    There are many people with celiac disease who do not have intestinal damage. That is not the only kind of damage that the disease does. It also sets you up for other autoimmune diseases which often don't appear until you are older - when you least need them. The one gluten sensitivity gene is to be concerned about because while there may be no intestinal...

    On the topic of being worse rather than better after going gluten free - it seems to be a common response. I have many years experience with food intolerances and I know that there are few people who have only one. When you have a lot of them and take one away the others become more assertive - at least it seems so in the eye of the victim. You just have...

    ARCHIVED "celiac Isn't Hereditary"

    Claire replied to Emme999's topic in Doctors

    Every state has a licensing Board - report him. The idea of sending him celiac material is good. Also you can report him to the Celiac Foundation and ask them to send him educational material. Gee, I must be having a bad day. I sound vindictive!!!!!!!! Maybe it's because I just left that Bash Doctors thread. Claire

    Some Naturopathic doctors will handle this for you but you can arrange it yourself. You ask your doctor or PA for a written order for the test you want. Fax this or mail to the lab with insturctions for what test you want and mailing info. They will send you a test kit which you take to the hospital lab or any reputable lab in your area. They will draw...

    That gluten-free brownie at Outback has NO Flour in it. It is a flourless brownie - you can find recipes on the internet for these. Some of these recipes rely heavily on nuts. These can give many people the Big D problem. Claire

    York Labs: Open Original Shared Link If you put a search in on this forum for York you may want to read some of the recent comments - mostly related to poor response time, customer service etc. Claire

    Carabbas, Bonefish Grill and Outback are all owned by the same company. We have an Outback faairly near here so I can get there from time to time. Bonefish Grill is great. Claire

    There is definitely conflicting opinions on this forum - as well as elsewhere - about these tests. I think I am open minded so while I endorse the tests based on personal experience I do not fail to alert a would be client that there is a degree of false positives that have to be considered. York Labs claims to be doing a good job at eliminating the false...

    I suspect that the "biopsy proven Celiacs who don't carry either the DQ2 or D8 gene" may well have intestinal damage caused by casein. I know I have the intestinal damage, I have food intolerances by the dozen and I do not have Celiac genes - unless I have some Celiac gene that they haven't found yet. Claire

    This could be a classic description of a Delayed Food Reaction - not an allergy per se anymore than celiac is an allergy. Food particles are getting through the intestinal wall and into the blood stream where the immune system will get to them - in a few hours, even a few days. Why these show up when you go gluten free hasn't been explained as far as I...

    It is a good resource book - a place to look things up. She does give some advice that isn't quite kosher. I personally did not enjoy the book for one reason. The writer's affluence is showing. She is obviously not an average middle class lady. Well-to-do at least - more likely wealthy. It jumps out at you and I found it outright annoying. When the chef...

    Hi Berneses - I am so glad you got some good vibes with your new Doctor. I must admit that I am on the down side right now. I have appt. with GP tomorrow. It is generally a waste but I am asking for some other tests and I have to have a doctor to order them - so she is it. This is the one who said I was too old for celiac and she had never heard of a Type...

    broncobux- thanks for the help. As I said, I am very used to computers - work hours a day here but this just didn't work. I finally took the URL, pasted it into a doc and made it inactive and then activated it from that location. With that it worked fine. I did sign up but don't know how much I will get there. It it will take a bit to get used to it...

    Andrew - It is quite possible that your are right and you do not have celiac. It is also possible that that the negative test was not accurate. Many biopsies are not because they only take a small sample from one, sometimes two, areas. 7 months is a short time to expect serious intestinal damage. It might be long enough for some people but others...

    BERNESES - Did you see my post to you re the address you asked for. I put in with a quote and I have noticed that sometimes people don't back up to read things posted that way rather than as a new reply at the bottom.. Claire

    for PreOptMegs - Sometimes this board frustrates me. I had a reply to your question all finished when it just vanished into thin air! I have been using this phrase 'two sides of the same coin' for awhile now because I am convinced that is exactly what it is. In the book 'Dangerous Grains' there is a brief discussion regarding having these two disorders...

    For whatever reason, this did not work. Anyone else have trouble with it? Claire

    Don't miss looking at the Omega Juicer. Read Dr. Mercola's comments on this. Model 8003 and 8005 is the latest model. They are the same - just different exteriors and prices. This one does leaf vegetables - which many do not. Also makes nut butters etc. Claire

    I was originally tested in 1990 by Immune Labs - Open Original Shared Link I have since been tested by this lab twice - this because I develop new sensitivities - usually because I find a food I can eat and eat too much of it and then it becomes reactive. In truth these tests do produce false positives. I am told that York Labs is making a renewed effort...

    Don't regret the post. While there are some forum members who generally speak against tests, specialists etc. there are many others who do not. I for one, couldn't do blood testing for Celiac, so gene testing was a must. After years without answers and with worsening symptoms I have to go to tests and to specialist - even without abundant confidence in either...
