    I would want to know if the people he cured we're dx'ed by blood work/endoscopy and if the remission was confirmed the same way and if he's monitoring them. And by cured, do they mean they now eat a gluten filled diet? It used to be thought that Celiac was a childhood disease that could be cured, or that they outgrew it after being on a gluten-free...

    I have no idea. This was mentioned in a book I read today. I think there is a follow-up study mentioned. I'll have to find it and see.

    Well, I read a book today... It talks about how autoimmune diseases have commonalities tracing back to pancreatic enzyme deficiencies which causes a cascade of problems - vitamin and mineral deficiencies among them. I read something about restless legs and sleep disturbances - bottom line is your B vitamins. The overall suggestion of the book is to...

    Yeah, Betsy on that one. As I'm finding out, later.....

    If you can't get anyone to biopsy it, you may try a low iodone diet for a while to see if it helps to snuff it out. Google "thyca". You didn't happen to add any high iodine foods or supplaments to your diet, did you? That's what got me - a multi with iodine. Ouch. Iga antibodies can stay in your skin for years - that's what causes a DH flare (activation...

    Well, I'm curious. What would this Chiro do to cure someone? Btw, no I don't think a cure is possible with what is currently known and available. If he really had a cure I think he'd be rather famous, don't you?

    Hey there - I'm looking for recommendations on books or reading material about dealing with healing Autoimmune disease. Most books I find about thyroid tend to isolate the condition and mention things that "help" like gluten-free but I'd like to find one that deals with "Autoimmune" and those two as parts of the autoimmune condition. I assume most Celiac...

    You can make your own waffles and freeze them. I keep a fresh fruit and chop a bit for breakfast. I also don't add milk to the cereal, I pour it in a glass and let him add it when he sits down. That helps reduce sogginess. You may try making muffins and freezing them - I like nut flour and coconut flour baked goods to boost fiber and protein. ...

    Well, banana reactions are associated with latex allergy... Have you considered salicylate intolerance? It's cumulative which may make it hard to figure out. Open Original Shared Link Lectin intolerance is another one you hear about Open Original Shared Link

    I have weird blood sugar issues which are still not confirmed or diagnosed. I get hypoglycemic after eating sugary stuff a few weeks (or a big binge for a few days). I can eat a slice of cake - just once per week; 3 slices for 3 days sends me hyper which flips quickly to hypo - and it takes weeks of a careful diet to snap out of it. Funny thing, though...

    I used the spray liquid crystal and loved it - the hard crystal irritated my skin (friction, I guess). I stopped using it because it burned my DH. I used one of the Tom's varieties for a while but it wasn't effective enough (live in the desert, plus DH under my arms contributed to some nasty bo). I use Dove sensitive/unscented now and it works great...

    Antihistimines are immune suppressants. I started using Claritin Childrens Chewables in January when I was getting allergy symptoms and it was a miracle drug - antihistimines hadn't ever worked for me before. I guess going gluten-free helped clear the way. Anyway, told my ND and she replied with the above - since i was apparently in an autoimmune flare, I...

    I had an alarmingly high crp a few months ago - first time it was tested. My Hashis antibodies were up and my tsh was off the chart. Very weird. I've been on thyroid meds for years and I've never been that high. It did correspond with me feeling like crap, though. Wish I knew what caused it.

    A thick remedy for super dry spots is a homemade concoction of pure Shea butter and olive oil. Just mix olive oil in to achieve the consistency you desire. It's a great moisturizer.

    I think we've all been told its scabies, at least once. Heck, I thought it was scabies, once.

    It means typical presentation is symmetrical. It would mean a rash would show up on both hands (not necessarily specific fingers). You must remember not all rashes meet textbook definitions. I have a weird rash on my right pinkie that spontaneously disappeared overnight after bothering me for almost 2 months. Last night it went "poof". My DH under...

    Goodness, I would have lost my mind by now with all of those adjustments. My advice: find a crutch and lean on it. Whether its a food or drink or new hobby. It helps a bunch.
  20. pricklypear1971
    Well, it's possible you've developed another food intolerance which is causing you issues. Try a food diary, keeping specific track of the major allergens. Another thing to consider is your body is making post-partum adjustments. Hormones can shake your body up on all levels, so I wouldn't be surprised if they are causing you grief at this time. Additionally...

    Beans don't have to be prepared with spicy seasonings. Cuban black beans are notoriously bland. As with all thing cooking, adapt. Just browse popular recipe sites for bean recipes. If beans in general bother your reflux that's another story... You can take most any legume or veggie and turn it into a soup or pancake, btw. I like to take leftover veggies...

    Try bean stews, soups. For me, they are the perfect mix of proteins and slow carbs. I ate the Moosewood Cuban Black Beans for a long time when I was hypo (induced by a hyper session of sugar binging) and I swear it was the perfect food - leveled me out every time. Open Original Shared Link Try recipes for red beans and rice, etc., too. Lots of veggies...

    Well, I won't lecture you but will confirm what you already said - you need to take care of yourself and that means eating. Have you considered a personal chef??? Also, did you screen those bcp's for gluten?? I know how painful endo can be. I was lucky - mine was "cured" by pregnancy (although the trade off seems to be Hashimotos and Celiac???)...

    Well, I haven't tested gluten-free flours like this...but for wheat flours I'd just taste a bit of raw flour - if it tastes bad (sour, bitter) it's rancid. I honestly have NO idea what all the gluten-free flours should taste like - I'd use the same guideline. To me, most rice blends taste like "nothing", so I'd be suspicious a mix had a strong taste....

    I know this comes at the end...but try Vanicream lotion. Works great on my DH, same for many others. You don't need an rx.
