    LOL I agree with this too based on my own observations. In the past I've had 4 colonoscopies, 4 upper endoscopies, cat scans. I've been told more times than not that they found inflammation not only in my stomach due to severe acid reflex but in my duodenum, large and small intestine, too. It is fleeting though, it comes and goes, it doesn't leave that big...

    Yes, I saw a hematologist three years ago because my anemia dipped lower than ever but it was only temporary. He ran every test you could imagine back then and I was told I was fine. He checked me for every type of anemia, even the rare forms. He deduced I had slight iron deficiency due to menstrual blood loss. Then I went back to him about six months ago...

    This definitely makes sense, thanks. I am at such a loss though because I had major surgery a year and a half ago, traditional surgery too where the surgeon opened me up, making a point of checking every organ, he was meticulous. I've had two abdominal/pelvic cat scans since too, nothing abnormal has showed up. I know even a tiny polyp could cause bleeding...

    Hi, thanks for the responses so far. Well, the thing is when I was tested for Celiac a couple years ago, I was eating gluten. I made sure of it. I also know that a couple years ago I went gluten free for about a year.... that was the only time in the last 10 years that my iron, iron saturation and ferritin were in very healthy ranges! I have kept...

    Hi, I have Selective IgA Deficiency. Mayo Clinic clocked it at a big, fat 0. I've had endless intestinal issues my entire life. Numerous, scopes, etc. I've been told I have inflammation but it's never been conclusive enough to say Crohns or another form of colitis. It's more like a fleeting inflammation that comes and goes. My immunologist said that is...

    I am wondering if this diet helps Candida issues and if not, how I can also kill the Candida while on the SCD diet? Anyone have experience with this?

    I also forgot to mention that I DO carry the Celiac Gene. Mayo found that. My gastro down there said immediately that I needed to try a gluten free diet. I asked her why she was recommending this since my blood tests were okay minus finding out that I carry the gene. She said they do not always go by testing, they go by a complete history, listening to the...

    Hi, thank you for the information and the link! I am not exactly sure what Mayo did for Celiac testing but they tested me while keeping in mind that I am without any IgA so I assume Mayo Clinic would know what they're doing as far as testing BUT they said I tested negative. I remember my immunologist I saw several years back told me that IgA Deficient...

    Hi. First off, I have Selective IgA Deficiency. Mayo Clinic, Rochester, clocked my IgA to a big, fat, ZERO. I didn't realize all of my intestinal issues since birth relate to this IgA Deficiency until the age of 23 when they finally diagnosed me. I have suffered with chronic diarrhea my entire life. Severe GERD, and during the past 10 years severe...
