    Not to say, I do not have friends, its to sat they live a long ways away. Most of them are sick with various sicknesses. I do help out my immediate family with the knowledge computer repair and accounting training from my college days. After service, I went to college a few hours a day, to use up that military free college money. But, at the same time,...

    You have good point and it just very well may work for some people but, again not all. We as human beings are a some of all our experiences in life and, our educational backgrounds. See, I lived on the other end of the stick of life than you did. First I came from a dirt poor family. Church mice had more than we did. Second, my background is of that of...

    I am glad you understand a little bit of what I go through on a daily basis. Think about it this way. What damage could be done to your body if you had Celiac Disease and Hyperinsulinism Hypoglycemia at the same time? Think what damage these disease could and would do to your body and mind if left untreated for 50 years? Yes, this is a forum for Celiac...

    I personally can try and eat all natural foods from the supermarkets but, my sons so far are very weak in mind and spirit. They scream at me all the time and say they cannot tolerate no natural foods. Even though the doctors have diagnosed them with celiac disease, they still refuse to eat natual foods. I can and do have a natural diet worked out for me...

    First off, I have a rebutal for you. According to my imediate relatives, I have had this condition all my life, ever since, I was baby. Since, we came from a dirt poor family and could go to the doctors. We had to deal with our illnesses and disease the best way we could. Back then, we did things by comon sense and trial and error method. That is what poor...

    So as we read off the same sheet of music look up these two conditions. Hypoglycemia diet and the Celiac Diet then, compare the two seperate diets. One says you can eat anything without gluten in it. The other one says, you must watch what you eat and to weigh how much sugar both natural and refined sugars in it. For people with Hypoglycemia, even natural...

    Yes, I can believe that. Sometimes I can be around spices and dried nuts and just sniff or smell them from a bottle of can. I get almost instant smothering and ckoking spells. Some are so strong they bring me down to my knees.

    To the last poster's comments. About 5 years ago, I was really bad when it come to sickness relief. I was having tons of smothering and choking spells after eating just any foods I liked. The doctors back then were still telling me a bunch of lies. For some reason other than money, they were constantly telling me I was perfectly healthy and it was all in...

    The closes I can discribe normal is as follows: When, I was a child and young man growing up people treated me different. I did not know why, it always bothered me greatly, their in difference to me. All the people whom counted would laugh and tell me, I was ok, healthy and not worry about it. The problem was, I was always getting nausea and sick allot...

    [/font I personally am very sick with celiac Disease and Hyperinsulinism Hypoglycemia. But, my sons are still very young compared to me when, I was diagnosed. They can still eat things like that. For instance, Annie's cheese and macaroni comes in a packaged box. There is a package of cheese sause in the box. The box says clearly stamped on it gluten...

    I was born with it and never realy knowed it. I was born way back in 1953, no doctor really knew it that far back in history. I was also born with Hyperinsulinism Hypoglycemia back then too. No doctor knew of it accept the research doctor back in the late 1950's. That is why I am in this hospital bed today. Litterly dieing.

    Sometimes, the companies do not put it down out of fear of not making a sale. I live near a health food and organic store. They have sells personnel come into their store telling them a certain food is gluten free verbally but, it is not written on the label. The company is just trying to make sells and not above using deceptive sales practises to do their...

    Some on here complain or point out discrimination from others whom do not understand their disabilities. That happens all the time these days. For a matter of facts, it has been going on since I was a yong boy. I am now 57 years old and, I still feel the brunt of it even today. People whom are normal in body and spirit cannot really understand people...

    My oldest son Eric whom is 37 yrs old, will eat just about any foods and groups of foods. He eat these ready made gluten free foods from a health food store near us. I have been sick and long time now, I cannot fix his meals and the rest as well. He works all the time and, does not have to the time to cook from scatch. His meals are well balanced with...

    Eating nuts and tree nuts, do cause me to have a smothering and hard to breath situation. Up until, I was 30 years old, I was able to tolerate eating these things in small amounts ever so often. Then, about that time, things changed for me. I had several bad attacks 15 to 20 minutes after eating some shelled peanuts. So, I decided to experiment on this...

    I use to be constipated all the time before, I went on the gluten free diet of mine. Since, that time, I have been going regularly ever since. I have not been in the state of being constipated for over 5 years now. Going regular will help you feel better and is better for you. Mostly it is the bread in the past that you ate the made you constipated before...

    For years and months I lay on the living room floor in from of the television, nausea and sick as a dog. The VA Hospital Medical Personnel were telling me it was all in my head and to think positive thoughts. It would go away with positive thinking they told me over and over again. Well, it did not go away. I was given narcotic medications for Anxiety and...

    I would love to eat cheese but, the it has caesein in it and, it also has Whey in it. I try a protein drink in the beginning about 5 years ago and ended up in the hospital emergency room. The doctor looked at the drink and, told me it was the Whey and other enzymes my body could not take. So, protein drinks were out of the picture. My current food diet...

His old doctor recommended he get the following test done. Insulin Levels A1C Test, Metabolic Profile Test, Celiac Disease Panel Test, and yes a gene test as well. Based on his weight size and symptoms both the older...

    Celiac Disease Panel Blood Test, ask you doctor for this lab test. It detects the genes the labs are looking for in diagnosing Celiac Disease without going into the biopsy thing.

    I have noticed the gluten free food from the stores is looking beter and better prepared. The last three weeks foods that I choice for my two remaining sons looks and smells very good after heating it up. So, I once again decide to tak a taste of it. The foods are gluten free but, the still contain spices, nuts, or chemicals. Well, after tasting some of...

    [/font I have already bought everything in the house, food wise, gluten free. There lies the problem. I have been giving him gluten free food for two weeks now. My 15 year old has full blown Autism in addition to having Celiac Disease. He cannot speak, he's speachless, born that way. He takes a bite or two of his food when, I prepare it but no more. Then...

    In the past I was originally diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and hypoglycemia. Since, then the doctors and lab test have revieled Celiac Disease with Hyperinsulinism, instead. My three sons were tested and found to have Celiac Disease through lab blood test. The doctor said these days they look for genetic markers in the blood and among other things and...

    How many hear have other medical condition in addition to Celiac Disease? I was recently diagnosed with Hyperinsulinism Hypoglycemia in addition to the Celiac Disease. I have known all my life to have this condition but, was never really able to prove it until now. My older family member knew, I had some medical problems since birth but, they never really...
