    I have repeatedly had my statements invalidated and asked for documentation. I have offered documentation. That documentation has been denied and then questioned. Meanwhile, I do not see a whole lot of scientific validation of those opposing my views. Here is a practical statement. I made my original statement because it encompasses the OP's intolerance...

    I see a lot of people posting things which go way too far one direction or another. Lots of people think organic and so forth is a complete panacea. First, take a look at your history. In the past century, life expectancy and quality of life have increased substantially, to nearly double what it was in previous centuries, even millenia. Why is that? Mostly...

    I'm not going to argue with a bunch of people who are only out to argue. Here is a short ling from the National Institutes of Health stating the link between Candida and gliadin: Open Original Shared Link So if someone wants to argue, they can argue with people with multiple PhD's in multiple countries. The origin of the discovery was from Swedish research...

    Slight detraction- Epsom salt is not off label for ingesion. Using it as an oral antifungal is off label. However, as noted, it is listed for internal use. Separate studies have shown it to be an effective antifungal for external use and in the laboratory. If a drug company actually does the research which proves it effective as an antifungal, you can then...

    It is not off label. If you look for magnesium sulfate in the drug store, you will find a liquid solution in bottles. This is the dry product which is mixed with water to make that solution. It has been used as a laxative for centuries. In reasonable amounts, it is not unsafe unless you have renal insufficiency, punctured bowel or rectal bleeding. There is...

    Xanthan gum would work.

    It's not off label, depending on the brand you buy. I take about 1/3 tsp at a time. Otherwise... It is a really strong laxative but very effective antifungal, gluten free and also acts as a magnesium supplement (It is magnesium sulfate). However, some brands list the laxative use and others do not.

    You seem to have Candidiasis. Yeast introduces more yeast into your system and sugar allows yeast to proliferate. Not much you can do about the yeast except try to avoid it. Use other forms of leavening for now, until you bring the growth under control. For sugar, switch to pure Sucralose, which is available on Amazon. Be careful with it because it truly...

    You are definitely describing a wheat allergy, not a Celiac reaction. This will become worse and can advance easily into anaphylaxis. First step for you is to get an Epi-pen and never go anywhere without it. Second step is to talk to your doctor and get a full food allergy panel, to make sure it's only wheat (or confirm it is wheat). This is expensive...

    I enjoy wine, myself. And gluten free beer and occasional distilled alcohol. I am not trying to tell anyone to avoid alcohol. (Though personally I prefer sweet white wine or dark beer.) Even used to brew my own beer and came up with a couple of good gluten free recipes after learning of my own Celiac condition. I am mentioning what scientific evidence has...

    I'm just passing information along. Anyone can have an opposing view or ignore it if they choose. I wasn't passing anything along which has not been verified by scientific research. If something causes no problem for you, then don't avoid it.

    Here is the problem with wine. Wine is fermented with yeast. Ingesting yeast and sugar increases growth of Candida, which has been proven to have a surface protein identical to gliadin, as noted in my last post. Therefore, increasing intestinal growth of Candida can cause the same results as ingesting gluten. "The configurations of the amino acids that make...

    Hmm. You may have the same double whammy I do. Celiac disease plus ulcerative colitis. Nothing like a mixture of two autoimmune gastric disorders. Plus either one leaves one prone to Candidiasis. But ulcerative colitis is drastically exacerbated by any red meat. I have a feeling that both can be present but only one is interpreted on biopsy, according to...

    Bartfull, you mean you eat kittens?!! I have absolutely no problem with coffee. I drink at least a pot of french roast a day. User 001, try pure sucralose, no fillers. Can get it on Amazon. a 125 Gm bag equals over 100 lbs of sugar. I use that and it takes less than 1/8 tsp of sucralose for a gal of tea or Kool-Aid. Try Guerrero brand corn tortillas...

    Real wine is not a problem. At least not in gluten terms. However, most wine coolers and "flavored wines" (Boone's Farm, Thunderbird, etc) are made with malt liquor. So avoid those.

    NatureChick is right. I can state my own experience and a few generalities but experiences and effects differ widely from person to person. Whether Celiac or some other problem, it becomes a matter of re-learning your body responses over time. I've been gluten free for about 7 or 8 years but still wind up with occasional unexpected consequences.

    Yes, it can become inflamed enough to notice from the outside. For years before my diagnosis, it did not matter what exercises I did (including suspension sit-ups), I could never lose the slight bulge just below my waistline. When I went completely gluten free, I lost over 20 lbs in one month. Not fat. It was all inflammation. Meaning I was carrying that...

    I'm a bit late to this discussion but I am currently using Prolab N-Large 3. It seems to work well for me. It does contain soy derivatives (I believe the maltodextrin) but causes no reaction for me. An added bonus is that it's sold in 10 lb tubs. (Tubs come in handy for gardening when the powder is gone! It also tastes good. I had hit a critical point where...

    Think we can all relate. Tiring, frustrating, depressing. There are times you feel like the pain and distress will never end. It will get better, though. I had chronic GERD for years, from the time I woke up and nonstop through the whole day. Once I was away from gluten for a while, it finally went away. Unless I eat something really greasy, then I deserve...

    Through my 20's and early 30's, I traveled and was proud of the fact that I have drank the beer in 5 countries, at least 13 states on two continents. Had a blast. I am ex military, used to lift 600 lb engines. Then I wound up at age 40 with fatigue, body and joint aches, gastric problems that never ended, random nervous issues and emotional disruptions (mostly...

    We all struggle with these things at first. Worst for me used to be the holidays and events at work, which always focus on high gluten items. The food was never the hard part but the social issue, seeming like a drama queen because I had to refuse anything. Never went into any detail of why until people insisted, then explained. On the other hand, it did...
