    I have problems with sugar at the moment but as I continue with a gluten free diet it seems that I handle it better. I can't rule out the possibility of bacterial overgrowth though. Do you have any ideas on natural ways to treat it? For the moment I use ginger tea, raw garlic, coconut oil and probiotics as well as keeping sugar intake low.

    You could try lactose free dairy products. Butter and hard cheeses are lower in lactose anyway, so you could try using these sparingly. It may help you to invest in some digestive enzymes or a bottle of lactase. Probiotics are a good idea too. I have trouble with sugars at the moment and do have trouble with milk products although a few scoops of greek...

    Hi, she was unclear about how much or little I should ingest. That was a bit of a warning sign. She also said: 'I want you to eat as normal'. It was the end of the year when I finally added up that it was wheat that was causing symptoms. In the new year- speaking as someone new to being gluten free- I think I did pretty well, even reintroduced dairy and enjoyed...

    Yes, amen mushroom! Just looking at yours and Toms diagnosis list and I cannot fathom the depths of all the trouble you've faced over decades?! You didn't have the benefits of a gluten free section, or the labelling so you know exactly what to get and what to avoid. Some of the docs are looking in the wrong places.

    That sums it up ever so nicely Tom. I think the trouble when dealing with people is not feeling what they're going through. I'm just making the assumption she (the doc) has no clue what it feels like day after day, but you seem to. Perhaps some people need to suffer so we have compassion for one another. If (health)care is based upon suffering it must...

    You're right, what are the docs going to do even if the test comes out negative? If what you said is right, then I'll just make myself much sicker, and end up with negative test results anyway. It isn't worth it. Thanks!

    Exactly, it seems like an insane request doesn't it. I'm not 100% but too big a coincidence that I went seriously downhill on a high gluten week, right?

    About two weeks ago I decided that just maybe wheat wasn't that much of a problem and bought some big sausages from the market. Roll onto today and I'm back to the point where I actually feel hungry and able to eat again. I went to visit the gastroenterologist today and what she wants me to do is to eat gluten for the next two weeks everyday without being...
