluten-free since the beginning of January. I got better almost immediately, and my health overall has improved dramatically . BUT I have discovered other food intolerances, and I developed new symptoms such joint pain and "needles" all over my body while I was already on a gluten-free diet. So I don't feel healthy yet. I am taking lots of vitamins...
  22. I will be waiting for my allergy test result, maybe it will show something. I am also waiting for the celiac genetic test. It will be back next week. I hope that if I get Q2 or Q8 in my test result my GI will give me some recommendations on my diet. But if I have gluten intolerance/sensitivity instead of celiac I don't expect to get help from my GI . ...
  23. Wow, it sound really complicated. I am looking for an easy way to find out what causes my gut pain/ bloating but it seems as it is very difficult . I don't know if I would be tested for any food intolerances. When I went gluten-free 4 months ago, everything seemed so great and easy; my symptoms seemed to be fixed. And now I know that other foods also put...
  24. Thank you, Ravenwoodglass, It is very sad that the test will not help me to figure out what food intolences I have. After going gluten free my guts are still very sensitive. I have negative reaction to food regularly, and I don't even know what exectly I can't tolerate. Thanks god it is not as bad as reaction for gluten. What I find interesting is that...
