ARCHIVED May Have Found A Huge Answer...but Still Confused (Possible Dairy Allergy)
zebaldwin replied to zebaldwin's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Thanks Shauna! Ya...I'm still confused. I get a migraine usually without fail about 21 hours after eating dairy (mainly cheese)...yet some days where I didn't have cheese or anything dairy the day before I still get a migraine. So I am in the process of doing a daily, in depth food journal. (something I should have started years ago...but better late than... -

Ya, that's what I was afraid of. I am having the hardest time pinpointing anything...especially because I am almost positive whatever it is has a significant delay with reactions. I recently started keeping a very detailed journal, so hopefully that will help

Just curious if anyone here has had the ELISA testing done, and if it was helpful or not. I keep getting so close to finding the answer to my health problems, and I am still convinced it is food related...just looking for a means to find some real answers. Is it accurate? Is it helpful? Also, is it something my GP could do or do I need to go to an allergy...

ARCHIVED May Have Found A Huge Answer...but Still Confused (Possible Dairy Allergy)
zebaldwin replied to zebaldwin's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
I actually was thinking that was a possibility too since I eat a lot of lunch meat and things with "caramel color, natural ingredients, etc etc" that I have read could contain casein. However, over the past few weeks where I was headache free I did eat some of those things problem free...which is why I'm confused (and discouraged) -

For yesterday, I am sure. I checked every label. All I ate was oatmeal with water and sugar, a sandwich with turkey, lettuce and tomato on whole grain white with 100% natural potato chips, and then popcorn chicken and frozen french fries later in the day...checked he label and saw no dairy. However, the day before, I had pasta with a SMALL amount of parmesan... -

zebaldwin replied to zebaldwin's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
About a year ago I actually became a member here and was very active on the board, thinking I definitely had celiacs. I got most of the tests you listed as well as a colonoscopy and biopsy. On top of the that, on my own, I did a FULL gluten free diet for about free months (down to all new cooking utensils and shampoo) with ZERO positive results. At... -

I've had many chronic symtoms over the past probably 7 or 8 years...getting worse over the past 2 years. The core symtoms are chronic nauseous, dizzy, headaches/migraines (nearly every day), general fatigue and weakness, and brain fog. I've seen MANY doctors. Multiple GPs, multiple neurologists, a GI, an ENT, eye doctors, dermatologists, therapists, you... -
ARCHIVED Is This Posible?
zebaldwin replied to zebaldwin's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thanks for the reply! Ya, the only things that really changed were the vitamin D and the diet...got a new script for the D, and trying to stick to a better diet. For the biopsy, do I still need to be on gluten for 3 months? (ive gotten the bloodwork done twice by 2 different doctors while eating gluten, both negative) Thanks again! -

zebaldwin replied to zebaldwin's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thanks love2travel. I have only had bloodwork done. If I wanted to get a biopsy or something, is 6 weeks eating gluten enough or no? Just don't know what to do next :/ -
ARCHIVED Is This Posible?
zebaldwin replied to zebaldwin's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Well the problem is that I felt better going OFF the diet...which is why I am so confused. I guess my bottom line question is could it take 6 weeks OFF the diet for the gluten to start affecting me again? You said that this sounds "dangerous" a few times...what exactly do you mean by that? -
ARCHIVED Is This Posible?
zebaldwin posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I haven't posted on here in a while. I have had a lot of health issues over the past year or so, and decided to try gluten free on my own (negative blood work) I was gluten free for over 3 months with no (noticeable) difference, so I went off the diet. I have been off for about a month-6weeks, and most of that felt a little better, noticeably better...but... -
ARCHIVED Really Need Some Input On What To Do Next
zebaldwin replied to zebaldwin's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thanks again guys...and sorry for all the complaining. I guess it boils down to what you were saying...you saw SOME symptoms go (like maybe stomach problems) within the few months...but I haven't. My stomach is worse than it ever was and everything else is the same. I guess that's where my doubt and discouragement comes from. Also, I think me wanting this... -

Im just getting more and more depressed (and insanely jealous) reading of all the recent people who felt so much better after days... I really feel like I would have felt somewhat better after months. I know I am repeating myself...but this so discouraging. I feel like I just wasted a lot of money and stress on 3 months of this Dont get me wrong...I... -
ARCHIVED Really Need Some Input On What To Do Next
zebaldwin replied to zebaldwin's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Earlier in the semester I did try to eat only fresh meat, rice, and vegetables for about 2 weeks. There was no noticeable difference. But once I am home from school, things might be able to be more controlled, and I am willing to try everything. Unfortunately I am going over seas for about 10 days soon after I get home...so that is going to be very hard... -

Salax, I have scrutinized every part of my life for gluten as much as I can...from buying all new cooking utensils, pans etc...to toothpaste, etc. I am as sure as I can be that I am 100% gluten free...but I mean, how far do I worry? Should I assume there is something I am missing or not? That is part of the problem :/ I just don't know. I have been mostly... -

Ravenwood: I have gotten vitamins etc checked. I have a D deficiency which I am on a prescription for. But I believe that is from dropping dairy (another problem I can tie to actually going on the diet, besides losing more weight than I can give up) I have eaten very little if any processed food over the last few months. Mostly fresh meat/veggies, coldcuts... -

zebaldwin posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
First of all, I have been on this board for about 4 months now, and everyone has been nothing but help. Here we go, When I first heard about what celiacs was and its symptoms I was so excited. I have been sick for so long, with nothing even close to an answer. Quick recap: my main symptoms include some digestive problems (upset stomach every morning, after... -
ARCHIVED Should I Give Up?
zebaldwin replied to zebaldwin's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thanks eatmeat4good and Mushroom... I have tried eliminating other things. I didnt eat dairy or soy or gluten for a good chunk of the six weeks. But being in college my choices for food are severely cut enough with gluten, so I added gluten and soy back (after no results either way) I mean, for them, will it also take up to 3 months? It seems like trial... -
ARCHIVED Should I Give Up?
zebaldwin replied to zebaldwin's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
iamsurar, how long were you on the gluten free diet with no change? And when you say NO change, was there literally nothing? I just feel like if I am cutting 99% (even if I am missing something little) it should help SOME... I have already checked toothpaste, mints, etc...I think I am cutting everything. I was never the hypochondriac type, but now I... -
ARCHIVED Should I Give Up?
zebaldwin posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Like everything else I've tried, I was praying so hard gluten was the answer, and so far, like everything else, it has done absolutely nothing. I have had chronic headaches and weakness and most recently brain fog (my scariest symptom) I went gluten free on my own about 6 weeks ago after testing negative through the blood test. The brain fog, headaches... -
Hi Zebaldwin, I found this article on flora and apples and I remembered you wanting to improve your flora... this is so neat - eat 2 apples a day! http://intestinalgardener.blogspot.com/
Just wanted to pass it along.. I thought it was an easy, and healthy 'trick'.

ARCHIVED In Desperate Need Of Some Positivity :/
zebaldwin replied to zebaldwin's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I suppose you're right and I think I'm inpatient for a lot of reasons. I do plan on giving it the best try I can though. (even though 4 months sounds like eternity right now haha)
