    Say you are sensitive to gluten, it makes you sick. I am sensitive to dairy and beef and have been sensitive to eggs. I don't tough beef although now after 6 months I could, this is the second time for beef and now I am absolutely repulsed by it. By the way eating beef made me sensitive to poultry. I quit beef and now poultry doesn't bother me. So...

    I forgot to say a couple years ago I lost 22 pounds in less than a month when I reduced my salt intake, I went quite low but never lower than 500 mg which is what I found on the internet. I lost 4" off my abdomin, not tape measure style but it used to stick out 4" more. I went form 'chunky' to a gut like a model except for the flabby skin. It was water...

    Hi, I hope you are still monitoring your thread here. I hope you are taking a positive attitude and have found a solution. I have been gluten free for 5 weeks. I certainly would never consider anything that made me sick a 'treat'. Instead I found some gluten free cookies and those are my treats. I read somewhere 1/8 teaspoon of gluten can cause problems...

    I forgot to mention: I frequently choke on my saliva, several times a day; I inhale it. Sometimes it makes me cough for hours. That seems to have greatly improved, not sure when but it was still bad when I started this diet. I've had this for maybe 14 years. gailc

    Thanks, Oh, the changes were sort of expected. I meant to ask: if NOT Celiac Disease but just sensitive to gluten would I have all these changes? I have had sensitivity to beef and eggs in the past and eliminating them only eliminated the year-long diahreah and associated cramps and I assume the abnormal vitamins and mineral counts in the blood...

    Than you for responding. New question, I'll put it at the top so it is easy to find. Any idea of probability of my losing the Lactose Intolerance once on the diet for a long time? Unfortunately I will go off the diet for a test at some time. I'm not willing right now because it feel so good to have the symptoms go away. Another week and I noticed...

    I hope you get resultsd quickly. I guess I am lucky, or maybe it is not celiac disease. I had experienced 6 different kinds of pains in my intestines and nausea. They went away immediately. I was shocked. I expected maybe two weeks or 2-3 years as I read somewhere for complete healing. I had food sensitivities before, beef and eggs, and after the...

    3 weeks gluten free and I haven't had a pain yet. I'll never eat wheat again unless for a biopsy. expensive though.

    Many years ago I went to a 'Nutritionist/weight loss doctor' because the regular doctor's solution to my constant diahreah was to take metamucil. That didn't work. And my blood tests came back very bad nutritionally. The new doctor did a glucose tolerance test and the results didn't match any of the standard results not normal, not diabetic, not hypoglecemic...

    Thank you for your reply, another question down below. Oh, yes, I need to be tested. I have read if you have celiac you are 100 times more prone to colon cancer. In that case I will never eat gluten again. Also I will know to get tested for cancer more often. My symptoms seem to match my father and his mother. If not celiac I can eat gluten...

    Hi, I'm new to this site. I heard about celiac disease on the TV program The Doctors. I thought "hey that sounds like me" I had just made an appt for a colonoscopy snd because they wouldn't let me talk to the doctor before the procedure I finally cancelled the appointment. I'm not sure if they do the biopsy going thru the mouth or the other end.So...
