    Can someone recommend a book on the Paleo Diet? I think one has probably been recommended, but doing a search, I can't find the reference.

    Takes about three days for most symptoms to show up and they last about three days. Sinus problems build up over a longer period but are definitely gluten induced.

    Thanks, Skylark. I appreciate the info. Her husband is both gluten and casein intolerant so she may be cooking pretty much gluten/casein free already.

    Where are the fats in your diet? They are essential. Apples for breakfast? Where's the protein? Veggies and rice for dinner? Where's the protein? Where's the fat? Carbs, protein, fats. You need them all. Just make certain that the fats are good fats, not trans-fats.

    Testing results from a close relative. Do you think she has any problem with gluten? Celiac blood test

    Wheat/gluten allergy pin prick test is testing for a histamine response. Gluten intolerance/sensitivity/celiac is an immune system response--not histamine. Two different things.

    Irish Heart, you gave a reference to the American Celiac Disease Alliance where they state the following:

    My daughter had very bad canker sores, so bad, in fact, that her physician finally sent her to Mayo Clinic for a diagnosis. They were caused by iron mal-absorption. She has great difficulty getting her levels up. Her celiac panel was negative at that time--she should probably be retested. Since iron mal-absorption is another celiac symptom, it may improve...

    I definitely agree with the magnesium supplement. However, if diarrhea is a problem, adding more magnesium could cause problems--for example, Milk of Magnesia is used as a laxative. Most magnesium supplements are only about 10% absorbed causing the diarrhea. I have found a magnesium supplement that is almost 100% absorbable that I can use without a...

    The increase was gradual over several years, so, no, I could not tell a difference.

    I first had my vitamin D levels tested about four years ago because of my osteoporosis. They were quite low so I increased my supplementation for a year and retested. The levels had dropped. My PCP and nutritionist had no clue as to why they were lower. For the past three years I have supplemented with about 12,000 units a day with testing every six months...

    Yes, definitely. When my sleep problems first cleared up after going gluten free, I didn't associate it with the diet. However, when I got glutened and the problems returned for the three nights that my symptoms (diarrhea, etc.) last, I got the connection.

    Actually, it's great to have you genetic/ science geeks. My son has asked me several things about his genetic chances & I can tell him the things you say.

    ARCHIVED Glutened

    Lori2 replied to DonnaMM's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    For me it takes three days for symptoms to show. Then another three days before they are better.

    But how do you determine if it is safe to go back to eating gluten? My son, diagnosed as an infant as celiac, "outgrew" it on a rice, banana and lamb diet and now has eaten a normal diet for years without symptoms. Since I have discovered that I am gluten sensitive (not celiac) he did the EnteroLab testing, tested positive for gluten and casein and...

    Does anyone have experience with oatmeal from G F Harvest. From their web-site it seems that they do everything humanly possible to keep their product gluten free. They use their own certified planting seed, completely walk each field three times and state

    Diagnosed by Enterolab testing. No self-respecting physician would diagnose an 80 year old with gluten problems. Gluten free for 10 months. Symptoms all cleared except neuropathy and vitiligo

    Gluten reaction time for me is 60-80 hours later and lasts about three days. That makes keeping a detailed food diary essential.

    I have been wondering if the problem with soy is that about 95% of the soy available in the US is GMO. It would be interesting what would happen if someone who is soy intolerant would try organic non-GMO soy. However, I'm not volunteering.

    I am definitely no expert and can only give you my opinion. When I went to the GI doc a year ago (after a negative celiac panel) for my diarrhea and 15# weight loss, his solution was to eat what I want and take Imodium. I tried it for about six months and felt like garbage. When I finally went on a gluten free diet the first thing I noticed, besides the...

    Also remember that even if your blood levels are normal doesn't necessarily mean that your tissue levels are adequate. Your body will draw nutrients from elsewhere (bone, muscle, tissue) to keep your blood levels at the required level.

    We keep trying again and again and again because we know what the future holds if we don't get it figured out.

    Did you check the taco seasoning. As I recall, that is one of the things I gave away when I cleaned out my gluten-containing products.

    ARCHIVED Magnesium

    Lori2 replied to bny06's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Me too. Without a magnesium supplement I get leg cramps and twitches. But if I take enough of a regular magnesium supplement to stop the cramps, I get diarrhea--most magnesium supplements are 10% absorbed. I found a magnesium product that is advertised to be 99% absorbable. It works for me, I can use as much as I need to stop my cramps without any diarrhea...

    My sleep problems clear up 100% when I am gluten free. Anxiety and depression are not major problems for me, but when present are absolutely related to gluten.
