    Thinking you can be glutened by paper towels, toilet paper rolls, bus seats, envelopes, linens, vapors, sperm, clothing, sheets, books from the library or walking down the bread aisle ...is paranoid. (yes, I have been asked all of these questions in the last 3.5 years) Note: I do not trust just anyone to cook for me. I have a few friends...

    ***NOTE*** those brownies I linked to? well, I made them and tasted one because if I don't like it, I am not serving it....and... Not my cup o'tea at all. (blech) here's what I know about "skinny" recipes. They are skimpy on flavor/texture most of the time. Those suckers are gonna need a healthy dollop of GELATO to make them worthy.

    Fascinating article and further evidence by what I mean by people have to find what makes them feel pain in their muscles and joints. The "fibro" word is a dead-end diagnosis Don't buy into it. Who would think that some fruits and vegs were causing her pain? Crazy. High histamine foods sure caused me trouble.

    and it's not even possible for me to don mine here in Florida. (although I could sweat off a few lbs. if'n I put that sucker on)

    and I go to people's houses where gluten is sometimes served and I am cool with that. My friends know how to make G F dishes safely or I bring my own...And I bring Prosecco. lmao Yeah, gluten-phobia is not necessary--for any of us.

    I did read her book, hon and I passed it forward to Lisa (gottaski) to read, so I can't look at those particular pages, sorry. Is it the doctor she went to and he did the testing, said she had more food intolerances and then gave her a bunch of supplements to take? I think you already know my opinion on those tests, but if she says it works for her...

    But you already co-exist with GEs'--successfully. You know how to do it and that works for you. My house is a no gluten zone. I do not think it's extreme in our case. J and I do not eat it. I'm not going to bring it in now. There is regular beer here for guests. That's about it. It's just what we do. No one I know finds this a problem or an...

    Hope you all like it!! Going to my friend's house for a BBQ today. She's got ribeyes, corn and prosecco. I've got caprese salad, dessert and prosecco. Another person is bringing prosecco. Looks like we've got enough prosecco. (maybe) This is dessert http://www.skinnytaste.com/2014/04/pb2-flourless-chocolate-brownies.html I lost 2 lbs.this...

    I am interested in the work of Fasano et al RE: the microbiome. I see that other researchers are working on finding out WHY gut dysbiosis occurs and how to treat it. Open Original Shared Link May, 2014 article that concludes: "This research has broad implications for future therapies that go beyond the introduction of a single organism to induce...

    Hey Chilly! May I ask where this article came from? Whenever I read something like this: Whether the gut becomes permeable from Candida that has set down roots through the small intestines or from damaged epithelial cells, oftentimes pathogenic bacteria can overpopulate the area, causing gut dysbiosis. I look for citations.

    Absolutely no gluten allowed in my house. Even when my family and friends visit for a few days--they eat the gluten-free bread I make or buy. Or when it comes to lunch and they have to have a sammy on rye or a roll, we go out to lunch at a place I have vetted as safe for me that has gluteny options for them. . Yeah, I am the center of the universe when...

    gee whiz...I thought my mom was a "tough love" girl.

    The first time I had vodka, so I can confidently say it was the gluten. The next time it was crown royal. It seems people think this should be ok? But, that's not true, hon. I drink vodka. Daily. There's no gluten involved.If there were, I'd be dead by now. Distilled alcohol is gluten free. So, if you felt lousy after drinking, it's because...

    Oh look, guys...we've got another Lucy in our midst!! You are too young to know this I am sure, but I call this behavior "LucyRicardo Syndrome" My hubs will say "Lucy!!you got some 'splainin to do.....what have you gotten yourself into now?""" because I am the original bruise queen. You probably missed my chipmunk story, my ankle story, my bruised...

    Karen makes an excellent point. for so long, I could barely choke food down or retain it. My GI tract burned and I was forcing myself to eat after DX. As things progressed, I could eat more and a wider variety of foods. It took 15 months before I was turning a corner, then I put on weight....and then, I was eating all kinds of foods I had not had in...

    Honestly, I have not met a single celiac who simply stopped eating gluten and all their problems went away. Not one. On the contrary. Just about every one I know has had multiple related health issues, other AI diseases, a slow recovery and other food intolerances. (which resolve for the most part after a while) When I hear that someone gave up...

    You're not missing anything. I may have not made myself clear. Sorry about that. Let me try again. I said he uses the term to discuss how the intestinal barrier can become permeable in some people and allow for the development of autoimmune diseases. He discusses zonulin in particular. But if someone does not have celiac or other AI diseases,...
  18. IrishHeart
    It is my understanding that Dr.Fasano et al are looking at genetic factors at work in autoimmune disease. He is researching biomarkers for AI disease and possibly NCGS. I have not read anything where he says anything about other genes and celiac

    "may be".. and this must be major breaking news... b/c I saw him in April and he said what i just told you..
  20. IrishHeart
    Dr Fasano says emphatically that the HLA DQ2 and DQ8 genes are the only ones relevant to the development of celiac. The doctor in JenE's book has a unique approach, I'll say that. That's all I will say because I respect Jennifer as a person --but not even the celiac researchers will get behind IgG4 food intolerance testing. It's JE's choice to follow...

    If the doctors have ruled out structural & mucosal reasons for why you have fat malabsorption, maybe you should look at causes outside the gut. They include: Open Original Shared Link. Open Original Shared Link. Addison's disease. Open Original Shared Link. Open Original Shared Link. Open Original Shared Link. Open Original Shared Link. Widespread skin...

    SW Remember when I told you that my joints also popped like mad when I was very ill, thin and my muscles were compromised? As I have become stronger, I am putting on weight, I have been able to use light weights, walk, go to the gym and the popping is less. A lot less. Everyone's joints pop. I know you have gone to a gazillion doctors but honestly...

    I know you are suffering, hon, and I feel for you, but I do not see how removing even more foods and nutrients based on invalid testing is going to help you gain weight at this point.

    I like to walk through the giant bakery section at BJs, staring with wild eyes and pointing at all the products and saying loudly "It's poison! Poison, I tell ya!!" . It's fun. My poor hubs...walks quickly away from me, pretending he does not know me.
  25. IrishHeart
    Dr. Fasano uses the term "leaky gut" in "quotations" like that in the book and he does air quotes when he uses "that phrase" when he presents at conferences. I saw him do it. I met him. In the context of explaining gut permeability, he meant it in terms of a process, not a condition that all people suffer from as some alternative med types will have us...
