    I think the answer to this might be... they're not celiacs but they're gluten sensitive and have been for many years. If, as Dr. Fine posits, that you're having non-celiac (no villious atrophy yet) antigenic reactions in the bowel to gluten (or other foods) it is setting you up for additional autoimmune diseases. He had a slide on how many years of gluten...

    Rinne, I've been diagnosed recently with akylosing spondylitis but now I'm wondering about Lyme. I went through a check list of symptoms and I have a lot of them. Let me know what you find out about the testing! I'm going to bring it up with my MD when I see him, but I have a feeling it might not get taken seriously.

    I think a lot of our current obesity epidemic is due to people not eating enough protein. This is just one of the many articles/studies I've been reading about this: Open Original Shared Link Anyway, I like to eat a good solid chunk of protein at every meal. I try to get 75-90g a day. I can't imagine I could eat enough vegetable matter, especially...

    I don't think the gluten sensitivity/autoimmune issue is completely understood. There's lots of theories but that's about it. I did just get this from Clan Thompson today that relates: Dr. Fine says that 30% of the people with autoimmune thyroiditis who go gluten-free have a remission. From his essay on enterolab.com: There's too...

    Good luck with the testing. I've heard that Lyme disease can be hard to find in the blood after awhile.

    If I'm having a hard time falling asleep, I'll take a benadryl type of antihistamine.

    I'll quote this for those that aren't link chasers. This was about the animal destroyed by agriculture. ...As you and I know, most vegetarians are motivated, at least in part, by their view of the immorality of exploiting animals. Most of them, of course, are city dwellers who have never had the opportunity to till, plant and harvest a field with a vegetable...

    You might also want to get something supportive from the doctor, just so the judge doesn't think you're being random about it.

    It is a marvel that we have such magnificent minds that we can feel guilt over our choice of foods. But probably a good deal of that brain power came from adopting a diet that contained the flesh of other animals. Would it help to get a historical perspective of meat eating? There are indigenous tribes that eat extremely meat heavy diets. Inuits in the...

    That's an allergy symptom. So you've got both the intolerance and the allergy. Lucky you! :\

    Call your endocrinologist and ask to speak to his nurse, pronto! You don't want to go around being hyper, it isn't pleasant. You can have D as a side effect to hyperthyroid. If you've got hashimoto's it isn't uncommon for your thyroid to kick into gear again. Sometimes it does go away once you get off gluten (30% remission rate according to Dr. Fine)...

    It is a very forgiving recipe. Basically you need eggs, flour, levening and some flavorings. Just get the batter to about the right consistency and don't over/undercook in the microwave. You could even drop some blueberries into the bowl. I like my new recipe because it makes a great breakfast. Before I gave up dairy I used to sometimes put cheese...

    Well, I definitely admire your courage in leaving the note for that family! That took guts. Now most people will probably look at that and blow it off, but you never know. The message might strike home, might lead to a person avoiding the illnesses and disability. So all in all, I'd say it is worth the risk of rejection. But just be aware that most...

    I invented something I call a Bowl Muffin which was basically a muffin you stir up in a bowl and microwave, serve with berries or something on top. It was tasty, fun and super easy. I was on a low carb diet so I used a low carb wheat based mix. The basic recipe for that was 1/4 cup of flour, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1 egg, some sugar free flavoring ...

    Yeah, sounds like palpitations. They're usually harmless but can be a symptom of Graves disease, which means your thyroid is over active. Also, some people who are sensitive to caffeine get them when drinking coffee or soda's that have caffeine. And perhaps some other conditions as well. Be sure to get your parents to take you to a doctor if they don...

    I'm getting a bit confused over the story, is the child a celiac/gluten sensitive? This might be something to bring to our local celiac organizations. Was a good diagnosis for the child ever received? What a story! I'm sure that the public would be very interested in hearing the details should you ever wish to share the entire story. This is every...

    With the 0501 gene you're likely to see neurological problems too. Things like brain fog, neuropathy, MS like lesions on the brain (I think) and so on. You should probably get yourself tested Mom. Sometimes celiac is a silent disease. As far as liking cheese, I'm convinced we usually love the food that we're intolerant too. I am intolerant to both...

    ARCHIVED What If...

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

    Another thought is... perhaps the doctor is an idiot? I mean, they may not realize that gluten lurks in everything. I remember hearing that a doctor gets an average of 11-13 minutes spent on celiac disease in med school. Most people, probably doctors as much as anyone else, don't know crap about their food other than which restaurant they purchased it...

    I saw mesquite flour, I believe it was, in a HFS. I'm always looking for non-starchy flour substitutes. Do you know if this is an actual flour or is it a a gum type of stuff? I recently bought some glucomanon flour and tried to use it like "flour" but it really is more like a gum or thing to make gels. One of these days I'll get around to making flour...

    There really aren't necessarily any symptoms. But getting autoimmune diseases might be one of the results of it.

    ARCHIVED What If...

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

    There's no doubt that many, perhaps even most, people will not change their diet and rely on drugs and accept that they're going to cut about 18 years off their life. But... if it were me, I'd want to know about ALL my options and not telling me that I could manage my diet and be drug free would really stink. Because they're operating under the assumption...

    LOL! I loved this. You have a good way with words.

    We used "green soap" on impetigo when I was a kid. My ezcema is definitely like little itchy bumps that eventually form a "pimple" that, when burst, has a liquid that comes out of it. I can't remember if it is clear or milky. After awhile, the pimples go away and the skin peels. Sometimes I don't go into the the blister phase, but skip right to the...

    You need fat, protein and fewer carbs, especially refined carbs. Everyone in my family gets low blood sugar if we eat a lot of starchy/sugary stuff. I've found a breakfast of eggs or meat will keep me going for 3-4 hours or more. If I'm going to have something starchy (which I'm trying not to because of other issues, including weight) then I'll have it...

    Wow! This is great. I hope he feels better so he'll want to continue.
