ARCHIVED Lymphocytic Colitis...not Celiac?
mle-ii replied to Chelle15's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Yep, I have been diagnosed with Lymphycytic Colitis as well. Did they give you an official diagnosis? As far as mainly diarrhea, yes, but I too suffer with with constipation at times as well. My constipation is very similar to the symptoms of Proctitis. In the past I had lots of problems with diarrhea as well, but after stumbling upon finding Atkins... -
My feeling is that an IgA deficiency should always go along with Ttg. Given my recent research I understand the use of Ttg as the main testing. Though along with false negatives this would also have false positives as well.

Agreed, especially the root vegetables. Hell, I've recently picked up a book on Native American uses of vegetation in the Pacfic Nortwest, the defintly used root vegetables.

If by Peppers you mean Bell Peppers I'm guessing the problem might be either: 1) that they are nightshades (like the potato) and folks have problems with those due them containing toxins 2) They were native to Central and South America pre-Columbian times. Meaning they weren't a normal part of the european diet where I'm guessing Cordain gets most of...

My guess is that most folks don't think they have it and don't get tested because they don't fit the "classic symptoms" for Celiac. So what reasons are family memebers giving for not getting tested? I returned my book to the library, but Dr Greene's book on Celiac disease had a good check list to provide family memembers, it had the classic and non...

ARCHIVED Questions About Lab Tests...
mle-ii replied to mle-ii's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Oh man, the last time I had cheese I was miserable. I even went for an Aged Cheddar that supposedly wouldn't contain any lactose. I suppose it could have been some other ingredient in the cheese as I suspect the Anneto (sp) coloring, but I've had Milk Protein Isolate (basically all that's left is whey and casein) and didn't see any problems there. Lactaid... -

Thanks, I'll have a bit less anxiety about it all now. I'm curious, what were the results of the lactose test? -
ARCHIVED Questions About Lab Tests...
mle-ii posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I saw a GI Dr today and I'm curious about some lab tests I'm getting done. One is for Lactose Intollerance and it's a blood test. What does this entail and how does it work in comparison to the breath test? How do they test for Bacterial Overgrowth? Has anyone done an upper GI x-ray where you drink barium? What was this like? Finally... -
ARCHIVED I'm Back -- Osteopenia Is Reason Enough!
mle-ii replied to moonunit's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
From what I've read a sublingual (under the tongue) B12 would work fine as well. The Methyl version is the best absorbed. Here's what I take every once in a while: Open Original Shared Link Though don't take it too late in the day as I've found it can interfere with sleeping sometimes. Mike -
ARCHIVED My Elisa Food Test For Igg Antibodies Is Back
mle-ii replied to mle-ii's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi Sara, I sure hope that they don't make mistakes in writting up lab results. Makes me wonder about the rest of the results and how accurate they are. I suppose I should contact the company to see what they say. Thanks, Mike -
ARCHIVED Genetic Origins Of Celiac
mle-ii replied to gfp's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Rather interesting stuff. What I also found interesting that I learned about recently is that Irish Setters (the dog) are known to have Celiac. Supposedly this is what nearly brought them to extinction. The addition of wheat as a filler in dog food nearly brought them in. I have no idea how this could possibly be related at all, but I did find... -
ARCHIVED Ulceratice Colitis Or Not?
mle-ii replied to francelajoie's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Having both Microscopic Colitis (Lymphocytic) and gluten sensitivity (and the gene for celiac) I agree 100% with Dr Fine's connection. -

I didn't see this thread before, but here are my results from US BioTek. Most everything showed no reaction, but let's look at what showed a reaction. Low Reaction - Whey (protein in dairy) and Almond Moderate Reaction - Gliadin (Wheat) and Whole Wheat - Both were closer to High than Low reaction High Reaction - Gluten (Wheat), and Rye And... -

ARCHIVED What Are The Symptons Of Dairy Problems?

ARCHIVED Am I Insane?
mle-ii replied to jnclelland's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Same here. I've thought about trying some glutened food to see what symptoms I get and to see if they match up with what I think the symptoms are for me when I think I accidently ingest it. Haven't had the guts (ha ha) to do it yet. -

ARCHIVED Dq8 - Results?

I only have DQ8 not DQ2. I also have a gluten sensitivity gene. -
Somehow I missed this topic but I ran across some very interesting research with regards to Bromelain. That leads me to believe that in the right quantity it won't cure, but I'm guessing it can help. Here's what I posted elsewhere with regards to this. Here's more: And more:

ARCHIVED Uncomfortable (literally) Question
mle-ii replied to Sweetfudge's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Some of your symptoms sound like Proctitis. An inflamation of the rectum and lower colon.
