    Yeah the microwave bit was too much for me. I lost interest in the lecture. Dr. Marsh apparently allows his patients to drink English beer. He says that he has had a Celiac practice for over 25 years with over 300 patients with no issue. I never liked beer so I don't really care to drink it... but others have said the day before that beer was to be avoided...

    I do love a treat meal occasionally! I am trying to lose fat and maintain lean body mass so my diet is a over 50% carbs (don't let me fool you otherwise - carbs are not the devil!). I try to stay away from processed food. I do treat myself occasionally though. I like to make coconut milk ice cream and the occasional baked good. I also experimented with gluten...

    I miss my lipsticks SO much! Let me know how you like it! I may purchase a few shades myself.

    What are your guys thoughts on the whole case study regarding microwaved food? I think that was a bit of fear mongering...

    I get where you are coming from completely. I do think there is a bit of fear mongering but honestly I don't have any previous exposure to him. So I have no bias one way or the other... In regards to a diet of protein and vegetables being boring... I am a bodybuilder so I eat lots of veggies, meat, sweet potatoes and brown rice and eggs. I don't eat much...

    OK.. Dr. Ford's lecture is fascinating. The gluten-zero approach versus the gluten-free approach (less than 20ppm) makes sense. We are not talking about just gut damage. But can you truly be gluten-zero?

    I have also had to sit out multiple times. I have fractured my right kneecap twice and have had 3 knee surgeries. So I've definitely had to start from scratch before. I feel like I am way ahead of the game this time around.

    Dr. Fasano's information about leaky gut is intriguing. I never understood it before. He explains it well.

    I have been enjoying the summit thus far.

    So tired today... almost 2 weeks gluten free. One of the worst fatigue days yet.

    I am back in the gym as of the last week of October. I have been managing 5 one hour sessions a week at the gym. I do 2 leg days and 2 push/pull days with 1 cardio HIIT day with abs thrown in. I have lost a lot of my strength though. I am lifting about 1/3 the weight I used to. I get fatigued easier and my rest times are 3x as long. I walk my dog for 45...

    Feel free to message me anytime if you need to vent Josh. It's my first holiday season gluten free too so I know it is going to be rough.

    That is such a good idea for saving money and you're recycling.

    No worries - I realize that I have another thread that is more up to date with my testing but for some reason I forget. Dang brain fog.

    I still went through a gluten challenge for my endoscopy which I had last month. I had a positive biopsy for celiac and also have the HLA-DQ2 gene so I have 3 tests telling me I am celiac: the serology, the biopsy, and the genetic marker. I actually had some villi on my biopsy so they were not completely atrophied from the 3 weeks of gluten challenge. I also...

    Just got my HLA Celiac disease typing results. I am negative for HLA-DQ8 but I was positive for HLA-DQ2. Does anyone know what the rest of this information means? My doctor hasn't told me anything I was just notified automatically via the online health record system that I had a new test result.... HLA-DQ2 Positive ...

    I am in the process of cooking my first gluten free pizza!! I am using Bloomfield Farms dough mix with olives, gluten-free sausage, and mushrooms! I am beyond excited!
  18. moosemalibu
    I don't know if this happens to everyone - but it happened to me. I went gluten-free for about a month just like you did. Then I did a gluten challenge for diagnostic purposes for 3 weeks. Now I am one week out and I am getting headaches pretty much every day since I stopped eating gluten this time around. I think it's normal withdrawal from gluten. Perhaps...
  19. moosemalibu
    Thank you!! Yes I feel the same way. If its not someone else's plan that's fine with me but I wanted a diagnosis for my own peace of mind.

    Can you be put on the cancellation list to see if you can get in sooner if someone else cancels their appointment before yours?? I know how it is... And it sucks. Took 2 months to see me gi specialist. Hang in there.

    Biopsy results are in. My doctor called me today and said that I was definitely celiac. I didn't have completely 'flat" villi but they were damaged and also there was an increase in WBC. He said with the serology and the biopsy along with my resolution of symptoms on a gluten-free diet I am celiac. So nothing surprising but I am glad that I had it done. It...

    I will be doing a brine for my first every turkey this year! I am doing a test turkey to make sure I don't completely botch it because I am hosting a Friendsgiving and I've never cooked for a big gathering of people before... should be interesting!
  24. moosemalibu
    The think blood test and the biopsy are different for the length of time for gluten challenge. I had already had my blood drawn prior going gluten free and then had to re-challenge for the biopsy because my PCP told me to go gluten free after serology results. I think the standard for blood test is 3 months of gluten and for biopsy its 2 weeks. Open Original...

    Ugh Sorry to hear about your cold. Not fun! It probably is the gluten. It effs with everything.
