    Not a mystery at all. You are healing!! Hooray!! My doc says celiacs can still have inflammation and "issues" well beyond a year. More like 2 or 3 or 5 years. Healing takes time. And the issues go beyond just the gut. Try to be patient. Looks like you are on the right path. You got a good report yesterday. I just had my 22- month checkup today and...

    Mo! Just wanted to tell you (and I posted this in the "What are you making for dinner" thread, too) --these sausage patties ??---are awesome. Thank you, hon!! xxoo IH

    Please, read this thread? Maybe it will help. It does not have to be that difficult, I promise you. Karen has done a lot of work finding all these great ideas ...and a travel cooler helps a lot.

    As we have discussed, so many times these past few weeks, (and Bunzer Bean, I love ya, girl!!!) I am so proud of you--for being so strong and for moving forward. All good things are coming, sweets, I promise you! hang tough, xxoo G.

    "Natural flavors" does not necessarily mean "gluten". If there is WHEAT in a product, it will say so on the package. please, read this: Open Original Shared Link

    Not sure what you mean....and I want to help, but why are we blaming the cashews? You need to eat.

    Quinoa is not technically a grain. It is not a member of the grass family. As a chenopod, quinoa is closely related to species such as beets, spinach, and tumbleweeds. That said, we all may have foods that give us grief. But the majority of celiacs can digest and enjoy quinoa. Lectins are another situation. Foods with high concentrations...

    Just my opinion, but if I were to start dating right now, (good lawdie, let's hope not!! ) I'd make dinner first at my house (where I know it's safe) and then after dessert, I'd tell the girl flat out.."I have celiac disease and this is what I have to do to stay safe....." The girl will either run... or stay and learn. Why beat around the...

    Girl, I still drool with every post you make. I LOVE swiss chard. (and I love you, kiddo.)xxoo so, tonight, I tried GFreeinMO's homemade sausage patties and I will send her a PM to tell her that she nailed that one big time! yowzers! Our apple trees are bearing so much fruit and the addition of the apple to a local farmer's hand ground sausage...

    This is a blog. It is not a medical journal article. It links to a "consultation" with a "health advisor". Cyrex labs is run by a chiropractor who will charge you an outrageous fee to tell you that you supposedly "cross react" with other food proteins like gluten. Absolutely no scientific or medical evidence has been published to support this theory...

    Yes, I do not think any of us suggested sunshine alone would boost those D levels up where she needs them, rather we suggested it would help. (makes me want to move to Florida. The winters are long up here in the Northeast) Medline: Ten to 15 minutes of sunshine three times weekly is enough to produce the body's requirement of vitamin D. The sun needs...

    Sorry, hon. er, um, move to California? (just teasing) I've been to Seattle. Had a blast!! Pike Place Market, very cool.
  13. IrishHeart
    Your doc should check you after 6 months of supplementing. And IMHO, any sunshine is a good thing.

    Guys, We are all suggesting the gall bladder as a problem to her, (I had the same issues with digesting fats before mine was removed, too) but she says in her second post: "I already had the HIDA scan and Ultrasounds of my liver done, the HIDA was negative"

    Would you call that a "diagnosis"? really? I would call that "forensic analysis"...but why split hairs? And you know full well I was talking about diagnosing food allergies and specifically, in that context.... you little scamp.
  16. IrishHeart
    I, too, find these types of "medical scams" sad. People in pain will try anything to get well. (I know, I was one of them) There is no scientific or medical evidence that NAET or muscle testing or hair analysis etc. will "diagnose, cure or treat" anything at all. I saw one Pub Med article about one case of NAET, but the evidence is weak. It concluded...

    There are many comments in this article that I could poke holes in, but in particular, this passage that states a gluten free diet will cause: "Nutritional deficiencies. People who follow gluten-free diets, especially without instruction or supervision from a registered dietitian or doctor, may develop vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Because so many...

    Food intolerances develop over time. It's not possible to become intolerant to a food protein in one day. There is no time for antibodies to develop. You feel as if everything is making you sick because your GI tract is inflamed. The last thing I could put down my burning throat was ACV, peppermint or any other "remedies" the ND suggested. As I told...

    It will come up in time as your gut heals. Eat foods with Vitamin D, too and get some sunshine. 41 is within normal range, according to the lab where I have my tests done, but some suggest over 60 is optimal.

    These guys gave you good options for making your own crusts, but if you look in the Whole Foods store's freezer section, Against The Grain makes two pizzas: 3 cheese and Pesto. And Glutino makes a decent personal size pizza...and crusts, too, I believe. Both good --if you feel like keeping some ready -made ones in the freezer. They are good in a pinch when...

    aw, that's so sweet, K. She's "home" and she owns all of you now. I count birds here for Cornell Lab of Ornithology, so I get the "counting" thing. That's good of M to help. J. trained all the cats to stay off the counters/table by gently "misting" them with a squirt bottle. Does not take long. They do not like it. We do let them on the furniture...

    Well, Barty (and everyone ) you have heard my spiel on probiotics, but I'll say it again: take them!! The small amount of them in a container of yogurt is doing squat to replenish your gut "good guys". You need some big guns. Custom Probiotics (powder form) are free of gluten, dairy, soy and corn. I asked him when I started using them. They are...

    I agree with "Gotta Ski" and Chill. If it's at your house, serve what you feel is best for you. I made Thanksgiving, Christmas or Easter dinner every year (except when I was very ill in 2009 & 2010 and I went to my sister's or stayed home) and I resumed it all again last year. No one questions what I serve at my house. They happily eat everything...

    It's a great magazine. Many of the articles are so helpful, I bring them to my GI doctor to read and he gives them to his patients. I highly recommend it.

    You sound like me a few years ago and my first thought is: too many cooks. You have too many people offering advice and "treating you" and as much as I wanted to believe in the value of homeopathy, the truth is, all those supplements and herbals can often cause more harm than good. The first thing I noticed was this: your initial GI Dr. "indicated...
