    How about setting the cup in the "hat" or basin?

    Enzymes have been helpful for me. They were recommended by an MD, 2 chiropractors, Functional Medicine nurse and Naturopathic physician over the last few years. The doctors can do a stool test to see if they are needed or not. I recently stopped taking them for a while and saw some pieces of food coming through in the stool. Before enzyme use I use to...

    I am into natural medicine and my first wonder is maybe your body doesn't tolerate calcium? I would make sure that it is really doing you good and not harm. I just found out by using NAET that my body was allergic to calcium. I am trying to get desensitized. All of your list of symptoms in my family history. Mom is on a lot of calcium, but her bones...

    I would stick to eating as simple foods as possible, (that you are sure you don't react to) and get help if and when you can. My favorite food for problem days is chicken broth. Dee

    I hope it will pass soon. I have system reactions (allergies) to things and understand how putting something on a little cut can have some profound effects. I tread carefully using as little processed items as possible. You can usually call a company and ask specifics about the ingredients. I feel sorry that it is necessary, but it is better than suffering...

    I discovered recently that I react to harvest dust in the air. I wonder if allergies to something like that could cause eye trouble. I see you are on to that trail with the nettles and birch idea. I live near a grain silo (within 10 miles) and the unseen dust evidently gives me some of my old celiac symptoms. Over recent summers it has seemed so mysterious...

    Great, keep up the good work! Dee

    Well, then it sounds like the response to diet test is positive. What are you going to do now? Dee

    You are relatively new to the gluten free diet.Have you tried other vitamins and or a regular gluten free diet? I am not sure what is in a clear liquid diet. My game plan includes trying to keep as high of variety of things to eat as possible. I go for high quality natural flavored vitamins. I am currently using Ultra-Nutrients which I get from Dr. Osborne...

    I had trouble with some nausea this summer. I believe mine has to do with allergies. What are you riding by when having trouble? For me it is corn and grains. Dee
  11. 1desperateladysaved
    Yeah, I recall when I started I had less bloating, however, I still had some, but very little evidence that many outward symptoms were changing.. Upon nutrient status tests, my levels had gone up. Then I discovered that my gut had healed and that my enzyme level was good even if I didn't take it for four days. It seemed to make no difference when I decided...

    I got splotchy when I stuck my hands into a public sink and accidently used their soap. I thought it was the soap, but chlorinated water could be the culprit. Anyway, don't you have chlorinated water at home? I don't.

    I react to flour in the air and have celiac. But also recently found out that I also have super-sensitive allergies. My reactions got more defined as I stayed away from eating gluten flours. You may want to keep allergies on your list of things to check into. Dee

    I am going down weight loss mountain the past few months. Things are (as usual) too complicated for me to really know why. My own guess ( just now) is that I finally got the last big allergen out of my diet. . I had previously avoided all sweets except for tiny amounts of honey. Honey was something I had not considered for possible allergies, and finally...

    My Height is 5'7" and while at the peak of my illness, my scale screamed 190 lbs! I then lost 30 lbs after beginning an aggressive supplement program. After going gluten free, my weight stabilized at 159 and stayed there a couple of years. Recently, I cut all foods I knew I didn't tolerate. Finally, I eliminated the last sweetener (honey) that I had...

    Did you check the label on the ice cream? It seems to me a regular gluten crust would not be palatable in ice cream. Instead of crispy it would be soggy. I think you just had everyone holding their breath! Possibly it didn't actually have gluten, or somehow you didn't ingest any. I hope you will be able to go to work and the boss will never need to know...

    Open Original Shared Link This posts ideas of what else Marsh phase 1 could be. Did they check through the list. To summarize what remember from the list: Parasites, (I will come back)

    I didn't tolerate 49 of 60 things I was tested for. I don't have the same list, but can understand the over-whelmed feeling. When I did cut out the offensive foods, I felt much better, so then it seemed more worth while. In the beginning I simply kept going to the store and finding foods I had never tried before. I found some favorites and have never...

    I use Genuine N Zimes Dr. Howell's Original Formula Extra-Strength. I get these through Azure Standard. I like this particular brand since it is effective, is powder with no capsule. I checked and it had no corn which I needed. It contains 3 enzymes and cellulose. It is commonly recommended especially for newly diagnosed celiac sufferers. I had a...

    I have children that live at home and understand what hospital food would do to me. Get a friend or your children (if they can do it) to bring food for you.

    I guess many know, but I better be up front to say that I am having allergies most likely from long-term celiac symptoms not diagnosed. At any rate I have healed my villi and had figured that I could stop taking my enzymes. I noticed the following symptoms: More easily irritated. Overwhelmed Increasing Fatigue , Weight loss 10 lbs in a few months...

    I did taper off gluten over a few days, longer if one counts the flavoring that I didn't read the label on. My first tier was major food groups. I didn't eat bread, or use any gluten flours in my cooking. I got my kids to take certain large quantities of grains out of the kitchen. There was a box of gluten in the pantry for a much longer time, but it...

    Thanks for that information as I sometimes use Aura Cacia and prefer to switch knowing that. That aside I use several Aura Cacia oils in a diffuser and have not reacted to them except ones that I now know I am allergic to that oil. (Peppermint namely). What particular oil did you have a problem with? Are you having any allergies to almonds or nuts? My...

    I hope you will be carried through this hard time. Dee

    Welcome AnnK, It can be overwhelming at first, but the payoff is good! Hang in there, learn (as you are trying to do) and walk and you will get somewhere. Most of us spent some time crying in the grocery store. There are many foods that are naturally gluten free such as fruits, vegetables, and meats. Best wishes in healing. Dee
