Anybody Out There A Morbidly Obese Celiac?
Nancym replied to ts1986's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
The skinny celiac is more and more a thing of the past. Doctors get their knowledge from school they attended 20-30 years ago and don't seem to get updated. You're not an anomaly! -
Goitrogenic Compounds In Tapioca And Other Foods
Nancym replied to RiceGuy's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Cooking usually disables most of the goitrogens. -
I used to have something similar happen. What I think it was I wasn't truly awake but I felt like I was. I'd be lying in bed and a shimmering, huge, translucent spider would be spinning it's way down on a bit of silk about to land on me. It was SO extremely realistic that there was no way I thought...

After I got my enterolab gene test I googled my genetic results and found one of the genes Enterolab reported on was also somehow connected to narcolepsy. I don't have it though... thank god!

I remember hearing Randy Pausch explain that pancreatic cancer can irritate (or affect) the gallbladder and cause digestion problems, like floating stools, but not everyone gets that symptom. If I had pancreatic cancer in my family, I'd be severely limiting my consumption of sugars and starchy...

I had some gum issues and lots of tooth decay. But it's all gone away since I've adopted a Paleo diet. My hygienist tells me my mouth is now in amazing condition. Frankly, I think it was the grains, sugars and sticky sweet things like raisins and dried fruits that were causing the problems. ...

Dr. Fine says double DQ4, which is only found in Asians, is about the only genetic sequence that seems free of gluten intolerance. But you'd have to have 2 copies of that gene, so probably pure bred Asians only. However, there are intolerances to all kinds of foods like dairy, even rice sometimes...

I used to have lots of muscle spasms in my neck and shoulders and they went away when I went gluten-free and CF. Lately I had a week where I went back on dairy and the cramping came back, so for me it was caused by dairy. For cramps you can try supplementing potassium, magnesium and calcium ...

Lipoma Or Angiolipomas? Or Lypomas?
Nancym replied to cyberprof's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Give the paleo diet a try. It is a very healthy diet and certainly can't hurt. It does seem to help lots of people with autoimmune diseases. -
My Doctor Doesn't Believe Me
Nancym replied to Ellie2's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Somehow the human race managed to do just fine without wheat until a few thousand years ago. -
Overwhelmed With Gluten Free Food & Prices
Nancym replied to Disney323's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
The accounting and recordkeeping would be a nightmare, hopefully you have a lot of time available to set up a good accounting system and way to keep track of all your receipts. Just go to irs.gov and look for the rules, special forms and all. Oh, and it probably only is available if you spend more... -
I'm just curious where you get this notion from? Do you think gluten intolerance only affects (or doesn't) the villi in your intestines? I had severe IBS, neurological symptoms and several autoimmune diseases from my gluten intolerance. I'm sure it caused leaky gut which spawned all these autoimmune...
