    hey, i just thought to share something interesting i learned today. i spoke with my naturopath about recent health screen results (from a health fair includes blood test). my cholesterol levels have gone up significantly from last year. it's only been in the last few months that i've gone gluten free. but i have been eating a diet high in animal proteins...

    thanks! i always love zen poetry. it gets to the heart of the matter. i recommend the poet, Ryokan. a little book called "Dewdrops on a Lotus Leaf" is full of beautiful moments. Ryokan was a monk in 18C. Japan. Enjoy! :)

    Yes- thanks for posting about eggs. I have been thinking about the egg dilemma a lot. I used to love eggs and appreciated the less expensive/easy protein. A few months ago, my IgG testing came back with very high antibodies to all dairy, all wheat/gluten, soy and eggs. I had no idea about any of it except the dairy- to which I am severely intolerant. ...

    hi, i've been reading your responses with interest. to heal from long standing gut/systemic issues related to gluten intolerance, i've been taking a product called, Body Balance. My apologies if this is not appropriate to post. it is a whole food vitamin supplement of sorts. it has is mostly seaweed and aloe vera juice- there are some other ingredients...

    Hi all, I'm having one of those stupid question moments. Bear with me. I just keep going around and around in my mind. Do I have it correct that the only difference between gluten intolerance and celiac is: with celiac there is an autoimmune response to gluten that damages the villi? is everything else the same- all the possible symptoms (which...

    I've had 'C' most of my life. I just thought it was 'normal' for my body to only have a BM every 4 days or so.... My naturopath was aghast to find this out. This was the case even when I was a vegetarian for 15 years. Only in the last three to four years have I had monthly rotating bouts of C and D. And finally as my health came crashing in me,...

    Thanks for your stories. So helpful to hear them! Good food for thought. I've read that the lactase enzyme is produced in the very tip of villi. So I've been wondering if the renewed ability to tolerate dairy again could signify the healing of villi damaged through the autoimmune response of celiac. And wondering if this would be somehow different...

    I had this done at the beginning of the year with my Naturopath. The test was ran by US BioTek. They have a website that you can check out. Google it. The test is called a FoodStats Antibody Assessment. For me, it was the first indication that gluten was responsible for my health issues/symptoms. I tested high for antibodies everything wheat/gluten...

    Just wondering if there are any out there, with gluten intolerance, who have seen their ability to tolerate dairy come back after being gluten-free and feel like this is a clue to conclusively deciding 'it's celiac'. Would this be true or possibly true? I'm assuming that with gluten intolerance one's villi is not damaged in the same way as celiac to...

    Hi all, I want to thank everyone for sharing their stories and information. I've learned so much in the last few weeks and I've been impressed by the support to be found here. I have my test results in hand, after receiving the phone call that said 'you're negative for celiac'. I now wonder if the tests performed were even enough to say that conclusively...

    I've only been gluten free a few weeks- and my recent period was awful. Just wanted to say thanks for starting this thread. It's been enlightening.

    the celiac disease foundation has created printable brochures. they are brief and informative. go to this link, Open Original Shared Link and look on the right side under the heading "additional information". hope this helps. good luck!
