    My parents live there and there is a pizza place with gluten free yummy pizza. It is in Easton. Type in gluten free pizza restaurant in Easton Pa. I know I saw it on line. Can't remember name. The pizza is great. They have a whole gluten free menu and a shelf with gluten free treats, and also gluten free cheesecake.

    I eat there a lot and have never had an issue. The gluten free lettuce wraps are the best food ever. I also had their gluten free chocolate truffle last time. Oh my god, can you spell heaven??

    I would really look into threelac. It was developed in Japan and has been used there for 10 years. It does not require the strict diet. I did that diet last year and wasted away down to 116 lbs at 5'9". I stopped getting my periods and basically felt like crap. I am going to be starting threelac soon. You just need to not eat refined sugars and carbs...

    I have it, and am going to be trying a product called threelac. I am working on some other health issues as well right now so one thing at a time. Try avoiding sugars, vinegars (except apple cider) refined grains, cheese, milk, and a lot of starches. You can read a lot about candida overgrowth on the web. Supposedly celiac can cause candida overgrowth...

    Acid reflux medecines can make you worse. The majority of people who are told they have acid reflux often have too little acid. Try a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar before meals. If this helps you have too little acid. If it worsens that you have too much acid.

    There are a lot of false negatives on those tests. You could have a stool test done by Enterolabs. Or, you could just go gluten free and see how you are. Good luck.

    Interesting, I find that sorghum makes me feel like crap!

    He should do an endoscopy to check for villi damage. Be warned, this could come back negative, but that does not mean you don't have celiac. I would try the gluten free diet anyway (after the endoscopy) since you have abnormal tests. That is all you need.

    To both your questions - yes and yes. A couple weeks on the diet is not enough time to see change. It took me several months.

    Just a thought. Since going gluten free I can't seem to tolerate alcohol anymore and others have said this as well. I wonder if the same can happen for THC?

    Lister, Std's such as herpes can lay dormant for years. It would not mean your girlfriend cheated. The fact that you are not well and possibly your immune system is great right now could bring about a dormant condition that your body used to fight off. Hi back again. A rash could also be yeast or candida. I have been talking to you on your other thread...

    Do you have insurance? If so your doctor can order the test. Then you pick it up and do it at home. There is a paper that you fill out and send to your insurance to get reimbursed. If money is a problem, and I can relate, then I would just go with the tests you have done on your own and try some natural ways to eliminate candida. I am going to use Threelac...

    I hear you. You should buy and make Manna from Anna bread. It is on the web. It is crusty chewy and yummy like a real loaf!!

    Try raw cheeses (better for you anyway) or goat and sheep cheese. There is a wonderful water buffalo yogurt that you can get at Whole foods.

    Make sure your vitamins are gluten free as well as all toiletry products (soaps, shampoos, toothpastes etc.) A lot of people seem to have problems with some of the processed gluten free products. You may want to stick to whole foods - meat, veggies, fruits, potatoes, rice etc. Skip the processed sugary stuff.

    Yes, make sure he has his thyroid peroxidase antibodies checked. TSH is farely innacurate in a lot of people. This test would signal Hashimotos hypothyroid. I would also get his adrenal function and DHEA levels checked.

    This happens to me at least once a week. It sucks. I don't know why and its not gluten.

    I just read that the Mayo clinic has been doing studies that show that 90% of sinus infections are actually fungal in nature. That means that antibiotics won't work. In fact they will increase fungus. I would look into candida overgrowth and other forms of fungal crap that could be in there.

    I have been getting that for the past few weeks on and off and never with the same foods. Sometimes it happens when I haven't eaten. Mine itch! They are on the middle to back of my tongue.

    I have Hashimotos. The way we found out was through the thyroid peroxidase antibodies - they were 799 and should be below 20. My TSH was normal. Make sure you get the whole panel. The TSH alone only catches about 45% of thryoid cases. If you are low side or high side of normal I would definitely pursue this. Check out Dr.Lowe.com. They have lots of...

    Candida is not going to show up on a bacteria test. Check into Great Smokies labs about stool tests. I would assume you have it based on what you have already done. It can difficult to get accurate candida tests. Look into diet modification for candida and supplements to help. There are many out there. I am currently about to use Threelac. Dealing with...

    I am not saying that reflux doesn't exist, just overdiagnosed. If the apple cider makes it worse than that shows it is definitely not too little acid. Sorry to offend anyone.
  23. loraleena
    Lister, I would get the bumps checked out. You want to rule out stds. Also check into candida overgrowth - this could cause all your symptoms including rashes!
  24. loraleena
    I use enzymes and they help me digest in general - less bloating and gas. Not gluten though. You do sound at least gluten intolerant. If you feel terrible on gluten, then that is all you need to know.
  25. loraleena
    You can need months to feel better on gluten free diet depending how much damage is done. I would suggest a stool test from enterolabs. Blood tests are very unreliable. You could just try the diet for a while. You do not have to eat gluten for the stool tests, so stay off it. Good luck
