About Me

Ben (Caucasian male 58 y/o - 175cm/69" - 62kg/136lbs)

Diagnosed Celiac 12-Apr-2012

Dairy intolerant, B12 Mal-absorption, Bile-acid Mal-absorption.

Osteopania.

Lifetime of misdiagnoses. :(

Looks like my eczema is DH

2008-2011 Lived in Northeast of Thailand, almost symptom free. :)

2011 Got rid of Blastocytis Hominis Parasites without medication.

Only 4 months of dieting (no starch/legumes/sugar/dairy/alcohol).

Lost 12kg/26.5lbs in the process.

Now only eat Thai food.

Easy to cook - easy gluten/dairy free - delicious

    Isn't that fraudulent, withholding information when applying for an insurance?

    On this forum it looks like there are many people self-diagnosed and that they are very active.

    clearly the keyword is "body" and "my body doesn't know" has not the same meaning as "I don't know" And it is about knowing the difference between "by accident or on purpose"

    Not only for me, for most. Just in human nature that life is easier without doubts. And there is a lot of positive power from doctors, employers, friends, family-members taking your celiac to be a fact. If a gluten challenge becomes life threatening or really unbearable, of course a person needs to contact his/her doctor and discuss how to go further...

    So far none of the picture posters have been diagnosed DH, right? It's a "probable DH photo bank" then... How can you be 100% sure it is DH and use it as an example for other people? There is still a (although maybe slight) chance it is something else

    Please don't listen to people encouraging you not to go for an official diagnosis. For one, when officially diagnosed, it is so much easier to follow a lifetime diet and to convince the people around you about it. Secondly, being diagnosed, you will get the necessary follow up tests for the possible effects of mal-absorption. Thirdly, you might have...

    This was the initial issue of this thread. There is 100% consensus that it is not wise to knowingly gluten yourself. As my body doesn't know if I'm glutened on purpose or by accident, I tried to extend the issue to when one is occasionally glutened accidentally. My interpretation of the reactions in this thread is that: doctors are ignorant, death...

    I've seen this document and although it is coming from a very reliable source, there is no scientific reference to their statement that it "can" damage the intestine. Has nobody found any study yet about the effects of occasional glutening?
  12. benXX
    This is a completely different issue to "what really happens on an occasional glutening" Please don't get emotional about it. It is a valid question. I'm just curious what happens in case I get accidentally glutened.
  13. benXX
    IMHO the big problem is that it is hard to find scientific data on the net for what happens when one is occasionally glutened. Why we feel so ill from a small dose of gluten, while before we didn't feel that ill when consuming gluten regularly. Is feeling ill from being glutened a measure for the damage done? It took years for most celiacs to get diagnosed...

    If you are really dairy intolerant (milk proteins), it is not that strange to have problems with beef-proteins as well. I have that too and so have many others. Just google "meat and dairy intolerance" and you'll see you are not alone in this.

    A looks a bit like seborrheic dermatitis, something that gets worse when warm and humid. I've had that for over 40 years on my chest and back, but disappeared when I went gluten-free. Had to use Ketoconazol-creme daily all those years to keep it under control. When it is hot and humid, I put on baby powder to prevent it from becoming worse. Really helps...

    The pro-biotics sold are only a tiny part of the gut-flora you need. Most good gut-bacteria come from raw food (vegetables and fruit).

    Any tips on which enzymes to take?

    The OP joined the day she posted this and has never logged in since. Little chance we will get answers to any or our questions.
