    Here are a couple quotes from the paleodiet website: Since hunter-gatherers lived a "nasty, short, and brutal life," how can we know if their diets were healthful or not? Don't their short life spans suggest a poor diet? It is certainly true that hunter-gatherers studied during modern times did not have as great an average lifespan as those values...

    The blood type diet was created after Dr. Peter D'Adamo researched past medical records and found that people with the same blood types often had the same physical problems. The diet is based on providing the necessary nutrients to people according to their blood type. If I remember correctly (I used to have this book - until someone stole it! ) -umm...

    This is a really big issue for me. My boyfriend was in a car accident 14 years ago and was paralyzed from the chest down. He also has limited use of his hands. Before his accident, he was a serious athlete - competing in mogul skiing, biked 25 miles/day, basketball, swimming, etc. He went from being one of the most active people out there to someone who...

    ARCHIVED Q For Michelle

    Emme999 replied to a topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    Celiac sprue comes from the Greek word "koilia" meaning "belly" and the Dutch word "sprouw" meaning "a kind of tumor." Put the words together and you have "a kind of tumor (in the) belly." (from: www.medfriendly.com/celiacsprue.html ) - Michelle

    Turtle, Hello I just posted this on another thread, it's about calcium: (This is going to be long!) Here's some info on osteoporosis from "Dangerous Grains" (by James Braly & Ron Hoggan): "A related paradox of osteoporosis and celiac disease is that calcium supplementation does not help to remineralize celiac patients' bones as...

    (This is going to be long!) Here's some info on osteoporosis from "Dangerous Grains" (by James Braly & Ron Hoggan): "A related paradox of osteoporosis and celiac disease is that calcium supplementation does not help to remineralize celiac patients' bones as much as magnesium supplementation. There is comparatively much less magnesium in our...

    Turtle, The bone density test (Dexascan) is probably a good idea. The only problem is that is is really expensive ($250) and your insurance might not cover it. If it *will* cover it - definitely do it and find out what is going on with your bones. The good news is that I've read reports saying that after 1 year on a gluten-free diet, bone density...

    Here is some interesting information I just discovered as I was researching the Paleolithic Diet. This is from a discussion between Robert Crayhon (one of the best nutritionists in the whole freakin' world - IMHO ) and Loren Cordain (expert on Paleolithic nutrition): Robert Crayhon: I know you're doing some groundbreaking work right now looking at...

    Peanut Butter is so good for you :) I just wanted to pass on a little info about it. I once went to a lecture by a woman who had written a fabulous health/dietary book (so fab that I can't actually remember what the book was Sorry!) - anyway, she talked about peanut butter for a little while and suggested only buying Arrowhead Mills Valencia P...

    Do you mean to tell me this bag of gluten-free cookies isn't providing all of my essential vitamins??

    I just want you guys to know that you are *awesome* !!! I don't have any children - but I have a mom And when she did something special for me for my birthday (even though it was my 32nd birthday!) it meant the world to me It was *before* I was diagnosed with Celiac - but had just learned that I am severely allergic to eggs & dairy. She...

    Three weeks ago I just have an insatiable curiosity. I can never learn enough about something - especially if it deals with *me* ! I've always been interested in health issues (managed a health food / vitamin store for almost 2 years) and I read a lot. It annoys the hell out of my boyfriend He's always talking about my OCD Oh...

    I've only been gluten-free for a little over a week and my symptoms got worse too for a little while, but after the first week things calmed down a lot. I'm not saying that I feel exceptional, but better. Doesn't it take a while to feel better because your intestinal tract needs time to heal so that you can start absorbing nutrients? My doctor...

    Mariann, I'm definitely not saying that you can't have it if you don't come from a certain place! That would be ridiculous I'm just very intrigued by the high numbers of specific cultures showing up here. No offense! - Michelle

    ARCHIVED Yikes!

    Emme999 posted a topic in Doctors

    The following information is from the website Open Original Shared Link - It's a survey of 200 pediatricians, family practitioners, and endocrinologists revealing the lack of understanding about celiac disease (celiac disease) in children. I'm afraid you guys wont be too surprised by these findings: - Regarding the diagnosis of celiac disease...

    Oops, wanted to add this (from the same site): The estimates based on seroepidemiologic studies suggest that, for each diagnosed case of celiac disease, there may be 3
