Hey everyone, after my last post my eyes have been bothering me so much that I don't come online very much. My original symptoms have changed. It first started off with dry eyes, especially after reading a book. Sometimes it cause a headache. My eyes would also turn read. Now, whenever my eyes look at the computer screen, I get a weird headache and it...

Thanks. That is encouraging. Helped brighten up my day actually.

It's pretty depressing having to deal with all this at the age of 26. Not knowing exactly what is safe to eat and what foods can cause a reaction. Obviously I can never eat gluten, which is fine with me, its not knowing what other foods will cross react or do damage or not knowing what other AI disease will develop in the future that stresses me out. If I...

I was wondering this same about myself. Last time I consumed some casein, I got small red itchy bumps on my arm for about an hour and then they went away. Does this kind of reaction mean I should stay away from casein forever or is it such a minor reaction that I shouldn't worry about it? In other words, is it doing some kind of damage to my body?

Thanks so much. You guys have helped calm me for now. I have lost hope in ever getting real help from the regular doctor, I basically just use them to request blood work and work leave orders now. When I first had digestive problems they recommended I eat more whole grains! I was naive at the time and trusted their advise.

Thanks for the responses. I am hoping this is all some kind of deficiency that can be corrected. The facial numbness, although mild, has had me worried. I have not been testing for B12 deficiency. I am going to request that to my doctor as soon as possible. I was tested for Vitamin D and my number was 46....Just from reading, a lot of people recommend...

Hey everyone, I'm pretty nervous right now. Back in April I found out that gluten was behind most of my health problems ( Leaky gut/IBS, Joint pain, and even mild carpal Tunnel syndrome), and since then I eliminated gluten and dairy and have had great improvements in my digestion and have no more joint pain. Since the last time I ate a ton of gluten (when...

Does anyone know if their are any kid of anti inflammatory drugs that are safe for someone who is gluten sensitive and has leaky gut issues? I have inflammation in my hands and a strained back, but I heard these drugs will undo my progress I have made in healing my gut after being glutened weeks ago.

Since I discovered I have an issue with gluten, I'm doing my best to figure out what is else is safe for me to eat. I do not know if I was born with a gluten sensitivity or if it was "caused" by my awful diet. After reading about the leaky gut theory, it seems that it could be that my excessive amount of milk consumption and high sugar diet led to ...

Hey thanks everyone for the responses. It really helped in keeping me calm in one of the worst times of my life. I struggled for months not knowing what was wrong with me. Because of the kind of work I do, I am trying to see a chiropractor just to make sure things are in order. I never thought gluten would cause such a wide range of symptoms, from my stomach...

Yes, all of my supplements are gluten free. I barely cut eggs from my diet about a week into being gluten free after noticing I'd have lower back pain the next morning every time I ate some eggs.

I bought his DVD and sort of feel ripped off. It had okay information but I was completely turned off by how many times he pushes for people to buy the products on his website.Although I think the supplements he recommends helped me...Long before I heard of him I had been taking omega 3 fish oil, L glutamine and probiotics. Not his brand obviously. I was...

Alright thank you for the all the responses. I been staying out of the fitness section because it depresses me to read about fitness and nutrition when I feel like I can't even move very well. haha. A masseuse would be nice right about now.

I have the same problem. What about whey protein? Is it as common to have a reaction to whey as casein?

Thanks. Six months is a long time. I have a job and only so much sick time left ! But I guess I have no choice but to deal with it. I have an appointment next week with the doctor. Right now I am supplementing with multivitamins and other supplements. I pretty much eat as healthy as I possibly can...Organic foods, totally gluten free.
