    Well you stop being able to absorb nutrients from your food with Celiac, so it probably caused your B12 deficiency. Although some people have pernicious anemia and always have to take B12 supplements or shots. How wonderful that new annoying symptom is gone though!

    Do they even feed pigs wheat? Usually they feed cattle corn. There was an expierment done where they fed cows either corn or wheat and the ones on wheat got really sick. Even corn is pretty unnatural to cows. I've heard that it causes their gut to get unnaturally acidic. If they weren't being fed antibiotics they'd all die from gastrointestinal diseases...

    You just need to practice speaking up. It gets easier the more you do it.

    They're starting to use behavior therapy to good effect to counter sleeping problems. The first, obvious thing is, you have to realize that if you don't get 8 hours of sleep, you'll be fine the next day. From there, the anxiety diminishes. I think you actually feel WORSE the next if you worry about it. The thing to do is to get out of bed and don't go...

    I have read that you don't always get the bulls eye rash. It'd probably be best to have the blood tests done regardless.

    I also had that crushing fatigue that felt like hypothyroid and it has mostly lifted after going Gluten free, sticking to a healthy low carb diet (lots of veggies, some fruits, plenty of good protein) and getting off of milk products. The last piece of the puzzle for me seems to be getting some vigorous exercise. I wish you luck!

    Its great they're using Vit. D for treating bone issues! I've heard though you should take calcium and magnesium at the same time though. The vitamindcouncil.com has a lot of info. Open Original Shared Link

    You're eating essentially a low carb diet and one thing that happens in the first week is you lose a lot of water weight. All that glycogen (basicaly excess carbs) you were storing bind up a lot of water. Have you noticed you're peeing like a race horse? That won't continue long, your weight loss will slow once you get rid of the extra water. As...

    Are you under an MD's care for this?

    You might want to consider a cheese cake dessert. On the low carb forum I participate in they're always very popular. You can find tons of recipes here: Open Original Shared Link

    ARCHIVED Dr Fine's 10 Step Program

    Nancym replied to Yenni's topic in Doctors

    I saw him in San Diego, not the seminar. I loved his lecture. It was more about the research on celiac and gluten sensitivity he is doing than specifiic dietary recommendations. I differ with him on the dietary recommendations a little. I personally think we need more animal protein than he suggests and I also think eating both cooked and raw foods...

    Dr. Fine states that there's only one genetic combination that doesn't seem susceptible to gluten intolerance and that is double DQ4. Its only found in asia and I think parts of africa and only where the population hasn't intermarried with caucasians, so it'd be pretty rare in lots of Europe and America. Where there isn't double DQ4 then there's about a...

    I've read twice recently that alfalfa seeds contain canavanine that can be toxic. I think it is ok in mature alfalfa but is found in the seeds or sprouts. Open Original Shared Link

    Some people don't have obvious symptoms that are terrible but the long term damage can happen to almost any organ in the body (See the Gluten File for more info) or it can cause autoimmune diseases. Your daughter can have treats but make them gluten free treats. Chances are you or your daughters father may also have an issue but you don't realize it....

    Hair loss can be an indication of thyroid disease and guess what? Thyroid autoimmune diseases are often linked to celiac! The other thing that seems to cause hair loss is sudden weight loss. But get your thyroids checked!

    Make my own seeds? You mean, grow the plant, shell them myself? No. I just buy pumpkin or sunflower seeds, raw and shelled, from Trader Joe's. You could find them at any health food store. If you want to you can roast them yourself. Or buy them roasted. SCD is a good diet to follow to figure things out. I personally dropped the milk from SCD...

    Nancym replied to Yenni's topic in Doctors

    I don't think he talks a lot about what he eats. Mostly its leaf lettuces, nuts (in moderation), veggies, fruits, fish. I think sometimes people focus on what they can't eat so much they completely don't think about what they can eat. Do you really have to replace milk? Since I don't eat grains and don't have cereal, I don't find I miss milk at...

    Nancym replied to Yenni's topic in Doctors

    I stick to unprocessed food, no legumes, no dairy (except I am experimenting with goat-milk kefir a bit), no grains, nothing too starchy. I had to discard my notions of what breakfast should be. I do eat eggs, fruits, dried fruits, nuts (careful portions), squashes, some root crops (yams, rutabagas, turnips, parsnips), lettuces and all kinds of meat and...

    I've seen numerous complaints about them on this message forum. You might want to search.

    I also had IBS that mysteriously went away when I stopped eating gluten. Later I got tested by Enterolab.com and found out that both gluten and casein (dairy) are a problem for me. Forgive my indelicacy but... I always thought nasty, stinkin' gas was just part of being a healthy human being because EVERYONE in my family was gaseous. Little did I...

    Spooning appears to be concave, like a spoon. I couldn't find a picture though. Clubbing looks like they start to thinken or curve under about mid-nail: Open Original Shared Link.

    There's always the option of not eating bread, pasta and also not eating processed meats. I find unprocessed meats are delicious. I just process them at home!
