    This is very true. I would recommend looking for the underlying issue(s) which are burdening the immune system. 4 years ago I spent alot of time focusing on candida.....following a strict diet, etc. Problems did not resolve and symptoms always returned. I no longer have big problems with yeast, fungal spots on my skin have disappeared and I did...

    Paula, I know exactly what you mean about the photogenic memory. I've read so many websites over the last few years but when I'm looking for certain info. I can picture the info....where it was written on the page and what the page looked like. That helps me find the page amongst hundreds of bookmarked sites. I can just "see" it in my mind. Good thing...

    I agree that letting him know that we intend to post his response on the forum is important to mention. Good thinking!

    Paula...I felt the same way! I do need to share stuff and bounce it off of others....or just put it out there. Also, when I write about things it "sticks" with me.....so I'm actually able to retain alot of the scientificness much better if I've understood enough that I can write it out. If I write it down....I'm more likely to remember it. I have a new...

    April, I think I probably wont be posting much of my personal info. on any public board.....maybe we can figure out some type of private chatroom or something? I dont know if thats possible but its something to consider. Occassionally, I have felt like some people just read along waiting (and hoping) to see failures.....and not so much for support...

    Gentleheart, I think the letter is outstanding....very well written. You can certainly add my name to the list. I have had all of the testing. I'm not sure that its absolutely necessary that only those who have had experience with Enterolab sign. I think that many who have not tested have the same questions and would be interested in any response from...

    Hi Shay.....I have DQ1 and DQ3. I'm sensitive to everything....and I'm intolerant to nothing. OK.....I know that doesnt sound right but its true for me. In my case I have focused more on my body's inability to break down and eliminate the natural chemicals in foods. Even though it seems like I'm reactive to ALOT of foods...I'm actually unable...

    Lisa, trust me that you didnt miss anything worth knowing about. Besides....you have my number.....we can still talk about whatever..... and whenever. When I get a little better I'm still gonna come to Fresno for pizza! I'm not leaving....just not posting the health related stuff that is personal.
  9. Rachel--24
    Paula, I dont blame you and to be honest this is exactly what has been on my mind the past couple days. I too wont be posting anything on this board with regards to my health issues, treatments, doctor appt.'s or anything of that nature. I feel its not in my best interest to do this anymore. Of course if anyone is interested they can always...

    Actually it was other members who brought up my issues....and not me. This can be confirmed by reviewing the posts. I have never stated that the fact that I eat gluten without having problems is *proof* of anything. I said that we do not know how valid his test is. ....and I also said that in my case I dont seem to have a problem with it. I have problems...

    ROFLMAO Donna.......that is freakin hilarious!!! I totally laughed out loud.....and I had to wonder how many people I've killed over the phone. P.S....I do have a close friend named Becky. and that is the cutest little puppy!
  12. Rachel--24
    I'm really wondering if this thread can continue without my issues and my diet constantly being brought up here? We are talking about Dr. Fine and Enterolab and if we want to discuss all of my issues or whether they stem from my consumption of gluten....maybe someone would like to start a seperate topic called "Rachel's diet/issues.....are they related to...

    haha....thats funny! I know that he's seen me without a baseball hat because for LED treatments I had to be as plain as could be...no belts, hats, jewelery or make-up. I think I was wearing my hair up though...in a ponytail...so its true that he's probably never seen my hair down. I wear a hat everyday at work....and I always think its funny...
  14. Rachel--24
    April, It might be that the eat *poop* looks are caused by him reacting to something. I notice big changes in my attitude when something is "off" in my diet. The change is so noticeable....not just to me but to everyone who knows me. They can actually tell now when my diet is not right. When I wasnt able to eat brownies for those few weeks and...
  15. Rachel--24
    I never intend to seem rude and unapproachable but I believe that I do come across that way since I've been told that for as long as I can remember. Also, at work I tend to be focused on whatever task I'm doing. I wear a baseball hat and people cant look me in the eyes as easily. Those things combined with my shyness make me seem unapproachable. Also...

    Joe, I agree with everything you wrote. I dont believe that we will ever have an answer to our questions regarding Dr. Fine....although it would have been nice for those of us who didnt benefit from the diet. Is the test valid or is he just obsessed with his belief that gluten is bad for everyone? Nobody knows the answer but in my opinion his own actions...

    Donna, maybe this is why our relationships didnt work out. Maybe its because we didnt actually KNOW the people we were in relationships with! Maybe the whole "getting to know you" part is actually more important than I'd previously thought. OMG...I might be on to something! Yeah....I'm still shy with total strangers but I usually...

    Paula, Going back to your soy/estrogen question. I definately think if the body is already having elevated levels of estrogen you may find that soy makes it worse. Its just like anything else. Our bodies dont do well with too much of anything...including hormones....and especially if its unable to eliminate/detox them efficiently. So far from what...

    Kassandra, this is AWESOME!!! I'm so happy that you are doing so well! I hope you continue to have the BEST holiday season. Gaining weight is not such a bad thing....its another sign that you are improving. YAY! I think that undeniably you are living proof of how much the unresolved emotional issues can block us and hold us back. Its amazing...

    April, OMG.....I can remember during the first couple years that I was sick I would seriously break out in a SWEAT if someone was trying to talk to me. It was shyness to the EXTREME! Also, I would feel hot flashes all through my body. Its no wonder I kind of withdrew from everything! I couldnt even TALK to people without reacting. I think...
  21. Rachel--24
    Fortunately, its only an initial shyness that I have but once I'm past that part and when I'm comfortable in my surrounding you just cant shut me up. There have been times where I've felt comfortable with a person right from the start but its more common that I have to go through this annoying awkward shyness period first. Hardly anyone ever...

    Sherry, I'm gonna check out the YouTube instructional videos Nora mentioned and see if I can figure it out. Oh yeah...this might sound weird and I'm not sure if its anything like EFT but I do notice that I sometimes tap on my temples. For some reason it makes me feel better and I find that I can focus better when I'm putting some type of pressure on...
  23. Rachel--24
    I have to say that I'm a little surprised that my case would be "dismissed" by some...as if I have nothing to contribute as far as the subject regarding the validity of Dr. Fine's test. Just because I continued to search and was able to get some answers for myself does not erase the fact that I spent a total of over $500 on Enterolab tests which prompted...
  24. Rachel--24
    Thanks Judy....that means alot to me.
  25. Rachel--24
    If I'm remembering correctly Joe wasnt mentioning any chronic symptoms. I believe he was just investigating every possibility of Celiac/GI because two of his daughters are diagnosed Celiac's. He has heard Dr. Fine speak....and he ordered the test which came back positive. He lived the lifestyle....being a dad of 2 Celiac's he was already familiar with it...
