    I'm just back from the Mayo Clinic. They ran some tests and I was shocked to learn that I have fructose malabsorption. I thought maybe I had a yeast overgrowth because eating sugar made me feel bad. It's a rarely tested for companion of Celiac/gluten intolerance. I was told to go on a low fructose diet. I was surprised to see that a lot of veggies...

    Here's one more thing to consider. I ran across this info this morning. Take a look at the free peek of the book and read the intro. It may be one more piece of the puzzle for all of us to consider? Open Original Shared Link#_ I hope the link works..if not go to amazon and check out the book: Earthing: the most important health discovery ever?

    One thing that they stress with GAPS is the introduction phase. You may only do it for a very short time, but they stress that you shouldn't skip it. I never did it, and I think I may have to backtrack and do it? I've been gluten-free, dairy, and soy free for almost 2 years. The GAPS diet uses dairy and eggs which I am intolerant of, so I never tried...

    This diet (GAPS)is basically the SCD (simple carbohydrate ) diet. It's also used for healing the gut. The main thing is to cut out sugar, chemicals, and starches. Use gelatinous bone broth to heal the gut and probiotics to populate with good bacteria. I think the books are helpful in that they give recipes and examples of what your meal would be. I use...

    Ask for a SIBO test. It will check to see if you have a bacterial overgrowth. Sibo can make you react badly to a lot of foods. A HIDA scan might be a good idea too? It will test to see if your gallbladder releases the bile and enzymes you need to digest your food. If you are taking an acid blocker it can stall the release of bile too, which can cause...

    Most of the corn has been genetically modified. It's been released into our food supply without studies being done to show it's safe. Many people are now reacting badly to it. I am one of them. In my case I had bed reactions to corn flour at first, but could tolerate corn starch or sweet (fresh) corn. I then got intolerant of fresh, and have now resctricted...

    I was first DXed in July 2011. I started keeping a food log when going gluten-free didn't stop a lot of my weird symptoms and just kept it up out of habit. It's really helpful in figuring out some of the odd intolerances. Just last week I made split pea soup and found I was very depressed the day after I ate it. Skipped a couple of days and had it for...

    I think a lot of the probiotics are the same? I was told at the Mayo Clinic to take one that contains lactobacilus acudophilos to keep yeast in check. Other than that, I'd say switch brands from time to time to get a balance of various strains. Some contain soy or dairy and I wouldn't recommend those. Probiotic foods include those foods that are fermented...

    Once the villi start to erode you won't be absorbing nutrients. Over time some symptoms should start to show because of that. Also, the hormone (cck) that tells your gallbladder to squeeze and pancreas to release digestive enzymes is made and sent from the small intestine. With damage there that function doesn't work..or doesn't work well. Other digestive...

    https://www.celiac.com/articles/50/1/Main-Causes-of-Flattened-Villi/Page1.html There's an article here on this site's info pages that tells of other causes for villi flattening. There are others too, that you can find if you type causes for villi flattening into the search box here.

    I saw Dr. Murray after I was DXed and very careful about cc, but still had a lot of bad symptoms. I test negative in my blood work, but had total villous atropy. I found him to be pleasant and kind. I was also having neurological issues after getting "glutened" when I got there. He sent me over to the Neurology dept. They did a lot of tests, including...

    Maybe try a Paleo diet for a while? It removes grains, some dairy, refined sugars. There are tons of recipes online and you may be able to get books at the library? Please remember that healing is a slow process. You will have up and down days. Keep a food log and note any symptoms. Once you have done more healing you can add foods back in, one at...

    It sounds like you may have another food intolerance? It's hard to figure some of them out. I hope you keep a food/symptom log? Having SIBO can damage the villi and let proteins from foods leak into your blood stream. Those proteins are seen as invaders and your immune system flares. It may not show up on allergy testing. Mine didn't. There's just...

    I love So Delicious! They don't use any GMO ingredients either.
