    Huh, so maybe I'll try and do low salicylate without totally getting rid of them
  2. kaygato
    I've had a lot of cognitive disorganization since I was a kid and was suspecting maybe additives and salicylates were to blame. With salicylates, is there a test to tell if there's a problem? My holistic doctor I go to ran some tests, and basically he said after I asked him that becaused my ammonia wasn't high I didn't have salicylate intolerance. But I saw...

    I'll for sure get more thyroid testing @Jmg Any other comments? Thanks everyone

    I have been eating gluten free, but I keep getting glutened by accident. I'm trying to be more careful these last couple months. I also don't have a gluten free kitchen, I live with my folks who are not into gluten free. I was tested for hashimoto's and grave's 5 years ago, and I do have the antibodies for both. They are significantly above the reference...

    Thanks everyone. No, I haven't had celiac testing done. I've brought it up to a previous doctor, but they didn't think I could have it because I don't have pain...hwowever, that was the opinion of a psychiatrist. The current doctor is doing an ANA test and something else indicative of autoimmune diseases, so I could probably get her to do a celiac test...

    Hi. It's been a while since I posted on here. I kind of went into a wormhole for 3-4 years and tried to forget about my health problems, but it didn't work. I have equal parts mental and physical health issues. Chronic fatigue, which to some is arguably mental, and also some mental health problems that haven't been well defined. Right now, I'm so anxious...

    I'm planning on trying a low to no grain diet, something like the south beach diet. I'm already gluten free but want to lose some weight and eat less starch and sugar. I've heard of people on grain free diets still eating quinoa, millet, buckwheat, and brown rice. I've also heard amaranth talked about in this way too. My question is what are the healthiest...

    So I've been wanting to lose weight, and this type of diet seems like it would help. I'm also doing it as an experiment to see if it'll help with my lingering depression and brain fog. I'm planning on doing it for at least a month. Anyone have tips for me? I'll probably be back to complain when the cravings hit.

    Thanks everyone! I'm planning on not dipping the wafer into the wine this Sunday. Also, I know that it's 100% gluten free.

    I've been on the gluten free diet for about 3 months and I'm not feeling that much better. I'm avoiding a couple other things as well (I'm on a doctor prescribed elimination diet), but am especially concerned about the gluten. I know from the enterolabs test that I'm sensitive. I haven't bothered to think of cross contamination a lot because just sticking...

    "The undersigned believe that Chipotle Mexican Grill is a wonderful example to fast-food restaurants of the ability to maintain integrity and offer healthy foods; and that Chipotle Mexican Grill will continue this example by removing soybean oil from their food, and replacing it with a healthy oil that is not genetically-modified, such as extra-virgin coconut...

    I found this petition at gopetition.com that was started last April. It looks credible to me, but so far has only 122 signatures. It ptitions Chipotle Grill to eliminate soy products, including soybean oil, from all of its food products. Please sign it so Chipotle might become be more like its slogan- "food with integrity". And pass this along to anyone who...

    Is this a problem? My parents think I'm overreacting and its "such a small amount". Also what do you do if you get generic and the manufacturer changes often when you go to refill it? Thanks for the help!
  14. kaygato
    Hey I realize this was posted a while ago, but are you still around jemms? I also have a low libido and recently eliminated gluten and dairy, and am curious if it improved for you. Also has your mood improved? I also have problems in that area.
  15. kaygato
    Just realized I probably posted this in the wrong section. This should be in Other Food Intolerance and Leaky Gut Issues, I think. Is there a way I can move it?
  16. kaygato
    I'm on an elimination diet reccommended by a holistic doctor. It was by elisa labs and I reacted to a lot of foods. I'll admit I've slacked off in some areas (I've had a few things that contained soy, corn, and egg) because I though gluten dairy was more of my problem. Anyway, I've already cheated and had eggs several times and I'm feeling like allowing...

    Thanks you two, I'm still getting used to having to ask for ingredients and special menus in restaurants. I'd like to get to the point where I barely ever eat out, but i'm still getting in the habit of cooking for myself. I'm in college.

    I can't seem to give up the french fries, but I'm not sure what to do to make sure they're safe. How do you order french fries in sit down and fast food restaurants?

    I most likely don't have celiac, but testing says I'm sensitive to it so I started an elimination diet 4 days ago. I also was sensitive to a lot of other foods, most notably yeast, dairy, soy, egg yolk, and a couple veggies, nuts, and most seafood. Anyway, I've been lurking around the forums for the past couple months, and I've seen conflicting opinions...

    I'm avoiding gluten along with dairy, and several other things I tested as sensitive too. I'm doing an elimination diet so after several months I'll challenge myself with these food, one at a time, to see if I can tolerate them. My doctor said I'd most likely not tolerate gluten and yeast, and probably dairy based on my results. My reasons for looking...
  21. kaygato
    Well I posted several months ago wondering if I had a gluten intolerance because of a miriad of symptoms I have. I recently went to a holistic medical center and had a bunch of tests done, which included food sensitivities. It was IgG and done by Alletess Medical Laboratory. Turns out I'm sensitive to a lot of things. barley, green beans, pinto beans...

    We have a lot in common. I'm also taking the EmpowerPlus supplement. Although it's expensive, I'll probably only try one bottle. I also have hashimoto's but my Frees are still in the normal range. I'm curious if I have thyroglobulin antibodies as well, since I have a great aunt who had graves and got a thyroidectomy in her 50's. I know I should just bit the...

    I did read what it means. It said that I have one of the main genes that predisposes to gluten sensitivity and celiac sprue. It also said I have a non-celiac gene predisposing to gluten sensitivity. I guess I was just curious if anyone knew more about the specific genes I have, but it doesn't matter too much. This might be a stupid question...but why...
  24. kaygato
    I finally got my results back. The results of my gene test were: HLA-DQB1 Molecular analysis, Allele 1 0302 HLA-DQB1 Molecular analysis, Allele 2 0301 Serologic eqivalent: HLA-DQ 3,3 (Subtype 8,7) My fecal IgA was positive for gluten and eggs. I'm curious about the gene stuff. Can someone who is smarter than me tell me what it means?
  25. kaygato
    I haven't posted in a while because I haven't had anything to say. Here are my lab results: Fecal Ant-gliadin IgA 14 units(normal range is less than 10 units) Fecal Anti-casein(cow's milk IgA) 6 units (normal range is less than 10 units) Fecal Anti-ovalbumin(chicken egg) IgA 17 units (normal range is less than 10 units) Fecal Anti-soy IgA...
