    I did not heal for years after I gave up gluten, and finally found out it was SIBO, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. My symptoms that I consider a gluten attack -- a long, drawn-out agonizing event in the bathroom where I feel like my guts are filled with double-edged razor blades -- did stop immediately, but I kept losing weight uncontrollably, until...

    Well, now it's 2016 and I've just had the first gluten attack I've had in quite a while. It's summer, and all I've been eating is zucchini (from our garden) with cheese and onions and homemade pesto on rice and gluten-free pasta, made with walnuts from Costco. The walnut bag says they are processed on equipment shared with wheat. In the past I have...

    Mineral and vitamin deficiencies can definitely cause muscle rigidity. But it's so complicated to figure out what specifically is the cause! Vitamin D, calcium, potassium and magnesium all contribute to that, I think. I mean, the lack of those things. Have you been checked for SIBO (small intestine bacterial overgrowth)? Almost forgot about your...

    I see that this is very old. I kjust wanted to add that I have many problems like this, and they seem to be mostly caused by mineral and vitamin deficiencies. But the whole mineral balance is so incredibly complicated that it can be difficult to pin down. For example, I have read that a magnesium deficiency can cause a potassium deficiency, and you just...

    For me, that is not the case. Anything at all derived from corn seems to be a real problem for me. I have been low level sick (not really low level) for a couple of years now, and it seems to be because of the minute quantities of corn-derived products in foods and in medications, both over the counter and prescription. Sadly, I think you can be...

    Respectfully, I must disagree. I seem to be sensitive to corn in a way that is indeed cross-reactivity. Corn triggers my celiac disease. I had given up wheat for years when i was suddenly having full-fledged gluten reactions -- those hours-long, agonizing attacks that empty your guts? The kind of attacks that lead me to cry real tears. And I didn't cry or...

    I'm not sure exactly what to say I have. I found out I was celiac, gave up wheat, was better for a few years. I have always loved popcorn, and have always eaten lots of it. I got better from going wheat free. After a couple of years, maybe three or four, I dared fate and ate some bread. (I just couldn't resist it.) I didn't have an immediate reaction...
