Amazing. I am headed in that direction too but i was really sick and it is taking a while. =)

Hey guys, I have been off gluten for almost 6 months. Things are going good and i am getting healthier. I am having a few ups and downs still so i figured i would throw out a few questions. 1. Did anybody else deal with fat malabsorption? And does that cause night blindness? Maybe there is another reason for it to do with vitamins or something but...

I know its hard, but you may want to look into some mental/emotional issues as well. Are you getting anything out of being ill? It's not an easy path but there are a lot of good books out there. I had gluten issues and H. pylori as well, but i also found out that i had a lot of mental/emotional issues to deal with. These are common with food allergies...

Thanks guys, No its not soy or cross contamination because everything is whole foods usually. I am not currently eating any grains either. I think it has something to do with my digestive capacity right now. What do you guys think about this whole "don't eat protein and starches together" thing? I ate a big meal last night for dinner but instead of...

Quick question guys, I have been off gluten for about 5 months now. I have been pretty low carb for these past few months. I have slowly added back in a little more carbs in the past month. Ironically, i have had more energy than the past 5 months. However, i have noticed that when i eat a heavy dinner, usually with heavy carbs/meats/fats and overeat...

Ah no, i have only been off of gluten for 5 months. I was sick for 3 years before i found out about it. =)

I have the same problem Greenling. I have had issues for the past 3 years with adrenal stuff. One thing i have learned is that you will overdo it sometimes. I have two things that i have learned. 1. Listen to your body and don't try to force it 2. When in doubt, always do a little less rather than a little more.

I'm talking about people who are already gluten intolerant. Their bread wheat itself is different. And no, you cant isolate one thing from the other because it is a combined effect. All of those things you are mentioning are stresses on the body. Lack of exercise, nutrition, sun, processed food, all stress.

Yea Goof, that is basically what i'm saying. There is a big relationship to anxiety/fear/stress and digestive disorders. One theory i have that implements both sides of this is that it's almost a negative feedback loop. The gluten in part causes a lot of the anxiety/stress/neurological symptoms that most of us missed for years. This in turn, leads to...

ok, you guys are right. There is no such thing as "false beliefs." However, certain beliefs can be very damaging to our systems. Just to clarify, this was not a thread to call anybody out or to argue i was just curious about which people had identified these kind of issues in themselves. I just think that with all these posts on how to heal physically...

Hey all, I'm glad this turned into an interesting topic. I will clarify a few things. I am definitely not saying that everyone on here has these sort of tendencies/false beliefs that cause gluten intolerance. I think there is a ton of factors at play and everyone is different. I do think though, there is an emotional side to everything. Have you guys...

Has anybody ever wondered why there seems to be more women on this forum than men? I have been doing a lot of mental/emotional work lately and one of the big causes of food intolerances are a sensitivity to criticism. I am not saying that gluten intolerance is not a genetic thing because i believe that it is. But i am also willing to bet that most people...

Raw veggies can be hard on the system man. And that is a lot of fruit which can potentially feed some bacterial overgrowth if you have it. I would recommend some testing to check out your G.I health. There are GI pathogen screens that use stool testing and also test the immune system in your gut. I ran a test and found an h. pylori infection i had to...

I know a lot of people are carbohydrate intolerant when they come off gluten. This is probably due to a faulty digestive mechanism. I was wondering if anybody here had these same issues not being able to handle many carbs that eventually got better as they healed. -Joe

T.H. thats really inspiring. How sick were you before you cut out gluten and how long did it take you for your symptoms to resolve? -Joe
