    Yep, denial is standard. We all feel this way, we grow up eating wheat daily, consider it normal human food, and then learn our bodies think it is an invader and then we can not believe it. It is quite alienating I know, but here is a more realistic and better perspective. Wheat is only been introduced to the human diet in the last couple thousand years,...

    Could be celiac some slip by the blood labs, it could also be many other things, Colitis, Crohns, or something short term like gas build up and inflation from SIBO. IT could be a blockage or damaged area in the intestines also. The scops should help shed light on the issues, but feel free to share you labs and someone here can help you interpret if the right...

    Updated list here new links, and composed in a more organized manner LOOK for * on links and you can order from them directly, at the bottom are some websites to purchase from NOTE these are alternative foods, in many cases WHOLE foods of 1 ingredient are your best friend with the gluten free diet and cooking in your own home. I made this list to make the...

    I do gluten-free baking with nut flours and use erythritol. This keeps it diabetic friendly and low carb. I have some recipes on my blog if you want to play around with them. >.> eat my own cookies and bread daily.

    ................umm do I know you? LOL sounds like me, I hardly leave my house but to run errands, sell at markets, etc, and work out all the time. The toilet thing is something I have been dreaming of. HECK, I keep looking at a small camper so I can leave the house longer then 2-4 hours without worry of my intestines ruining the day. I dream of getting a...

    this is a fundamental issue with MOST grain flour manufactures. I mean really...you package a product in a bag that cannot contain said product? I mean frack, I can order almond and coconut flour in AIR TIGHT sealed bags. I mean even the 25lb bulk bags...HAVE A PLASTIC bag INSIDE the giant paper bag to contain your flour. WHY can grain flour manufacture...

    Been doing it for a week now, I am trying doctors best and got a deal on some from Vitacost both in capsule form to avoid the crap they put in the other forms I found it available. I am actually using both one in the morning one in the afternoon. Might not work for everyone but I am seeing why many bodybuilders swear by it in the gym. I just figured if it...

    So I started taking Creatine to boost my workout performance and muscle mass building, it is like someone entered the god code on life. Used to be I got tired after 3-4 sets. Now I am sitting here an hour later 12-15 sets and still not feeling tired and pushing further while gaining muscles. This had me wondering, could this help the average joe or jane...

    Funny thing about me and vitamin D, I hardly go outside, and my building live in has a single window with heavy wooden blinds I never open. I hardly have a chance to produce it naturally. I hear you on the sugars, I once thought my excessive erythritol intake was my reason for my loose stools and cut out all sugar alcohols for a 7 day savory cleanse...

    Wanted to give a dosing idea with b-vitamins, magnesium, and vitamin D. I take 1tbsp each of Liquid Health Energy & Stress and Neurological Support with 1 drop 2000iu vitamin D twice daily in a warm beverage before meals. Magnesium can vary and what is best depends on your bowel habits. If you do not have Diarrhea, and you do not use the restroom...

    Aspie here (Asperger syndrome), also a side note, the gluten-free diet helps people with autism. I will admit some of the old quirks are more ironed out. Not as much like "Sheldon" as I used to be and I do not have lockdowns anymore.

    Well keep eating gluten daily til all testing is done. I grew up thinking most my gut issues were normal, heck I had C not D so it was never even on my radar. But this disease is systematic and will cause other issues if left alone and not treated with the proper diet. See my list in the bottom of my post....welcome to my complications. You could at other...

    You should as cyclinglady suggested see about a GI consult to get the endoscope and biopsy, you can also see about a full celiac pannel. >.> I pretty much eat no/low carb and gluten free. I do not eat dairy, grains, beans either. Pretty much a Paleo Diet with Keto Macros. >.> Though I make my own vegan cheese knock offs using nuts and oooflavors...

    The cheese and avocado are fine, the gluten was not aerosolized anything like that. NOW if your allergic to wheat there could be some issues being around it like that (some severe cases of peanut allergies can go off if it is in the room) but you would be anaphylactic. I get the paranoia, it gets to the point of being almost PTSD. You fear to get sick...

    Just in case do check for symptoms deficiency in magnesium and various B-vitamins. Not only will you absorb less with a damaged gut, but they body uses more when doing repairs or under stress.

    I sorta bump into walls a lot more, misjudge distances and hit my shoulder on door frames in a sort of totter fashion, catch myself almost falling sometimes on stairs, drop stuff, find I lose heat and cold sensitivity and often burn myself, or cut myself. These stick around for a while and slowly taper off. My ataxia normally hits hard the first day within...
  18. Ennis-TX
    It can take months for the reaction to die down, my last incident left me with come and go issues for months. And I seem to have suffered other issues that have not resolved for the past 9months. If you did indeed suffer ataxia damage, those will wean off over months-years. Just because your levels are "normal" does not mean they are right. Everyone...
  19. Ennis-TX
    Yep stick to whole foods, DO NOT eat out, it is Russian roulette just bring your own food in meal prep boxes. The numbing could either be from deficiency issues with magnesium and B-vitamins OR it could be like me and have gluten ataxia. If it is gluten ataxia you really need to avoid it as your body might be attacking your nervous system and brain and can...

    Probably cut all carbs, most gluten-free alternatives are loaded with starches, sugars, carbs that the gut bacteria go to town on and you get gas and bloat. With damaged or compromised GI tracts your more prone to candida and SIBO also. Damaged guts can also get inflammation from some spices or other food sensitivities. I went mostly keto/atkins...

    I went paleo IE grain, and dairy free. Worked wonders for my other AI diseases. I initially was ordering bread from Julian Bakery or Mikey's. I now make my own coconut and almond bread and sell at farmers markets. I also eat an almost keto/atkins macros, as in low carb no sugars at all. Sorta had to when my UC was flaring to sugars, then had to cut carb when...

    Assume your damaged gut is carpet burned on the inside, you do not want to put spices, vinegar, or anything that might irritate it. Paprika, Chili powder, cayenne, etc. are Nightshades and should be doubly avoided for awhile Nutmeg, I would be hesitant, back when I was young and stupid we used it as a drug, 6 hour delay but a 12-24 hour high. I never...

    For me it is a bit important....as I have a corn allergy and the dextrose can cause a minor reaction, heck most salt is CCed somehow but I found I can get by using the blocks of pink sea salt and loading pieces into a salt grinder. PS most salts contain trace amounts of iodine naturally anyway. Coconut, our local HEB has organic unsweetened coconut 1...

    Where in the world do you get coconut with propylene glycol or anything else in it? NOW your Vannila extract WILL have that unless you use pure alcohol based one or use pure vanilla bean powder *Spicey Organics. Try using Organic coconut without anything else added or treated, omit the extract, and the salt. If the salt is iodized then it could make DH...

    They had the option for a chopped up burger over salad, I got the buffalo burger pattie version, years ago soon after diagnosis and got sick. This was like 2015.
