    Hmmm... It sounds like you need to go on a gut-healing diet like Open Original Shared Link so you stop developing all those allergies and intolerances. GAPS is an extension of the Specific Carbohydrate Diet that can be done dairy-free. If you get intolerant to whatever you eat a lot of, non-mainstream doctors and health practitioners are starting to think...

    I'm off grains doing GAPS/SCD so I don't have many options. I don't add much honey to my "sweets" either. I'd recommend starting with blanched almond meal. Bob's Red Mill is nice. The almond meal tastes good to begin with and my baked goods are coming out moist and flavorful. There are lots of almond meal cakes and cookies on the SCD recipes site. ...

    Have you looked at almond meal or coconut flour recipes? They're pretty simple, usually meal, eggs, shortening, sweetener, and spices so you wouldn't really need a mix. It's a nice change from the crazy 5-flour gluten-free starch recipes. Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link

    I FINALLY figured out my random nausea was the return of my dairy intolerance. Gluten and lactose may not be the only foods you react to.

    There aren't any restaurants that work for you? I'm pretty happy at Outback with an unseasoned steak, salad, and steamed veggies. It's not super-expensive.

    It happens. This is why anti-gliadin alone is not considered a good test for celiac disease. The biopsy can also come back fully celiac, or somewhere in-between. You really need a biopsy with your results so keep eating gluten. Thing is, developing celiac is a process and the anti-gliadin can be the herald of gluten-caused inflammation and developing...

    Let me get this straight. You are asking whether to trust a liar? Stick with new doc. He sounds good.

    What changed 3 weeks ago? You may be getting gluten in a medicine, cosmetics, pet food, or some other odd place.

    ARCHIVED Remission?

    Way to go!

    Gosh, you'd think the inflammation from only two days of gluten would have settled down in a month. Poor thing. There are tips in the book for getting picky kids to gradually accept the diet. GAPS is helping me, plus I started it dairy-free and discovered that part of my problem was losing my tolerance to dairy. (Rats.)

    For me, intolerance symptoms typically show up the next day or possibly the day after, although sometimes I react within hours. I don't always get the same symptoms or severity. I tend to react more strongly when I eliminate a problem food for a few weeks and then reintroduce it. They test fecal IgA. The false positive rate is rather high. Presence...

    Diet alone won't fix candida overgrowth. Nature abhors a vacuum and as soon as you go back to your normal diet it will regrow unless you rebalance your gut with probiotic foods and supplements. By the way, do you have clear signs of candida like recurring vaginal yeast or thrush? So-called candida symptoms can be caused by a lot of other things like...

    The inflammation from eating gluten may have her reacting to more things. How long ago was the brief gluten challenge? You might have a look at the GAPS diet that is designed to heal the gut. The doctor who uses GAPS on her patients claims that it heals many food intolerances. Open Original Shared Link

    I don't even want to think about the smell! Glad you liked the links.

    Yogurt will still make a dairy intolerant person ill. I haven't really found a satisfactory substitute for buttermilk. You can use coconut milk and a tablespoon of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar to activate the baking soda, but you don't get the flavor or moisture the buttermilk adds. Adding a little applesauce or an extra egg and cutting back the...

    There are a lot of people who get ill from gluten and never have positive celiac tests. Your TTG is negative, meaning you are probably not celiac. Problem is the test is only positive in 80% of the folks with celiac disease. It misses one in five. It would be good if you can get the more sensitive deamidated gliadin antibody test while you are on gluten...

    Oh, 4 slices of bread does have about 20g. Fair enough.

    I hate to tell you this my Hashi's antibodies have steadily climbed and my thyroid progressively gotten worse. I've been gluten-free for six years now.

    You're sure it's not cold sores (herpes simplex 1)?

    You need to give yourself a big hug. You deserve as much of your own compassion as you offer to others! Your own reactions to gluten are not somehow less important than those of the rest of us on the board that you have been supporting so generously. You wouldn't dream of telling someone else who had uncomfortable reactions to gluten that they were hypochondriacs...

    The scale is the reference range on your lab slip. I'm not sure why Burdee thinks she can pull ranges that would apply to your labs off the Internet and then declare your test abnormal. I can play the same game and claim you had a normal 32% T3 uptake on a reference range of 25-35%, but in truth we don't know which T3 test you had or what units the results...

    ARCHIVED Monsanto

    Monsanto is evil.

    Good grief. Yes, you sound celiac. Also my asthma didn't really improve until I went off grains and dairy too.
