    without a doubt the scariest part of my gluten reaction is the perceptional disturbances that occur. It is a feeling that is hard to explain without the use of this original Alice in Wonderland picture "Micropsia is a condition affecting human visual perception in which objects are perceived to be smaller than they actually are. Micropsia can be...

    Well, I think it was a gluten reaction. Beware jagermeister.
  3. revenant
    Anybody react to jagermeister? I bought some yesterday and tried it, and felt bad today, but I also had dairy 3 days ago so I don't know which it would have been. I'm scared to drink it again until It is verified that it is not made from gluten-containing ingredients. I have seen that people have emailed jagermeister and they reply that their product does...

    anybody else find themselves off of their food intolerances in daily life, but eating them in mass quantity in binges? I have posted about this before even but it's still happening to me, especially when I'm under more stress, I'll use food like a drug and stuff my face with things that will mess up my body and mind for 3 days afterwards. Then comes immediate...

    Oof. I'm on a candida diet. I should not be reading all of these *drool* I had a salad for breakky

    Great thread idea Mushroom!! I went in to see my GP because I wanted to get my B12 levels tested as I was having neuropathy... The doctor said "There's no point in doing that, there's tons of B12 in bananas!" and because of that wouldn't refer me. Not to mention I went to a different GP and wanted to see my B12 levels from the last time I had a...

    I agree with Skylark, eliminate them completely for 2 weeks then eat a lot of them and see how you feel that day and the next 2 days. I read in a trusted online newsletter that all people react strongly in an inflammatory response to eggs, but I don't have any studies to prove it, but I'm wary of them. Either way, see how you react. I would still do the ...

    Good answer by mushroom but I want to also add that there is a type of celiac disease or gluten intolerance known as "silent" celiac, or gluten intolerance, this is where it does damage to your intestines/physical body, increases cancer risk, or other problems depending on the person, but the person does not feel a difference.

    Yes, that would be amazing. I think the documentary would be even more intruiging if it included self diagnosed and professionally diagnosed gluten intolerants rather than just celiacs. It could include so many healing stories and finally put into the public so many connections between diseases and medical studies that haven't gone noticed but are extremely...

    ARCHIVED Ichthyosis

    revenant posted a topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis

    Hello, anybody here with Ichythyosis, a disorder of the skin resulting in thick, cracked and scale-like skin? I have stumbled upon a few medical studies that have linked children with ichthyosis to having celiac disease, and am wondering about the possible connection to this "irreversible" inflammatory skin disease.

    Yes, it could be. I suffer from GAD and social anxiety and it is unbearable and full of panic attacks if I am glutened (or if I have any of my other intolerant foods, dairy, corn, fructose). Anxiety is common with gluten intolerants

    ARCHIVED Alcoholism

    revenant replied to BarryC's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Yes, I have that infection (angular chelitis) and also life interrupting anxiety and depression, fatigue, bloating/gas, athlete's foot, thrush (white tongue coating), sugar cravings, no sex drive, irritability/anger, dry skin and dandruff, bad body odour, and some other little things. After reading the symptoms and suspecting it as the cause (link at...

    honestly gluten free didn't stop my weight gain because it didn't stop my overeating, just lessened the degree and the types of foods I overate on. Personally I think weight gain has a lot less to do with gluten and more to do with sugar, emphasis on fructose especially. Fructose is a sugar that can't be used by the brain or muscles so it converts straight...

    Does anybody have any information or experience with cortical dysplasia, or just seizures in general being linked to gluten, or other food intolerances? I have a friend who has it and something tells me that there has to be something other than surgery that will help this kid. He also has anger problems (he has tried to kill people on multiple occasions)...

    ARCHIVED Alcoholism

    revenant replied to BarryC's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    glutenous grains are also one of the things that feed candida the most, candida is a yeast that lives in the digestive tract especially the intestines, it lives by fermenting the sugars from your blood stream. If there are sugar imbalances in the blood then candida will overpopulate in the intestines and actually produce alcohol and acetaldehyde (by product...

    Thankyou Seosamh for your experience posting, I've always wondered about wheat grass. Won't dare try it though. Sucks because I hear it is so good, and it's so alkaline and healing, if only it weren't made of wheat. People who really want to consume wheat grass for the benefit of it's extreme alkalizing effect can try alfalfa grass powder, I hear alfalfa...

    .Now I'm not so sure about this test. :/ For the price that it is, I was unsure at the beginning. The naturopath I went to see was really adamant on this being a good choice for me. I found it a bit odd because I already know that I have reactions to sooo many things that what else could there be that would be worth 300 dollars?? I'll go through with it none...

    Hmm, I suppose I'll email my naturpath to make sure. Thanks for the answers. Nora, I've heard that sometimes little ingredients in things can supply unusual proteins from things. Maybe you got mollusks and kiwis from some additives of some sort? Those are two really unusual things lol! basillicious, it's less sensitive? Hmmm I'm wondering now whether...

    I'm getting a blood Igg test for 95 different foods in 3 days. My naturopath wasn't very clear on what I should be eating before hand, how do these tests work? Should i be eating lots and lots of variety on purpose so that I have results from this test? Should I be specifically trying to eat as many of these 95 foods as possible before the test? And what...

    This is wonderful news! I'm so happy for you, and the next chapter of your life

    There are many possibilities when it comes to anxiety and unusually enough they sometimes all come together, cause eachother, feed eachother, etc. You sure she's not getting slightly glutened? I originally went gluten free because I have anxiety also, and gluten definitely can strike up intense anxiety. I have discovered that my anxiety is mainly caused...

    Yeah I get swollen hands very easily, they're one of my most sensitive detectors if I've accidentally eaten something the night before. Every morning I close my hands to read my body. When I stay off of everything my hands feel soo unswollen that I can't stop closing them in amazement! My right hand swells more than my left also, like you. It may not specifically...

    ARCHIVED Neuropothy

    revenant replied to JohnT's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    Definitely get your B12 levels checked, or better yet just pick up a sublingual B12 supplement. Make sure it's methylcobalamin, the easy absorbable kind. I was having neuropathy ever increasing and it turned out all I needed was B12, after taking quite a bit of it for 2 weeks the tingling was gone and I was regaining feeling in my feet, face, hands, dramatically...

    Yeah have trouble with dairy, I sometimes go back and forth, have trouble staying off of it, it's really addicting! It goes right along with my intense sugar addiction and i also have a sugar sensitivity. Chocolate, oh my god... Chocolate... Coconut milk is really good replacement. I find it's especially milk like in icecream, and you can even make it...

    I have this whenever I go back to the food intolerances, but that's the only time. If you're sure that you're not getting small amounts of gluten still, it could be that you have more food intolerances. A lot of the time the symptoms of other intolerances get stronger and more sensitive when we remove gluten, the main one. I guess it couldn't be low blood...
