    that is a good point.

    I get the educating the masses and agree with that. i was reading older posts here and on other sites today and it just seemed to me that there was a recurrent theme where we transfer our anger about the disease onto people who do not understand/have it. That thought intrigues me.

    It amazes me how upset we often get when friends, family, and coworkers do not "get" Celiac. A lot of our posts here revolve around waiters who do not get it, store managers, and other food prep people. But in all honesty how many of us had any clue about Celiac before we realized we had it? Even with all our research since that diagnosis, we are still learning...

    To me the virgin coconut oil does not taste like coconut at all. Just oily.

    In my experience most nutritionists simple parrot what they heard in school and fail to accept anything that challenges that view. I am not saying this is one of them; however, I think we put too much stock in their opinions.

    I really am not sure what need there is for more care than you mentioned. There is nothing they can do for celiac. Often a specialist will refer you back to your primary care with instructions for any regular tests they want and ask you to come back should things change. The 1and 2 year visits make perfect sense to me.

    For emergency hunger or when the blood sugar is low and you have cravings, go with the staples. Chips, fritos, tuna, hot dogs that are gluten-free, etc. I find many of the purposefully made gluten-free items to not be good when that evil raving hunger hits.

    I like the SCD; however, my biggest issue with it is that the site and book seem outdated. The other big issue I have is their pushing of the homemade yogurt even if you have a bad reaction to milk. I believe in the book she mentions to go for it unless you are anaphylactic. Many of us have allergic reactions to milk that are not anaphylactic but are also...

    I read this and said to myself "What is there to cope with?" You do not need any test to tell you if you are on the right track or not. A great many of us here have tested ourselves repeatedly with diet.

    I have one and it causes me a significant amount of GERD issues. I can often feel discomfort right over that area.

    If you start making fun of someone with cancer or Alzheimers, watch how fast they correct you and then ask what the difference is between what you did and what they keep doing.

    dairy hits me harder and faster than gluten. so does soy.
  13. Chad Sines
    Does that mean that women are complainers?? jk. I think it does mean that they do not just ignore things and pretend they will get better. I do agree that many men just live with it. I accepted IBS for the last 5ish years for the most part instead of just forcing the issue. Even when it got really bad, I refused to go to the doctor. I would be interested...

    With celiac being autoimmune, it is similar to the fatigue when your body is fighting a cold or flu. At least for me it feels this way. Your body is reacting to what it thinks is bad and that attack process takes a lot of energy. It zonkers you. Double espresso, sugar, more water, b vitamins, etc. Nothing touches it for me.

    i have pretty much nixed dairy..mostly although i do want to experiment a little to see if it is a true allergy. What is odd is that this did not happen before the whole celiac thing kicked in. When i was on atkins about 5 years ago, cheese of multiple kinds, hard, soft, was a very heavy part of my diet. used to have whey protein all the time. Then again...

    How much of this is really a lactose intolerance, ie deficiency of lactase? You can take pretty heavy doses of lactase, so it should resolve with consistent supplementation; however, it seems that many have issues beyond just what seems to be a deficiency. I noticed the same thing with me. The issues I have fit more with a milk-product allergy rather than...

    I did bad on Christmas eve and Christmas. Not a lot but enough to be considered bad. Paid for it Sunday. Ironically I was perfect over Thanksgiving and felt worse; however, i think the issue there was that i did not avoid dairy.

    GI. I am always fatigued, but nausea is one of those things that really impairs a person. That low-grade come and go is a killer.
  19. Chad Sines
    i do not believe in the stuff but apparently it is supposed to break down the gluten protein. Interesting theory; however, I do not know how they are proving that it tears up the part that the body sees as foreign.
  20. Chad Sines
    i liked that article. the doctor was speaking about latent celiac and negative biopsy celiac. He even mentioned how the old way of thinking is no longer valid. Unless i am mistaken and missing something, i do not think a non-celiac (i do not differentiate celiac vs gluten intolerance, allergy, etc since tests fail so often) will have symptom relief with...

    The first year celiac book is a great one IMO. it was the first i read and I loved how it was a good starting guide. i bet you she will come back to you with questions as she reads it.
  22. Chad Sines
    The thing is she mentioned she is getting better gluten-free. That is not going to happen if the diagnosis is wrong. Sure there might be additional issues going on, but a positive response is a great diagnostic tool. I just read an article that someone posted from an MD in the child thread where the doctor even stated using it as the simplest and very effective...
  23. Chad Sines
    I kinda wonder what good aggressively confronting her would do. Doctor vs lay person. Doctor says no need for gluten-free, person says there is need. Remove all our celiac knowledge and who would you naturally side with, the doctor or non-doctor. I would be afraid of irreparably burning that fence with a harsh confrontation that has a strong likelihood...

    pretty simple. if being off gluten is working..then...well...you got your answer. every doc has their on beliefs, biases, and proclivities. it sounds to me that you already have your answer but this quack has you bothered a bit.
  25. Chad Sines
    I agree with the others. Think of it before as a constant "sickness" your body was fighting. This evil invade was being attacked all the time which as we all know when we have a bug makes us tired, achy, and the longer this goes on, the more worn out the body gets. It is all interesting except for the fact that the evil invader should just be ignored.
