    Hopefully he is right - that it will go away. I will be posting some material on the subject. Claire

    Hi Thomas - Friends are hard to come by. They probably are just ignorant rather than deliberatlely trying to hurt you. You need to say to them what you have written here - that your health is important to you - that gluten endangers your health and predisposes you to serious, often irreversible, conditions. Tell them you would just like them to drop the...

    This post could have gone under Doctos as well but hope you all find it here. It is relative to doctors as well as to tests common for celiacs. I had a colonoscopy and endoscopy yesterday. The colonoscopy was negative - the good news. The endoscopy results will be back in 10 days. These tests were done by my new GI, He passed the initial interview test...

    As interesting as all this is, I still am a loss to understand why the discussion took off in this direction. It certainly was not the intended subject. I think the intended subject just got lost in this hunter/gatherer discussion. Personally, I think that is unfortunate. Claire

    ARCHIVED Bananas

    Claire replied to danikali's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I used to eat bananas regularly - especially after so many food intolerances showed up. For about two to three years I ate at least one a day. Guess what? Intolerance set in. Be aware that this happens with food intolerances. You have to learn not to eat anything excessively. Moderation is the key - otherwise more and more foods get eliminated from your...

    Thanks for the replies. Claire

    As I said, there is a lot of discussion about this floating in cyberspace. You may want to check it out. I think that it is the chewing rather than the gum itself that stimulates the saliva that 'hurries' things up. In that case SugarFree gum would be just as good as any other. I did not read up on that. Just be sure to check that whatever gum you use...

    ANYONE USING THIS GRAIN? Jowar, a New Cereal Grain, appears to be safe for celiacs. It is a hard, round, white grain free of "off" flavors and colors, and with excellent milling characteristics. Jowar is very similar to a food sorghum widely used in India. For further information, write to Duncan Brown, PO Box 824, Water Valley, TX 76958, or call ...

    Lots of internet material and conflicting opinions on this subject. While the article is primarily addressing this issue as it relates to post surgical situations - the prinicpal - i.e. activating digestive system - is valid for celiacs and others with GI symptoms. Watch for gluten and aspartame in gum. Claire CHEWING GUM SPEEDS HEALING Chewing stimulates...

    Thanks for the site reference. I recently posted a Ron Hoggan 'excerpt' from a presentation that he gave. In that he referred to the paleolithic diet - though that was not the principal subject. The forum folks seem to have gone with the paleo aspect of the article rather than the main subject. It did generate an interesting discussion of the paleo diet...

    Wow - all this is hardly the reaction I expected - or hoped for. I didn't post this to generate this very interesting discussion of the Paleolithic diet. I excerpted a paragraph which is very relevant for those with celiac - as well as for those without celiac but with serious food intolerances and other autoimmune diseases. The paragraph just happened...

    I have never purchased from this company but thought forum folks might like to see the site. Claire Freeda Vitamins has a complete line of gluten-free supplements, which also contain no starch, coal tar dyes, artificial flavoring, salt, sulfates, preservatives, lactose, fish ingredients, eggs, nor meat ingredients. According to Dr. Philip Zimmerman, who...

    ABOUT OSTEOPOROSIS 11. Undiagnosed celiac disease is another cause of calcium depletion of the bones. Recent blood screening data suggest that 95% of the celiacs inthe USA are undiagnosed. For those who have the condition and are undiagnosed there is malabsorption of the fat soluble minerals and vitamins, especially calcium and vitamin D (21). Adult...

    The following is a very significant statement. Do 'digest' the implications - Claire AUTOIMMUNITY DISEASES GLUTEN CONNECTION As for the connection between autoimmunity and cereal grains, it is clear and compelling. The theoretical perspective of molecular mimicry suggests that gliadin-derived peptides, may activate the immune system against collagenous...

    On the subject of DH. It does not respond to gluten-free as quickly as other symptoms do. Don't get discouraged or think you don't have celiac if the rash continues or returns intermittently. Intestinal healing can take upwards to two years or more (though bloating, big D and other symptoms may diminish early on) DH takes that long - maybe longer. Hang in...

    I know that restaurants sometimes decline to serve customers who mention 'allergy'. I wonder if they could get away with posting a 'We Do Not Serve Celiacs' sign?
  24. Claire
    I do hope you have a knowledgeable GI. One of the first things you get to know about celiac is that most doctors are in the dark - they just don't know much about the disease, often give patients poor or false information. I would suggest that after your appt. you come back here to the forum and share your experience - tell us all what the GI said. Many...

    Please don't take offense. I admit, I was trying to make an emphatic point. This can be a life and death matter. Even if some of the effects I listed are not fatal, they certainly are conditions you do not want to have. Going on a diet to lose weight is one thing and failing now and then disappointing but not a threat as it is with celiac. The gluten...
