    Hey, me too! But it is the week after. REally looking forward to that clean-out... *sigh*

    There are a lot of false negatives but I don't think false positives are possible. Some of us are having luck with the SCD diet in getting to the bottom of ongoing bowel issues. You might give it a look over (link in my signature). I am also intolerant of milk products.
  3. Nancym
    I don't think other food intolerances have been as studied as wheat has been.

    You should go see a rhuemy. You might have a type of arthritis trigger by a bacterial infection, like food poisoning. They're called a "reactive arthritis". There are arthritises caused by autoimmune disease, but they're closely linked gluten intolerance. Anyway, I really recommend anyone have arthritis in many joints go see a rhuematologist...

    If it doesn't go away, get to a good rheumatologist. I found out I have another autoimmune disease which affects my joints. They've got some pretty good treatments now, so suffering in silence isn't necessary.

    Well, this is probably an idea that most would reject out-of-hand but I find a diet that doesn't include a lot of starchy, manufactured stuff is relatively inexpensive and very healthy. I eat meat, veggies, fruits, nuts, eggs, that sort of thing.

    I use splenda, honey and erithrytol.

    You're not alone in your desire to fudge (so to speak): https://www.celiac.com/st_prod.html?p_prodid=1314

    I'm also intolerant of a lot of foods. Surprisingly humans haven't been eating grains for all that long. Only a few thousand years in some areas. So, what did humans eat before grains and convience foods came along? Fruits, vegetables, meat, maybe eggs and nuts. You might want to look into trying a diet meant to help heal a messed up GI tract, like the...

    You need to look for casein, milk and possibly whey on labels. Eggs are ok, its just milk derived products that have casein in them.

    Well, lets say you adopt a gluten free diet. What's the worse that can happen to you? No one ever got ill or sick from a lack of gluten in their diet. At best, you and your kids get a lot healthier. If, 10 years from now, they discover that hey, maybe eating wheat isn't the best thing for any human, you'll be ahead of the game. In the end, its just...

    If you're doing the testing keep eating gluten. Not eating gluten will skew the results so you might get a false negative. Some of us opt out of all the testing and just try a gluten-free diet. My doctors accepted the results of that as proof that I am sensitive to gluten.

    Every time I see this thread I think "Living without magazines".

    LOL! Well actually, I downed quite a lot of wings when I was on Atkins.

    Ok, thanks for that explanation. One question I've had is, if you eliminate the thing that started the cross-reactivity, like gluten, would that help the disease? For instance, the autoimmune disease I have might be a cross reactivity to a bacteria that resembles a protein associated with HLA B27. If I were to somehow get rid of that bacteria, would my...

    Going without dairy is tough. I gave it up on Jan 1, 2006. After a farewell ice cream orgy. I had the feeling of loss too, even worse than with gluten. However, I'm adjusting! I'm finding great new recipes for meat and veggies and stuff that don't include starches or gluten or dairy. I found a great cookbook and I'm looking forward to using it...

    Here's a better explanation of the gluten/zonulin connection: Open Original Shared Link

    I think I can answer your question a bit, however I might butcher the answer with things I don't 100% understand. One thing about gluten sensitivity is that it is linked to intestinal permeability through a hormone called Open Original Shared Link Dr. Fasano is doing a lot of research on this area and some drug trials. In my particular case, I have...

    I used to eat Greek yogurt on Atkins, it is very low carb. But you'd want to wait until after the first 2 weeks. I know what you mean, CMCM, I'm active on a low carb forum and there are all these people saying, "My IBS and arthritis cleared up because of low carb". Heh! Mine did too until I found the low carb wheat products out there...

    ARCHIVED Mongolian Bbq?

    I bet the sauces have soy sauce which contains wheat.

    I don't believe you can really count on enzyme supplements you ingest will get to where they need to be to help break down the stuff you're eating. Even if they do manage to survive to get to the place in your GI tract they need to be, they might get there ahead or just after your food does. It's like trying to jump onto a bobsled!

    Radman, there's a celiac site that several prominent Celiac researchers answer questions. I think I've even seen the "what happens if I'm not 100%" question come up a couple times. Open Original Shared Link In fact, one question was identical to yours that Dr. Fine answered: Open Original Shared Link

    Basically it is a couple of cups of non-starchy veggies per day (I eat more than that though because salad greens have virtually no carbs). And then foods like meats, eggs, low-carb diary (if you can handle it), fruits can be berries (no sugar). That's for the first two weeks, keeping carbs at 20g per day. After that you can slowly add more. Right...

    For pizza I used to use this recipe during my low-carb days, it was fantastic and I never missed the crust. It had all the flavors I loved best. But since then, I've found out I'm unable to process dairy either and I doubt I'll find a pizza sans cheese I would want to eat, might as well have Thai food. Open Original Shared Link I'm not sure what...

    I kind of doubt they'd do that sort of study on humans, at least intentionally, since it is kind of like wondering how much poison you can give someone without making them really, really sick. Instead, wouldn't you do things like rat/mice studies?
