    Domesticactivist, I am going to check your blog for recipes. I have been reluctant making changes in my diet but I am trying to be more open to Gap, paleo while feeling depressed already mourning the food I will have to bury and forget about.

    Hi, thanks for all the helpful GAPS info you have posted :). Quick question, if you dont mind: I'm vegetarian & would like to do gaps, I am prepared to eat fish to make the boths - do you think fish stock/broth alone could be as effective (altho perhaps take longer) as using meat/chicken offal etc.

    Many thanks!

    We use the Green Pastures Fermented Cod Liver Oil. Our daughter takes the Green Pastures Butter Oil/Fermented Cod Liver Oil blend. My naturopath started giving me B vitamin shots. This is a good way to supplement it because it doesn't rely on your gut for absorption.

    I can't believe I missed this thread! You've already gotten good advice. Our family has been on the GAPS diet for a year and it has worked wonders for each of us in different ways. I highly recommend doing the introduction GAPS diet. It really helps both with healing and with identifying foods that cause you problems, since you start out so basic and slowly...

    We make our own as well. Stock is always on hand and that makes it REALLY easy to whip up a variety of soups at the drop of a hat.

    Yup. I have ADD when I'm eating gluten, as does my daughter. My son has ADHD and extreme dyslexia when on gluten. We're all much more able to think clearly without it. The GAPS diet has also helped. You might be interested in reading the book - it's all about the gut brain connection. Studies are now starting to show links between celiac and ADHD, schizophrenia...

    Ps is she feeling better?

    Bubbas mom sainwhat I was going to. Do not put her back on gluten! An endoscopy now could be good for follow up testing purposes either to compare with a previous result or as a baseline for future testing. Has she been screened for other autoimmune diseases? Hashimoto's, liver conditions, diabetes type 1... I'm on my phone so can't pull it up more details...

    Whether this can work depends partly on where you are, but I used midwives for both my pregnancies and deliveries at home. My midwife's husband was a naturopath which worked out great. It was about a tenth of the cost of seeing a regular doctor, and my babies and I got much better care!

    I know the feeling! I never want to leave my kids and fear for them when I'm away (or they are). When we started making our changes it was especially hard because they were going back and forth to their dad's house, and I had to trust him. But I say go on your trip! If you are looking for an excuse not to go, then by all means this is a fine excuse. But...

    I hope you tell all those drs exactly what made the difference! Maybe they'll eventually think to tell others What a happy surprise!
  12. domesticactivist
    Yay! Congratulations! That could definitely confuse your symptom-tracking Is it your first baby? Any idea when the baby is due? I bet your doctor will be surprised!!!

    You mean I might have a butt someday? !!!

    Ps my add got much better gluten-free and came back worse than ever during my two month challenge. Same with my nonceliac daughter. My son's ADHD cleared up as did his extreme dyslexia. This really does affect our minds!

    Your post isn't too long at all welcome! I felt horrid when I first went gluten free. Part was withdrawal and part was that I tried some gluten free products that didn't sit right with me. I've gotten the vertigo (dizziness) from medications and I've also gotten it seemingly randomly. I just got it the other day, actually. I was near the end of my gluten...

    Do you have a copy of your test result? What was tested? Also, are you sure you are not being cross contaminated? A few things to think about: Do you have a mixed household? What about your cosmetics? Do you have or work with children who eat gluten? Did you replace cookware? When we first went gluten free I felt horrible for months. Actually worse than...
  17. domesticactivist
    Heck yeah, people would find that useful!
  18. domesticactivist
    It is totally fine to go gluten-free in solidarity with your child. Our family took that approach and it made a positive impact for our son emotionally and physically. Having a gluten free house makes it much easier to stay safe. It's good you've already been tested. IMO anyone who plans to go gluten-free should get screened for celiac first. I didn't...
  19. domesticactivist
    Sounds like a good plan. As for feeling a difference - I just felt worse when I first went gluten free! It actually took me months off gluten and going on GAPS before I felt better. Having gone on GAPS made me think maybe it was gaps and not the gluten that had helped me. A year later I did a gluten challenge... the first couple days I felt surprisingly...

    Hi and welcome. The first thing to do is get a copy of your kids' medical charts with labs! If you post the labs there will be lots of folks here who understand them.

    What kind of allergies are they? I ask because if they are just IgG allergies, that indicates "leaky gut" and the reactions will just show up to whatever he is eating. If you are not seeing reactions it's also possible those foods aren't actually a (long term) problem. It's really tough to adjust to a new diagnosis and find out there are all these foods...

    Have you read the Gut and Pyschology Syndrome book? Over the past year our family has been doing the diet, which is aimed at restoring the gut flora to a healthy balance, getting nutrient dense food, and reducing inflammation & further damage. As for my mental "health:" Bipolar including major depressive and manic episodes with suicidal ideation,...

    I'll pm you with the link to instructions

    One more thing - you mentioned your testing was 6 years ago. If you are on a diet containing gluten now and really want more testing, do it now, before going gluten-free. I'd want a full celiac panel and probably another endoscopy as well, to get baseline information for follow-up testing down the road.
