    Is there a "success story" part of this forum where people get better and write their stories and inspire others? If there isn't. I feel it would be very beneficial to the community. It would also be very inspirational and educational for thos who are struggling. I feel like most people on here are people who are suffering. It would be great to have...

    I try to eat just meat and veggies and unproccessed food, but sometimes I get cravings. Tonight blew up in my face though. I'd rather be craving foods than dreadin that I set myself weeks back in healing. I guess I'll just have to try harder and keep to my guns about avoiding processed foods. I'll have to find some way to prepare foods for when I travel...

    my wife does eat gluten, but not in our house. we just moved and made the pact to not cook anything with gluten in our pots and pans. i know i shouldn't eat out and, believe me I really try not to, but my wife loves to go out and i can't deny her that. we are in a new city and don't have any friend yet, so how fun is life if all we do is stay home at night...

    I also forgot to mention that I did take supposed anti-candida probiotics when I was on the anti-candida diet. Its a product called "symbion" which I guess is similar to "three-lac". After buying the symbion, I realized I was a total victim of marketing, so I don't know if it was a good product or not. But I think it might have help me digest things a...

    Thanks for the reponses. I have pretty much just been eating meat and produce for awhile now. I also only drink water for the most part. I took out dairy for a few weeks, maybe even a month. I took out soy for a few weeks, but i feel like I don't even eat that many things with soy anyways. I also tried a candida diet for a few weeks. After really...

    I've been gluten free for roughly 9 months. Within 48 hours of going gluten free I noticed I stopped having diaherea and indigestion/acid reflux. After 3 months I realized my asthma was getting slightly better, that was an unexpected surprise. After 7 months. I didn't have asthma anymore. I can actually run without and inhaler. I had a very enlarged...

    Kim69, did you get an intestinal biopsy to confirm you were celiac? Or maybe a gene test to see if it was/wasn't possible?

    Oh and about the thyroid issues. If it means putting me on medication or getting parts of me removed...I would rather be the way I am. I am done with taking a medication that I "have" to take all the time. I think I will stay this way now until I am forced to change. But maybe I am jumping the gun. I might not even have any thyroid issues. I could...

    Thank you for your reponses. I am going to try to deal with cross contamination. It seems to me thats probably the primary cause of still being so tired. I had no idea it would affect me that much. But for instance I made fried potatoes today on a cast iron grill and got so so sick afterwords and horrible brainfog for hours. Now that I am aware of...

    I have had my thyroid tested. They've checked blood sugar and deficiencies as well. That was probably the first thing they tested me for about 20 years ago. I've had it tested recently as well. I have low vit D...or I did a few months ago. I have been in the sun so much now that it is summer...I doubt I do. But that is also a symptom of celiac i...

    Thanks for responses. I do think cross contamination plays a role. I am moving about 3000 miles away soon and selling all my stuff, so I can't buy new cook-ware. But I just realized the other day that I use my mother's wooden cutton board and cast iron grill. I was trying to cook eggs yesterday with alumuminum foil on the skillet, that was hard haha...

    My problem with the human race is so very few of us are open minded. Americans (if you are born and raise in the US like me) especially seem to be intolerant. I am from the US, so maybe I am biast...but I am not impressed with most people I know here. Its seems like most Americans have "Its my way or the highway type attitude". Like they even call...

    I have been attempting a gluten free diet for a little over 5 months now. I (think) my energy levels are higher. And within a few days, I could tell i wasn't having loos stools anymore. But today, for instance, I am so tired I can't even perform at work. I had to go home to sleep. I feel like a failure in life, I am so sick of being tired for everything...

    Eatmeatn4good - that is very inspirational. Thanks healinginprogres - I wish you good luck in your healing. I know it is really hard to deal with, but it seems you are on the right track. txplowgirl - how did you come to the conclusion you had to remove soy and dairy from your diet? Its so overwhelming to see all these reactions to food causing similar...

    Thanks for your response, Ciavyn I have had my mental symptoms checked extensively. So, while I am not denying they could be a part of it...there are just some pretty upsetting symptoms (me feeling this distant from reality, forgetful and tired all the time) that can't be defined by anything me or my doctors have learned from testing, therapist sessions...

    I haven't been officially diagnosed with gluten intolerance or senitivity, but I have a huge list of symptoms that fit. These are symptoms I've had my whole life or nearly my whole life. Even though I tested negative with celiac blood test, my doctor told me to try the diet for 3 months because I didn't want a biopsy. My question is this. I have been...
