    Even though you don't get severe symptoms it'd really be bad to continue to eat gluten. By the time you get out of school, settle down into a job, marriage perhaps, kids (who knows), you might find your health has really deteriorated. Hopefully you've got a long, long time of good things to do on the earth. You don't want to look back on your teenage years...

    Yes, I use splenda. I use a highly concentrated syrup though it's just pure sucralose and water. It isn't easy to come by though. Since Splenda is 600x sweeter than sugar you're really using very, very little of the actual spenda ingredient, everything else is filler. Splenda for baking has sugar in it I believe. "Regular" splenda has maltodextrin...

    Phew! Good thing I'm not eating bread any longer. I wonder if they'll identify what exactly it is in bread that is doing it? Open Original Shared Link

    Well, the high protein vegetable based foods just aren't going to help you out if you're allergic to them. Could you soften on the vegetarian stance a bit and eat fish and eggs? If you're not getting enough B vitamins that could certainly compound your problems.

    Be sure to see him! I attended his lecture in San Diego and I thought he was marvelous. He talked about his research and how it all fits together.

    He should get to a good endocryologist that deals with metabolic issues. There could be a number of things causing his blood sugar issues. From someone else's post about a similar condition:

    I started taking it and my loose stools that I've had for 10 months running, cleared up.

    If you restrict carbohydrates enough your body has to transition into a state where it gets it's energy from ketones, which come from fat. It also has to manufacture enough glucose to power the few cells in the body that can't run on ketones, from protein. So yes, there is about a two week period where the body has to adjust and you're likely to not...

    Maybe the lady has gluten induced brain damage herself?

    Hard to tell. The order of diagnosis really doesn't have anything to do with the onset, and some of these diseases take a long time to get diagnosed, unfortunately.

    I don't find them overly salty.

    ARCHIVED Brain Fog

    Nancym replied to DrMom's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    Isn't it interesting how we patients KNEW about the connection to celiac and the brain long before this article came out. I'm sure 90% of doctors will remain ignorant of the connection for at least another 10 years. On my father's side of the family there is TONS of dementia and I do have one celiac gene. My other gene is a GS gene that is connected...

    Yeah, that's another advantage of taking it sublingually, you don't have to worry about taking it with your supplements or foods, since it goes from your mouth directly to your blood stream. The T4 tablets don't really dissolve in the mouth all that well though, I'd crunch it gently and then shove it into the cheek, ifyou want to be really SURE you're getting...

    I think it is par for the course with Hashi's. Your thyroid is dying and sometimes producing, other times not. Also, if you're having food run right through you fast because of dairrhea, you might not be absorbing your thyroid meds. You could let it dissolve slowly in your cheek (sub-lingual) and then you'd be assured that it is getting absorbed.

    ARCHIVED Eating Out

    Nancym replied to kari's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Hmmm... you might have just made Chefs much more appealing as dates! Now, where can I find me a chef?

    Just read an interesting article about Kefir and allergies: Open Original Shared Link

    I've gone from frequent loose stools (10 months running) to constipation now. I'm still hurting from my last BM. Ow! So I just gave myself some stool softeners and I'm increasing the fiber in my diet. I had kind of backed off on the fiber because of the loose stools.
  18. Nancym
    How about backing off the "gluten-free" replacement foods for awhile? Go to eating foods you make yourself like meat, veggies, fruits. Then, if you need to, slowly introduce the gluten-free stuff and see if your reaction is from that.

    ARCHIVED Dq1

    Nancym replied to lonewolf's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    You need Open Original Shared Link tons of stuff in there about neurological aspects of gluten sensitivity. One Dr. finds brain lesions that have gluten antibodies and no evidence of intestinal issues. There are other ways gluten attacks organs, such as DH (of the skin). You might have aboslutely no evidence in the intestines. So yes, your reaction...
  20. Nancym
    DQ1 seems to be associated with neurological (aka brain) effects of gluten. I bet that tiredness will go away if you get her off it.
  21. Nancym
    On the Enterolab web site there's an FAQ and an essay you should read. If you get the entire celiac panel done it tests for antibodies in the stool as well as genes. The blood tests are not as sensitive and often return negative results for people who later adopt a gluten-free diet and find themselves responding to it. But on the other hand, MD's don...

    If you ate out once with my friend, who has no eating issues she's just ultra-fussy and likes to know EVERYTHING about her meal, you'd never again feel like you're too demanding. Actually, I have two friends like that. One thing that helps me a lot is using the dining cards.
  23. Nancym
    I think they use rice wine vinegar on sushi rice, that should be fine.
  24. Nancym
    Try scaring yourself straight, read "Dangerous Grains". I think you know what needs to happen here. Time to accept it and act on it. Oh yes, wanted to add that staying involved in the message forum might help you with the will-power.
  25. Nancym
    Ha! That's quite a user name. Does it mean what I think it means? Free prostitute? Or perhaps you were refering to the gardening variety?
