  1. Here's hopes for you to have a healthy future. I am so glad you can go gluten free soon. D
  2. I am glad you are feeling better!
  3. I recall my Functional Medicine nurse being happy when I admitted to ignoring the advice my doctor gave me 25 years ago to take calcium supplements. I tried, but they made me sick. She was happy, because she told me the calcium supplements can make celiac symptoms worse I think that may be something for you to consider. My calcium is quite high, now...
  4. I think that with your symptoms, you should be tested for celiac disease. Your symptoms do need to be relieved. Before being diagnosed I had some of the same symptoms. Brain Fog Fatigue not helped by sleep shortness of breath bloating. Now, at 18 months gluten free, I can breath deep, Have a clear mind, and am planning what to do with my energy...
  5. Sorry...I hope you will feel better soon and have some definitive answers. D
  6. My symptoms include seeing food stuffs come through recogniseable and bloating.
  7. Check for leaky gut. Or consider what to do if you have it. Heal it up and then retry foods that bother you. Also have you tried digestive enzymes? If you have a lot of damage to the villi you may not be breaking down your food well. The enzymes help break down your food while the villi heal enough to do their jobs. Their jobs being telling the pancreas...
  8. My nutrient test showed a need for digestive enzymes. This test was Genova nutrient evaluation. A few days after taking the digestive enzymes my bloating seemed to go down and my energy level up. Now, my Functional Medicine Nurse said that I may try going off of them. She assured me that if I needed them, I would know and could go back on. To be honest...
  9. Nice to have someone that cares!
  10. I hope you will find, or have found the support you need. Also that your loved ones will see it better in the future. God has made so many food. I really like the ones that He made for me to eat. Every time one food becomes taboo, another one or two take their place. D
  11. There is hope. There is relief. I hope you will find it soon. D
  12. Have your adrenal function checked. When I went on some adrenal support herbs, it helped a lot with my energy level! Also, maybe consider other food intolerances or more nutritional deficiencies. Get better. D
  13. Aw....I think you are on the right track and should get ALL of the tests for Celiac disease. You need to be fully convinced to stick to your diet. I hope your flower will be sparkling better soon. You have pointed out that you did have a POSITIVE to the response to the response to diet test. I find any slight mistake I make on the diet brings consequences...
  14. My weight has been stable even though it is suspected that I am carrying too much water weight. I am eating about a TBSP of fat per meal. it helps you feel full and keeps you there. Also, it gives me energy. I eat nutrient dense protein. I take in small amounts of fruit. I have been eating nut flower muffins, and coconut milk smoothies. I have vegetables...
  15. I use homemade lye soap. It is an excellent cleaner. Grandpa's makes a good bar which is likely in a store near you. Homemade soap is often available at craft stores. Did I ever tell you about the first time I used homemade soap? It stunk! Then I resoaped and it didn't stink. I realized that I had gotten clean! Mine is made of olive oil, palm...
  16. Dental problems, check.
  17. Are you doing Probiotic. I use Restore Pro-Biotic which I get from Azure Standard. Digestive enzymes: I am using Genuine NZimes Dr. Howells original formula: Extra Strength Multi Vitamin; I am using one called Vita-Nutrients Minimal and Essential: I get from Between the Bridges in Mankato, Mn You need to find out if you have other intolerances...
  18. Here is a paraphrase of what my Functional Medicine Nurse had to say about it. The old tests measure the nutrient levels in the blood serum. The nurse said that the blood is favored for nutrients. It steals nutrients from the cells, until the cells are depleted. The Spectra cell measures nutrients in white blood cells to determine if the cell is well...
  19. Quoted from above link: "Sjögren’s is a chronic autoimmune disease in which people’s white blood cells attack their moisture-producing glands. Today, as many as four million Americans are living with this disease" Hmm on the one hand I might have some more symptoms. Yet, my dentist comments on my saliva pools. It looked like the only treatment is f...
  20. Nobody mentioned severe depression as a possibility. I recently read if you are severely depressed you are sad, but do not cry. However, I am functioning fairly normally even though I am passing through some tough times.
  21. They do a little. They mostly burn.
  22. I am just thinking about my Mom. I got at least 2 genes from Mom's side. She is going down hill. I think she has celiac, and did all I could to get her diagnosed, but It didn't work out. Dad said they couldn't follow the diet anyway. Dry eyes could be a similarity to my struggles, but I wouldn't say my eyes are dry yet. They just don't abound when they...
  23. Thanks, I do feel like I am getting to the roots. Thanks for helping confirm that. D
  24. Oh, that reminds me that Mom was treated for dry eyes for years. Thanks, I will check it out. D
  25. Any ideas what treatment is available? I wouldn't test something, unless I can do something about it. I don't use drugs unless in dire straights. I just would like to know if it would change my care depending on whether I have it or not.
