    I don't use any gums anymore and I haven't had a problem yet. In fact all of my quick breads and cookies and cakes have turned out a lot better without the gums. One thing I haven't tried though, is yeast baked goods, but I have heard that you can use psyllium husk powder. I honestly don't think that gums are necessary and they really aren't good for...

    Look up Fructose Malabsorption (different from fructose intolerance). Two of my children with Celiac had a similar experience as your six year old and we finally found out about FM and it took care of the lingering symptoms like throwing up. Some people have to go on the FODMAP diet, but some just have to limit the amount of fructose at a time and the...

    I have Celiac and my main symptoms are neurological like yours. I think, looking at it from my own experience, that it would be a good idea to pursue getting a biopsy asap or trying entero lab, because I have been gluten free for two years and my symptoms are barely better at this point. If you don't find out if your reactions are for sure related to gluten...

    I think she means Open Original Shared Linkwww.elanaspantry.com i really love Elana's recipes - they are some of the tastiest and healthiest gluten-free recipes out there. They are also the easiest!

    I can't remember for sure, but I think that Blue Diamond products are not made in gluten free facilities. I contacted the company about a year and a half ago after thinking that my children and I might be reacting to their crackers. I think they said that they test to <20 ppm, but I could be wrong. Anyway, we figured out that we were definitely getting...

    JessicaNYC, Thanks so much for posting this information. My kids and I are extremely sensitive to gluten and I am continually trying to think of ways that we might be getting gluten - I hadn't yet thought of nail polish, but I am going to get rid of ours in case that could be a problem.

    Check out Natures Sunshine products. They make homeopathics, although I'm not sure about what they derive the alcohol from, but they are all liquid and no lactose some have alcohol base and some don't, but I haven't checked into them a ton. Natures Sunshine is the only brand I have been able to use for herbs without any adverse side effects of some kind...

    Hi All, I was wondering if anyone would be willing to help me with finding sources of good information about fructose malabsorption. My natural practitioner thinks that I may have this and I would like to request that my midwife order the hydrogen breath test, but she thinks that all my symptoms are just related to depression and not actual physical symptoms...

    From my experience, I would definitely encourage you to try to stay away from gluten while pregnant and breastfeeding. I think the advice that Domesticactivist gave was really good. I didn't know i had Celiac disease until my third child was 5 months old. I found out because all three of my children had problems since they were 2 or 3 weeks old, and I...

    My mom and sister were both able to go off their thyroid meds after the doctor told them they would have to be on them for life. They think it was largely due to changing their eating habits - taking out refined sugars and grains for the most part. So, i think there is a possibility of the body being able to heal it's self if given the right circumstances...

    Hi, Melati! I wouldn't consider myself an expert by any means, but my family and i have been doing the SCD for about five months now - almost six. I would love to answer any questions that I can, and I would also love to be in touch with another Celiac family that is on the SCD - there aren't very many. I find that most people on the SCD are treating other...

    My daughter get's DH from the smallest trace amounts of gluten. Until just recently (she has been gluten free for a little over a year), whenever she would have a breakout from CC, it would continue to get worse for 1-2 weeks and would not start to clear up for at least six weeks. I think it would stick around for up to three months at first. We started...

    I just reread my post and I see that I wasn't very clear with what I was trying to convey. My brain hasn't yet fully recovered from the years of untreated Celiac - I always feel like I'm in a fog. What I had meant to tell you, is that we found out that all my kids have Celiac and although they seemed to have trouble with many foods we are finding that...

    I was diagnosed with Celiac when my son was 5 months old. I had been pursuing reasons for his and his sisters health problems and along the way found out that I had many symptoms of Celiac Disease. I was nursing my son when I went gluten free and his symptom drastically improved within a week or two and continued to get better after that. It might be worth...

    SIBO is basically what the SCD and GAPS diets address, because to some degree all people with intestinal problems also have a bacterial imbalance (at least that's what I understand from all my research and reading).

    How about some little snack bags full of mixed nuts and dried fruit. Or some high protein muffins made out of almond flour or coconut flour. I'll make big batches of the muffins and freeze some so that I can have a variety and not get too burnt out on one kind. A site I love to look for easy high protein baked goods is www.elanaspantry.com She also has...

    Oh, I also wanted to mention that some people use the Gaps diet, which is very similar to the SCD, but with the same idea in mind.

    I had a very similar situation happen once I went gluten free. I was down to no meats only a few veggies and blueberries and raspberries - I couldn't eat apples - I think there was something else, but I'm drawing a blank right now. Anyway, the same thing was happening - one by one I had to keep taking more and more out of my diet until it seemed i couldn...

    I'm so sorry Rachel, I really hope you aren't having a miscarriage, but i will be praying for you either way. I had a miscarriage last year and it was really hard. Let me know how you are doing. ~Sometimes life is really hard to understand - it's hard to see what God has planned in it all. I still have a hard time with it at times. I'm sure it must...

    To all of you who have been giving advice and wantng to help. Thank you again. I have hope that we will get things worked out hopefully before the baby comes and that I can get this depresion under control. I found a doula to assist with the birth and I think that it will be so helpful. She is so nice and when she found out that we are having financial...

    Leannie, Congratulations!!!! How have you been since posting? Is everything looking okay so far? Please let me know, I hope everything goes wonderfully for you. I'm praying that everything will go well with your pregnancy, and that your baby or babies are healthy. I'm feeling the baby quite a lot lately and it helps me a little to not be quite so anxious...

    Lisa, thanks for the information about the vitamins and blood work. I double checked (again) the vitamins I take and I don't think there is any chance of CC and just to make sure I stopped taking them for a while with no improvement. Something I did find however, was that I had bought a couple of new herbs that should have been fine, but my daughter and...

    ARCHIVED Does Anyone Feel Good

    gary'sgirl replied to ikayak's topic in Doctors

    Have any of you looked into the Specific Carbohydrate Diet? After going gluten free I was finding more and more things that I seemed to be intolerant of. It got to the point were I couldn't eat any types of meat, no nightshades and I had to take out more and more grain options and the list kept going. I didn't have any improvement until I tried the...

    My kids have not been diagnosed with autism, but after going gluten free and having some improvement, we noticed the most improvement after starting the SCD diet. I thought I would mention it because some of the people it has helped the most are children with autism. If you are interested or have not yet seen much improvement with taking just gluten out...
