I didn't say that we must try to have zero impact on the planet (impossible), or that we must live in some mountain top cabin and collect rainwater and forage for seeds in the forest all day long. That just sounds like an attempt at minimization aimed at the facts I offered in my previous post. You give a reply which is caricatural of what I am trying to...

It sounds like it might be worth trying to go soy free for a couple of months. I might give it a try! Just a note though, I eat only organic soy whether it is in soy milk, soy dessert or tofu. So we can scratch the GMO and the pesticide issue off the list. Just a note about this comment: "I'd ditch the soy for "ecological and humanitarian...

Hi I have been gluten-free for almost 4 months. My neck and shoulder pain has improved and my nausea is gone. Also, my cracked heals have heeled (weird). 1 week ago I completelly removed dairy. I did it for ecological, humane reasons, but I also know that it can be good for one's health. so far I feel just as tired, just as congested, and actually more...

I read that cracked heels can be a symptom of hypothiroidism (and diabetes?)? maybe my thyroid was affected by the gluten? (even if i tested normal for thyroid tests). But it is no coicidence, I am sure that our smoother heels are related to diet change. i had had this issue for years and it was bad, very cracked and dry.

I have had badly dry and cracked heels for years and since going gluten free 3 and a half months ago, they have HEALED! I noticed it a couple of weeks ago! Now it's some calous but no more cracks. before they were deep cracks to the point that i was a little worried. It's just incredible. How can it be?? anyone else?

But lactose intolerance doesn't necesseraly come from villi damage, does it?

Thanks all. I am not sure I have villi damage though. My blood test was negative (tTG) and I have not had a biopsy... but thanks for the info on Yogurt, cheese, ice cream and lactose.

thanks for the thread title "What are your glutened symptoms?". I'll go look. It had been 8 weeks gluten-free for me as well! I had also read that Doritos were gluten-free and once i got the bag home, I read the ingredients and had them anyway I though what the heck, I can handle cheating... we'll see how it goes. Mayber I AM coming down...

What causes that? Can you link some articles that talk about those symptoms?

Hi, Maybe I am totally off here but I ate a bag od Doritos yesterday and I noticed they have wheat flour in them. I went to the store and bought a bag, i was craving them so badly for days and when I got home I checked the ingredients and there was wheat flour in them...... I admit I saw that before i ate them and ate them anyway, I caved. It had...

Interesting, up until a few weeks ago I was craving almonds almost constantly and eating easily a half cup a day. The doctor said I was low in iron (though not anemic), so that could explain the incredicble fatigue I have during, and the week after my period. (still tired all the time, it is just worst during those times). Aside from that all my...

I have decided to stay gluten-free even with negative test results. I feel this is the best thing for me. I have contacted the hotel where I will be staying and they will accomodate gluten-free for me. So people can be really understanding!

I called my doctor and received the news: anti gliadin (which I didn't know she tested for) is NEGATIVE tTG (anti transglutaminase) is NEGATIVE I don't get it. why is my nausea gone and neck and shoulder pain so much improved? Am I crazy? could the tests be wrong? Is it that there are many proteins in the "gluten" family and gliadin is...

That makes sense. Have you noticed a lot of improvement (except when you have your period obviously!) since you went gluten-free? With what symptoms? My neck and shoulders are better, but if I get too stressed (like today at the emergency vet hospital with my dog) or spend too much time a the computer, I still hurt quite a bit. And the fatigue is still...
