Latest Celiac Disease News & Research:

    I am currently treating several diabetic patients and their main concern is about their autoimmune antibodies attacking the islets of the pancreas. In celiac disease, destruction of the intestinal villi seems to be a concern of many people, including myself. This paper discusses "in general", how autoimmune antibodies function and the fact that they...

    I am a Naturopath/Holistic MD. There is great concern about whether or not autoimmune antibodies kill healthy cells, both in celiac disease, and in diabetes. In celiac, the concern is

    I want to discuss how gluten affects our bodies, the reasons we need to stay away from it, how antibodies react to gluten, are gluten antibodies a problem or are they normal and of no concern, do our bodies accumulate foreign gluten proteins? Recent studies have suggested that our autoimmune antibodies are normal, that they are supposed to attack foreign...

    You, like most, probably have "leaky gut". Normally a lot of mucus builds up inside and outside the intestines when the gut leaks. Guts normally start leaking due to candida. Candida roots grow through the intestinal walls, then die, leaving little holes. The holes need to heal and close up. The candida fungus needs to be killed via several months of...

    ARCHIVED Lichen Sclerosis

    That's a good first step. Systemic candida (invasive candidiasis) is probably the root of the problem.

    I think the high gluten content in grains now-a-days makes grains an undesirable food for human consumption. I have read that tens of thousands of years ago that wheat berries were plump and juicy, and contained very little gluten. Today

    I use Candex and Candida Clear, as well as Grapefruit Seed Extract, Wormword, Garlic, and more. They work well. Regarding taking these with probiotics, I would definetly take them several hours apart from each other so that they don't kill the probiotics. Some people take herbs like these (antiseptic herbs and candida killing enzymes) for 3-4 weeks...

    I think the best test is "go gluten free and see if you feel better". If you do, then you tested positive for gluten intolerance. Just tell "family" that you tested positive. Are they going to want to see the actual test results? Chemical tests are not always accurate. You know how you feel better than anyone else. I would never put my health in...

    I know people who no longer are insulin dependant after going on the paleolithic diet. I personally had RA and it is almost all gone. I have regained all of my flexibility. I think I personally had Sjogren's, because I couldn't really even spit, without it sticking to my lips. Now my saliva is much more liquid and I can actually drool again, like normal...

    Open Original Shared Link "Dr. Fasano adds that more research is needed. He is currently conducting experiments with diabetic rats. Preliminary results from his experiments show that insulin dependent diabetes occurs in lab rats about three to four weeks after increased intestinal permeability. The researchers believe the increased intestinal permeability...

    ARCHIVED No Appetite

    Dr. B replied to rgarton's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    You might be taurine deficient and taurine plays a very important role in the body. You might also have systemic candidiasis, which causes weight loss, anemia and auto-immune diseases. I have found that the body seeks it's ideal weight and so I wouldn't worry about it. Sometimes the "loose skin" that results from the weight loss, that results from...

    It has been proven that people with celiac have an increased level of zonulin, which is said to be responsible for the opening of the junctions between the cells of the intestine. I believe that Candida roots (rhizoids), are responsible for the increased permeability because they grow through the intestinal walls, then die off, and that causes increased intestinal...

    I have had the same symptoms several years ago and I contributed it to a fungal overgrowth (candida). After going on a candida diet and doing candida cleanse's for many months, all of my dis-eases went away. The paleolithic diet (almost no grains) also works well for me. Grains have proteins that leak through the intestinal walls and can cause an auto...
