About Me

For many years, I was misdiagnosed with eczema, TMJ, IBS, fibromialga, KP, bipolar. I was delighted and relieved to finally learn that I was gluten intolerant because I could fix my diet and I felt better. I was told to avoid soy and corn, but I have not noticed any difference from doing so. I was disappointed to find out I am casein intolerant (protein in dairy) and I have not noticed a difference from eliminating it. I found out I am cross reactive to yeast and buckwheat where my body acts like they are gluten. I am still looking for a yeast and dairy and casein free cheese, but going without buckwheat is not a big deal though I have to be careful that gluten free items do not have it.

Current diet: fruit, vegetables (except corn, nightshades, mushrooms), nuts (mainly almonds), meat (mostly poultry - chicken and turkey), beans (lima, kidney, pinto, but not soy)

Supplements: digestive enzymes, probiotics

    I do not have any hard evidence or a reference to refer you to. I think gluten or something else your body stored got released and is causing your symptoms. Symptoms are similar for a variety of issues. Not to negate that you feel glutened rather to suggest the possibility that something else can cause a glutened like feeling. I like what the previous posters...

    unfortunately it seems like your results are inconclusive. to my knowledge i do not think your increased levels would be a result of hashimoto's. if anything the gluten could contribute to hashimoto's, the blood test results, and celiac's. i do not think it works the other way. hopefully someone can give you more information for the meantime until...

    i have heard good things about Integrated Health Systems at 3601 South Clarkson Street, Suite #420

    sorry i have not read it. but your post captured my interest. from what i have seen it looks like it shares characteristics and ideas with some books i like and have seen before. it seems broader than just weight loss. i think that is just the catchy title thing to get people's interest and get the truth out about the problems of gluten beyond just for those...

    just reading it makes me kind of feel sick. it sounds way to processed to me. it is also heavy on grains. some people are cross reactive to other grains including rice. i stay away from artificial sugars which tend to give people problems even if they do not have celiac's. i would go with stevia instead. maybe switch to regular meat instead of deli meat since...

    the doctor checked for h pylori and parasites. they were negative. we did a couple anti-parasite programs any way. i also did an anti-candida program. had not heard about all the cc issues with corn. it is not labeled real well. probably because it is not a "major allergen." i wish i could find a good doctor. my experience has been they do not listen...

    I had a lot of health problems last year. Someone suggested gluten could be an issue so I started going gluten-free in the spring. I was diagnosed last summer and I went completely gluten-free. I also was told i had casein intolerance so i went of dairy. I was also told to avoid soy and corn. At times, I limited nightshades and grains. I noticed some improvements...

    yes butter has casein. it makes a difference if the issue is casein or lactose or some other issue. careful with non-dairy cheese options many still have casein in them. even vegan ones which makes no sense to me. daiya is a good option if you can have yeast. for milk i like almond milk another option is rice milk i would not do soy since it is a common allergen...

    I ate at Outback Steakhouse for the first time ever. I do not think I had been there even before being diagnosed and going gluten-free. I went there because of their free steak promotion. I asked about how I could have my steak done and not have to worry about CC. The waitress brought me out a gluten free menu. I never had a special menu before at any restaurant...

    In my opinion no need to apologize, I have been wanting to ask something like this. I think you asked it in a different and great way. Thanks for asking. Undiagnosed for long time so had lot of symptoms including some digestive/GI ones 26 - Diagnosed via lab testing gluten-free - 1 year 4 months currently 50% some symptoms have lessened but other...

    Lot of good points from those who already posted. In particular, I would suspect she has a problem with gluten regardless of what her tests may say. If you have kids and both go gluten-free it will be great for them. I wish I had never had gluten and casein if I had not I would not know what I was missing in regards to taste. I have found I crave and miss...

    celiacs does not have to cause digestive symptoms. undiagnosed gluten intolerance wreaked havoc on my body. i have blood sugar and thyroid problems that seem to be tied to it. i also think that is why diabetes amongst other problems runs in my family is since the real problem had gone undiagnosed for generations. i am surprised they found she tested positive...

    i am probably too old to be her pen pal. but i would like to share my experience with her . i was diagnosed last year. i was so sad and angry i had to suffer so long (twenty some years). i am so relieved that i can feel better by eating the right stuff and that i was right all these years that something was wrong. i wish i had never had gluten. i imagine...

    I had the EnteroLabs stool testing. It is gross but then it is over and it gave me answers I had been searching for - for years. I had the complete gluten sensitivity and gene panel. I found out I have autoimmune problems, intolerance to gluten & casein, and genetic risk for gluten sensitivity and celiac's. It was totally worth it. it has a huge advantage...
