    Thanks for the reply. Bloodwork came back showing strong sensitivity to eggs and dairy, so have eliminated those completely. I did some additional research on the UltraClear Plus and it looks ok, but the doc said I could just see how things go with eliminating those and the many, many other foods I know are a problem (vinegar, garlic, citrus, chocolate...

    Hi - I'm wondering if anyone has any experience (or info) about a medical "food product" called Ultra Clear Plus. My allergy doctor has offered it (in combination with a rotation/elimination diet) as an option to help with my growing food sensitivities and related symptoms. It's supposed to help with detoxification and healing. I'm willing to try it...

    After posting, it occurred to me that I could just google it. Here's one summary (there were others similar to this): "This is the most common form of testing for leaky gut. The person is given a solution containing mannitol and lactulose and collects their urine for six hours to be tested. Lactulose (a disacharride) and Mannitol (a monosaccharide) are...

    I'm curious -- how do they test for leaky gut? I just went to an allergist a couple of weeks ago, and the topic of leaky gut came up, but she never said anything about being able to test for it. But I'd definitely be interested in testing if it's possible.

    This thread is kind of old, but I'm fascinated by the idea that similar constellations of symptoms might be connected to these different types of genes. For those who know your gene type, I'm wondering how you found out -- did a particular doctor or specialist order the tests? Did you ask for them yourself? I don't know what gene type I have, but my celiac...

    So, I am still trying to figure out what's behind this latest round of food sensitivities. I just ended my 9 days without eggs and 7 days without dairy or corn. None of this seemed to improve the recent breakouts on my face (covering my whole face, been going on for several weeks now). I'm starting to wonder if it might be a reaction to sufites -- I've...

    ARCHIVED Do They Exist?

    ellie-lynn replied to Mey Marie's topic in Doctors

    I hope not! I think part of the problem is that many primary care doctors see celiac as something a specialist should deal with, but most GI doctors don't have much training to deal with celiac. Most GI research focuses on other kinds of gastrointestinal issues, and since the treatment for celiac is food-based, there's not much money flowing in from drug...

    There was a documentary out not too long ago (Food, Inc) that had some footage and commentary on the factory farming of chickens - I believe they specifically discussed Tyson, which is the largest producer of chicken. The movie aims to advance a particular point of view, and some of the footage, while not necessarily surprising, is still pretty graphic....

    Isitreally: have you seen any improvement of your symptoms? I'm almost 4 months into my gluten-free diet and just in the last 3 weeks or so have developed acne (or something acne-like) and a lump in my mouth (not sure if it's an ulcer or what). I'm about 5 days into an elimination of dairy and eggs, and about 2 days into eliminating corn and soy. Also...

    I'm having a similar problem. I saw an old thread on this site that suggested breakouts could be caused by a sensitivity to soy (or corn). I don't think I'm eating any soy, but I haven't checked my vitamins/supplements.

    I was having leg pain and occasional weakness before I got diagnosed -- some of it was bone pain (ache) and some was more neurological. My vitamin D was low/low-normal, and my rheumatologist put me on mega-doses of D. The bone pain started to go away, even before I knew about the celiac and went gluten-free. The gluten-free diet has resolved the weakness...

    This is interesting. A year prior to my celiac diagnosis, I developed a ganglion cyst on the palm of my hand (it's still there). 2 years prior to my diagnosis, I developed an abcess around a tooth that had been damaged in an accident many years ago. Not sure if either of these are related to the celiac, but it's entirely possible. Re: acne -- I'm...
