I'm going on a 100-mile bike ride this weekend. The last time I did this, a friend handed me a recovery drink concoction and "forced" me to drink it... it really helped and I didn't feel sore at all the next day. I don't remember the brand... I am now on a gluten-free and dairy-free diet and am wondering if there are any gluten-free/DF recovery drinks...

I know, I know. I really, really thought this woman had lost her marbles when she led me through this little tapping/singing/counting exercise. But it worked on my problem when nothing else did. I learned how to do it myself and have been able to mitigate some other extreme emotional responses that I've had. The testimonials are pretty amazing on the...

If you both are willing to try anything, you should take a look at Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) -- see Open Original Shared Link which provides a ton of free information and instructions on how to do it. I saw a therapist who used this technique on me. This is a woman who I respect 100% and who has helped me tremendously with other issues using other...

What kind of thyroid tests did the doctors do? What were your results? I see a thyroid expert (nationally known, written a prominent book, etc.) and he says I probably have hashimoto's disease based on how my thyroid feels and also a sonogram. He can't say definitively without doing a biopsy. I've been taking thyroid medication for 4 years. The last...

My diet has been the same, except for no wheat or dairy. I haven't added anything new or exotic. I have lost 3 pounds though! When I took the enterolab test, I was drinking lattes, eating ice cream, cheese dip, etc. So my results were reflective of me eating quite a bit of dairy. I don't really feel differently, except for the "free-flowing"...

My husband was diagnosed with celiac disease about a year ago. I went gluten free for 2 months and didn't notice any difference in how I felt. I went ahead with the Enterolab testing and the results indicated I have 2 gluten intolerant genes and that I am having immune reactions to both gluten and dairy. The stool testing results were: Gluten sensitivity...

We went to Disneyworld about a month ago and had no problem at all with the Disney restaurants. At every single Disney restaurant we went to they brought the chef out who told my husband what he could and could not eat. At one of the restaurants they sent very hot (freshly made) gluten-free rolls to our table along with the meal. (We told every restaurant...

Thanks for these responses! Which leads me to my next question... and I know there's no one answer, but how long before I start feeling better if the gluten and dairy is bothering me? My husband, who is a true celiac, started feeling better pretty quickly. Of course he may have been feeling so bad before that any improvement was registered as feeling...

Hi everyone, I sent off a "sample" to Enterolab and recently got my results back. I had previously done the genetic test and found out I have two gluten sensitive genes. Here are my results: ********************** Gluten sensitivity Stool Panel Complete Fecal Antigliadin IgA 33 (Normal Range <10 Units) Fecal Antitissue Transglutaminase...

Thanks everyone for all the suggestions and thoughts. The interpretation on my Enterolab report said: "Interpretation Of HLA-DQ Testing: Although you do not possess the main genes predisposing to celiac sprue (HLA-DQ2 or HLA-DQ8), HLA gene analysis reveals that you have two copies of a gene that predisposes to gluten sensitivity (DQ1 or DQ3 not subtype...

I got my Enterolab genetic results and, like many people here, am confused. Here they are (drumroll....) ************* Gluten Sensitivity Gene Test HLA-DQB1 Molecular analysis, Allele 1 0301 HLA-DQB1 Molecular analysis, Allele 2 0602 Serologic equivalent: HLA-DQ 3,1 (Subtype 7,6) ************* My husband and I both got genetically tested...

Our son has celiac. We did the cheek swab genetic test with Enterolab and he has the HLA DQ 2 celiac gene and also a gluten sensitive gene. He's been gluten free as best as we can control for a year and he's doing much better with his mood and energy level. My husband and I did the genetic test after finding this out. My husband's side is the one who...

We see very good doctors who we trust who could not figure out what our (now) 6 year old was allergic to that was causing his severe eczema. We took our child to 4 doctors in our city and to one doctor in another city that has several medical hospitals with top doctors in the state. No-one could figure anything out. Then we went to see a PhD nutritionist...

My family will be going on vacation in Boothbay Harbor Maine. Does anyone have experience or information about gluten-free options there? Thanks!

Thanks for all your replies. I should add that he itches all the time anyway... that's been a constant for several years now. We hoped that would go away when he went gluten-free but it didn't. But it was weird that he woke up in the middle of the night with an itching "attack". My husband told me that the humidity is at 25%, so his skin is probably...
