  1. What do you do to deal with SIBO? Do probiotics help? What kind of foods can you eat?
  2. But that's just the problem. How do you figure out what doesn't agree with you? I've been keeping a food journal for over a year and I still can't figure some of it out. Eliminated rice several months ago and that was a big help, but there's still something--but what?
  3. I have osteoporosis, too. Please be sure to post anything your doctor suggests that might be helpful.
  4. I had an IgG food test a year ago. Two of the items that I showed an intolerance to, I have not eaten in over thirty years--lobster and lamb. Interestingly, I showed an intolerance to gliaden but not to gluten or wheat--?????
  5. Enzymedica has so many different formulations. Could you tell us which one you use?
  6. It takes three days for my symptoms to appear. Example: Christmas Eve(Saturday) we ate at 8pm. My diarrhea and nausea started on Tuesday night at 9pm.
  7. Also, you were gluten free for two months before testing and only back on gluten for two weeks. That could have had an effect on your results.
  8. Or you may be like me and have a sugar sensitivity. Gives me most of my same symptoms. Sugar (beet and cane), honey, agave, xylitol, raisins, dates.
  9. My brother has just been diagnosed with CML and I am wondering if there is any connection with celiac. He also has sarcoidosis which is on some lists of celiac symptoms.
  10. Udi's doesn't work for me. Not sure why.
  11. Too few people have a good idea of what constitutes a gluten-free diet. I have a number of relatives who have tried a "gluten-free" diet for several months without any positive results. For example--a brother-in-law, who was told he shouldn't eat wheat--so instead he ate potato bread. A daughter who made a casserole--but it was OK, it only had a tablespoon...
  12. If you're going to Enterolab for testing just your gluten sensitivity, I could save you some money and predict that they will probably 99% find you positive. However, if you are also going to have some food sensitivity testing, I would say, "Go for it." Although it was expensive, I found their information worth it for me.
  13. I think that some of us are just so tired of working on an elimination diet and coming up with few answers that we are willing to try anything that seems like it might give us a clue of some sort.
  14. Do you have a link for information on a hair test? It sounds a little questionable, but then, so do a lot of other things.

    When my frequent, loose bowel movements turned into diarrhea and I lost 15 pounds in two months, celiac was one of the first things I thought of. After two months of improvement on a gluten-free diet, I asked my doctor for celiac testing. I did not know you had to be eating gluten to get a positive test. Unfortunately, my doctor didn

    If you recognize that all these allergy/intolerance tests have a certain degree of unreliability, I did find that they were helpful for me. My gluten responses are delayed by about three days. That makes it a little difficult to identify problems. I knew I was having problems with more than gluten. We have a gluten-free household and we don
  17. What a person reads on a forum proves nothing; however, on a forum I was just on, two people stated that their doctors told them that if their diarrhea awakened them in the middle of the night, they should look for a reason other than IBS.
  18. If it works in mice, why wouldn
  19. This may be off topic, however: My husband has Alzheimer's, getting into the latter stages. I have had him on a coconut oil/MCT oil mixture, three tablespoons a day, for three years. Obviously, I think it has helped or I would not have continued it for so long.
  20. Six months after the gastroenterologist told me to
  21. So, if 1/2 teaspoon of soda in 8 oz of water does not produce any burps in 10 minutes, is it safe to assume that I possibly/probably have low stomach acid?
  22. Skylark, I wonder if you could tell a little more about how you use coconut oil. Do you just use it in cooking or do you use the MCT oils alone?
  23. Do your gluten symptoms always happen immediately? Mine take about three days to appear.
  24. My daughter's canker sores were debilitating enough that her physician eventually sent her to Mayo Clinic for a diagnosis--iron malabsorption. Her ferritin, % of saturation and iron levels were way out of the normal range. When she gets a supplement that she can absorb, her canker sores are gone. Yes, I know, it screams to me of a gluten problem, but her...
