  1. I was wondering the same thing. Anybody?
  2. I guess I will need to get both books and research them. I definitely don't want to have to mess with getting a yogurt maker & making the yogurt, so maybe I will go the sauerkraut route. Is that something you just buy already prepared? Do you know how long it should take to know whether or not the diet is working? Thanks!
  3. So, is the Breaking the Vicious Cycle SC diet still the best one to follow?
  4. I don't have any other auto-immune disease. My doctor did the TTG igg/iga and the endomysial IGA. (The endomysial came back normal.) So, I am not really sure how to interpret that. Also, I haven't had oats since being diagnosed. I am considering trying the SCD diet though. Although, it sounds so restrictive.
  5. Thanks. I am just frustrated as it's been around 20 months and I still have some digestive issues. I had hoped my blood test numbers would have been in the normal range by now so that I could attribute my ongoing symptoms to IBS or SIBO.
  6. How long should it take for the follow-up blood panel results to normalize? It's been a little over a year and a half for me and although my numbers have come down quite a bit, they are still not in the normal range. I am extremely cautious with my diet & products that I use, so I'm not sure if it's from cross-contamination at restaurants or that I...
  7. That's good to know. I will check the articles out. Thanks!
  8. Thanks. I am still having some continued digestive issues, however many other things have resolved. My doctor thinks my continued symptoms could be due to IBS, SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth), or refractory celiac. He wants to do a follow-up endoscopy to see if my intestines are healing.
  9. Hello, I need some help understanding my follow-up celiac blood panel results. At diagnosis, about a year and a half ago, my TTG igg was 53.7. It is now 13.7. My TTG iga was 222.5 and is now 22. My question is, is it a good thing that my numbers have come down quite a bit, or is it bad that they are not negative by now? I follow a very strict...
  10. Glad that it's working for you and you're doing better.
  11. Thanks for the info. What about the probiotics? Which brand/type do you take?
  12. What specific probiotics do you recommend? There are so many different strains and different brands. Some are not effective, as they are not live past the date of manufacture. It's difficult to know which one would be beneficial. You stated that reducing carbs & sugar may not work on a bacterial overgrowth. This is a quote from Elaine Gottschall's...

  14. I know, this totally sucks! What type of probiotic are you taking? Have you been reducing your carbs & sugar as well?
