I have a friend, from Asia, who I work with who has had celiac all of her life she is now around age 50. She only finally figured out what her problem was about a year ago the same time I discovered I had celiac. So yes Asians do get it and this friend was not so fortunate to have been young when so much information was available, she had to suffer. Any...

I am also sensitive to casein. My doctor just gave me some new pills and the fine print shows there is lactose in the ingredients. I gather lactose is milk sugar, does anyone know if it still contains casein? thanks Nin

A friend of mine had the Naet treatment and was told she was cured of her gluten sensitivity years ago. She continued to suffer with ill health, but believed candida was the only problem and after many years of doctors and treatments was retested to be told she is still gluten sensitive. According to what is written on Celiac, gluten sensitivity is not...

I found Belsoy unsweetened to be pretty good, they also have vanilla. good luck.

My tests fell in the normal range, but I had considerably reduced my wheat due to a doctor telling me it would help me detox. Luckily my doctor warned me the blood test might show negative but I might still have the gluten/celiac problem. I also have always had a high bilirubin. It would be interesting to know if other celiacs have this problem. It is...

I was on my third doctor (a Naturopath) and by that point showed her various labs that had gone out of the normal range (Liver/Platelet/thyroid) and showed her celiac articles that confirmed that this happens with celiac and goes to normal once the body is recovering, plus I showed her the enterolab tests. I think she was a bit uncertain at first, but after...

I'm a mother and found out last year I have celiac disease. My stomach problems only started two years ago in my late 40's. I have had my two teenagers tested (they have no symptoms) and they both came up positive. As this is genetic, and some people do not have symptoms but damage is being done, I would highly recommend your parents get tested or try...

I found out I was gluten/dairy/yeast/egg sensitive through stool tests done with>www.Enterolab.com They give the prices on their site, and most insurance companies will cover at least part of the cost. I found out both my kids also have the same problem, so it makes it a lot easier to know what to avoid. I had previously done the allergy/sensitivity...

I have several relatives who felt healthy but had GERD. After they heard I was diagnosed with Gluten Sensitivity they gave up wheat and their GERD went away. I just had my 13 yr old tested (she looks fine) enterolab shows she is sensitive to gluten/yeast/dairy and eggs. I am glad I was diagnosed first (almost a year ago). She has been able to see my...

Drinking lemon squeezed in warm/hot water first thing in the morning helps clean your liver etc, and helps your body detox. My grandfather drank this every morning, and I suppose those old fashioned remedies had a reason behind them that people didn't always fully understand but knew they were good.

Chris, Glad you are feeling fine. I too sometimes get water retention in the feet/legs. I notice it more so when I have been exposed to gluten. I suspect our bodies are ridding us of toxins from the gluten and this means the liver and kidneys have more work. So probably drinking lots of water, and lemon in water could be helpful. A lot of what you described...

From all that I have read I t hink you probably are pre-celiac, and you could do a stool test with "enterolab" which is more sensitive than the blood test. The Italian Doctors who are way ahead have now come up with a test similar to the stool test, they think this is the way of the future because the blood test doesn't pick up everyone. Good luck!

S. I agree with Elaine. I had been going in circles with doctors, and found the Enterolab site on my own and just went ahead and ordered a bunch without fully understanding. If you can get guidance from Dr. F. that might be a good idea. You can ask for a receipt and then send the claim to your insurance. Good luck, Nin

The ND I am dealing with tells me that people with Celiac often develop other sensitivities, and not only to food, also to other chemicals etc. in the environment. Once your intestines and body begins to heal (after some period on a gluten free diet which varies from one individual to another) you likely will lose the intolerances. I would guess it is safer...
