    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...

    i was diagnosed last year. i was so sad and angry i had to suffer so long and that people acted like i was crazy and healthy but i was sick and suffering and no one listened. i still am frustrated the doctors all missed it. though i do not know that they caught it someone else. they just did not seem to know about or focus on the possibility of gluten intolerance...

    the biopsy could have had a false negative so even that might not have been a total help. also cannot change the past. seems to me the bigger issue is his acceptance especially since there are limitations to all the tests. gluten seems so addictive people going on splurges like a drug user goes on a binge or has a relapse. and having withdrawals when you...

    i do not think he would develop an intolerance to gluten because he ate gluten free. i think it could be that since he limited gluten at home and has it when he eats out it makes the symptoms more noticeable. i would talk to him in a loving way about it. let him know you care and want the best quality of life and what you observed and how he might benefit...

    sounds like they are not ready to hear about the effects gluten are having on them. so if i were you i would focus on getting their support versus trying to convince them they need to change their eating if they want to feel better. i do not see any where about if you asked them why they get annoyed when you say you cannot eat something. is it because...

    yay! i am happy for you! it is also encouraging for those of us who are still struggling and trying to figure out what we need to do to feel better.

    I love the Enjoy Life chocolate chips and chocolate bars. They are perfect for me since they do not have dairy or soy. I hope you give them a try you will not know if you like them unless u do. Best wishes!

    thanks!

    sounds like it could be related to your thyroid. especially if there is not a family history of baldness. the change in texture and quality reminds me of my experience. going gluten-free helped clear it up for me. however, something seems to be making my thyroid flare up again and my hair got brittle and has been coming out. i love the book why do i still...

    i wish they would not say stuff like that. i find such "research" highly questionable. it makes people think it is not a big deal and so they can do more damage to their bodies. when cc can be such a problem i find it really hard to believe any amount of gluten is ok let alone a substantial ppm of gluten. i think the labeling needs to say how much ppm of...

    i kind of relate. it was important to me to have communion but since my diagnosis. i knew it was too risky. i miss it at times and all that it signifies but i cannot hurt my body like that. i do not think that is what God wants me to do. it depends on the church i go to. the one has it where i have to buy and bring gluten-free communion wafers with me. the...
