ARCHIVED Genes Can Be 'changed' By Foods
FaithInScienceToo replied to Claire's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Did you mean GEing? - for genetic engineering, or is the acronym GM for the same thing? Anyway - this is bizarre - first I've heard of it.... To me, it is sad - makes me think humans are just too self-centered... perhaps one of these chimeras will rise up and bite us in the buttocks one day.... This thread in now bizzarely interesting...and... -

ARCHIVED My First Celaic Panel Lab Results

Hi, Guy from Loooooong Island.... I will write my answer in 'parts:' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PART I Definitey gotta 'vote' for the biopsy isn't worth it UNLESS: 1) you NEED one for insurance, or to officially write-off costs of gluten-free foods (which typically amounts to very little in... -

ARCHIVED Genes Can Be 'changed' By Foods
FaithInScienceToo replied to Claire's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Very cool, Claire - From the article, it seems that the genes themselves do not change (so the markers would not change), just the effects of them would change - that is, whether or not they get 'activated' by something in the diet would be what changes, and therefore whether or not they are 'told to' proceed to harm the body would be what changes - ... -

ARCHIVED What Should I Ask To Get Done? 11-7-05
FaithInScienceToo replied to a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I respectufully strongly disagree with your conspiracy theory. I would like to suggest that you look into a support group for Gilbert's Syndrome, since your stomach symptoms are very typical of it, and are influenced by many natural substances. Best wishes, Gina -
ARCHIVED What Should I Ask To Get Done? 11-7-05
FaithInScienceToo replied to a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Glad that you found the link to be helpful. I was AMAZED to learn about all of the food issues surrounding Gilbert's... Sorry to hear that your doc dismissed it, in a sense. Anyway...keep sleuthing, and pushing your docs, too, until you find all of your answers. Best wishes, Gina -
ARCHIVED Criticizing Ideas And Not People
FaithInScienceToo replied to FaithInScienceToo's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Rachael, My perceptions of what occured in the thread are my own - I felt that a number of people behaved improperly, including myself. The improper behavior of others, in my opinion, included 'ganging up behavior' - which continues here... My problem with Kaiti centered around her putting down the intelligence of anyone who believes the negative... -

FaithInScienceToo replied to FaithInScienceToo's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Deb, I will have to respectfully disagree with you about whether or not others said anything inappropriate in their posts. AND, I never said anyone 'called me names' - where'd that come from, Deb? Anyway, glad that you have made good friends via the Net. It can be a friendly place, especially when people learn how to be polite - I would like to... -
ARCHIVED Criticizing Ideas And Not People
FaithInScienceToo replied to FaithInScienceToo's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Nice to hear that others have come to similar conclusions in their web-experiences, and have even learned when to walk away... If I could go back and 'do it over' now, the ganging up nonsense that went on (a very immature version of a popularity contest), the rude comments directed at anyone not believing in the paranoid conspiracy theory, and the like... -
ARCHIVED Criticizing Ideas And Not People
FaithInScienceToo posted a topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Hello. Today, I learned some REALLY important things about being on a web support group, and I wanted to share them here: One thing I came to understand is that no matter how defensive people may get, it is still ok to criticize their ideas...but, it is NEVER ok to criticize a person. I also learned that when someone criticizes me (and/or those who... -

Hi Dancer, Just curious - did she address your Gilbert's Syndrome at all, and all of the foods that can affect it? Also, did you check out this link about that?: Open Original Shared Link Best wishes, Gina -

ARCHIVED Rapid Test Stick 4 Cd
FaithInScienceToo replied to mommida's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Sorry...I don't know where my mind was this afternoon when I was writing to you...not only did I confuse York and Enterolab, but I totally forgot that this test gives results in 10 mins! About a 're-test'....I'm not sure what you mean...I guess you mean that you are worried that IF you test positive, that your insurance won't allow you to re-test in 6... -

ARCHIVED Oprah - Let's Get Cd On Her Show
FaithInScienceToo replied to floridanative's topic in Publications & Publicity
Right... we should not, of course, suggest that 'all' grains are bad' or even that all people need to stay away from wheat...and, trying to suggest anything along those lines would not be productive...point taken. Gina -

FaithInScienceToo replied to a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Have you read anything at all about Enterolab? BTW, serologic testing for celiac disease was only 'discovered' a few decades ago... Why does it seem so odd to you that stool testing for antibodies is not used by medical docs YET? Gina -
ARCHIVED Casein Antibodies
FaithInScienceToo replied to FaithInScienceToo's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Hi, All - Thanks, Claire for continuing to push these concerns - I now plan to retest for antibodies to casein after about 6 months of both gluten-free/CF... If they come back positive, I'm off casein forever... If they are 'negative' at that point, though, I will then do a 4-day rotational intro of dairy WITH enzyme usage...If symptoms return... -
