Matilda, Where in my posts did I mention Lyme or mercury??? What about Crohns? What about thyroid disease?? What about all these other diseases that come up on this board?? I think what I said was that alot of other conditions can lead to a gluten sensitivity. I dont go around this board suggesting Lyme or mercury....I realize its a Celiac... -

Nancy...I did not say everyone would still continue to have problems...I said the vast majority who test positive for gluten antibodies through Enterolab still continue to have problems despite the diet. I always have you in mind as being an exception since you are the only one I'm aware of on this board who got well and does not carry a Celiac gene. There... -

Thanks Donna! I dont think I mentioned it but I loved the personal pic you had up recently. I think you had 2 different ones of you...they were both GREAT pics. I see you've changed it again...which cute little doggie is this one?? Is this the one that you rescued (forgot his name)? -

Respond to the diet as in "I feel a little better"...or respond to the diet as in "I am fully recovered from all symptoms"???? Does he have a percentage for this?? A person with Celiac should have resolution of symptoms once they are completely gluten-free and healed....unless of course they have other issues as well. From what I can tell about those... -

Thanks Patti...I actually have alot of dresses now....just not alot of opportunities to wear them. In my entire 20's you could probably count the times I wore a dress on one hand. I started liking dresses more once I got into my 30's. I was really happy that day. It was a fun b-day....I had to edit my ex out of the pic though. -

Oh...and in my personal pic...it might *look* like I'm sort of "hanging out" a little...but I can assure you its not the case. Its just my tan line. Thats what I dont like about this picture. -

Have you been feeling more hungry?? MSG is known to mess with the part of the brain which tells you when you're full and when to stop eating. So yeah...it wouldnt be far-fetched. Your picture is cute by the way.....you and Donna with those adorable white dresses, socks and shoes. My moms little girl pics look like that too.....it must have been... -

Thanks Jin. This pic was taken on my 30th birthday....I was at Benihanas (sp?) having dinner with my friends and family. Later on some of us went out dancing....I have a bunch of pictures of me getting all crazy outside the club. I got a new personal pic too...I'm wearing a dress even! Yeah...its one of those rare "dress-up" occassions. This... -

Hi Patti. Todays my Mom's birthday...she celebrated last night and I think is just hanging out with the hubby today. Patti...this happens to me ALOT but usually I have too many quote blocks and too many emoticons. <sigh> -

Dunno Patti?? I know alot of people react to it....including me. I've read enough bad stuff about it to make me believe its not too good for us. I believe MSG can cause weight gain and I dont think carrageenan is much different. -

Are you sure the milk of magnesia isnt causing you problems?? I would reccomend not taking anything at all for maybe 5 days or so...then add only one thing in...and dont add anything else for 3 days. If there are no problems add something else and wait again for 3 days before anything else. You wont know whats bothering you if there are alot of variables... -

Jin...I think this member contacted me awhile back (maybe about candida) and I did think she could have Lyme or mercury problems. If I remember correctly her kids may have been sick too?? Anyways...I answered her questions and suggested Lyme testing and also looking into candida/mercury. I never heard back from her....which is usually the case when... -

I do not believe that Dr. Fine is running a scam...however, I do not believe that his methods will ever be widely accepted or considered diagnostic of anything. Reason being...many conditions can lead to a leaky gut and a leaky gut will always lead to a gluten sensitivity. So yes, I believe that a great deal of people (especially those who are ill) are... -

See...I know I've posted this stuff before but I really think this is what the mercury and other metals did to me...totally interfered with my metabolic function...so that nothing works right but otherwise I appear to be perfectly healthy.

Hi Karen, I would recommend sending Tiffany a pm as she doesnt post on this thread anymore. This topic is over a year old so her post in this thread was from April 2006. There are many other people here who are gluten free without positive bloodwork or endoscopy but if you are wanting to hear from Tiffany I thought I should let you know she wont likely... -

Good point....eliminating a major source of molds would totally make a difference in how effectively our bodies can fight this stuff. Yeah....I'm gonna eat Wonder Bread to stay healthy!! Does anyone know anything about this brand of cookware??? Its ceramic coated so alot better for you than metals or teflon or anything like that...
