I've been gluten free products for a few years, but symptoms of fatigue, constipation etc are returning after discontinuing consumption of special gluten free foods. I experimentally, stopped eating all the expensive, highly processed gluten free foods that I've been buying from the health food store. Low and behold, I'm experiencing pretty much the symptoms...

I had the marker for possible celiac and three years ago - quit all gluten. I had such bad leaky gut that I'd been losing about a pound and a half a year over the last 27 years which nobody could explain. Since being gluten free I've regained some of my normal weight. But also in that time I've become really dairy intolerant; especially to any boiled dairy...

Thanks.... having had chronic fatigue for years - I've had the thyroid checked - including the really extra sensitive fancy test.

Thought I was done with this nonsense. I don't eat much dairy and try to limit my use of stuff like Rudi's gluten free products. I eat brown rice pasta once a week. So... I know others must have experienced this. Any and all suggestions are much appreciated. Thanks, Keshav

Having lived in India I'm always jonesing for Indian food but too lazy to cook it. But uttapam are really easy to make and very satisfying. You can experiment with adding all kinds of different vegetables. I like the tradtional ones. Once you make a quart of batter it keeps for a long time in the fridge. Great with a strong cup of coffee (if you go for...

Haven't had them for a while - but recently got glutened while traveling. Someone turned me onto peppermint oil in enteric coated capsules. People were always suggesting pepermint tea - but it never really helped at all. But the oil in enteric-coated capsules really helps a lot.

I wrote to Lawrence J. Brandt, MD, Professor of Medicine and Surgery at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and asked if anyone was doing trials for FMT as a treatment for Celiac and he said: At present, this is an area of interest but no one has submitted an IND to the FDA to get permission to do it. I know of no one doing this at present, but the...

I went to see Eng yesterday and while he seems knowledgable - I felt rushed and if I wanted any info about treating my condition, I had to drag it out of him. He wasn't exactly volunteering to offer ways to cope with Celliac. I had the sense of being in a "mill" - get 'em in and get 'em out. He's no longer on 5th Ave. He's at 115 E. 23rd Street. But you can...

One of my doctors confirmed that I have iron deficiency but gave very little in the way of constructive advice. Instinct tells me with a damaged gut - diet alone won't be sufficient to fix the problem. There are iron supplements around that are gentle and don't constipate but I keep hearing warnings about iron supplements being a big no no for males. I am...

Months ago I did a blood panel because of fatigue. Tests came back with high numbers for gliaden. My idiot family doctor just said, "You've got celiac". Naturally I stopped eating gluten and got really sick. Meantime - was also seeing a chronic fatigue Dr. who pointed out my iron deficency. This guy is supposed to be one of the world's foremost authorities...

When I went gluten free I experienced nausea, panic attacks and suicidal depression. I lost track of how long this went on. Eventually - I went to a psychopharmacologist and got on Zoloft and Valium. The Zoloft really got rid of the depression but had some side-effects including constipation and daily headaches. The doctor decided I should get off the Zoloft...

I started getting floaters maybe 9 months ago. I've been glutin free for about 3 months now and they are pretty much non-existent. Cannot say for sure the two are connected. Often the brain compensates and learns to ignore them and they seem to go away on their own. Also since being gluten-free - I don't have the constant scaley dry skin all the time in...

I experienced this a lot when I first went gluten free. I've seen some scholarly articles about how in essence gluten molecules attach themselves to endorphins and lessen their effect on mood. It's kind of like kicking dope for a while. I had terrible depression as well. It takes time but it does get better the longer you stay off gluten. I'm not completely...

Yes... in the beginning it made "movements" more free. But then it did exactly the opposite. I suppose it's like the way that different foods are okay for different folks dealing with Celiac. I believe it has to do with the fact that anything that artificially takes water from your digestive system to move undigested food also tends to create a lot of gas...
