    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.

    Just one more thing to look at...some laundry soaps may contain gluten. I know Whisk is one of them. Stress can also bring out DH. Maybe the stress of the holidays brought yours out? I hope it goes away for you. It's miserable!

    After going gluten-free I started reacting to a LOT of other foods. I was given the hydrogen breath test at Mayo Clinic and had high readings in both hydrogen and methane. I was told I likely had a severe case of SIBO. I was given a couple of anti-biotics and didn't see any changes in my health, food sensitivities, or toilet habits. I was told antibiotics...

    I had salicylate sensitivity for a while, but it seems to be getting better. It turns out I had gastritis, and the sals made my stomach sting. I don't know if you can get symptoms from smelling sals, but I know I get a reaction from smelling gluten foods when my family cooks them.

    Also, I had to go free from all grains, dairy, and refined sugar. Basically, I eat a Paleo diet..minus the peppers for now. I feel better, but I'm still healing. I hope with time to get back some of the foods I've had to cut. I wanted to also mention, that if you are concerned about a yeast overgrowth, you should be taking a good probiotic every day...

    It sounds like you're having a real rough time getting things sorted? I went through a lot of the same things you are now going through. We are all different, but I can tell you what has helped me, and you can see if this applies to you as well? 1. I found I was reacting to soy-even very small amounts, like what's in supplements, by having nausea. Sometimes...

    Whole foods are those that aren't processed. Many processed foods have corn syrup added. Corn is usually GMO, and can cause problems for many of us. I stay away from anything that has a possibilty of having GMOs. Gmo foods include: corn, soy, canola, cottonseed, sugar beets, papaya, zuchinni/yellow squash. These foods do not have to be labeled if they...

    The hormone(CCK) that tells the gallbladder to squeeze bile and the pancreas to release digestive enzymes comes from the villi in the small intestine. If the villi are damaged, he may not be making the hormone..or the signal may not be sent? Without the CCK signal the body has a hard time digesting all foods, but especially fats. This should improve as...

    A lot of us find we have other sensitivities after clearing gluten from our systems. I suggest getting a little notebook and writing down everything you eat. Note any symptoms you experience. Many food sensitivities have delayed symptoms and keeping the log makes it easier to put the pieces of the puzzle together. I also advise taking probiotics, and...

    I make a recipe that we call Caveman Stew. It's pretty simple to make and my 2 gluten eaters really like it too. Caveman Stew 2 chicken breasts-bone in 3 bay leaves 1 32oz carton Meijer Naturals chicken stock (has no MSG or GMOs) 1 large onion chopped 3 stalks celery, sliced 3 cloves garlic put through garlic press, or finely chopped-fresh please...

    I've fried the rice wraps and can say..don't overfill them...and be sure to give them a light squeeze before dropping into the oil so they stay together. Some people use two, but I found one worked well if I didn't overstuff them. There's a good video on how to work with them on youtube. Open Original Shared Link We had a thread going about them a while...
